Potato Head, portrayed by Andy as One-Eyed Bart, threatens to have her sheep run over if she doesn't keep quiet after he "robs" the bank. In Toy Story, she is first shown when Andy Davis, who has set up a stage, is portraying her as a distressed shepherdess who is despaired when Mr. “Combined we have different life experiences and perspectives that all contributed to finding the story and then discovering these characters.Toy Story "The sooner we move, the better." -Bo Peep, after Sid blows up a Combat Carl “It’s nice at Pixar that we have multiple generations,” said LaPointe, who came to the studio in 2006 as part of the middle generation. It’s actually a continuation of Stanton’s “Finding Nemo” theme of change being inevitable and necessary. Therefore, Woody’s fear of being a lost toy must be grappled with throughout “Toy Story 4.” And Bo Peep provides the best example with her liberating, fearless, every day’s an adventure credo.

A smile returns to his face when Andy retrieves him, setting up the major conflict for Woody: What’s to become of him after Andy, when he’s no longer the favorite toy? The shot of Woody lying face down in the rain, with a look of mournful regret after Bo drives away and out of his life, is unforgettable. Of course, it also benefited from the brilliant vocal work by Tom Hanks and Potts, who performed together for the first time for greater interaction and intimacy. Indeed, the Pixar animation team upped the character work of both Woody and Bo with new rigs for improved movement and gestures, and the latest in surfacing and eye intricacy. And the animators had a challenge with still trying to keep her limited with the porcelain and adding that melted quality to her face, still being able to emote to that level that humans can.” “Toy Story 4” Disney/Pixar And there was a lot of subtlety in how we play Bo Peep: we didn’t want to have her be angry with him, forcing him to go. It switches his attention and he realizes he can’t go. Does he put his hands on the box? Does he start to lean forward? But I think we found the right balance where he starts to lean forward, looking at Bo, but then hearing Andy come outside. “There was lots of debate about hinting at the possibility of leaving Andy. “There had to be a lot of subtlety,” LaPointe said. Woody almost goes for it until Andy bursts out of the house in a panic about his lost toy. But, in a tender, romantic gesture, highlighted by a stunning profile shot, she hints that they could run away together. Alone, underneath the car, Woody first offers to sneak Bo and the sheep back to Andy’s room, but Bo is way ahead of him. Sure enough, after the rescue of RC, Molly gives Bo Peep away to another family, and Woody tries to rescue her before driving off. And so things started falling into place where she’s the perfect character to have gone to the next step and become a lost toy and thereby changing Woody’s point of view on that.”

She’s always been an instrumental character for him in the previous films, the person he confides in or sets him back on track, even though she plays a small part. “It’s re-grounding the audience because it’s a while before we see her again as a lost toy. “Right away we could see the status level between her and Woody is equal,” said LaPointe. She’s displays an active leadership role in taking charge of “Operation Pull Toy” from Molly’s room, thinking quickly and improvising when Woody runs out of toy cords. The biggest strength of the flashback, though, is reintroducing Bo (voiced by Annie Potts) in ways that were familiar and new. “Because he has his wheels that are turning and can get stuck, but also RC is not in ‘Toy Story 3,’ so it created this heightened level of awareness with people wondering if maybe this was the moment he got lost.” “Toy Story 4” John Lee, Disney/Pixar ” But then we wanted the stakes to be higher and we landed on RC for a couple of reasons,” LaPointe said. First, it was the robot and then one of the aliens because it was more recognizable. Initially, the dazzling rescue mission in a rainstorm didn’t involve RC.
