It probably shouldn’t come as a surprise that Toy Story 3, a animated film which took in over a billion dollars in worldwide receipts, would be seeing a sequel in development.

Such is the case here as Toy Story 4 is already being worked on by Pixar, according to the franchise’s main star, Tom Hanks.

While promoting his current romantic-comedy Larry Crowne, Hanks was asked by BBC News whether there will be another Toy Story film, to which he answered:

“I think there will be yeah. Yeah, yeah, think they’re working on it now. There you go.”

Although fans of the franchise will be delighted by the news, many critics considered the third film to be solid end to the much-loved Pixar franchise centering on Woody (Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen) and their toy comrades.

The studio did recently announce plans to release a ‘mystery movie’ on November 27th 2013 and since doing so fans have been speculating as to whether it would be a sequel (like The Incredibles 2) or an entirely new story.

What are your thoughts? Could the November 2013 mystery release in fact be Toy Story 4?

Toy Story 4 on the Way? Tom Hanks Says “Yes” is a post from: The Inquisitr

You know the golden rule of game-movie tie-ins by now: if it’s a game based on a movie, it’s probably crap. There are obvious exceptions, but that law generally holds fast.

In other words, my hopes weren’t high for this Toy Story 3: The Video Game trailer, and for the first eighteen seconds of this trailer, my expectations were met: this was another pretty but vapid 3D platformer.

But then we’re shown ‘Toy Box’ mode, which appears to be Pixar-does-LittleBigPlanet. Judging from this, players can create and customise their own levels using a range of props, characters, settings, and scenery from the Toy Story universe. There seems to be some pretty decent physics at work. This … might have potential.

The key, of course, lies with how customisable the user-created content actually is, and also whether Disney will allow players to upload their creations, which is what really made LittleBigPlanet something special.

I suspect Disney/Pixar will be cautious about this – after all, most of the user-generated LittleBigPlanet levels contain machines and scenery designed to look like willies, and schlongs are the last thing they want Toy Story to be associated with. If Disney and Pixar can work out some reasonable way to moderate uploaded content, this might be a genuinely worthwhile companion to the movie.

Or it could just be another shitty platformer with a half-baked build-a-level mode slung in. Could go either way, really. Here’s the trailer:

Pixar has released the first teaser trailer Toy Story 3.

Still 12 months away from being released, the Toy Story 3 trailer is a real teaser, in that it actually provides no information about the movie. Instead, we get reintroduced to the main characters from the previous two films.

Details of the story line are a little thin, with the only synopsis reading “Woody, Buzz, and the rest of their toy-box friends are dropped off at a day-care center after their owner, Andy, who is fond of his toys, departs for college.”

Toy Story 3 is due out June 18, 2010.
