“We are working on ‘Toy Story 4’ right now,” he tells U.K. talk show host Graham Norton. “A while ago someone stuck a microphone in my face and asked if there was going to be a new film and I said yes and I then got a call from the Disney lawyers who said I couldn’t say anything about the new film because it affects the Disney stock market price. I said, ‘Hey, I’m sorry but let me point out, I am Woody, pal!'”

Idina never admitted to that though.disneyprincess11 wrote:This isn't surprising when Disney scolded Idina for doing the same thing to Frozen 2.
Agreed. Though I haven't ranted that much about the upcoming film, the storyline is at least more suitable for a TV movie or something.Why is this even a movie in the first place? Why ruin a perfect ending for a story that can easily be a 90-minute TV movie?
Source: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/d ... ood-840292Q: Pixar has described Toy Story 4 as a romantic comedy. Is it more of an adult story than the previous movies?
Ed Catmull: In the case of Toy Story, we had basically the perfect trilogy. So in this case it's not like, "OK, you can go on to the next step." We really wrapped that one up. At this point, you've got to go in a very different direction. This is a different kind of exploration.
Source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/film/what-to ... toy-story/John Lasseter: “Myself and the creative leadership of Toy Story – Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter, Lee Unkrich – got together after Toy Story 3 and we made a promise to each other that we would not make another Toy Story unless we came up with an idea that was as good as or better than any of the other three movies and was really different. Andrew and I were talking one day and we came up with a nugget of an idea and thought it could be really cool. Then we started developing it quietly. We didn’t tell anybody. Nobody at Pixar, nobody at Disney, because we didn’t want to get anyone’s hopes up…”

Jim Morris: We were so happy with Toy Story 1, 2 and 3 as a trilogy, we thought: don't touch it. Walk away. And John Lassiter, Andrew Stanton and the creative leaders of the company agreed - we made a pinky swear (he refers to an American kiddies' secrecy pact done with the 'pinky,' or little finger) - that they wouldn't touch it unless they had an idea that they all just loved and believed in it so much that they wanted to do it.
Andrew primarily came up with the story and then flushed it out with John. It's in the same world, with the same characters, but it's not really an extension . . . I just call it a new chapter. That was the Andy story. Andy's gone. And this new chapter is a love story, and it's a love story between Woody and Bo Peep. It's kind of their next chapter now that Andy's gone. You know, what do the toys do when their original owner's gone away? How do they continue on? And it's very sweet and emotional, and it's a little bit different...
Good, The Incredibles 2 is the only up-coming PIXAR film I'm excited about.disneyprincess11 wrote:So, how's beating a dead horse working for Pixar?

What dead horse? You did see the critical an fan acclaim for toy story 3 didn't you? It has shown no signs of slowing down in that regard. Yes, we all expected and hoped the last one would be the last one, but its not dead until they make a subpar toy story movie.disneyprincess11 wrote:So, how's beating a dead horse working for Pixar?

Pixar just announced it had movied The Incredibles 2 to 2018, thus pushing Toy Story 4 back to 2019; Docter, who is only helping develop the film’s story, assures that everything is going well and, as it were, perfectly shiny.
“It’s hard, because as we get in there, we realize you don’t want this to just be another regurgitation of something we’ve seen,” he updates. “We’ve really plumbed the depths of these characters with Woody and Buzz, so to find something new that hasn’t been done, I feel like we’re onto it now. But it’s taken some real deep investigative work.”
At EW’s last check-in with Pixar chief John Lasseter, the film was said to focus on the relationship between Woody and Bo Peep, who was absent in Toy Story 3. Docter confirms that the rom-com aspect is still very much alive.
“The last I saw, those were still elements that they’re playing with,” he says of the script, currently being penned by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack. “Again, it brings it to something that you haven’t seen before, which I think is what people want. On the one hand, you like the familiarity, you like these characters, you want to see them again — but if it was the same movie or it felt like, ‘Eh, it was a little bit like Toy Story 2,’ then we’re kind of sunk.”
Yep, it sounds like they're desperately struggling to make this even remotely worthwhile.Sotiris wrote:What is happening, though, is Toy Story 4, a franchise reboot that Docter is hoping won’t retread territory from the original trilogy, but will offer a thoroughly new take on the tale of Woody, Buzz, and friends that audiences haven’t seen yet.
