The insight of the Disney·Pixar’s film was given at the D23 Expo 2015 on Friday, being held at Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim.
The future was uncertain for the Pixar hero playthings in Toy Story 3, released in 2010.
Finally, Buzz Lightyear and Woody fans can rejoice.
The Toy Story films have always mined emotional territory, but the highly anticipated Toy Story 4 will tackle surprisingly adult subject matter for an animation.
Now we know more about the film, which has been described as a romantic film with a Pixar touch. Bo Peep (Annie Potts) was written out of “Toy Story 3” as Andy grew up and shed most of his playthings, so this could mean that “TS4” will be set in the past.
The last movie made over a billion at the box office, making it one of the most successful animated movies of all time.
Disney’s Chief Executive Officer John Lasseter confirmed during this week’s D23 Expo that the story will revolve around Woody and Bo Peep.
Plans were also announced for Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida.
Also joining in the celebration were writers Rashida Jones and Will McCormack (“Celeste & Jesse Forever”), who are part of the “Toy Story 4” team.
Morris said, “It will not put much focus on the interaction between the characters and children”.
The plot takes the characters to a Marine Life Institute, where we meet some new faces: Ed O’Neill voices Hank the octopus, along with his Modern Family co-star Ty Burrell as Bailey the beluga whale.
