Disney Announces ‘Toy Story 4’ for 2017
John Lasseter, who directed, “Toy Story” and “Toy Story 2,” will direct ‘Toy Story 4’.
“We love these characters so much; they are like family to us,” said Lasseter. “We don’t want to do anything with them unless it lives up to or surpasses what’s gone before. ‘Toy Story 3’ ended Woody and Buzz’s story with Andy so perfectly that for a long time, we never even talked about doing another ‘Toy Story’ movie. But when Andrew, Pete, Lee and I came up with this new idea, I just could not stop thinking about it. It was so exciting to me, I knew we had to make this movie—and I wanted to direct it myself.”
The film is scheduled for release on June 16, 2017.
