It’s a story about a relationship between Woody and Bo Peep.

Story details about the upcoming sequel to Finding Nemo, Finding Dory, were revealed during Disney’s D23 event this weekend, along with one new casting announcement – Ed O’Neill (Married, With Children/Modern Family) will play an octopus named Hank.
In anticipation, cast and crew members previewed the film during Disney’s annual D23 Expo on Friday.
“That’s our rule. We don’t do things just to print money”. Taking the same weekend frame that Inside Out has enjoyed this summer, the picture will just keep swimming next June, along with much of the creative team that made the 2003 original film so beloved. The trilogy were so flawless that John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter and Lee Unkrich swore that they won’t ever make another Toy Story UNLESS they had a worthy enough tale to tell.
Rumors of another installment began back in 2011, when Tom Hanks hinted in an interview that another “Toy Story” movie was in the works.
But Pixar was finally ready to give more information on it, three years after announcing it. The film will be titled Coco and is still being directed by Toy Story 3’s Lee Unkrich.
Speaking at the convention, Lasseter dished on what fans can expect from the fourth Toy Story instalment, “It’s something we’ve never done with Toy Story before”.
If you’re anything like us, you were pretty bitter when, during the otherwise flawless plot of Disney/Pixar’s masterpiece Toy Story 3, cowboy toy Woody’s one true love, ceramic figurine (Little) Bo Beep, was left out.
Classic… Woody and Buzz Lightyear in a scene from Toy Story 2. It was such a hit with old and new fans that the movie became the first animated film to earn $1 billion in ticket sales alone.
