movies/tv Toy Story 4 officially confirmed

[smitty121325 64]

My only response to this is WHY?! This is completely unnecessary. The third film wrapped things up perfectly. Let it stay as a trilogy. There is no need for this. This is a mistake a lot of studios make, Blue Sky being the most prominent example. Yes, there is a FIFTH Ice Age film, set to be released in 2016. UGH!!!

I was really surprised by this announcement, and thought it was a joke at first. The third movie ended on a perfect note and the shorts and specials have been great followups. Still, more big screen Toy Story excites me!

I have no idea where they can take this

 

Nor do I have any idea how I feel about this

If they have more stories to tell, then they should do it.

 

But I take sequelizing as a sign of lack of confidence in your film's legacy.

 

But having it end as a trilogy... I think they closed it up nicely.

Out of the 6 announced upcoming pixar films,

 

3 are sequels.

 

Screw you.

I said this right after I saw toy story 3... I knew they were were make it go on with this little girl story and have it go on till she grows up...

 

I thought toy story had a really good and touching ending and didnt need to continue it... Idk people dont know how to make a decent movie so they keep having to do sequels..

They keep making sequels probably because of this reason.

Nit casually looks over to Ultimate Toybox Collection of Toy Story 1, 2 and 3 and slowly says "Fuck."

Well, this needs a proper response!

Personally they should of stopped at 3. They ended on such a good note with Andy going to college and the toys with Bonnie. Now they are going to do a whole nother story with Bonnie as their new owner. I want to see it, but expectations wise, not looking forward to it.

See, I don't mind that they did a 4, but I thought Disney specifically said that 3 was going to be the end of it all.

I'm sorry, but I just have to post this, it's too funny.

Edit: post is long, so I'm going to spoiler it

I don't really know how to feel about this. I hate to say "This is bad and wrong and evil and kill it with fire!" before I've even seen it, but as many have said, it really seems pointless. They've concluded the story arc in a very effective and interesting way. I feel like Toy Story has the most successful of any Disney sequels. They actually, like, warrant existing. Okay, maybe 2 didn't really need to exist, but it told a different and interesting story, introduced new and complex characters and overall was just a good sequel, whether it was a necessary follow-up or not.

 

I think that some people have had some good ideas. I particularly liked @Jeric's idea of having it be a prequel, and having Woody be owned by one of Andy's parents. I think that would be a really cool idea and would tie in well with the series. Especially, I believe in Toy Story 2, Andy's mom mentions that Woody has been a toy that's been in the family for a long time, so canonically, it makes sense. And introducing old-fashioned toys as new characters, I think, could expand on the story well. Because, let's face it, while I love the original characters, a lot of them have become caricatures of themselves, to a certain degree. (Spanish Buzz? Really?) And I seriously don't see that getting any better if the story moves forward in the the timeline. I don't really see how they'll be able to introduce new conflict with these characters anymore and not have something flat and stale. Having a whole cast of new characters, on the other hand, I think would be a good way to tell a new story while keeping some of the old ones (maybe having one or two older characters that could have existed at that time, like, Bo or Hamm or something like that, just for consistency's sake.) The more I think about that, the more I think that that's a movie I'd like to see.

But then I remember, the status quo is God. While going backward in the timeline, rather than forward, would be a good idea, it's still a risky one, especially if you need to axe the majority of the characters that people love in order for it to make sense, like the fact that Jesse and Buzz wouldn't have been around back then or that toys like RC wouldn't have existed yet. To avoid this, I could see this potentially being an Andy prequel, where he first gets Woody from his mom, but that would pose some of the same problems of stale characters and no characters like Jesse or Buzz. The other problem with that is that I can't see it playing out any differently than Buzz's story did, so there's that. But, again, I think it's more important to the company that the characters that people know and love and have associated with Toy Story be in the film for the sake of brand recognition. Also, to not get people off-board because their favorite character wasn't in it.

 

But, I don't know. Disney's taken risks in the past that have worked out for the better. Maybe this is another that they might end up doing. I can't say until the finished product is out, but I can't help but admit that I'm more skeptical and worried than I am excited.
