Andy as he appears in Toy Story 3 in a flashback as a child. In Toy Story 3, Andy is now 17 years old (as said by Potato Head) and is now moving out to college as his slightly aged mother asks him what he will do with his toys.
Andy isn't part of Toy Story 4 in the current timeline, he only appears in old footage from the past at the beginning of the movie when it shows how Bo Peep was taken away and he also appears during the “You've Got A Friend In Me" title sequence as a kid from the earlier films and then as a teenager from the end of Toy ...
Summary. Toy Story 5 is confirmed, and Woody and Buzz will return, with the possibility of Andy making a comeback with his new family. Some fans reject the idea of Andy returning, as they believe Toy Story 3 served as a fitting farewell for the character.
Synopsis. Andy Davis (voice: John Morris) is 17 years old, and is heading off to college in a few days. The fact that Andy has grown from a young boy to a teenager about to leave home has not been lost on his toys.
Andy is one of the foundational characters of the Toy Story franchise, with his relationship with Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang being at the heart of the franchise's first three films. However, the events of Toy Story 3 required Andy to not appear in Toy Story 4, with his absence really being felt.
The most recent Toy Story 5 news has had a mixed reception, as Pixar's chief creative officer Pete Docter has confirmed that Woody and Buzz are returning for Toy Story 5.
Not only have the animators taken advantage of the ostensible improvements in digital animation since 2010, but it appears the animators have used the Toy Story 3 version of Andy as the template from which to de-age him back down to a young boy.
Andy, now 17 years old, is preparing to leave for college. He has not played with his toys for years, and only Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Bullseye, Rex, Slinky, Hamm, Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, the Aliens, and three toy soldiers remain.
It's got some really cool stuff that you haven't seen before.” We're pretty sure we can expect some new toys, as each film has done before. Additionally, it's expected that Buzz and Woody will be reunited, though they bid goodbye to one another in Toy Story 4.
Allen, who has voiced Buzz Lightyear in the past four animated featured films said that the studio has reached out to him and co-star Tom Hanks, who voices Woody, to return. “Bob Iger, head of Disney, said it was on,” Allen said while making an appearance on The Tonight Show Tuesday night.
Assuming that Toy Story 5 follows the same development schedule as its predecessors, we won't see it until anywhere between 2026 and 2028. That'll be about seven to nine years from the last film.
Despite harboring fears of abandonment after hearing Jessie's story, Woody eventually resolved to return to Andy's side for as long as Andy needed him. This need was fulfilled by the end of Toy Story 3.
However, Peter Docter, a Pixar director and one of the story writers of Toy Story 2, revealed that the theory is actually false (via ET Online). Docter explained that he does have a backstory for Jessie, but he's not willing to reveal what it is just yet.
A fan theory suggests that Boo from Monsters, Inc. grows up to be Andy's mom in Toy Story, but there are flaws in this theory. Pete Docter, Chief Creative Officer of Pixar, debunked the theory and explained that the Easter eggs in Pixar films are not meant to impact the storylines of other films.
Toy Story's protagonist, Woody, belonged to Andy's father first (indeed, Andy's mom calls Woody “an old family toy”). Andy's father was also named Andy—Andy Sr. —and he wrote his name on Woody's boot. The reason Woody is such a rare toy is because he's the only Woody doll that was ever made—just a prototype.
He realizes he doesn't need to be there for Bonnie the same way he was there for Andy because Bonnie has her own support system. This allows Andy to start a new chapter in his life. In the end, Woody decides to stay with Bo Peep.
Andy's dad never appears in any of the Toy Story films, and his absence is never addressed directly. Naturally, several theories have sprung up to explain that away, including some in which Andy's parents got divorced. One theory suggests that Andy's dad died prior to Toy Story 1, after a childhood battle with polio.
Toy Story 4 fills its runtime with questions of existentialism, not unlike the three films before it, but in its final moments, a purpose is determined and a course is presumably set: Woody, accepting that he'd rather explore the world with Bo Peep than be relegated to a closet by Bonnie, makes the decision to go ...
To bring some reality to the highly stylized Toy Story world, Pauley says, “We've added more complexity, more richness, to give you a sense of place and atmosphere.” To achieve that, Reeves explains, “We added dust particulate in the air… which led to visually pleasing bokeh effects.” Dust, in fact, is one of the ...
While there is no definite answer, many argue that Andy's parents must have been divorced. Following this line of thought, one theory (via Reddit) holds that Toy Story is a metaphor for Andy's mom remarrying.
Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed there would a new Toy Story sequel coming from Pixar during the 2023 year-end earnings call. It will be the sixth feature-length Toy Story movie following 2022's Lightyear and 2019's Toy Story 4.
When deciding to stay with The Lost Toys at the end of Toy Story 4, Woody dedicated his life to finding other lost toys and returning them to their owners. This storyline will have to play into the upcoming sequel, and with Tim Allen confirming his Toy Story 5 involvement, Buzz and Woody will have to meet again.
