Those comments are interesting... I don't think they're attempting to outdo TS3's climax, but I can only surmise that Bo Peep having been off alone and away from the others may have something to do with what he's referring to when he talks about not being able to make it through those final scenes. I'm just glad the character + Annie Potts is getting a day in the sun.

The DisInsider is reporting that the plotline of the toys trying to find Bo Peep has been scrapped.

At one point the story revolved around our favorite toys on the search for Bopeep. That idea has been said to be scrapped now, but according to actress Annie Potts, Bopeep’s role would indeed be larger.

Honestly, good. That is a story that would adapt perfectly on TV. That wouldn’t be a story big enough to continue the movies after a perfect third one. I hope Bo Peep is included though. I was so disappointed that she was not in the third one. If the fourth one made Tim Allen lose it, it must be after Toy Story 3. Plus at the expo, they did not tell us the plot. Nothing about it at all. Which now makes sense since the original plot is gone now

Shot in the dark, but maybe the story is going to try and connect the Woody/Bo Peep angle to a similar story for some humans in the movie. Instead of it just being a rescue the love interest type of film.

This is all speculation, so I don't claim to know anything.

But we don't really know (in film universe anyway) what happened to Andy's dad or the relationship between him and Andy's mom.

Maybe it's similar to the Woody/ Bo Peep situation: two lovers torn apart by fate. Or heck, maybe after so long they realize things changed and they had different lives.

Kinda like how in Finding Nemo, we didn't really know how Dory knew how to read, her origin, etc. Then the sequel explored that path.

Is it something we needed another movie for? Debatable.

But I can't help but take Tim Allen's comment ("This is expanded, clever, funny — it’s [Avengers Infinity War], if you like big movies") to mean we're gonna get some more backstory for many characters. And if Bo Peep is still a part of all this then it could connect.

I'm glad that the story will be more epic than just finding Bo Peep especially since I wasn't too fond of how the film's original plot was likened to a romantic comedy. I do hope Bo Peep still has a role though.

I don't know how they can scrap that whole plot this late in the game. I'm kinda disappointed there too. I want a smaller story for a change. Less time introducing new characters, more dialogue.

Edit: ok, second thought, if the movie was supposed to be about another search mission then ok yeah I don't mind scrapping that aspect. We don't need another rescue mission. There are other types of plots to explore. But I do still want focus on Bo.

[Sotiris]

The way both Tim Allen and Tom Hanks have talked about how emotional Toy Story 4 is going to be, made me suspect they might be killing off a character. Who do you think it might be? I hope it's not Bo Peep!

[Sotiris]

Wow. That's got to be the most boring teaser in the history of animation. I literally cannot recall a worse one.

[Atlantica]

I'm in absolute agreement with you, real shame ...

[Sotiris]

Not to mention, the new character, Forky, is quite annoying. I hope the movie doesn't focus too much on him.

The teaser poster's pretty dull too.

I don't get the trailer either. I know that it's for nostalgic reasons, but it loses its meaning when we all know the last one was supposed to be well....the last one. Not to mention we get new TS stuff every year. The teaser for TS3 was much more creative anyway.

Don't single out Forky as annoying yet, we only heard his 2 lines. But, I love the teaser poster though.

[Disney's Divinity]

I like the teaser and the posters. *shrug*

My only question mark is the fork. I'm not sure I want them to go in the direction that all inanimate objects are sentient. Partly because it reminds me of that Seth Rogen movie (which itself was partly a spoof on Toy Story, wasn't it? ) and The Brave Little Toaster, the Toy Story before there was a Toy Story. I would've rather Bo Peep had been present instead.

[Sotiris]

Disney has released an updated synopsis. It seems they're completely abandoning the romantic aspect. I hope that doesn't mean Bo Peep will get sidelined again. The new plot sounds too similar to Ralph Breaks the Internet with Vanellope experiencing the wide open world and wanting to stay there.

Woody has always been confident about his place in the world and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. But when Bonnie adds a reluctant new toy called “Forky” to her room, a road trip adventure alongside old and new friends will show Woody how big the world can be for a toy.

Wow, a road trip. So excited.

[disneyprincess11]

There are also carnival toys as well. (Coco Easter Egg btw!)

And apparently, the synopsis that came with that still mentioned Bo Peep, but I can't find it.

I hope to gosh this is not yet another movie where they get separated from their owner.

[thedisneyspirit]

Anyone think this is the same plot as the first movie? The fork is now Buzz apparently, and like Divinity said, does that suggest now that all objects are alive in this world? I don't...I don't like the implications of that.

This article gives some more details about Forky:

"Like most people, I assumed that Toy Story 3 was the end of the story. And it was the end of Woody's story with Andy," the film's director, Josh Cooley, said in a statement given to E! News Monday. "But just like in life, every ending is a new beginning. Woody now being in a new room, with new toys, and a new kid, was something we have never seen before. The questions of what that would be like became the beginning of an entertaining story worth exploring."

And so, audiences will follow Forky's journey when Toy Story 4, produced by Mark Nielsen and Jonas Rivera, hits theaters on June 21, 2019. Brought to life as a craft-project using googly eyes and pipe cleaner, Forky feels out of place in Bonnie's room with the manufactured toys. "The world of Toy Story is built upon the idea that everything in the world has a purpose. A toy's purpose is to be there for its child. But what about toys that are made out of other objects? Forky is a toy that Bonnie made out of a disposable spork, so he's facing a crisis," Cooley says. "He wants to fulfill his purpose as a spork, but now has a new toy purpose thrust upon him."

Emmy Award winner Tony Hale was cast to provide the voice of Forky. "It's a huge thrill to be part of the Toy Story family," he confessed. "But it's going to take a while for it to really sink in."

It was easy to get Hale on board. "A utensil's existential crisis?" he asked. "I'm in!"

Hale was the director's first and only choice to play the part. "Tony's performance as Forky is a comedy salad of confidence, confusion, and empathy...served by hilarious spork," Cooley joked.

And apparently, the synopsis that came with that still mentioned Bo Peep, but I can't find it.

Annie Potts is still part of the cast, so at least she'll be in the movie.

The film also stars Tim Allen, Annie Potts, Joan Cusack, Blake Clark, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Estelle Harris, Don Rickles, Jeff Pidgeon, Michael Keaton, Bonnie Hunt, Timothy Dalton, Jeff Garlin and Laurie Metcalf. Josh Cooley directed the animated film.

Don Rickles? Unless they have enough unused recordings to piece together before this death that sounds like an outdated cast list.

As for my thoughts, it was amusing enough. People saying its the most boring teaser might want to remind themselves of toy stor 3's teaser.

While that might seem like it has more going on in it, it really told us nothing about the movie. This one however implies a lot with little of the actual plot, with the spork character. Toy story 3's was about building a logo, that's it.


And the whole "everything inanimate is alive" thing? that is not a new concept to toy story. They talk about the Christmas ornaments being alive in the last one. They also bent some rules with Mr potatohead I think. I think it will mostly come down to if a child's imagination and attachment is strong enough most things can be given life.
