TS3 had the perfect ending and it was one of Pixar's best movies. I love the TS Franchise, all three movies, and that's why I'm also happy that we will get another one.

Seen on Twitter: The plot for Toy Story 4 will feature Hamm the piggy bank as executive turn him upside down and try and shake every last dime they can from him.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I'll go against the grain and say that I really don't understand the fuss about the Toy Story movies. They're a nice enough way to spend 90 minutes, but I don't think that they're especially great. Each one was better than the previous one (the third was actually quite good) which gives me some hope for a 4th installment, but I agree that it just seems like they're doing this purely as a money grab. Given how the last film concluded so nicely, it sort of makes me think that we will have a mostly-new set of characters. Whenever that happens in a franchise (or better yet, when they replace the actors and hope nobody notices), you know they've hit rock bottom >>He'll be 60 in 2017 so it makes you wonder whether this will be his swansong.<< This was also my first thought when I heard the news last night. It seems like this would be the perfect feather in his cap while he bows out
Originally Posted By FerretAfros It's no surprise to me that he wants to make a Cars 3, TS4, or any other number of things he can approve. It just seems like he wants to get his name attached to as many projects as possible (preferably ones that promote characters from his franchises, but that's not a dealbreaker)

Originally Posted By Dabob2 My favorite was TS2.

I watched TS2 again not long ago, and among other things, it's just a perfectly paced picture. The TS characters are strong enough that they COULD make another good movie with them. The shorts have been enjoyable. The Cars characters on the other hand are pretty much ciphers, and Cars3 I could definitely live without.
