'Toy Story 4', originally set for a cinematic release on June 2017, has been bumped a year later to make way for 'Cars 3'. The upcoming film in the series is now set for a June 2018 release date. Writer Pete Docter revealed plot hints for the character's brand new adventure.

According to CNN, Pixar's 'Cars 3' has taken over the original slot of 'Toy Story 4' while the latter's release has been pushed back for a year. It was reported that 'Cars 3' is scheduled for June 2017, 'Toy Story 4' is now moved to June 2018, and 'Incredibles 2' is now slated for June 2019. 'Toy Story 4' was initially scheduled for June 16, 2017.

Several waiting fans have expressed dismay at the new schedule over at Twitter. One user wrote, "not tryna be rude but it's making me mad that Cars 3 is one of the Pixar movies i have to wait through to get to #ToyStory4 & #Incredibles2"

According to Forbes, there are also two mysterious Pixar films lined up for future cinematic release. The two films will be three months apart since one will be released on March 13, 2020, while the other on June 19, 2020.

It was previously reported that 'Toy Story 4' will feature Woody and Buzz Lightyear's adventure to save Bo Beep, who has been given away. It was also speculated that the animated feature will explore the budding relationship between Woody and Bo Beep.

An article from Moviepilot reported that writer Pete Docter dropped more clues on the characters' imminent new journey. Docter said, "It's definitely a lot of the same characters and the [same] world. But as you know from Toy Story 3, there's kind of a new big chapter to Woody's life. I can't say too much, but it's simultaneously great characters in things you've come to expect, but really a different kind of take on it."

It was suggested that Docter could be teasing an unexpected plot twist that has never been told in the 'Toy Story' franchise in the past. It could also mean that the toys will enter a new chapter in their life with new owner Bonnie.

'Toy Story 4' is an upcoming animated comedy film directed by John Lasseter and Josh Cooley. Its screenplay is written by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack. Returning cast members include Tom Hanks as Woody, Joan Cusack as Jessie, Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear, Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head and Annie Potts as Bo Beep.
