Walt Disney isn’t done playing with Woody and Buzz.
The company promised Wall Street analysts this morning it will release a fourth iteration of Pixar’s Toy Story franchise on June 16, 2017. And it has the same old gang lined up: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and the director John Lasseter.
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.
While DreamWorks is set to launch its Chinese venture in Shanghai and to collaborate with South Korean animation studios, John Lasseter says Disney-Pixar has no immediate plans for localized projects in Asia.
Inside Out comes to US theatres in 3D on June 19, 2015.
From an adventurous balloon ride above the clouds to a monster-filled metropolis, Academy Award®-winning director Pete Docter (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Up”) has taken audiences to unique and imaginative places. In Disney•Pixar’s original movie “ Inside Out,” he will take us to the most extraordinary location of all—inside the mind.
Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it’s no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley’s main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.
Maybe you’ve heard of The Pixar Theory by Jon Negroni that showed how all the characters of the Pixar movies are connected to each other in one universe. The evidence was undeniable!
The folks at Pixar are masters of visual storytelling, and color is just one element in their toolkit that helped movies Up and Finding Nemo sail over the competition.

Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Wall-E, and all of Pixar’s other beloved films could have never come to be if things had gone just a bit differently back in 1985.
