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.
If they left her looking similar to Toy Story 1 & 2 (which could have been possible) it would be awesome as we get the original looking Bo Peep with the badass personality she has. But because TS1 and TS2 are so old, Bo Peep's appearance needed to match the updated animation and technology Pixar has today.
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 ...
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.
Indeed, the most notable changes were the eyes, which had been tweaked to appear even more lifelike, and the hair was animated for a more realistic effect (this is one of the key areas of animation Disney and Pixar has greatly improved over the last 20 years).
Why Does Andy Look Different In The Toy Story 4 Trailer? A Pixar Theory!
Will there be a Toy Story 5?
again. Disney has announced a return to the world of Woody and Buzz in Toy Story 5. 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.
It's revealed in the animated series that Andy's mom's last name is Davis, but also Emily's last name isn't revealed. So, in theory, both Jessie's owner and Andy's mom are named Emily Davis. While what happened to Andy's dad remains a mystery, Andy's mom's name could have secretly been answered.
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.
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.
There's a lot of differing opinions over how old Andy is in each of the Toy Story installments, but it's confirmed that he turns six years old at the start of Toy Story. The movie opens with his birthday party, which is when he receives Buzz Lightyear, and the Toy Story script clearly states he is six.
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.
Potato Head appeared in Toy Story 4 (2019). However, Rickles died in 2017 due to kidney failure, and did not record any lines for him for the film. With permission from Rickles's family, Pixar used unreleased lines that Rickles recorded in previous Toy Story films for his final performance as the character.
Legendary comedian Don Rickles voiced Mr. Potato Head since the first Toy Story movie, and he was slated to reprise his role in Toy Story 4. Sadly, Rickles passed away in April 2017, before he could record any lines for the movie, but the team behind Toy Story 4 found a way to make him a part of the movie.
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 ...
Toy Story 3 3D is a quality animated adventure movie. It is likely to be enjoyed by most of the family, although it is darker and more scary than previous Toy Story movies. This is why it's not recommended for children under five.
The brothers say they had to re-shoot some of the scenes they filmed early on because the two had become much more skilled with their work. And coincidentally the brothers had to switch on and off filming because they were attending college and no longer had as much time for their toys.
There's very little in the way of love and compassion, and LOTS in the way of 90's cynicism. Avoid this one for pre-elementary kids, and wait until they're older if you feel like you need to watch. Recommended alternative: "Monsters, Inc." -- a much sweeter story with good-hearted characters and a positive message.
Summaries. While Andy's mother is admitted to a psychiatric hospital, the young boy is placed in foster care, and Chucky, determined to claim Andy's soul, is not far behind.
Andy freaked out but eventually took the time to listen to Elena explain that she didn't want to have a child and while she loved Andy, she didn't want to have to stop being a firefighter just because she was a mother.
On February 8, 2023, Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that Frozen 3 is in the works, along with Toy Story 5 and Zootopia 2. While news of a third Frozen film was a welcome one, we have yet to hear more details about the movie or see a trailer. Here's everything we know about Frozen 3.
Toy Story 5 was announced to happen in February 2023, with Tim Allen confirming his return as the voice of Buzz Lightyear and Pete Docter confirming in June 2023 that Woody will also return for this new adventure.
Though Toy Story 4 concludes by showing an excited Woody ready to explore a new chapter in his life, this ending is not as happy as the final scene would lead fans to believe. Over the Toy Story franchise's decades-long run, the series has consistently defined the purpose of a toy.
