When Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz (Tim Allen) return for Toy Story 4, they’ll have an old friend in tow – Bo-Peep (Annie Potts).
This long-lost friend of Woody, Buzz and the gang always shared a special connection with Woody, but they have not seen each other in years, and Bo has become chipped and faded over time.
Boās strength and sarcasm always belied her delicate porcelain exterior, and it turns out sheās an adventure-seeking free spirit who feels right at home on the road. When she and Woody are reunited under unlikely circumstances, they realise theyāve grown worlds apart when it comes to life as a toy.
āBoās taken control of her own destiny,ā said āToy Story 4ā director Josh Cooley. āWhile Woody was watching Andy grow up, Bo gathered dust until she took it upon herself to head out into the world. And when Woody shows up, they canāt believe that theyāve found each other again.ā
Bo-Peep will once again be voiced by Annie Potts. āShe is modern, independent, capable and confident,ā said Potts of her character. āBo is written and conceived to be inspiring as she has weathered lifeās ups and downs with grace. I aspire to that.ā
The synopsis for Toy Story 4 is:
Woody (voice of Tom Hanks) has always been confident about his place in the world, and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether thatās Andy or Bonnie. So when Bonnieās beloved new craft-project-turned-toy, Forky (voice of Tony Hale), declares himself as ātrashā and not a toy, Woody takes it upon himself to show Forky why he should embrace being a toy. But when Bonnie takes the whole gang on her familyās road trip excursion, Woody ends up on an unexpected detour that includes a reunion with his long-lost friend Bo Peep (voice of Annie Potts). After years of being on her own, Boās adventurous spirit and life on the road belie her delicate porcelain exterior. As Woody and Bo realise theyāre worlds apart when it comes to life as a toy, they soon come to find thatās the least of their worries.
The film is directed by Josh Cooley (Rileyās First Date?), and produced by Jonas Rivera (Inside Out, Up) and Mark Nielsen (associate producer Inside Out),
