Toy Story 4 confirms the return of Bo-Peep

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.

Boā€™s strength and sarcasm always belied her delicate porcelain exterior, and it turns out sheā€™s an adventure-seeking free spirit who feels right at home on the road. When she and Woody are reunited under unlikely circumstances, they realise theyā€™ve grown worlds apart when it comes to life as a toy.

ā€œBoā€™s taken control of her own destiny,ā€ said ā€œToy Story 4ā€ director Josh Cooley. ā€œWhile 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 canā€™t believe that theyā€™ve found each other again.ā€

Bo-Peep will once again be voiced by Annie Potts. ā€œShe is modern, independent, capable and confident,ā€ said Potts of her character. ā€œBo is written and conceived to be inspiring as she has weathered lifeā€™s 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 thatā€™s Andy or Bonnie. So when Bonnieā€™s beloved new craft-project-turned-toy, Forky (voice of Tony Hale), declares himself as ā€œtrashā€ 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 familyā€™s 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, Boā€™s adventurous spirit and life on the road belie her delicate porcelain exterior. As Woody and Bo realise theyā€™re worlds apart when it comes to life as a toy, they soon come to find thatā€™s the least of their worries.

The film is directed by Josh Cooley (Rileyā€™s First Date?), and produced by Jonas Rivera (Inside Out, Up) and Mark Nielsen (associate producer Inside Out),

DisneyĀ·Pixarā€™s Toy Story 4 arrives in UK cinemas on 21st June 2019.
