The Toy Story news I feared was sadly confirmed by various credible sources today, all of whom announced that Toy Story 4 would be swapping release dates with Incredibles 2. Now we have to wait until June 21, 2019 to see the toys again.

Toy Story Throwback: Lee Unkrich’s ‘Toy Story 3’ Formspring
We passed the two-year countdown mark for Toy Story 4 back in June – down to 20 months now – but we still have a long way to go. And since news on the upcoming sequel continues to be light these days, I thought I might as well share another of my “throwback” posts while we wait. It’s as good a time as any to reminisce about the previous Toy Story film, as we anticipate the next one and ponder what secrets its story holds for us.
I think it’s safe to say that anyone who was a part of the Toy Story fandom during the days surrounding Toy Story 3‘s release in 2010 can remember director Lee Unkrich’s account on Formspring. The now-defunct social media site’s format was strictly Q&A, and although I never had the nerve to ask him anything myself, I can remember checking often to see if he’d answered anything new. Sadly, he deleted the account – and all the goodness it contained – not too long thereafter, so I never had the chance to screencap or jot down the questions that were asked and their replies, which were fascinating to a fan like myself.
Toy Story News Roundup: ‘Toy Story 4’ Voice Work, Disney Parks Updates, and Shopping Finds
What do I do when get too busy with everyday life to keep up with my blog? Catch up with one of my News Roundup posts, of course! It’s been a hectic few weeks for me, but fortunately (or unfortunately?), Toy Story news was light anyway. Finally, though, I have several exciting things to pass along to my fellow fans…
WDW Trip Recap: Meeting Pixar at Disney Springs
Let me start out by saying that I am not usually a right-place-at-the-right-time sort of girl. More often than not, the events I’d most like to attend take place in California or New York; rarely does something occur in a location that’s convenient for me. So, when I got an exciting Twitter notification while we were on our most recent Walt Disney World vacation, I was completely blown away by our unusual turn of good fortune.
Toy Story News Roundup: Interviews, Toy Story at 20
It’s been over two weeks since I’ve published anything on this blog, and there’s a good reason for that – I’ve been at Disney World! My family and I are annual passholders, so we head to the parks as often as we can – this time it was to attend Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and to celebrate Toy Story‘s 20th anniversary with the toys themselves. We had some amazing luck while we were there that led to an unforgettable Pixar experience, which I’ll be writing about soon in a future post. But for now, I thought I’d recap the little snippets of Toy Story related news that came out while I was away.
Heart and Humor: John Lasseter at the Lyon Film Festival
This week, John Lasseter has been in Lyon, France for the Lumière Film Festival, which celebrated Pixar’s films as a part of its 2015 program. Lasseter was honored at the event with a plaque on their Wall of Filmmakers; he introduced a 20th anniversary screening of Toy Story on October 12th; and he led a masterclass and also introduced a showing of Cars on October 13th. As always, when I hear that someone from Pixar – especially John Lasseter – is going to be making public appearances, I search high and low for coverage and recaps; even more so now, since I’m always looking for any new information about Toy Story 4. The international events are the trickiest, and although I haven’t had a lot of success finding videos of the full presentations on You Tube (more may pop up in time), I did discover this fantastic interview…
