Toy Story 4 Is the First Pixar Movie in 23 Years to Debut Without an Animated Short

slate.com/culture/2019/06/toy-story-4-pixar-no-animated-short.html
>For more than two decades, Pixar movies have been shown in theaters with a warm-up act. It began when A Bug’s Life was released in 1998 accompanied by Geri’s Game, in which an old man plays chess against himself in the park. That 5-minute film pushed the boundaries for CGI animation, won an Academy Award, and started a tradition of Pixar releasing all of its features with a short attached. In recent years these have ranged from the shockingly bad Lava (ahead of Inside Out) to the breathtakingly cute Piper (ahead of Finding Dory) to the devastatingly moving Bao (ahead of Incredibles 2). Even Coco was preceded by Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, though at 21 interminable minutes it did stretch the limits of the word “short.”

>Toy Story 4 will break with tradition by going without an animated short when it enters theaters June 21, a representative for Disney confirmed to Slate. That makes it the first Pixar movie without one since the original Toy Story in 1995, which was only paired with Tin Toy (another Oscar winner) on its home video releases, not in theaters. I wouldn’t be too alarmed by the omission, though. Pixar continues to produce plenty of shorts, including through experimental programs like SparkShorts, which earlier this year put out Kitbull, a film very much in the studio’s tradition of making viewers ugly cry.

>As for Toy Story 4, you’ll just have to munch your popcorn though the usual 20-odd minutes of trailers and commercials before the movie instead.

>Tom Hanks may not be a stranger when it comes to promoting his myriad of films, but the actor revealed that he has to abide by strict rules when discussing Toy Story 4 thanks to Disney.

>"I have these talking points that Disney gives you at the beginning of the press junket thing and these things are like Gutenberg Bible stuff," Hanks said during his visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live!

>"Do you know how many executives right now want to kick my ass because I brought this out?" the actor admitted during his Thursday night appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'

>Thursday night.

"Look at how many times I've studied them... I've spilled some tomato juice on it at one point," he added while holding up the two sheets of paper that outlined the things he's allowed and prohibited to say.

>Hanks then provided some listed examples of things he's not allowed to say including, "Don’t discuss Woody —" and "Please don’t share that —," he said while humming the finished sentences, instead of sharing the actual words.

>"They also give you sample questions, which you have yet to ask my friend," Hanks added, while poking fun at Kimmel. "This is both for me and Tim Allen." An example question included: "Can you talk about how Buzz is learning to listen to his inner voice?" with another question also inquiring about Woody's reunion with Bo Peep.

>Of Bo Peep, Hanks explained that Disney provided a thoughtful answer to say when describing the character. "Bo Peep should be described as a strong character from the beginning. Her recent experience perhaps made her strong, but she was never a weak character," he recited from the sheet of paper.

>While fun to share, Hanks acknowledged that he may get into trouble with Disney for sharing.

didn't they put that 20 minute Frozen special infront of Coco? looks like they learned their lesson

This, Lava was sweet as hell.

You mean the overly sentimental Oscar bait bullshit that used to air before the movies? Who cares

Why did critics hate that short?

fat guy falls in love with attractive, younger looking girl. I remember seeing the term "problematic" being first used in its current permutation from an article complaining about the short.

>TS4 and Pixar are so lifeless they don’t even have the shorts now
Bob Iger destroyed Pixar like he did everything else and you can’t say otherwise

It's kind of sappy but I thought it was the good kind of sappy.

Because of course that kind of thing never happens irl

You know, this might have actually had some significance if people experienced this change in pace first had rather than hearing about it from some outlet a week in advance. Would be nice if movies could actually try and keep shit hidden instead of constantly blabbing about shit.

Yeah, how the fuck would Tom fucking Hanks get in trouble? "Tom, we're blacklisting you from any future film production". He's already filthy stinkin' rich, has a massive resume, one of the most popular actors of all time, will continue to get work even if not through Disney. Tom Hanks is so beloved, it's one of the few Twitter accounts even Yea Forums says is based.

You can't fucking touch him.

Kimmel is on ABC owned by Disney, you still playin checkers.

what a mess.

Toy Story 2, Cars 2, Cars 3 didn't have a Short.

which one had the asian obsessed with white ass? inside out?

You mean Bao? That was before Incredibles 2

>Comparing sex-based crimes to reading some rules sheet Disney gave an actor

Are you retarded?

Day and night is the only short worth giving a shit about

And advertisements are better than experimental films?

it was unoriginal was the least of its problems

but she wasn't. name a single weak thing she ever did.

>Canadian shirt
Yep, thats not surprising

She wasn't an action hero when it came to saving Woody from the rioting toys in many scenes in the first movie. All she did was stand by and yell, "Stop it, you guys!".

