While out promoting his film Larry Crowne (out this weekend), Tom Hanks — the voice of Woody in Toy Story 1-3 said that a Toy Story 4 was in the works. After all of the promotions for Toy Story 3 being the last one of the loveable series, this announcement comes as a surprise.
Well, Hanks’ actual words were, “I think there will be yeah. Yeah, yeah. I think they’re working on it now. There you go.”
That doesn’t exactly strike a note of confidence into this film critic’s heart. Pixar already “toyed” (get it, get it?) with us in the Toy Story short that ran at the beginning of Cars 2. And while I love Toy Story, I felt like the third one ended like Titanic — in a way that made it pretty impossible to make another one. For those who haven’t seen the third one, it came out last year so don’t be offended by my spoiler in the next sentence. Toy Story without Andy is like jelly without peanut butter — the characters are still sweet but there’s nothing to hold them together.
What do you guys think? A welcomed addition to the Pixar family? Or just an excuse to have another $1 billion blockbuster?
