It would become a tiny people movie, as opposed to a Toy Story film. ![]() But it was clear that it couldn't just be that. We've got to give it everything we've got to make sure it's worthy." We had that level of commitment really from everybody on the crew, from story right on down to rendering.ĬOOLEY: Woody and Bo have this relationship from the previous films, and so there's definitely an element of that. Everyone was like, "If we're doing this, it has to be great. NIELSEN: There is such a deep love within this studio for these characters. So, we just do our best to do what we would want to see. And some of the people working on this movie have said, "The first movie I saw was Toy Story, so I don't want to mess it up!" That's what we want! So, it's a real mix of veterans and newer people that feel the same sense of responsibility for it. We just take a tremendous amount of pride in it. We just think about them as movies, and we try to make it that everyone will enjoy them.īecause that's the kind of movies we grew up seeing. ![]() It's core to everything at this studio, so I'll echo Josh that we've never really thought about these as movies for kids. Half of my life has been with these characters, so we feel a tremendous sense of responsibility for 'em. JONAS RIVERA: The three of us grew up here, basically. We wanted to make sure we were carrying this story forward in the right way. From Day 1, we were like, "This is really important and we want to make sure we're doing right by the characters and doing right by the fans and the audiences." And we're the biggest fans, as well. All of our films here we try to make for everybody, but I know there's a deep love for Toy Story, and we didn't take that lightly at all. What does it mean to you to make an audience for such a wide audience? On one side, you have kids and on the other side, you have people who were themselves kids when they saw the first movie and have been following the franchise for all these years.ĬOOLEY: It's a big responsibility. And the idea of them coming back together after not seeing each other for nine years, and what's become of her, was something we thought was really worth exploring. This movie has been code-named "Peep" here within the walls for the whole four years we've been making it, because we knew she was such an important character in this one. MARK NIELSEN: The idea of Bo Peep was so intriguing to us. Once we started going down a path and started realizing, "Oh, there is more to tell for Woody," we just kept going and we hit upon something that was worth telling. We realized there was more story to tell to continue Woody's story. It ends Woody and Andy's story perfectly. JOSH COOLEY: That's the question of all questions.

"He plays a major role in this film, but you won't be seeing all of that today." "The other caveat is you're not going to see a ton of Buzz Lightyear in these clips," Cooley added about Tim Allen's beloved space ranger. ![]() "It will look amazing, way better than this, it will all sound great with Randy Newman's score at the end of the day." Cooley (who previously scripted Inside Out ) added this disclaimer before screening a selection of footage from the film, some of which was still in progress.
