Timeline
Toy Story 4 is set after Toy Story, Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3.

Production
Toy Story 4 was announced November 2014. The film is described as a "new chapter in the lives of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and the Toy Story gang." According to the Los Angeles Times, Lasseter has stated the film is a love story, and picks up where Toy Story 3 left off. “We love these characters so much; they are like family to us. 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.” The Los Angeles Times states Lasseter and Stanton have worked on writing a treatment during the last two years. As of March 2015 Pixar president, Jim Morris, is currently planning not to make Toy Story 4 a continuation of Toy Story 3 but a stand-alone sequel. However they might change their minds and make it a continuation. In the same month, it was announced that Josh Cooley will co-direct. Tom Hanks confirmed that he is working on Toy Story 4.
