Disney Pixar has announced that the recently announced movie, Toy Story 4 has got a new co-director to assist existing director John Lasseter who is also COO of Pixar. The movie is set to release on 16 June 2017. Josh is currently head of story for Pixar’s upcoming animated title Inside Out.
Josh tells Variety that this is a dream come true for him. “To be co-director on Toy Story 4 with John, who brought the Toy Story characters to the screen 20 years ago, is a dream come true. When I first saw Toy Story I was amazed by the groundbreaking computer-generated animation. But it was the strong storytelling that kept me coming back. Toy Story 4 will continue that tradition and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of it!”
Pixar president Jim Morris recently revealed that Toy Story 4 will not be continuation of Toy Story 3 but will be a fresh one. In addition to this, it will be a romantic comedy as well.