Isn't she made of porcelain?

Yea them saying Lava is bad is bullshit.

Guess they got all pissy after white people didn't get Bao and Purl was a joke.

What you mean all that jive about Tom Hanks regaling us playing card games with people in Oakland was bullshit?

yep, incredibly durable apparently. Unlike her knockoff in Happy

Pixar shorts haven't been good for 10 years

GOOD.

Be a woman

Iger is legitimately worse than Eisner.

Eisner had a few bad ideas for Disney brands; Iger fucking destroyed the entire entertainment industry.

Soulless

I like how any heterosexual romance is now "not original". Fuck you.

Were those same people complaining about the recent seth rogan romcoms?

Lava was fucking terrible and boring. Just wanted the movie to start. All of their latest shorts are not classics.

Whats with the spork?

People were mad at the portrayal of the weird ugly guy falling in love with a hot attractive girl. Claiming it was some misogynist fantasy.

But this wasn't for white people. So stop watching it right now.

This short was unironically really racist towards Asians. weird considering the director was Asian

What kind of Asians found this racist ? Gooks, nips, chinks or others?

Toy Story 4 looks bad. And if I'm honest Toy Story 3 is largely unwatchable to me. I didn't care about Lotso the Filler Time Waster. The big deal with Toy Story 3's set up was the toys dealing with Andy growing up, but hey let's waste time at a literal Daycare Center. Fucking bullshit. Only the beginning and the ending of Toy Story 3 matters. I seriously cannot rewatch Toy Story 3 because of how empty and hollow the movie is as well as largely pointless outside of the ending.

Anyone else?

This movie is going to make them a cool billion, wouldn’t they want to show off a new animator or something

This, she'd probably be the dominant one in bed.

Who saw this and thought: "Yeah, this looks okay?"

This made me kek, which was apparently problematic. Pretty nice kek. Would be better than Incredibles 2 if it had over 20 minutes of ass.

They thought Bao was good. Just disregard.

The story supervisor on Toy Story 4 is finishing up a Boo Beep short. It’s not finished on time. Not sure yet if it will be just dvd, disney+ or shown before another disney feature.

And he's not done yet. Love their idea of a Star Wars Park is one almost utterly devoid of things people refence with Star Wars.

Bonnie made it so its the most important toy, for some reason.

It sees it self as trash and wants to kill itself.

But takes joy in being Bonnie's trash.

It doesn't make much sense.

Selling the fuck out of Merch? My dear young user, that has been an integral part of Star Wars since Episode IV.

Souless
It really did suck.

Pot calling the kettle black on that one

Shorts cost money with no viable return. So of course Dixar wouldn't invest the time & effort making one for a now washed-up movie series.

But they are. There’s a Bo Beep short on the way.

it was bland as my morning shits user.

For real. Lava was the best short so far.

Apparently reality triggers there preconceived notions of really.

Nobody:
Pixar: *holds up spork*

He’s done with Toy Story anyways, he’s got nothing to lose

the more I hear about this film the worse it gets

Imagine what she can do with that crook of hers

It was never meant to show before TS4. It’s for Disney+

White people.

Why are you eating your morning shits?

Iger's eye is only focusing on profit. He doesn't care the initial purpose why Walt Disney makes movies.

It's interesting how SJWs and feminists promote body positivity and cry out against fat shaming unless it's the male who is overweight. Then it's suddenly what's considered empowerment is now problematic male fantasy.

Clearly you are autistic.

They were used as a way to test and showcase new animation techniques that would improve upon their next films.

I was like "fucking eat him" when she was struggling to keep him from leaving and was pleasantly surprised when she did, but then felt a little bad.

I also was picturing the father being like "Son, you gotta come home and visit your mother. She's been walking around with a pork bun for weeks and treating it like it's her child and I worry about her mental stability."

>"It's okay to be rough with me. You're not gonna break me."
>shatters her hips

>It sees it self as trash and wants to kill itself.

So he's a metaphor for trans?

christ its based on a wonderful Hawaiian musician's life story. FUCK the critics

Because it was a bit too cheesy. That’s pretty much it.

is it really that bad?? i watched Inside Out on theater and thought that was ok

they literally released 3 shorts to YouTube for free

When will people realize that these new flicks aren't real PIXAR films? These new flicks are made by the new feminists in control of Disney now. Feminist have no traditions, and they don't care about yours.

Toy Story 4 was Lasseter’s idea from the beginning, and he would have directed it.

Would have been a nice twist.

But wasn't it going to be a trip to Japan or something?

Yup. Up was the last Pixar movie and by now everyone knows it.

Is it possible they know this movie is fairly doomed (or at least they're not proud of its existence)? Or is this because of Olaf's Bizarre Adventure?
