Your heart might not be ready, but Disney’s Pixar is. The animation studio has released a new teaser trailer for Toy Story 4, the highly anticipated fourth chapter in an ongoing saga about how much our toys love us and the lengths they will go to to prove that love. The trailer debuted Sunday, during Super Bowl 53. Last we saw Woody and Buzz and their fellow toys in 2010’s Toy Story 3, Andy (their owner) was headed to college — which led to an existential crisis of sorts for Andy’s toys. In the end, Andy gave the beloved toys to a new child, Bonnie, to take care of them. And in the interim, during a stint at Sunnyside Daycare that made up most of the film’s action, the toys (with the help of Woody and Buzz) overthrew Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear’s cruel regime and made the day care a better place for all toys. In the new Toy Story 4 trailer, there’s no sign of Bonnie or Sunnyside Daycare. Instead, Woody and Bo Peep (who makes her triumphant return in this movie) are at a carnival looking for Buzz, who said he would meet them there. Buzz finds himself literally tied up at the moment; he not only becomes a prize at one of the carnival games but also finds himself tormented by two new characters (above), voiced by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele. It’s a very brief teaser, and it’s unclear how much of this sequence will appear in the movie. (For a longer look at Key and Peele’s new characters, recall this promotional teaser from the fall, in which they spoof their popular valet sketches from their late, beloved Comedy Central series Key & Peele.) Details about Toy Story 4 remain scarce. We know that a few new toys will be introduced, voiced by Tony Hale, Peele, and Key. But we don’t know what these toys’ relationships will be to the main cast, or what their intentions are (yet). A teaser trailer released in November just featured characters’ faces. And while the movie doesn’t come out until June, the buzz surrounding it seems to indicate that it could be the final chapter in the Toy Story franchise. At the end of January, Tom Hanks, who plays Woody, tweeted what seemed like a thank-you and goodbye — seemingly as he wrapped up his voice work on the film — about how the cast and crew “rode like the wind, to infinity and beyond”: Final line, final session as Woody of Toy Story 4. We rode like the wind, to infinity and beyond. Hanx pic.twitter.com/v87ZYNyzx8 — Tom Hanks (@tomhanks) January 30, 2019 Just a few hours later, Tim Allen (who voices Buzz Lightyear) tweeted about how finishing his work on the film made him emotional: Finished my Buzz for Toy Story 4 today and it got emotional. Wonderful full body story. You are all going to love the work this incredible team at Pixar created. We are all going to love this story....man its got everything. — Tim Allen (@ofctimallen) January 31, 2019 Given the feelings that the Toy Story movies and Pixar are known for, this latest chapter and possible goodbye to our favorite toys will undoubtedly be emotional for fans, too. Toy Story 4 will open in theaters on June 21, 2019.<doc-sep>A new teaser trailer has been unveiled for Toy Story 4. The 30-second clip, which aired during the 2019 Super Bowl on Sunday, features Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), Bo Peep (Annie Potts), as well as Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) – with the latter in a difficult situation. At the start of the video, Woody and Bo can be seen wondering where Buzz has gone, as he was supposed to meet them but has evidently failed to show up. It is then revealed that the toy Space Ranger is currently stuck at a fair stand, among other toys offered as prizes to children. Buzz gets taunted by a duo of stuffed animals apparently miffed that the Space Ranger has taken their “top prize spot”.

Tom Petty’s performance is often omitted from rankings of the best Super Bowl halftime shows, but we’re including it here because he absolutely crushed it. Kicking things off with “American Girl”, he followed it up with “Won’t Back Down”, “Full Moon Fever” and the emotional “Free Fallin’”, rounding off with a stirring rendition of “Runnin’ Down a Dream”. AFP/Getty Images The 10 greatest Super Bowl performances, ranked U2 – 2002 U2 had the unenviable task of trying to raise everyone’s spirits just six months after the 9/11 attacks, but they did an admirable job, with performances of uplifting tracks like “Beautiful Day”. AFP/Getty Images The 10 greatest Super Bowl performances, ranked Paul McCartney – 2005 McCartney preceded the pop stars trying to outdo one another with extravagant stage designs and lavish costumes. Instead, he offered four beautifully played songs, of which the final one, “Hey Jude”, prompted an epic singalong with the crowd at Jacksonville’s EverBank Field Stadium. AFP/Getty Images The 10 greatest Super Bowl performances, ranked Madonna – 2012 One of the few to outdo Katy Perry’s 2015 entrance was Madonna, three years earlier, who appeared on a giant golden chariot led by about a hundred buff men dressed as Roman soldiers. She brought out Nicki Minaj and MIA for “Give Me All Your Luvin’” and also performed hits “Like a Prayer”, “Music” and “Express Yourself”. AFP/Getty Images The 10 greatest Super Bowl performances, ranked Katy Perry – 2015 There are few entrances as grand as standing on top of a giant golden lion with glowing eyes. Katy Perry went all out for her halftime show in 2015 with performances of “Roar”, “Dark Horse”, “California Gurls”, “Firework” and “Teenage Dream”. And who can forget the notorious Left Shark and his poor coordination?

