With the recent announcement that John Lasseter and his Pixar team are officially working on **Toy Story 4, we don’t have quite as much of a pressing need for stop-gap visits with Woody, Buzz and the rest. But the shorts and last year’s spooky TV special have been so much fun that we’re happy to have all we can get with the gang. This year’s special is dino-themed and has two new teasers online.
The new 30-minute short finds Tom Hanks' Woody and Tim Allen's Buzz facing a new problem thanks to Reptillus Maximus (Kevin McKidd). He's the leader of a group of dino-toys our heroes meet and who turn out to be suffering a similar delusion that once afflicted Buzz: they think they’re real. And when you have dinosaurs believing they exist, you know there will be trouble, especially for poor triceratops Trixie (Kristen Schaal).
Based on the footage, there will be plenty of comedy combat to be found lurking within the special, which arrives on American screens on December 2 and should hopefully make it over here around the same time.
