A few hours ago, an Instagram user by the name of mariopower.offical posted a photo of what looks to be new promo art for Disney's TOY STORY 4. From what I can gather, the image was plastered on a department store endcap, giving fans of the toys-to-life franchise a glimpse of what's to come for Josh Cooley's highly-anticipated sequel. Presented on the art are the characters Woody, Buzz, and … is that Bo Peep? Yo, she totally looks like Evan Rachel Wood's Dolores Abernathy from HBO's WESTWORLD, does she not? If this is indeed Bo Peep's look for the new film, it would appear that the golden-haired sheepherder is trading in her Princess Peach looking getup from TOY STORY and TOY STORY 2 for a denim blue frock with a pink ribbon sash and frill-chested top. Gone is her old-timey bonnet, which looks to have been replaced with a stylish pink headband and a no-nonsense, low-hanging bun.
You can check out the image for yourself below:
While Bo Peep was previously cut for TOY STORY 3, reports indicate that she'll have play a significant role in the events of TOY STORY 4. In fact, when talking to RadioTimes.com back in June, Bo Peep voice actor Annie Potts said, “I have a big part, I’m thrilled. Most of [my work] is with Tom [Hanks, who voices Woody]. I’ve never done any animation before where you got to work with the other actors. [Normally it’s] just a single voice at a time. But because of the nature of what we’re doing, we’ve been having Tom and me together. That’s fun! That is really fun!”
We don't know much with regard to the plot of TOY STORY 4, but it's been confirmed that a new toy called "Forky" will join Woody and the gang, for a road trip alongside friends old and new, that reveals just how big the world can be for a toy. The screenplay penned by Will McCormack and Stephany Folson calls for Tom Hanks, Patricia Arquette, Keanu Reeves, Tim Allen, Micheal Keaton, Jordan Peele, Keengan Michael-Key, Annie Potts, Joan Cusack, Laurie Metcalf, Annie Potts, Kristen Schall, Bonnie Hunt, Timothy Dalton, and many more to lend their vocals to the blockbuster animation.
