They asked me, do you want to write Toy Story 4? I was like, I feel like I just put on a blindfold and ran across a freeway and I didn't get killed. And now you're going, do you want to do it again? I was like, you know what? I didn't want to time.

No, thanks. Where's the nearest target, sir? Take me there. But look, I mean, these are some of the most beloved franchises in history, Toy Story, Star Wars. I mean, I have to imagine the pressure you described is stressing me out. I didn't even have to do it.

But also you're trying to honor the history of those movies by, I imagine, offering something new and unexpected while you also take into account those audience expectations you talked about. Do you think a lot about nostalgia and honoring the past while you're pushing things forward? Is it intense to deal with the expectations of these super diehard fans?

I mean, there's big guardrails on the story, but I think that the danger on something like Toy Story 3 is you're going to resort to sort of cute blandness, or you're going to be sort of repeating yourself a little bit. And I remember my resolution was that I want the script to be funny, not just sort of chuckle, chuckle funny, but really funny. And I want it to be weird also. I want there to be
