Festival to get first showing of Toy Story 4

A s p e c i a l p r e - r e l e a s e screening of Toy Story 4 has been announced by t he Edinburgh I nternational Film Festival ( EIFF).

The next instalment of t he Disney Pixar series of animated films will be shown in the city’s Festival Theatre on Sunday 16 June - five days ahead of the movie being released in UK cinemas and three days before the festival officially opens.

The new film appears to mirror the storyline of the first, where Woody, voiced by Tom Hanks, must contend with the arrival of a troublesome new toy.

EI FF ar t i s t i c di r e c t or Mark Adams said: “Welove our long- standing relationship with Disney and Pixar, so it is a real thrill that we can show this animated delight to film fans. The arrival of a new Toy Story film really is something to celebrate.”
