Update: Pixar and John Lassester probably don't = King Midas

But what if it's, yknow, good?

I almost forgot to say Lassester that...

Quote:

The story was conceived, however, by the Pixar brain trust: Lasseter, Finding Nemo‘s Andrew Stanton, Up and Monsters Inc.‘s Pete Docter, and Toy Story 3‘s Lee Unkrich

Fans reacted to the news with what can only be described as uncertainty, taking to Twitter to wring their hands in worry. Most people, including many within Pixar, felt Toy Story 3 was a perfect close to a beloved trilogy, and are hesitant about anything that might sully that legacy.

In a statement, Lasseter tried to calm those nerves: “We love these characters so much, they are like family to us,” he wrote. “We don’t want to do anything with them unless it lives up to or surpasses what’s gone before.”

He acknowledged that 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. But when Andrew, Pete, Lee 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.”

We'll see about that.

"are hesitant about anything that might sully that legacy."

That's a clue!

Yeah yeah yeah I'll only be happy with this sequel if they bring back Bo Peep.

I just use to look forward to their new movies, but they've all been ho-hum lately. They're all sequels of the previous 10 years.

Where are the Wall-E or Up? Those are brilliant films.

Even Bug's Life put an interesting spin on the genre.

Cars 2 was terrible.

I mean it was entertaining, but I expect so much from them.

I read this while I was taking time away from BWW and it's comforting to know.

Quote:

"Talking about plans for the already hotly anticipated Toy Story 4, Pixar president Jim Morris said in an interview with Disney Latino that the upcoming sequel will not just be picking up where Toy Story 3 left off and going from there.

"It is not a continuation of the end of the story of Toy Story 3," Morris said, per Slash Film. "Temporarily it is, but it will be a love story. It will be a romantic comedy. It will not put much focus on the interaction between the characters and children. I think it will be a very good movie."

Toy Story 4 Will Be a 'Romantic Comedy' and a 'Separate Story' From Original Trilogy
