“While Woody was watching Andy grow up, Bo gathered dust until she took it upon herself to head out into the world. “Bo’s taken control of her own destiny,” Cooley says. Reunited with Woody after all these years, Bo realizes just how much she’s missed him, and can’t wait to show him what she’s been up to. Long ago, according to screenwriter Stephany Folsom, “She decided to make the best of her situation, pick herself up by her bootstraps and stand on her own two porcelain feet.”
Though her life changed dramatically, Bo didn’t just sit around. She has become an adventure-seeker whose strength and sarcasm belie her delicate porcelain exterior. Her story, as it unfolds, is that after being separated from Woody for years, though she became chipped and discarded, her spirit was far from broken. Bo, along with her sheep, if you recall, resided on the base of a baby’s lamp in Andy’s sister’s room, which was given away quite some time ago. In the new film, our happy toy gang joins their kid, Bonnie, on a family vacation road trip, where Woody has an unexpected reunion with his long-lost friend Bo Peep. However, in addition to sharing new characters like Forky, Ducky and Bunny and Duke Caboom, director Josh Cooley, producers Jonas Rivera and Mark Nielsen, and key artists of their production team have revealed some details about one important storyline: the return of Bo Peep, voiced by Annie Potts, a key early character in the Toy Story world who returns to everyone’s surprise, especially Woody’s, and who, according to Rivera, “is really the most important piece of the movie.”
With the highly anticipated June 21 release of Toy Story 4, the latest installment in the studio’s most beloved and successful franchise, still several weeks away, Disney and Pixar have both been quite careful with the film’s rollout, revealing just enough to whet our appetites without giving away too much of the story.
