![]() Directing animator Becki Tower said, “The idea that she’s porcelain and a superhero are totally contradictory was an interesting play from day one. Technically, figuring her out was also a huge challenge. ![]() It’s a fascinating dichotomy and one that you can tell took a lot of finessing. (Don’t worry, her sheep are still around.) And Woody is desperately clinging to the idea of belonging to a child he spends much of the early part of the movie convincing a new character, Forky ( Tony Hale) not only that he’s an actual toy but that he is Bonnie’s toy. In “Toy Story 4,” Bo is a lost toy who has embraced her independence and the adventurousness that goes along with being beholden to no one. “If she’s a lost toy, that’s great, because it contrasts Woody,” Hobson said. It turns out that figuring out what Woody’s arc would be in the new film helped them also decide where Bo should go. And then because of that, what would her personality be and what would it mean to her to see Woody again?” Hobson explained. “We would rehash what had happened to her as a starting point. Hobson said it involved a lot of brainstorms. She even said that the movie was so centered around the character that its production codename was “Peep.” This was her movie.īut finding out what made her tick proved to be something of a challenge. It took a while to nail that down,” story artist Carrie Hobson told us. ![]() I think it was super essential that we stayed true to her but we were able to redefine her. It was like, Oh she’s back!? What are we going to do with her? What’s she like? She was a blank slate. “It was what excited me about coming onto the project. She has one arm bandaged (was it broken?) and has turned her polka-dotted skirt into a cape that would make Batman envious. This isn’t the Bo as you remember her her transformation is akin to Sigourney Weaver going from “ Alien” to “ Aliens.” She’s tough. We were shown some footage, where Woody and Bo meet up for the first time since whatever that moment he alludes to in “Toy Story 3” was. And it seems like she’s been through … a lot. In “ Toy Story 4,” out June 21 st (tickets are on sale now), we finally get an answer of what happened to Bo (voiced again by Annie Potts) and we get to see her for the first time in 20 years (the last time she appeared was 1999’s “ Toy Story 2”). “All good toys who have gone on to new owners,” Woody continues enthusiastically. His eyes don’t meet any of the other characters. He concedes that the gang had lost some friends along the way – Wheezy, the squeaky penguin voiced by animation legend Joe Ranft, and the Etch A Sketch seen at the beginning of the very first “Toy Story.” Woody pauses and Rex (voiced by Wallace Shawn) interjects, “Bo Peep.” Woody is visibly shaken. There’s a scene in 2010’s “ Toy Story 3,” when Woody ( Tom Hanks) makes the case that the toys should stick together, no matter what.
