Toy Story 4? It seems so...

[Stuntkid]

First cars 2 Now this?

I'm not sure about it...
On one hand, 3 wrapped things up pretty well.
On the other hand, that's what I said about 2 when 3 came out, and I was pleasantly surprised.

For something like this, i think the only way to tell is to see the movie.

Really? Toy story 3 ended pretty much perfectly, I really don't want them to ruin that...

Toy Story 3 was supposed to be the end of it... All of it was supposed to wrap up... They're gonna beat it dead now

WHAT?! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

No! There's no need to milk the series. Just leave it alone, Pixar.

Why? No really, why?

If this actually happens, then is Disney taking Toy Story down the Shrek route?

There's no point in another sequel. Toy Story 3 made the perfect conclusion to a great film series, the only real way to add to the franchise is to take a step back, like Shrek did!

*head bangs heavily on table then rolls side to side* No, no, no, no, no....

What? How is pixar going to top 3? 3 ended so beautifully.

Well Pixar is the Bioware of movies. They always seem to make a masterpiece.

Wait... What? That doesn't make any sense. They completed the story with a loop. It starts out with a blissful child and ends when that child leaves and a parallel blissful child replaces him. What are they going to do next? Ah, it'll probably take another 4 years to make I'll see then.

I think all of you need to go back and re-read the article. "The trade states that many of the films voice actors could possibly have another film attached to their respective contracts, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the studio is obligated to put another feature-length sequel into production." What that means is Tim Allen is simply showing that if Pixar did decide to continue on with Toy Story, he would be on board with it. This is NOT a confirmation for a new film, or even an announcement that they are working such a thing.

Later in the article, Lee Unkrich does say this. "I really tried my best to end the story of Andy and his toys and bring that story to a close in a really nice way at the end of ['Toy Story 3']. That being said, we know that people love the characters, love Woody and Buzz, and would hate to say good-bye to them completely." So it seems nothing is in pre-production, production, or even remotely on the table. He's just saying that if some really good idea strikes him, he wouldn't be against revisiting the world. And that doesn't even mean it has to be a full-length picture. It could be a short, a miniseries, a webseries...anything.

And what you all have to remember is the Toy Story gang are all the babies of John Lasseter. He directed the first film. Woody, Buzz, Andy, and that whole universe was his first great hit and what put Pixar on the map. It's their flagship franchise. There is no way in hell he will let another movie about them come out if it's not up to the standard set by the other films. He scrapped the first version of Toy Story 2 when it was already well into pre-production, and made the director step down so he could put in Lee Unkrich. I'm sure he will not hesitate to do so again if they manage to screw it up a second time.

So how do you explain Cars 2? or in fact Cars 1? Those were both huge passion projects for Lasseter. Tom Hanks has basically said that Toy Story 4 is in production and when asked about it John Lasseter does not say no and merely dodges the question.

Toy story 3 is the ultimate end you can,t write a sequel to it.

 

[J-dog42]

I loved the Toy Story trilogy and I do not want this. If they make another Toy Story movie I will be very angry. I wish Hollywood could just let a good thing be. Even if it is another excellent movie, I still wont be happy.

I thought Toy story 3 ended just fine. I really hope that Toy story doesn't get hit with what my dad refers to as "Star wars syndrome" where a perfectly good, solid set of films almost get run in with sub par cash ins.

Well first of all, I rather liked both Cars 1 and 2, so posing that argument really does nothing for me. Secondly, the standards people hold for Cars 1 and Cars 2 are different from the standards people hold Toy Story to, and both the studio and Lasseter are aware of that. They know adults today grew up with those characters, and I think it's safe to say the Toy Story films are the most liked of all their films. If they let people down with Toy Story, they let down the people that loved them when they were a little warehouse in Emeryville. Also, I'd like to see exactly where you got that info about Tom Hanks and John Lasseter before making a decision about that.

And even if it is true, I don't think it's the end of the world. Even if you think Cars was a letdown, I think everyone agrees they have not let us down with Toy Story. There's really no rational reason to let your opinion of one taint your opinion on the other. After all, they are completely different films made by completely different people, except for Lasseter. The direction, stories, and screenplays were all done by different people.

If you saw the animated short before Cars 2, then you saw yourself that there are still angles of the Toy Story universe that can be explored. The story may have ended for Andy, but it's only begun for Bonnie and the Sunnyside daycare center. I'm not worried.

I'd rather see a Bugs life 2

Toy story is great, but i can only get so much of Woody.

First cars 2 Now this?

Why did you necro a YEAR old thread? This was over 367 days ago, they were most likely talking about the animation in Cars 2, or maybe some other shorts in other future flicks for amusement. There's no reason for people to get all worried.

Seriously, did no one read the link and notice they were talking about Cars 2 coming out "later next year" sort of talk who posted in this thread lately?

(Sigh, I know I'm going to get harassed for "Well.. I knew!!!" responses)
