IMO not enough people are praising Josh Cooley specifically. For a first time director (and yes generally first time directors on Pixar will receive more internal help than other first timers) this is very good looking film and all the action scenes are staged really well. Also have to remember the amount of production troubles this film had (seems par for the course with a Toy Story film) with regards to Lasseter intially going to direct it with Rashida Jones leaving and having to push the film back it's a semi miracle it turned out to be this good. Also good to see someone else other than the OG Pixar directors (which I include Bird and Unkrich in) deliver since that's partly why I think Pixar haven't been nearly as good as they were in the early 2000s since the next generation of directors haven't been as good.

https://animationinsider1.blogspot.com/2019/06/bonus-zootopia-sequel-details-and-more.html?m=1 A sequel to the 2016 hit film Zootopia has been in development since early this year, I'm hearing the sequel will take place after the events of the first film and will focus on a new threat in the city of Zootopia. The movie will have Byron Howard as the sole director and will have new writers. The film is in it's very early stages of development with only seven drafts completed. Disney hopes to have the movie ready for a November 2022 release.

I feel now every Toy Story sequel will be a case of rush and roulette in terms of whether this will be the one to bring down the franchise. The biggest factor in another sequel is getting the original actors. I wouldn't be opposed to a spin-off in the same universe though.

I think the only other recent WDAS they would consider giving sequels to are Zootopia and Moana. The other ones all have tv shows now.

Saw it a 2nd time and liked it even more. Hopefully it can reach $1 Billion but hard to feel too bad for this film's Box Office despite an underperformance on its OW when it's still a huge success (assuming good legs of course).

If it's gonna get to $1 Billion it'll be a slow crawl towards it. Would also probably need DOM to reach at least $400M DOM which is possible but with FFH and especially TLK looming might be difficult.

Aladdin sequel would definitely be something Disney is discussing now. I haven't seen any of the DTV Aladdin sequels are they any good?

Yep exactly just not have a massive increase compared to its predecessor's OW.

Toy Story 4's OW performance probably would reflect what type of performance we could expect if they ever do a Finding Nemo 3 or Incredibles 3.

1. Inside Out 2. Toy Story 3 3. Toy Story 4 4. Coco 5. Incredibles 2 6. Finding Dory 7. Monsters University 8. Cars 3 9. The Good Dinosaur 10. Brave 11. Cars 2 Hope Pixar returns to greatness in the 2020s they've definitely been outshone by Disney Animation quality wise this decade.

I know it's a joke but honestly Disney's lack of Memorial Day release successes had always helped their June Pixar films seeing as it's usually the next big event after the May MCU Film. Aladdin doing so well must have had an effect on Toy Story 4.

The worst part of seeing Toy Story 4 was being exposed to that Uglydolls trailer since it's apparently not out in Australia yet....

Look Captain Marvel is not a sequel but at the same time it doesn't really refute @VENOM's point does it? Anyways next year we'll have 2 Pixar originals and most likely 1 WDAS original.

I think for the ending to work on the level of Toy Story 3 they really needed more development with Buzz and the gang (the whole "inner voice" gag with Buzz was done for jokes only). But I didn't see it as Woody running off just cause of self esteem issues but finding a new purpose in his life because he didn't feel satisfied or helpful. It's not about him not being the favourite toy anymore it's that his whole life has been about this one purpose but this is the first time he's actually stopped to think about whether that's the only thing he wants and whether he's actually actively fulfilling that purpose or not. I also think Buzz would rather Woody be happy and content with his life than try to fake being ok with where he is in his life. Also let's be honest the only way they were gonna even get close to the impact of Andy leaving Woody was separating Woody and Buzz thus closing out the two major threads of the entire series (certainly the first movie at least).

It's really good even if there's too much going on at times. But definitely glad this one exists and will probably be used as an example of why continuing a story past its initial ending can work sometimes.

Damn seems like even Toy Story 4 couldn't escape the this summer's poor box office. Though again considering how other sequels this summer have outright bombed or vastly under-performed not sure this one particularly belongs in that category. Being the 4th (and last?) also helps expectations seeing as I don't think Disney was expecting this to set up future films or anything unlike say SLOP 2. Also rather odd to be saying this film is proof that unwanted sequels are being rejected when this whole summer has been littered with them.

Well guess down to the MCU to save the box office again

I just edited my comment seeing RTH's number. True Friday would be disappointing no denying that.

Disney just be glad that Toy Story is remaining one of the biggest franchise and not tanking like at least three other franchises have this summer. Still though yeah RTH's number would be disappointing in terms of frontloadedness.

Yeah with Aladdin's chances of $1 Billion looking better and better there is a possibility it outgrosses Toy Story 4 WW.

Must be a rough year then

I'll be a tad disappointed with "only" $120M only cause it'll make $500M DOM final total difficult. But yeah Disney definitely will take this massive win with all the other tentpole failures this summer. It's gonna outgross Shrek the Third by around $100M anyways so not sure why everyone is dredging up the fact it may make less than that film on OW.

The notion of a Toy Story sequel isn't as impressive anymore seeing as we've had two already while sequels to both Finding Nemo and The Incredibles had a novelty factor to them.

It's funny cause the Cameron stans were very happy with the idea of Avatar getting a rerelease when Avatar 2 comes out when it looked like Endgame was going to beat Avatar but now aren't happy that Endgame is getting an expansion of its screenings while still in theatres. If people don't think it's worth going again for the extra stuff at the end then they won't go.
