Unfortunately, the upcoming sequel seems like it wants to take the series back on itself.

TheToy Story 5reveals at D23included Andrew Stanton being confirmed as the writer and director.

Stanton didn’t direct the 2019Toy Storyeffort, but he did help pen the screenplay.

The long-standing Pixar figure has been heavily involved with projects by the studio, including directing 2008’sWALL-Eand 2016’sFinding Dory.

Weirdly, the first released image fromToy Story 5has Woody back with the others.

I was nervous when the movie was announced because of how perfectToy Story 3’s endingwas.

Toy Story 5 is the fifth entry in the Toy Story movie franchise by Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios.

Thankfully, I found myself won over by the project upon release.

I don’t thinkToy Story 4’s ending undoes the previous installment’s conclusion but rather extends it.

In all likelihood, I think this is Stanton’s plan.

On the other hand, there are alternatives.

Alternatively,Woody’s reunion may not be permanent.

With little context surrounding the image, there’s no way of knowing until more information is made public.

Should Toy Story 5 Undo Toy Story 4’s Ending?

It felt like a perfect way to leave the story.

As a result, I think the only real solution is to bring them back together.
