Toy Story 4, is it a good idea?

So, I was having a look around a couple websites and apparently Toy Story 4 is being made. Wow. How do you make a sequel to a movie that was supposed to wrap up the trilogy? I mean, it was a push making Toy Story 3, but it was pulled off with excellence and was on par with the original two films. I don't know where they're going to go from here because Toy Story 3 was quite literally the end of the series, with Andy handing his toys over to Bonnie or whatever her name was. Even if the fourth instalment is pure gold and shoots rainbow out of every scene, it'll still ruin the ending of Toy Story 3.

I'm also concerned by the fact that these "short" installations have been, let's face it, rather dissapointing. I mean, they were OK for a filler, but definitely not as good as the movies, which was not expected as it's just a small, twenty minute Halloween special. We're also getting Toy Story That Time Forgot which looks bad, especially seeing as though the adverts for the short are tagged in with Sky, much alike the Toy Story of Terror. Honestly, the only laugh you'll get out of those two are the titles of the short's, which is a push to say the least.

They're running out of ideas too. Toy Story of Terror was about a guy who stole people's toys and sold them for a nice profit while running a motel. Doesn't that sound like Al, from Toy Story 2? Who stole Woody to try and sell him for a profit with the "Roundup Gang". There is no way for Toy Story 4 to make a new plot without backtracking to older ideas that have already been covered.

John Lasseter, who directed the first two is coming back to make the fourth one. This is cause for celebration right? Maybe. I mean, Lee Unkrich directed Toy Story 3 and did a none too shabby job of it, so hat's off to him. John Lasseter worries me though, I mean, he directed Cars 2. That's just worrying enough to begin with. There also appears to be a lack of excitement about the fourth installation, when compared to Toy Story 3 which had an uproar of happiness and joy, the fourth announcement came with a pretty negative and depressing outlook on it.

Pixar are pretty much making a movie few people want to see and they have so many flaws, as much as it pains me to say this, I don't think it'll be worth seeing the new Toy Story instalment.
