In comments to Disney Latino and published on The Telegraph, Pixar president Jim Morris stated that Toy Story 4 is “not a continuation of the end of the story of Toy Story 3“ and added that, “In temperament it is, but it will be a love story. It will be a romantic comedy. It will not put much focus on the interaction between the characters and children.” John Lasseter will return to direct the movie, which came about after he had an “exciting” idea that he “could not stop thinking about” and “knew [he] had to make it.” Rashida Jones and Will McCormack will be co-writing the script.
Toy Story 4 is currently in pre-production, and currently has a release date of June 16, 2017.
