Yeah that’s my question. Maybe Woody doesn’t go back.

That was my impression from the trailer. And if that is the case, I dont know if my emotions can take it. It was already bad enough when they had to leave Andy .. but Bonnie too???? (and she hasnt aged at all yet!).

I am a sucker for these emotional stories about Toys. Just seeing how distraught Bonnie was when she couldnt find woody choked me up. Having children makes me remember just how attached to toys kids CAN get - some are just as real as pets to them.

With my post earlier about Disney Theatrical’s Musical, Frozen, going to the West End in Fall of 2020.

Frozen is also going to Sydney, Australia (July, 2020) and Hamburg, Germany (2021)!

or at the very least you need to move on to focusing on different main toys - it can't be Woody and Buzz forever

I always wondered that too. But will all the Toy Story Lands built in all the parks with Woody/Buzz/Jessie prominently displayed, it may be tough to move on to new toys and still be as popular.

We have seen Star Wars struggle on what to promote. The new trilogy that they are trying to push in the parks (for good reason) just doesnt seem to be as popular as the old classic stuff (because those older fans are nostalgic for the old stuff. The classic trilogy that is nostalgic or the parents? The prequel trilogy that is nostalgic for the millenials? or the new trilogy that is what todays kids know. They definitely are pushing the new trilogy stuff in the parks (you cant meet Darth Vader or Boba Fett) aand with things like SWGE.. but at the same time they have stage show and Star Tours that prominently has all the old characters.

It is a tough line to walk when you have such established characters like Buzz and Woody. Would a Toy Story 5 be as popular without Buzz and Woody? probably not.

I also found it interesting that they ARE still testing the gondolas between CBR and DHS even though we also know they have begun testing on the CBR/Pop/AoA line as well. I thought there was a chance they would cease testing on the first line when they started working more on the second, and they still could do that, but at least as of today they have not.

If nothing else, they have to run at the same time in normal operation. You wouldn't expect one line to affect another, but weird things happen.

That is true but you can’t make Toy Story films forever. The first is over 23 years old now.

Last I checked they made another Mary Poppins film and that was 50+ years old.

They're still making James Bond films almost 60 years into the franchise.

Star Wars is at 44.

I am not saying they should keep making Toy Story movies that long, but presuming that they might not keep making films...I think this one is a massive hit (likely) that we could still see a Toy Story 5.

I agree - maybe they could do some specials or shorts at first to build up some new characters and if they connect with people then you could try a feature length. but I agree that unless it is some amazing story/film, hard to just roll out Toy Story 5 in 3 years without Woody or Buzz

I don't think the Poppins situation is comparable and those other two are very different franchises.
