Some TOY STORY 5 Cast and Crew Members Pitch the Film to Quentin Tarantino Who Won't Watch Past TOY STORY 3

Director Quentin Tarantino has been vocal about his love for the Toy Story films, at least the first three. He has stated that the third film so beautifully wrapped the trilogy that he will not watch the fourth and fifth films.

While we can all relate to that instinct, as we were all caught by surprise when the announcement for Toy Story 4 was made, but then we saw the sequel and our faith was restored.

The fourth and fifth films were excellent additions to the franchise, and some of the talent involved is making a pitch to Tarantino for this latest movie.

Tony Hale, who voices Forky, a character Tarantino hasn’t yet met as he was introduced in Toy Story 4, told The Hollywood Reporter, “I would say the simple pitch of Pixar doesn’t put out bad stuff. The thing about Pixar is they wouldn’t tell another story if there wasn’t a story to tell. Look at this — that marriage of technology and toys, I want to hear that story. So I would have him lean into his trust of Pixar.”

Pixar chief creative officer Pete Docter teased “I’ve always thought Quentin Tarantino has really good taste” when it comes to his love of the franchise, and admitted, “I like that he sticks to his guns” when he said he’s done with No. 3. Pixar president Jim Morris chimed in, “He’s gotta stick to his guns but I don’t think he’d be disappointed if he took a peek at this one.”

Director Andrew Stanton, who has written on all five films, also weighed in, saying, “That’s his choice — it’s the end of the Andy years and he can end it with Andy, but we’ve got another trilogy with Bonnie,” who is the child at the center of Toy Story 4 and 5. He added, “It’s for him to miss out on.”

That’s the main takeaway. Tarantino has expressed a whole lot of unpopular opinions this year, like bashing the actors he thinks are sub-par, but it honestly doesn’t really matter what Tarantino thinks about them, or the recent Toy Story movies. If he doesn’t want to watch them, he’s the one missing out.
