Toy Story

After much anticipation, Toy Story 4, featuring the voices of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Annie Potts, arrives in cinemas this week, and after the excitement of the trailers, we can not wait to see the film in full. As with all Pixar films, we apparently have a lot of Easter eggs to look forward to, with Toy Story 4 reported as having the most Easter Eggs of any Pixar film!

Of course, when we talk about Easter eggs, we don't mean the chocolate delights we usually eat in March or April, we mean the little homages to previous Pixar films, or characters. Ahead of the release of the new film, details of where some of the Easter eggs can be found have been released, so keep this in mind when you take a trip to the cinema to see the movie.

Speaking to DigitalSpy, the film's producer, Jonas Rivera said, "This is the mother of all Easter egg films because we had to fill that antique store.

"My favourite Easter egg is, we have a tradition of putting the Pizza Planet truck from the original Toy Story in all the movies – it's in all of them and it's in the best spot ever."

He continued, "I don't know if I want to give it away. Should I? OK. It's not even a physical version of it. It's a tattoo on somebody so look close... and maybe it's the carnival worker... look close!"

Mark Nielsen, who also produces the film, then revealed, "There is literally something from every movie Pixar has ever made in the background in this movie.

"That antique store is a wealth of it, so we hope it's rewarding to all the people that love Easter eggs."

Now take a look through our gallery of films to look forward to this year....

Toy Story 4

There were no dry eyes in the house at the end of Toy Story 3 - and whilst many were happy with how the trilogy finished, the new trailer has made fans realise that perhaps they do need another film in the series after all. Toy Story 4 will be released in the UK on 21st June 2019.

Avengers: Endgame

The second part to the finale of the Avengers film series will be released next year. Following on from Infinity War where half the population of the world has been wiped out by Thanos - including a LOT of our favourite Avengers - how on earth will our heroes conquer the evil genius? Avengers: Endgame will be released in UK cinemas on 26th April 2019.

Star Wars: Episode IX

There's also another major finale to a trilogy coming out next year in the form of Star Wars: Episode IX. After Rey was able to harness the Force, fans have been left wondering if they'll ever discover her true parentage - or whether she really is a nobody, as Kylo Ren said. It will be released on 20th December 2019.

Dumbo

Disney are not holding back with their plans to give most of their old classic films the live-action treatment after the success of films like The Jungle Book, and Dumbo is now in the works. The trailer on its own had viewers weeping, so it's most likely to be a huge tear-jerker when it's released in the UK on 29th March 2019.

The Lion King

Another Disney classic to be given a live-action makeover next year is The Lion King. Fans of the original were dubious over whether anything could compare to the 1994 animated film, but the star-studded voice cast has managed to turn people around. The Lion King will be released in the UK on 19th July 2019.

Aladdin

2019 is going to be a huge year for the Disney live-action remakes, as Aladdin is also set to be released.

Aladdin will be released in the UK on 24th May 2019.

Frozen 2

The first Frozen film was one of the most popular children's films of the decade, so it's no surprise that a sequel has been in the works since its release in 2013. Bringing back Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel as sisters Anna and Elsa, Frozen 2 will be released in the UK on 22nd November 2019.

Exciting news of the Easter eggs comes just a few weeks after it emerged that a fan favourite character from Toy Story 3 would not be returning for the fourth film. Barbie's boyfriend Ken was played by Batman actor Michael Keaton, in the 2010 film. However, speaking to Comicbook.com the film's director Josh Cooley said, "Ken is not in this film. He's back at Sunnyside [Day Care]."

Despite this, Toy Story 4 sees many of our favourite characters returning to the big screen, including, Woody, Buzz and Jessie return. Bo Peep will also return, despite not appearing in Toy Story 3. Kitted out in a fantastic new outfit, Bo has ditched her old puffed out dress and bonnet for a playsuit and bow, complete with a superhero cape!

Toy Story 4 is out in cinemas on Friday 21st June 2019.
