I call money grab, as there really is no point in another Toy Story just like there is no point in Finding Nemo 2....

Nobody checks sources anymore, they just say "Oh that sounds about right" and link to it. IF there's anything to this, then I predict a spin-off instead of a sequel. The no-more-Shrek-movies-but-we're-making-"Puss In Boots"-and-"The Adventures of Donkey"-and-"The Fiona Monologues"-and-so-forth gambit. We'll probably get "Slinky Dog and Potato Head's Circus Caper" or something.

What was nicely wrapped up by the third film ... is going to be wrecked by carrying it on - past it's prime! Shrek, the "Alien" films ... and the Terminator films come to mind.
Originally Posted By oc_dean I liked the conclusion to Terminator II, ended on an optimistic note.

Now the little girl at the end of the third film acquires all the toys .... and the gang repeat themselves? Same "toy" shenanigans .. just a different owner? And they are doing another "Nemo" film too, huh? And Monster's Inc?? Pixar's new content department seems to have dried up! Now they are going to bore ... to turn us off ... to more of the SAME.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I agree that TS3 ended the series nicely, and doesn't really leave much for a future film. However, Iger's plan for the Company is to simply squeeze any possible life out of each and every existing property, so the rumor does make sense from that angle. Iger has announced that he's stepping down in 2015, which means that the film won't come out before he's gone, but that doesn't mean he's not pushing for it. It seems like this is the general direction that Hollywood has been headed for years, but Iger has practically destroyed the studios of TWDC trying to build and exploit franchises. Plus, there's that Tom Hanks quote from a nighttime talk show around the time TS3 came out that implied there was a possibility of another film
Originally Posted By mawnck OK, once more with feeling, for those that missed it the first few times. THERE IS NO TS4 UNDER CONSIDERATION AT THIS TIME. The "rumor" is from an ABSURD source, and the fact that everyone is running with it just shows what a bunch of rubes we've all turned ourselves into. Now the rumor about Comcast buying Studio Ghibli ... that one is TOTALLY true. Totally. This according to a Google+ post by Bharjaali Hussein Berkowitz, assistant entertainment reporter for Radio Dummkopf of Kiev, Ukraine.

Once Disney announced Finding Nemo 2, I realized we are in the darkest times for Disney as they milk money out of every possible source... The Direct to Video crap from last decade is nothing compared to what we are seeing now..
Originally Posted By mawnck >>So when Toy Story 4 comes out in next 3 to 4 years, you'll admit you are wrong?<< Of course. If you promise to admit you're wrong when it doesn't. Please note that you said 3 to 4 years. In a longer time line, anything's possible. And I said (in post 4) that some sort of cheapquel spin-off (a la "Planes") could happen, since they can rip those out quickly, like a beanfart. But I'll repeat my main point yet again ... This country has developed the weirdest method of consuming news media, believing the stupidest rubbish from the stupidest sources, as long as it fits the narrative already playing in endless loop inside their heads. Disney/Pixar are money-grubbing sequel-making rapscallions, so if both the pharmacists at the 3rd Avenue Rite Aid in Decatur say they're making another sequel to Toy Story, then it's true and you'd better shut up if you disagree, Lasseter.
