You’ve heard all the rumors, and they’re true. All returned. There will be some surprises. Arnold (Vosloo), my still great friends and other favorites: Kevin J. O’Connor. He is a fantastic actor. Interestingly, we recently went to this convention and this guy approached us. He was wearing a mask. Kevin J. O’Connor asked if I was there too, I said no, then he took off his mask. It was Kevin. I shouted to Brendan (Fraser) and he came over and everyone gave Kevin a hug. He later joined us on the panel. Kevin was a bit off track; near the end of his life he went home to look after his father. But then we found it again. Brendan had previously whispered in my ear about the potential of this event and it wasn’t long before the official connection was made.

Toy story 6
talking to Screen Rant, Toy story 5 When asked if there was a plan, director Andrew Stanton replied, “I think that’s the pattern.” Toy story 6.
So I hope if it continues, this is a pattern. So I always knew that there was a natural opportunity to just follow Bonnie and just follow her life and see what happens to the toys if this continues. So that seed has always been there. It’s like a series that doesn’t know if it’s going to be picked up for the next season. We were always going to end it here, but at the end of the 4th we passed the badge from Woody to Jessie, so it goes on anyway. So it’s always been that way of thinking.
