Toy Story 4 skrevs i hemlighet innan trean släpptes

Pixar har tidigare uttalat sig om att Toy Story 3 blir det definitiva slutet för de datoranimerade leksakerna, men så blev det ju givetvis inte - nyligen mottogs den väl av amerikanska kritiker efter sin USA-premiär (vi i Sverige får snällt vänta fram till 30 augusti). Nu avslöjar dessutom den aktuelle Toy Story 4-regissören via en intervju med ComingSoon att Pixar-veteranen Andrew Stanton filade på en uppföljare medan den tredje färdigställdes:

"Andrew Stanton one of the writers, who's written on all the Toy Story films, one of the godfathers of Toy Story, he actually started the outline for number 4 while 3 was still finishing, and but he kept it secret. We didn't know, I'm speaking for all of us."

<em>"That started to light us up a little bit, and slowly, we started to crack that open and go, 'What would happen if Woody did everything right, he survived it all, he landed on his feet with Bonnie.' And what we realized in that discussion was the end of 3 is really the end of Andy's story, but the story of Toy Story is Woody... Now that I'm saying it, I'm realizing Andrew's kids had gone off to college and moved out. So there's definitely some of that in there. Like, what do you do when you've done everything right and your life's not over? You have to reinvent yourself. And that was kind of the crack in the nerve, like okay, how would Woody do that? That was interesting to us."

Cooley menade vidare att porslindockan Bo Peeps återkomst alltid var en del av planen:

"It had Bo returning. That was pretty much it. It wasn't until after you work on it for a while, you start to understand this is what the movie's telling me it should be, and also that's me in the movie as well. So it's not like Andrew sat down, 'I'm going to tell a story about being an empty nester,' he just sat down like, 'What if Bo Peep came back?' That was it."

Manuset blev till slut skriven av Stanton och Stephany Folsom, och resten är historia. Längtar du efter Toy Story 4?
