Toy Story 4 to Be a Romantic Comedy
Toy Story 4” will not take up where the third movie left off, so it won’t look like a traditional sequel, and it will be a romantic comedy, says Pixar President Jim Morris.
“The third movie was over in a beautiful way and completed a trilogy. I think this movie is not part of [that] trilogy,"
Morris told Disney Latino. "We are putting together a very nice story. It is not a continuation of the end of the story of 'Toy Story 3.' Temporarily it is, but it will be a love story. It will be a romantic comedy. It will not make much focus on the interaction between the characters and children. I think it will be a very good movie."
The movie, which won’t be out for two years, was announced last year and at the time, director John Lasseter said also said he was happy about what would be a new direction for "Toy Story."
"'Toy Story 3' ended Woody and Buzz's story with Andy so perfectly that for a long time, we never even talked about doing another 'Toy Story' movie," Lasseter said in a statement. "But when Andrew [Stanton], Pete [Docter], Lee [Unkrich] and I came up with this new idea, I just could not stop thinking about it. It was so exciting to me, I knew we had to make this movie — and I wanted to direct it myself."
