'Toy Story 4': Woody reunites with Bo Peep in new trailer

Woody discovers the long lost Bo Peep in the latest trailer for Disney and Pixar's upcoming animated sequel, Toy Story 4.

The clip, released on Tuesday, begins with Woody (Tom Hanks) introducing new character Forky (Tony Hale) to Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) and the rest of Bonnie's toys.

Forky is a utensil Bonnie outfitted with pipe cleaners and googly eyes to turn him into her own unique toy.

Forky, facing an identity crisis, escapes from Bonnie's moving car with Woody in hot pursuit. The stranded pair then come across Bo Peep (Annie Potts), who was missing in action from 2010's Toy Story 3.

Woody, as he attempts to explain to Forky his important role as Bonnie's toy, is introduced to Bo Peep's new life living near a carnival where she doesn't have to worry about being abandoned by her owner again. Woody must then decide if he should travel back to Bonnie or live out his days free with Bo Peep.

"I was made to help a child. I don't remember it being this hard," Woody says.

Toy Story 4, from director Josh Cooley, is set to arrive in theaters on June 21. Joan Cusack, Don Rickles, Estelle Harris, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Jeff Pidgeon, and Blake Clark also provide voice work.

The film will also feature Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele of Key & Peele fame voicing two new characters, Ducky and Bunny respectively.

'Bill & Ted Face the Music' set for Aug. 21, 2020 release

Bill & Ted Face the Music, the long awaited sequel to Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, is scheduled to open in theaters on Aug. 21, 2020.

Original franchise stars Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves will reprise their roles as the titular time-travelers. The first two films, which were released in 1989 and 1991, showed Bill and Ted as teen slackers charged with saving the world.

Appearing together in a release date announcement video Wednesday, Winter and Reeves thanked their fans for decades of support and urged everyone to "be excellent."

"Off we go," Winter tweeted, along with the clip.

In an interview with UPI in November, Winter said he was excited about reuniting with Reeves and returning to physical comedy after years of making documentaries.

Production is set to begin on Face the Music this summer in New Orleans.

Dean Parisot -- whose credits include Galaxy Quest and Red 2 -- is directing the comedy from a screenplay by returning franchise writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon.

"Yet to fulfill their rock and roll destiny, the now middle-aged best friends set out on a new adventure, when a visitor from the future warns them that only their song can save life as we know it and bring harmony to the universe. Along the way, they will be helped by their families, old friends and a few music legends," a synopsis said.

Reeves told the crowd at New York Comic Con in 2017: "We're trying to get it all worked out so, hopefully, one day. Hopefully, before I'm 60."

Reeves is now 54 and Winter is 53.
