11 Upcoming Movies That Have Ignored Massive Mistakes

10. Undoing A Perfect Ending - Toy Story 4

The Mistake

Fans around the world were genuinely shocked when Pixar announced that a fourth Toy Story movie was in the works, if only that the third movie seemed to give the series' host of beloved characters such a fitting - and yes, devastatingly emotional - send-off.

It felt like the definitive final word on Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen) and co., and yet, because John Lasseter and his team reportedly came up with an "irresistible" premise, Toy Story 4 is imminently due for release.

And while there's little chance of it being a bad movie, the marketing has failed to convince so far that it'll be anything more than an acceptable sequel that nevertheless lacks the charm of its predecessors, and moreover, fails to justify its existence.

The Lesson(s)

There are so many examples of this throughout the annals of cinema. James Cameron suffered this dual indignity, as Alien 3 derailed his perfectly tidy ending to Aliens by killing off beloved characters Newt (Carrie Henn) and Hicks (Michael Biehn), while Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines re-opened Pandora's Box after T2's poignant "no fate but what you make" finale.

Elsewhere, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade gave the beloved titular hero a fitting send-off - the clue is in the title! - only for 2008's belated fourth film to embarrass everyone involved and leave most fans crestfallen. That's to say nothing of all the subsequent pointless sequels in each of these franchises (including the upcoming fifth Indy film).

And in that respect, you absolutely shouldn't have faith in Pixar to stop at four Toy Story movies: if this thing's a hit - which it will be - there will surely be more on the way.
