Buzz Lightyear and Woody greet guests in front of a whimsical blue backdrop with clouds, under the iconic “Toy Story” logo, as Disney fans celebrate the big reveal of new Toy Story 4 characters announced at D23 EXPO 2017.

During the Pixar panel at the D23 Expo 2017, John Lasseter revealed new information for the highly-anticipated sequel “Toy Story 4.”

A new director for the film was named as Josh Cooley, who formerly worked on “Inside Out” and directed the short film “Riley’s First Date.” Cooley will be the sole director of the film, not co-directing with Lasseter as previously announced.

Toy Story 4 presentation at D23 EXPO 2017 features a Pixar team member in a plaid shirt onstage, standing in front of the giant Toy Story 4 logo as he shares exciting details about new characters coming to the franchise with Disney fans.

A making-of video shown to the crowd of fans revealed a glimpse of new paper doll-like character Lulu, and some scattered others.

“Toy Story 4” will be released June 21, 2019.
