Over the summer, Bo&#8217;s voice actress Annie Potts enthused about her <a href=\"https:\/\/comicbook.com\/2018\/06\/03\/toy-story-4-movie-2019-script-rewrites-annie-potts\/\">big role<\/a> in the film.

The game will be released in just a few more weeks, and a new trailer was unveiled this month. Some familiar Pixar faces make appearances, like Remy, Woody, Buzz, Mike and Sulley. This latest trailer is pretty dramatic and has plenty of exciting moments, as well as some perilous ones. Watch it below:<br \/>\n<iframe title=\"Kingdom Hearts III - &#039;Final Battle&#039; Official Trailer\" width=\"862\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tHO5nuwlons?start=147&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Renderman&#8217;s 30th<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/files.slack.com\/files-pri\/T0XH7S76V-FF48GMYAE\/image_from_ios.jpg\" width=\"750\" height=\"420\" \/><br \/>\nThe software program that revolutionized the VFX industry and continues to garner awards for groundbreaking effects turned 30 this year. Renderman first got its start at Pixar and is still an integral part of the studio.

Tokyopop has other Disney titles in its catalog but this is just the second Pixar film to get the manga treatment, joining <em>Finding Nemo<\/em>. The story hasn&#8217;t changed, although the characters have a much more cutesy look, except Roz. Cover art is designed by Philly Delphie and Hiromi Yamafuji gets author credit. The manga hits bookstores on January 8th.<br \/>\nWe hope you&#8217;ve all had a fantastic year! Join us in 2019 for more Pixar news and in the countdown to <em>Toy Story 4<\/em>.
