Toy Story 4 finally gets a release date for summer 2019

Disney and Pixar Animation Studios have confirmed the release date for Toy Story 4.
The fourth instalment of the Toy Story series will screen in cinemas on 21 June 2019, a year later than expected.
The film will arrive after nearly a nine year gap since Toy Story 3, and more than two decades after the original, which was released in 1995.

Disney announced the news via Toy Story's official Facebook page, with a photo of a giant post-it board with the number '4' in classic Toy Story style.

Few details of the sequel have been released, but it has been reported that most of the key characters will return: Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), Bo Peep (Annie Potts) and Jessie (Joan Cusack).

It was also announced that there would be a love story between Woody and Bo Peep when Parks and Recreation actor Rashida Jones and Sopranos actor Will McCormack were set to write the movie. The film continues from Toy Story 3, where Sheriff Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), among their other toy friends, have found new appreciation after being given by Andy Davis to Bonnie Anderson. They are introduced to Forky (Tony Hale), a spork that has been made into a toy, and they soon embark on a road trip adventure alongside old and new friends. However, Jones and McCormack quit the project in November 2017, replaced by Stephany Folsom, saying there was a lack of prominence for women and people of colour in the creative process, so it is unclear whether their plot will remain.
