With Toy Story 4, the franchise brought back one of its original toys with the return of Annie Potts as Bo Peep, and she’s back a very different toy than when we last saw her (way back in 1999’s Toy Story 2)!
The previous Toy Story movies saw Bo Peep as a delicate, porcelain figure, seldom taking on the kind of rough housing that the other toys could participate in.
“In the script, those are written as ‘Efforts,’” Potts says of the sounds of physical exertion she has to make.
Toy Story 4 establishes early on that Bo has been gone for the better part of a decade, off having her own adventures, and keeping her guard up about her past.
