‘Toy Story 4’ Release Date Changed Because Of ‘Cars 3’; Buzz Lightyear And Woody To Return To Theaters In 2018

Sorry, “Toy Story” fans. The long awaited fourth movie release date has been pushed back. Disney made the announcement on Thursday after revealing its new calendar release lineup.

While “Toy Story 4” was originally supposed to premiere on June 16, 2017, fans of Buzz Lightyear, Woody and the rest of the gang will have to wait until June 15, 2018 to watch their favorite toys on the big screen. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the delay is due to “Cars 3.” The third installment in the animated series will take “Toy Story 4’s” original June 16, 2017 release date.

As previously reported, “Toy Story 4” will center on a love story involving Woody (Tom Hanks) and Bo Peep (Annie Potts). The catch is that Bo Peep was left out of the “Toy story 3” plot in 2010. Viewers were lead to believe that Bo Peep was separated from her other toy friends. However, that won’t be an issue in the fourth movie. Pixar Studio President and director John Lasseter confirmed in August that the mystery surrounding Bo Peep will be addressed in the new film.
