Disney Chairman/CEO Bob Iger today announced that Toy Story 4 is scheduled for release on June 16, 2017. John Lasseter, who directed the first two Toy Story movies, is returning to direct the 4th film in the beloved series. Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter, and Lee Unkrich came up with the story, while writing team Rashida Jones (Parks and Recreation) and Will McCormack have come onboard to write the script.

“We love these characters so much; they are like family to us,” Lasseter said. “We don’t want to do anything with them unless it lives up to or surpasses what’s gone before. Toy Story 3 ended Woody and Buzz’s story with Andy so perfectly that for a long time, we never even talked about doing another Toy Story movie. But when Andrew, Pete, Lee, and I came up with this new idea, I just could not stop thinking about it. It was so exciting to me, I knew we had to make this movie—and I wanted to direct it myself.”