Springsteen’s 12-minute set started out with “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” and also included “Born to Run”, “Glory Days” and “Working on a Dream”. Getty Images The 10 greatest Super Bowl performances, ranked Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake – 2004 Janet Jackson delivered a blistering, brilliantly choreographed show that ended with “Rock Your Body”. But the moment Justin Timberlake ripped away her costume, and exposed her breast for approximately half a second, overshadowed all of that. The incident, dubbed “nipplegate”, even inspired the creation of YouTube. Jackson was turned into a scapegoat for the ensuing controversy, while Timberlake didn’t receive anywhere near as much scrutiny. AFP/Getty Images The 10 greatest Super Bowl performances, ranked Lady Gaga – 2017 One of the most outlandish halftime shows in recent memory, Lady Gaga began her performance by hurtling herself from the top of the stadium (attached to a harness, of course) – sparking a thousand memes. Once safely on the ground, she thrilled audiences with her biggest hits: “Poker Face”, “Born This Way”, “Telephone”, “Just Dance”, “Million Reasons” and “Bad Romance”. Getty Images The 10 greatest Super Bowl performances, ranked Beyonce – 2013 Beyonce basically ties with Prince for the greatest all-time Super Bowl performance. It was bold, it was fierce, it was virtually flawless. Bursting onto the stage with “Crazy in Love” after an a capella “Love on Top”, she threw down some of her best dance moves, before moving on to other hits including “End of Time” and “Baby Boy”. Lastly, there was a hysteria-inducing Destiny’s Child reunion with Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland – a performance so powerful, the lights at the stadium cut out when it ended.

Of course, the Purple One wasn’t responsible for the rain that began to pour during his hair-raising 12-minute performance, which included covers of “We Will Rock You” and “All Along the Watchtower”. But the timing was so perfect, you wanted to believe he was. Following renditions of “1999/Baby I’m a Star”, Prince closed on “Purple Rain” in what has to be ranked among one of his greatest live performances of that song. Getty Images When Buzz asks one of the stuffed toys to help him out, the toy responds: “I’ll help you... with my foot!” The toy then distorts Buzz’s famous catchphrase, adding as he whacks Buzz in the head: “To infinity and... my foot!” Buzz eventually sticks the toy’s foot in his space helmet, getting the upper hand.

READ MORE: 20 Things You Might Not Know About Toy Story The Annie Potts-voiced character was noticeably absent from the last film, Toy Story 3 (2010), but makes a welcome return to the movie franchise for its final instalment this June. “Bo’s taken control of her own destiny,” Toy Story 4 director Josh Cooley said in a press release. “While Woody was watching Andy grow up, Bo gathered dust until she took it upon herself to head out into the world. And when Woody shows up, they can’t believe that they’ve found each other again.” Advertisement Bo, who last featured in Toy Story 2 (1999), is back with a new look. Her sheepherding attire – formerly a white dress – is now baby blue jumpsuit. In the accompanying teaser, she bursts through a screen, swinging from her shepherd’s crook as she greets Buzz and Woody. The synopsis for the forthcoming movie reads: “Woody has always been confident about his place in the world and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. But when Bonnie adds a reluctant new toy called ‘Forky’ to her room, a road trip adventure alongside old and new friends will show Woody how big the world can be for a toy.” Forky was unveiled as a new character in the first trailer clip released in November 2018. The next day, Pixar shared another clip which introduced two other new faces: Ducky and Bunny. Advertisement Meanwhile, Tom Hanks has revealed how emotional his Woody vocal takes were in the final weeks of recording. Toy Story 4 is released in UK cinemas on June 21.<doc-sep>After sitting out the last installment, Bo Peep is back for Toy Story 4. Disney and Pixar have officially revealed that Annie Potts is back with a brief teaser video and a character poster. We've seen some leaked promotional material that showed off the character, but this is our best look yet. In addition to the new teaser and poster, Disney and Pixar have shed a little more light on the highly anticipated sequel and it seems that Bo is back and tougher than ever. Bo Peep is the long-lost friend of Woody, Buzz, and the gang, but she has always shared a special connection with Woody. However, they have not seen each other in years, and Bo has become chipped and faded over time. Bo's strength and sarcasm always belied her delicate porcelain exterior, and it turns out she's an adventure-seeking free spirit who feels right at home on the road. Toy Story 4 will show that she and Woody have reunited under unlikely circumstances and they begin to realize they've grown apart when it comes to life as a toy. It has been teased