Toy Story 4 is already gaining a tremendous amount of buzz with the film being released in less than two weeks (If anyone is looking to refresh yourself as to what has happened in the franchise, might I suggest getting a copy of the original ‘Toy Story‘ which you can do by click on highlighted title and purchasing a copy helps out our site) . In honor of National Best Friends Day, Toy Story 4 released this 30-second trailer on Twitter.

It seems that the fourth installment of this Pixar franchise is going to introduce to some new characters and have some terrific moments. Check out this new character Duke Kaboom voiced by Keanu Reeves
Mix in the fact that it seems that Carl Reiner, Carol Burnett, and Betty White each are voicing a character in the film and you have the makings of something great. Then, of course, you have the return of Woody’s beloved Bo-Peep (voiced by Annie Potts).
Pixar has already screened this in other markets, and the reaction has been fantastic.
I can't describe #ToyStory4 as anything other than "emotionally punishing".
This is Pixar at it's best, and it's the first of their nostalgia sequels since Toy Story 3 that truly feels earned in every sense as it twists and warps that very nostalgia into something transcendent. pic.twitter.com/uF32uTsCGg

TOY STORY 4: Only Pixar at the top of their game can make a third sequel to a franchise about living toys that’s a poignant look at learning to prioritize your own happiness over the happiness of others. Also: feels as definitively final as 3 did. Keanu Reeves steals it all.

#ToyStory4 is another fantastic entry in the series & the one installment that feels most like an adventure movie. With themes of hard goodbyes, second chances & finding your way home, it’s packed w/ big belly laughs, but I also cried harder here than I have for any of the others pic.twitter.com/MoFFY2pNqJ

A few things about #ToyStory4 :
The level of animation that @Pixar has achieved in this film is astounding.#KeanuReeves is so awesome as Duke Caboom.
The theater we saw it in was a bit dusty…
And i loved the entire movie. So well done. Absolutely recommended. pic.twitter.com/u5ExEZBf6w— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) June 7, 2019
#ToyStory4 has an ending as lovely and warm and heartbreaking as Toy Story 3. In between the genuine belly laughs (thanks, Duke Caboom) is a story that has the heart that Pixar is known for. Loved it.

Toy Story 4 will be screening in more markets this week, so expect more reaction as the embargo for reviews is up this Thursday at noon. So what do we know about the film so far? Woody (Tom Hanks) has always been confident about his place in the world, and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. So when Bonnie’s beloved new craft-project-turned-toy, Forky (voice of Tony Hale), declares himself as “trash” 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 family’s road trip excursion, Woody ends up on an unexpected detour that includes a reunion with his long-lost friend Bo Peep (Annie Potts). After years of being on her own, Bo’s adventurous spirit and life on the road belie her delicate porcelain exterior. As Woody and Bo realize they’re worlds apart when it comes to life as a toy, they soon come to find that’s the least of their worries.
Directed by Josh Cooley (“Riley’s First Date?”), and produced by Mark Nielsen (associate producer “Inside Out”) and Jonas Rivera (“Inside Out,” “Up”) Disney and Pixar’s “Toy Story 4” ventures to U.S. theaters on June 21, 2019.
