Toy Story 4 Official for 2017!

Oh my God. Really?

Premise

First off, I’ll let you guys know that I’m trying out this new format that I’ll use for News Announcements and Spoiler-Filled reviews, it’s just a test for right now.
Second: have you guys heard this!?
It was announced today that Toy Story 4 is officially happening, and John Lasseter, the chief of PIXAR, will direct it, due out in June 2017.

My General Take

I’m not really sure how to feel about this!
Toy Story 3 is the Best Animated Film ever made, in my opinion, it ranks at about 10 or 11 on my Top Films ever, and the first two aren’t that far behind it.
I’m not saying I have no faith in the PIXAR team, I’m just saying that I don’t want them to mess up thousands of children’s childhoods.
When you make one of the greatest trilogies ever, inspiring thousands, you don’t want to do a fourth one and end up jumping the shark (ask Indiana Jones).
That being said, I couldn’t be happier that this is happening!
- The Toy Story Trilogy was amazing, and I’m sure that the fourth will be fine, but I do have some reservations, seeing as how sacred these films are in the animated universe.

In Conclusion

I think PIXAR will probably do really well making this movie, I just hope it isn’t a desperate attempt to win the animated crown back from Disney.
PIXAR has produced an absurd amount of GREAT movies, and I’m interested in seeing where Toy Story 3 goes, and if I’m being an optimist, I hope it can live past the first two, and Toy Story 3, one of my favorite films.
