In news that has taken fans, the Internet, and Twitter by storm, Pixar announced that they’re making Toy Story 4 and setting it to be released in 2017. It will be directed by John Lasseter and written by Rashida Jones…interesting.

What are my thoughts on this? I, along with mostly everyone else, don’t think it’s needed as the trilogy was wrapped up so well with Toy Story 3. I see this just as a resourceful way to make money. But, on the other hand, I don’t “hate” Pixar for doing this, although I’d rather they didn’t.
What are your thoughts on this?
The Animation Commendation 
As much as I wish they wouldn’t do this, I am still interested in what it turns out to be. Toy Story has always been my favorite Pixar film, so I won’t exactly be very happy to see it come to be a failure.
Yeah, I think we all will still go to see it and enjoy it!
I’m not really okay with this, as I feel like it’s just going to undermine Toy Story 3’s original intention, as being a full on ending to the franchise or series of films if they’re going to use the same characters. I really don’t know what the deal is with Pixar these days in applying prequels or sequels to films that really didn’t ask for them. I can understand Incredible s 2 somewhat, but Toy Story 4 just feels like an unnecessary cash grab from Pixar, and that’s not okay.
I understand and sympathize with your points.
I don’t think they really necessarily NEED another Toy Story as I agree that Toy Story 3 really wrapped up the series well. Also, another interesting idea that Rashida Jones is penning the script. It piques my interest, but I’m not sure what to think.
Yeah, I don’t feel it’s needed and Rashida Jones writing is just…weird to me.
The whole thing seems off.
Why? Granted, I was never particular invested in Toy Story, but the original trilogy worked because it was essentially one script split in three parts. The story was finished.
Yeah, I dunno.
UUGGGHHH. WHHHYYYY. I….Didn’t they say that the third one will be the final one? What else could they do? Repeat the cycle with Andy, but with Bonnie? Sorry I am ranting like a lunatic, but………….I can’t really see why they would do this other than sequel-itis. Maybe I will be more excited when I watch it and when the release date comes sooner. Expect a blog on this to come out form me later today. Sorry for my rant.
They’ve announced that it will be a love story.
Okay……………….Interesting-ish………
I was surprised by the news but good writing can make anything good so we will see.
True.
