Check Out The New International Trailer For Toy Story 4

Check Out The New International Trailer For Toy Story 4. The International Trailer for Toy Story 4 gives us even more insight into the storyline and characters for the soon-to-be released film from Disney-Pixar.

Fans of all ages were excited about the release of the first full-length trailer for Disney-Pixar’s Toy Story 4 which answered a lot of questions about the appearance of a new character named Forky, a spork/craft material ‘toy’ who was created by Bonnie and has seemingly come to ‘life’ and does not wish to be a toy.

From what the trailer showed us we know that in a serious of mishaps during a family road trip, Woody goes to find Forky after he runs away from Bonnie. While recovering Forky for Bonnie, Woody see’s a familar lamp that once housed his beloved Bo Peep and her sheep and decides to investigate and ends up reuniting with Bo. They meet some other lost toys Bo has met along the way, but will Woody decide to stay with the lost toys or will he remind Bo of how great it was to belong to a kid again?

Though we will have to wait for the release of the film to know how these issues are resolved, the international trailer seems to give a little more insight and a look at some other scenes that were not released in the U.S. based trailer. Take a look at the International Trailer for Toy Story 4, courtesy of Fandango.

No matter how many times I see the trailer, Buzz locking Ducky’s foot in his space helmet still makes me chuckle. Though the scenes we see are similar to those in the U.S. based trailer, we get a little more insight and different images from the international trailer on how Buzz gets put up onto that prize wall, some more scenes with Bonnie, a better look at some of the characters in the thrift shop, and even more.

What were some of the differences you noticed in the trailers? Are you excited to see Toy Story 4? We can’t wait to bring you more Toy Story news as we get closer to the theatrical release of the film on June 21, 2019! Be sure to stay tuned to Chip & Co for the latest and greatest of Disney-Pixar.

For year Orange Bird has been a pop culture phenomena, and has inspired gorgeous Disney Dresses, accessories, and even a sipper cup that flies off shelves instantly.

His features are brought to life with brightly colored enamel, and topped off with his two green leaves. The back of the charm is also in full color, and says “Orange Bird”.

Orange you glad it’s so cute? I know bad joke, but I couldn’t resist! In all seriousness though this bangle is a bit hard to find.

According to Alan Menken Disney’s Enchanted 2 is coming

By

Chip

March 30, 2019

According to an interview over on Den of Geek Alan Menken confirms Disney’s Enchanted 2 or “Disenchanted” is coming!

Before you get too excited and start singing in Central Park he also states not much progress has been made on the film. They have had meetings on the movie but Disney has not given the green light to being production on “Disenchanted” (Enchanted 2).

Supposedly the sequel is set 10 years after the first movie according to Hollywood Reporter. We are uncertain if the plot still stands of Giselle questioning her happily ever after and causing pandemonium not only in the real world but also the animated world where she comes from.

If you remember back in 2016 Disney hired Adam Shankman to lead the film with a script from David Weiss and David Stem, back then production was supposed to start in 2017 but as you can see that time has come and gone.

No other details have been released but I for one would love to see Disney begin production on Disenchanted or Enchanted 2 (whatever you want to call it). I loved the first one and really look forward to seeing more
