![]() I was surprised to see Bo and Woody end up together, but it was on her own terms. So I hope that they see this Bo and are like, “Oh! I’m important. But that is not the scoop that little girls have been getting. So really, what good is he? Because the mama lions have been bringing home the bacon and making it count for a long time. ![]() They get, “I’m sorry to say, the lion’s share.” But you know, even when the lions feed, the lionesses have actually captured the meal and brought it to him. I hope they feel empowered by her as she has learned to empower herself. She has! What message do you hope the young girls who see this movie take from Bo Peep? It’s the old, “But still, she persisted.” She has definitely persisted. A lot of heartbreak and displacement, and she’s kind of come out of it. The whole franchise has a big following and is so beloved that I’m not surprised, but I do think that it’s rewarding that Bo has broken into the boys’ club. You know, I haven’t… I’ve seen some feedback, people are sending me some stuff. So we got to do that, which was really nice.ĭid you keep up with any of the fan reactions after the Bo Peep-centric teaser was released? ![]() Well, it’s nice because we’re very seldom in the same room, Tom and I actually got to do a lot of sessions together because of the nature of their relationship this time out. But when you did see Tom Hanks and the rest of the cast, what was that like? In fact, she had found a way to spread the love around and have a very exciting life.įor animated movies, voice actors don’t always record together. Well, I thought the larger point was, you don’t need somebody to own you. One of the lines that I thought was really interesting was when Bo Peep told Woody that she isn’t just thriving on her own - she doesn’t even want a kid. ![]() They totally got you.” So anyway, I’m fairly elated right now. And I said, “Oh gosh, thank you so much for putting this crown on my head.” Because it took everybody, but that work that they did with me, for me, I thought, “Wow, I’ve never had a more cohesive connection, relationship creatively.” I saw Wally Shawn after the premiere, who I’ve been working with for the last couple of years on “Young Sheldon” and he knows me pretty well. I have to say, I told Josh Cooley after I saw the film - we met outside of the screening room and I just fell onto his - he’s a very big guy - I just kind of fell on his chest and we both had a good cry. I mean, that’s usually the work that’s up to me as an actress, you know? But I met them and I thought, “You guys are super on it! Awesome, I can just kind of sit back and let you guys make me!” And the proof is in the pudding. Well, honestly I was so amazed that they even had a team of 12 people whose job it was to define her every gesture and the way her eyes turned and in what direction and how her hand would be extended. What insights did they give you on where we find Bo Peep now? Pixar has a team dedicated to each character. You just keep cycling through that rinse and repeat throughout an hour and 40 minutes, and it’s a good ride. I think it may be the most emotionally satisfying of all of them in terms of both humor and heart. What surprised you the most when you saw it all put together? And then, of course, when I saw it, I was gobsmacked. We had a script, but it kept evolving, and I never saw a whole script. I was invited back in November 2014, and I honestly didn’t realize how big my role would be until I saw a screening about six weeks ago. When did you first find out you’d be returning and how big Bo Peep’s role would be? Potts chatted with Variety ahead of the film’s release to talk about Bo Peep’s pivotal role, what she hopes the character’s new independent direction will say to young girls and if she’ll be in the new “Ghostbusters” movie. And “Toy Story 4” gives audiences a very different Bo Peep, one that sees her running through the world kid-less, showing Woody that being a lost toy might not be so bad after all. Bo Peep is back - and is a bonafide badass.Īfter being absent from “Toy Story 3,” Annie Potts returns for the fourth installment of Pixar’s beloved series to reprise her role as the porcelain sheep herder.
