The end of an era. Toy Story released what they announced as the final Toy Story movie; however, there is a fourth in the works to be released in 2018. Andy went off to college and his toys went on a journey to Sunnyside Day Care where they faced danger in the form of a teddy bear. What will Pixar have Woody and Buzz do next?
