Well, we might as well get the tissues out now – Toy Story 4 is going to be one emotional ride.

So says Buzz Lightyear himself, Tim Allen, anyway, and he should know, seeing as he’s already quite knowledgeable about what we’ll be faced with in the final chapter of the astronaut and his right hand pal Woody.

When chatting to The Talk about his final turn to infinity and beyond, this week, he said he ‘had to resist getting emotional’.

Well man, if the guy can’t even TALK about the scene, how are we going to fare watching it?

Adding it was an ‘incredibly great story’, Tim said: ‘It is so emotional, it’s so funny, it’s so big, the idea they’ve come up with, I’m startled.



‘I couldn’t even get through the last scene. I would love to be a Washington leaker.’

Oh god, this is going to be worse than the incinerator scene, isn’t it?

While he was pushed to reveal more details, to start to prepare our delicate hearts for what is to come, he would only say: ‘They’ve got great characters but a couple of scenes toward the end were really hard to get through.’

Yeah, you mentioned that, mate.

Tim the Toolman had previously opened up on the fourth spin, as he said they could have easily ended with the third movie – which was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar in 2010 – being ‘the best of the bunch’.

He told Entertainment Weekly: ‘It’s emotional and funny and exciting and different and took it to a whole new level. It walks the line between comfort – you know what’s going on – and discomfort – wondering what’s gonna happen. It’s terrifically emotional.’

The final instalment will see Tom Hanks return as main character Woody, alongside Tim Allen, who have both helmed the franchise from the first movie in 1996.

With them will be Joan Cusack, Bonnie Hunt and Laurie Metcalf who will reprise their roles of Jessie, Dolly and Mrs. Davis.

And because we evidently have a friend in him, Randy Newman will return as the composer – with the film set to hit cinemas in summer 2019.
