Summary

Woody has always been confident about his place in the world and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. But when Bonnie adds a reluctant new toy called “Forky” to her room, a road trip adventure alongside old and new friends will show Woody how big the world can be for a toy. This is the sequel to Toy Story 3, which was released in 2010. Toy Story 4 was first confirmed in 2014, when John Lasseter was set to co-direct. Since that original announcement, the film has gone through numerous changes behind the scenes, with Josh Cooley being named solo director and the script being substantially rewritten. At one point, the narrative was supposed to follow Woody and Buzz Lightyear on a quest to find Bo Peep. Want to know more about Toy Story 4?
