But you can see why the film-makers might reckon it’s time for Woody and Buzz to head up to the attic after two decades of keeping us entertained.

There have also been great moments featuring the original Toy Story crew: one of my favourite shorts in the recent series is Partysaurus Rex, in which the timid dinosaur kicks off an EDM megarave in a bathtub after Bonnie takes him to meet an entirely new gang of water-based toys. These have more than held their own against the old guard, with the sartorially adaptable Ken (in Hawaiian Vacation) and Trixie the Triceratops (in Christmas special Toy Story That Time Forgot) proving particularly engaging. And Pixar has since released several bravura shorts focusing on the little girl’s playthings and other characters introduced in the most recent full-length outing. But beyond that, it sounds like Toy Story 4 will head into entirely new territory.Ī simple shift to a Bonnie-centred era had seemed the logical way forward following the events of Toy Story 3. We’re told that Bonnie’s toys, including Trixie the Triceratops and Mr Pricklepants, the enthusiastic thespian hedgehog, will feature in the new movie. The epic love story between Andy and his playthings introduced in 1995’s Toy Story pretty much came to a close in 2010’s Toy Story 3, with the teenager heading off to college after passing his childhood possessions on to neighbour Bonnie. But according to Pixar president Jim Morris, in comments made during an interview with the Disney Latino blog ( as translated by the Telegraph), the latest instalment in the most successful animated film series of all time could look very different indeed. When Disney-owned Pixar announced in November that a fourth Toy Story movie was in the works with original director John Lasseter at the helm, most assumed that meant another outing for colourful, much-loved characters such as Woody the Cowboy, Buzz Lightyear and Mr Potato Head.
