The third film concluded with Andy’s story coming to an end. The baton has been passed to Bonnie, who is now the main human character that plays with the toys. There is one moment in the newest TV spot that appears to signify how the toys are truly in a new era. [Read more…]

It sounds a bit unnerving. Watch the birth of this character and see him come alive after the jump. [Read more…]

I Am Excited and Nervous To Watch ‘Toy Story 4’
Toy Story 3 ended on a perfect note. Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the gang endured an incredible journey as they prepared to leave Andy forever.

The film was capped with Andy handing his toys off to Bonnie, one of the most heartfelt moments to grace any film in the last 10 years.
