Bo Peep is back for Toy Story 4, and she’s rocking a whole new look.
Although Bo appears in the previous films as the pretty, soft-spoken, and a little bit sarcastic toy who Woody has a big ol’ crush on in Andy’s bedroom, it seems she’s breaking out of her shell for the fourth installment of the Disney Pixar franchise. According to a press release celebrating her addition to the cast, the studio writes that she and Woody haven’t seen each other “in years,” and that Bo has become “chipped and faded” over time.
“Bo’s strength and sarcasm always belied her delicate porcelain exterior, and it turns out she’s an adventure-seeking free spirit who feels right at home on the road. When she and Woody are reunited under unlikely circumstances, they realize they’ve grown worlds apart when it comes to life as a toy.”
It will be interesting to see how she fits into Woody’s new world, especially since Toy Story 4 was originally pitched as a romantic comedy featuring the two before evolving into a story that involves Tony Hale’s new character, Forky.
“Bo’s taken control of her own destiny,” said Toy Story 4 director Josh Cooley. “While Woody was watching Andy grow up, Bo gathered dust until she took it upon herself to head out into the world. And when Woody shows up, they can’t believe that they’ve found each other again.”
Luckily, Annie Potts is back on board as the voice of Bo Peep, and describes the latest edition of her character — who’s ditched her pink petticoat and now rocks it as a cape, instead — as “modern, independent, capable, and confident.” See Bo in action in a clip and her character poster, ahead!