that the movie will include a love story, but this seems like it won't be that simple. Both Tom Hanks and Tim Allen have praised Toy Story 4, noting how emotional the sequel really is. But both actors never went into details or described where their characters are at this stage in the game. Annie Potts took some time to discuss Bo Peep and says, "She is modern, independent, capable, and confident." Potts went on to say that "Bo is written and conceived to be inspiring as she has weathered life's ups and downs with grace. I aspire to that." Toy Story 4 director Josh Cooley talked about some of the differences between Woody and Bo Peep. He explains. "Bo's taken control of her own destiny. While Woody was watching Andy grow up, Bo gathered dust until she took it upon herself to head out into the world. And when Woody shows up, they can't believe that they've found each other again." In the Toy Story franchise, Woody has always been confident about his place in the world. His priority is taking care of his kid, whether that's Andy or Bonnie. In Toy Story 4, Bonnie brings in her new craft-project-turned-toy Forky, and he quickly declares himself to be "trash" and not a toy, which makes Woody take the time to show Forky why he should embrace being a toy. Things take an unexpected turn when Bonnie takes the whole gang on her family's road trip excursion, and Woody ends up on a detour that includes a reunion with his long-lost friend Bo Peep. Bo Peep has a new attitude about her life as a toy when she and Woody meet up again in Toy Story 4, and things aren't always what they seem. As for how the two are reunited, it has been rumored that a store for old toys may be the place and it just might include Keanu Reeves' new John Wick-style toy allegedly named Duke Kaboom. Things sound like they're going to be pretty different this time around for Woody and the gang. You can watch the brief teaser below, thanks to the Toy Story Facebook page.<doc-sep>
Toy Story will be back on screens in 2019. A fourth film is set to arrive after nearly a nine-year gap since Toy Story 3, and more than two decades after the original, which was released in 1995. Here’s everything we know about the highly anticipated Pixar sequel. Who’s in the cast? Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack will all return as the voices of Woody, Buzz, and Jessie. New characters for the film are Forky (Tony Hale), Ducky (Keegan-Michael Key) and Bunny (Jordan Peele). Ant-Man and the Wasp's Madeleine McGraw will also voice Bonnie, who was introduced in 2010's Toy Story 3. Don Rickles, the voice of Mr Potato Head, died in 2017 and did not record any lines for the sequel. Although a teaser has confirmed the character’s return, there has been no confirmation on whether a new actor was cast in the role. Tim Allen revealed Keanu Reeves has a very small role in the sequel, adding: “Keanu Reeves has got a great part. Actually, a little inside story, even [Reeves] said — gentle, wonderful guy that he is — ‘This sounds too much like Buzz Lightyear.’ And his character does have an edge to that. And the guy said, ‘So we calmed him down a little bit,’ and they reminded me his toy is only that big.” Films to look out for in 2019 Show all 15 1 /15 Films to look out for in 2019 Films to look out for in 2019 Sony Pictures Films to look out for in 2019 Films to look out for in 2019 The Lion King Disney Films to look out for in 2019 Disney/Pixar Films to look out for in 2019 YouTube Films to look out for in 2019 Films to look out for in 2019 A24 Films to look out for in 2019 Films to look out for in 2019 Films to look out for in 2019 Films to look out for in 2019 Films to look out for in 2019 Films to look out for in 2019 Annapurna Pictures Films to look out for in 2019 Films to look out for in 2019 The film will also feature the return of Bo Peep, voiced by Annie Potts, who was notably absent from Toy Story 3. As one of the toys that Andy didn’t gift to Bonnie before he left for college, Bo has spent years on her own, and it appears the experience has changed her. Director Josh Cooley told E! News: “Bo’s taken control of her own destiny. While Woody was watching Andy grow up, Bo gathered dust until she took it upon herself to head out into the world. And when Woody shows up, they can’t believe that they’ve found each other again.” What’s the plot? The official synopsis for the film reads: “Woody has always been confident about his place in the world and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. But when Bonnie adds a reluctant new toy called ‘Forky’ to her room, a road trip adventure alongside old and new friends will show Woody how big the world can be for a toy.” Hanks teased the climax of the film as a “moment in history“, adding: “The way you record Toy Story, you’re in a room with the team that has created it. When I went in for my last day of recording, I wanted to have my back to them, because usually, you’re facing him so he can look right up and you can talk about it. But I didn’t want to see them and pretend they couldn’t see me.” Are there any trailers?
