| D23 Expo 2015: ‘Toy Story 4’ Will Be A Romantic Film
It was first thought that 2010’s Toy Story 3 would be the end of Disney-Pixar’s Toy Story film franchise, with the characters to live on through animated shorts. Director John Lasseter had explained that there won’t be a Toy Story 4 unless there was a story that was worth telling. But Lasseter’s wife would help with the inspiration for a fourth feature film, and when the Pixar Brain Trust Member Andrew Stanton worked together on the sequel, Stanton came up with a treatment that convinced him that it was worthy to revisit the world of Toy Story. Months after, it was confirmed that Will McCormack and Rashida Jones would develop the treatment to a full script. Now we know more about the film, which has been described as a romantic film with a Pixar touch.

| Disney In Depth: ‘The Legacy Collection: Toy Story’ CD Review
Walt Disney Records’ The Legacy Collection has honored film music celebrating milestones, from The Lion King‘s 20th anniversary to Sleeping Beauty‘s 55th.

Happily, The Legacy Collection: Toy Story, which reaches for the sky, flies with style. “Andy’s Birthday,” a six-minute track found on the original Toy Story soundtrack, instead is broken up into several tracks on this new Legacy Collection album. This works in separating the scenes and applies to many of the other tracks, many of which are less than a minute long. The film’s three main songs (“You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” “Strange Things,” and “I Will Go Sailing No More”) sound as good as ever before, as each of them was remastered for the Legacy Collection.

| Honest Trailers: ‘Toy Story’
Never before (and I’ve watched them all) has a Screen Junkies Honest Trailer ever made me think as much as their latest entry, Toy Story. Narrator Jon Bailey makes you feel old in a hurry, reminding the audience that Disney’s first foray into computer animation came out the same year as… Windows 95! Of course, if Toy Story came out today, it would look more like Wall-E, as every kid Andy’s age plays with high-priced tech toys like video games, and cell phone apps, and can play with all their friends while sitting all alone in their rooms. I know. I have an 11-year-old. Watch the Honest Trailer below.
