No, there’s no Toy Story 4 in the works right now, although there are always faint rumors. My question to fans of the franchise is this: What would you like Toy Story 4 to consist of, if anything? I was recently watching the third installment again with my kids, and a few ideas popped out at me as possibilities: 1. Continue the story of Woody, Buzz and the gang with Bonnie. Same characters, same lead(s), a few new characters from Bonnie’s toybox. Having to adjust to life as the toys of a girl. 2. Next generation of toys with Andy’s son/daughter. All new cast of characters. 3. Another look into the “re-organized” Sunnydale Day Care, minus Lotsa; maybe with a reunion of Andy’s/Bonnie’s toys and the Sunnydale gang. Similar cast, with new leads, and maybe a few cameos and supporting roles from the old characters. 4. Something else altogether 5. No more sequels! I’ll be posting a poll in a sec… ---

This is one of the few trilogies in cinema history without a sour note - all three movies are stellar. And I think TS3 ended on an absolutely perfect note. I say, leave that world alone now. No more sequels. The story is complete. I would not be opposed to occasional short films with Bonnie’s toys in front of other Pixar releases though. ---

Leave it be. The story comes around full circle and ends cleanly. I don’t need them going on any quests for crystal skulls or find out the toys are powered by fucking midichlorians. ---

> [@Skammer](#): > > This is one of the few trilogies in cinema history without a sour note - all three movies are stellar. And I think TS3 ended on an absolutely perfect note. That was exactly my reaction, as well. Of course, it was also my reaction after _Toy Story_ and _Toy Story 2_, so what do I know? ---

Yep. _Toy Story 4_ would probably be\* Woody and Buzz save Christmas\*. No thanks. ---

The word “perfect” originally had a sense of completion, that something had exactly as much as it ought to. This is an apt description of the Toy Story movies: They are perfectly complete. That said, there are a few shorts set at Bonnie’s house-- They’re fine, so long as they don’t try to reach for the bigger storyline. ---

Why not? The first three are great fun, and my kid loves them. Worst case scenario, the fourth one blows. Guess what? The three original movies would still exist. Godfather III does not negate a single iota of my enjoyment of the first two installments. I never get the hate for sequels that suck. With the possible exception of Alien III which sort of ruined Alien by telling us that Newt, the entire purpose of Aliens, died en route the sequels don’t affect my enjoyment of the original regardless of the quality. ---

> [@bup](#): > > Yep. _Toy Story 4_ would probably be\* Woody and Buzz save Christmas\*. No thanks. Yeah, I can picture the schmaltz now. Woody loses his trademark hat and wants to go to the factory where they’re made, only to find out that they no longer make them anymore. He finds a mint-in-box Woody with all new accessories but that toy is too proud to ever be opened. Then insert a Gift-of-the-Magi-twist where both Woodys give up something to become whole again. ---

I liked some of the Sunnydale toys, especially Ken. I wouldn’t mind seeing, if not a movie, maybe another short? ---

Or, the gang finds a 3D copier and excitedly tell Woody that he can now have as many copies of the hat as he likes. Then Hamm realizes that hats are not the only thing they can copy.

I thought 3 was a severe dip in quality as compared to 1 and 2. So I say no more. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/toy-story-sequel-opinion/673737.md?page=2)
