Pixar President Jim Morris told Disney Latino that “‘Toy Story 4’ won’t be a continuation of ‘Toy Story 3.'”
“The third movie was over in a beautiful way and completed a trilogy. I think this movie is not part of [that] trilogy,” Morris said of the new film, which is slated for a 2017 release.
“Temporarily it is, but it will be a love story,” Morris explained. “It will be a romantic comedy. The interaction between the characters and the children won’t be the main focus of the film. I think it’s going to be a great movie.”
According to Morris, Pixar wasn’t planning on making any more “Toy Story” films, but the idea for the sequel came during a brainstorming session and it was too good to pass up.
Director John Lasseter announced in November that “Toy Story 4” was in the works. Actors Rashida Jones and Will McCormack will co-write the script with Lasseter, Andrew Stanton and Pete Docter.
