Will Toy Story ever be remade?

With all these remakes happining does anyone think people will remake Toy Story in 50s or so. Even though I would like to see another one in the series, I don’t know if it would be good cause remakes are usally not as good as the original, on a rare ocasion it will. Your thoughts?

Do you mean remake like in years they completely redo the series? I highly doubt they will do that

yes, I thought of it today. There already remaking Spiderman when it’s only gonna be 10 years old… how stupid is that. There also remaking Child’s Play.

But how exactly would Toy Story be remade? It’s not like Spiderman where there are multiple different stories and details. For a remake you would have to tell a different story, and for TS you might as well just do a sequel .

Child’s Play makes sense, i’m a fan of the series, and the last two switched from Horror to lame “Dark Comedy”. The original creator wants to go back and start from scratch and take Chucky back to his roots, which I like that concept. It’s been almost 30 years since the first one, so with the new animatronics technology, not to bad an idea. But that’s a different story… Trying to not get to far off topic here.

For Spider-Man, the reason Sony is remaking the series is because they fired Sam Raimi because Sony wanted him to make the entire 4th movie in about 8 months, from Concept to release. And he knew there was no way to make a quality picture in that short a time. With no director, the rest of the cast was gone, so Sony decided to start from scratch and make Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man dark and gritty like “The Dark Knight”. The real reason is they know their production from Marvel for anything under the “Spider-Man” franchise would run out if they didn’t crank a movie into production before the date (which is why they wanted Raimi to make it so fast). And with the success of the Iron Man/2 being produced by Marvel’s new production studio, Sony knows that if they lose Spider-Man that Marvel doesn’t need 3rd party production companies anymore and will do it themselves. Sony’s most marketable/money making franchise is Spider-Man and they’d rather destroy the series instead of losing the rights because they know that the general public will be on board for anything with “Spider-Man” in the title.

Sorry for the long post, but it relates, if they are willing to re-boot a HUGELY popular and succesful franchise that is less than 10 years old, I have no doubt that somewhere along the line, someone will have the idea to remake Toy Story. I do think someone will have the thought, but I do not think it’ll fly down at Pixar. As has been discussed, the first one is set in just an average little community, set to look and feel like it could be right down the street. Things like that, and that nothing really depends on technology, (Woody’s supposed to be an old toy, they still don’t have the technology to make a 100% accurate Buzz) there is nothing really that grounds it to a time period except for it’s attachment to TS3. That way there’s no real way to “Modernize” the storyline, classic toys are classic toys. The story holds up well, there’s no real need to update the tech used to make the film.

I don’t see Pixar letting things like that happen, and to my knowledge they still own the master rights, but I think Disney has a hand on the title “Toy Story” and some character rights. If anything at all they might go back and re-animate with the higher quality animation, but then again that pertains to only the first two. If anything, that’s all I can see actually having a chance, but it’s still not really necessary.

Like I was saying earlier if they are willing to do that to Spidey, there’s no telling what great idea someone’ll have. I really didn’t mean to write an article here, but I had a lot to say. What can I say, I like movies. If there’s anyone who actually could stand reading through that monster, thank you for that, lol.

i’ll prefer new sequels than remake…

Very, very true.

They’re not remaking it, they’re doing another movie based on the same character, in the likes of The Incredible Hulk after the original The Hulk movie. It’s been 10 years? Dang.

Have they ever remade an animated film?

alice in wonderland they remade in live action

I wouldn’t say “remake” rather than a lot of different versions.

I think a remake of Toy Story is a bad idea… half of what’s so great about it is that we all grew up with it and we have those great old memories, and for people who were older the original’s probably even more important because that was the beginning of CG. So, remake=no. :unamused: :-D)

I don’t know why a Toy Story remake will come to mind. The movies that are getting remade are live-action not animation. I do expect many shorts though because you don’t want Pixar’s best work to be forgotten.

Why would anyone want to remake perfection?

Money, Money, Money. But that’s one of the reasons I think Toy Story is safe, if the sequels have shown anything, it’s that Pixar actually cares about franchises, storylines and characters, not just “how much money could we make if we made another one of those things?”

^That sums it up perfectly. Remakes normally anger fans, get bad reception, but they cause a stir and bring in the bucks. Crossing into computer animation remade into computer animation is a very dangerous territory, and I would hope I never see the likes of it.

Basically every remake that’s been made in the past two years has been dissappointing… When will they learn. Also, I’m bumming about Spider-Man as well. First, I understand the circumstances, but could they have waited a little bit? Even people who aren’t fans think it’s absurd. And adding a dark and gritty theme? I have a couple of things to say to this:

  1. Spider-Man wasn’t dark and gritty to begin with. I read the comics, it’s a big difference from Batman. They’re essentially changing the character, and I’m not down for that.
  2. What was wrong with the them of the last ones? It had humorous parts, but it kept a serious and believable tone. Going past that would be too much.
    Okay, I’m done jacking this thread.

It depends on what you mean be re make. if they we did the voice acting and and things like that I dont think its a good idea. if they decided to keep the audio and re do the animation I think it would be something to see. not re replace the original, but to compliment it and put it at todays standard. honestly, I think that would be kinda of cool.

This reminds me of the time when Eisner was delivering his future mandate about making sequels to PIXAR films minus PIXAR’s involvement.

He had mentioned how cool it would be to remake the Disney Classics in CG - the man was mad!

Wasn’t a remake. Based off Lewis Carroll’s story, but had nothing to do with the original animated movie.

There’s a difference between remake and reboot. Remake is self-explanatory, simply remaking/retelling a previously existing film. A reboot can be an extended sequel (Rambo), or a new telling of a movie based on the same work (Batman, Alice in Wonderland).

Please no!!! I love it as it is, and they shouldn’t change anything, even to make it look “Better”. :frowning:
