Just when you thought things couldn't get more emotional after the tearful goodbye between Andy and his outgrown toys in Toy Story 3, Tim Allen hinted that the next installment in the popular Disney-Pixar franchise will be even more of a tearjerker.
Allen, who's taken us to infinity and beyond with his memorable vocal performance as Buzz Lightyear in a franchise spanning more than two decades, didn't provide the panel of The Talk with any spoilers from the upcoming movie, so don't worry.
But he did tell co-host Sara Gilbert how emotional the experience of being back in the recording booth was.
Yes, I gotta resist getting emotional. I don't want to give it away, but this is an incredibly great story.
It is so emotional, it's so funny, it's so big, the idea they've come up with, I'm startled.
I couldn't even get through the last scene. I would love to be a Washington leaker.
The parting scene in the previous Toy Story film made grown men cry in theaters.
@people Great. Toy story 3 made me ugly cry when Andy went to college.— KB (@KB) 1538048019.0
@people The best pixar film of all time— Jose Perez (@Jose Perez) 1538028069.0
But, according to the 65-year-old actor, there's more of that to come.
3 I thought was amazing. This one, I couldn't even get through the last scene, OK?
I just can't do it. I can't give any more away. They've got great characters but a couple of scenes toward the end were really hard to get through.
Toy Story 4 Ending Is Very Emotional, Says Tim Allen - https://t.co/pT2MJRunBQ https://t.co/lXw0Iu7nGZ— Screen Rant (@Screen Rant) 1538091308.0
Comicbook.com suggested Allen may have hinted at the high stakes from the film's fourth installment by comparing it to Avengers: Infinity War.
If you're at all a big superhero fan, Infinity War - I'm a big superhero fan - that didn't seem like it was going to work [but[ it was a lot of vignettes that all made sense.

Allen added:
This Toy Story 4 [did that]. We've only been through it once, there will be several more incantations, but it is so emotional, it's so funny, it's so big the idea that they've come up with. I'm startled.
@people OMG.....I was wondering if there was another sequel to Toy Story and by golly there is......Tim, just so yo… https://t.co/eYY8576gV3— Gayle Holmes (@Gayle Holmes) 1538053526.0
Produced by Pixar Animation Studios, Toy Story 4 will be released by Walt Disney Pictures.
Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Annie Potts, and Laurie Metcalf are returning to reprise their roles as Sheriff Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Bo Peep, and Andy's mom.

The film is slated for a June 21, 2019, release, and it sounds like a box of tissues will be in order.
Redditor h-gotfred wanted to hear from the over 50 crowd, so they asked:
"To you Redditors aged 50+, what's something you genuinely believe young people haven't realized yet, but could enrich their lives or positively impact their outlook on life?"
There is so much to know about life.
And we have to age to learn it.
So let's chat...
Be Happy
just married love GIFGiphy"Marriage/relationships should be fun, and happy. Life is hard, things get tough. Find someone that makes the tough times easier, not harder."
Inevitable-Mine6466
"Piggybacking off this and saying, even the happiest marriages get into arguments. It's not a reason to leave."

Battles...
"Not everything that you disagree with deserves an argument. Pick your battles and let trivial things slide."
hail2theKingbabee
"To echo this: Not everyone you disagree with is 'wrong.' They are simply operating with different information. You can disagree with someone on an issue and still value the person. Don't let one issue define your entire relationship with another person."

The End
"If you die, your employer will have your job posted before you are buried. Remember that when making work/life choices."

"I started my career at corporate headquarters for a large insurance company. I was doing GREAT, but I just didn’t like the industry. I applied for a job at a major university and someone took a chance on me and gave me the position (transitioning from for-profit to non-profit is notoriously hard)."
"I made less money over the course of my career certainly but I wasn’t on poverty wages by any means. But I remember about 5 years in, one of my old VPs was in town and we got together. His comment was 'We miss you, but you look so much happier, the psychic income is showing.' Insightful guy."

The Truth
"2 things I will be eternally grateful to my grandfather for instilling in me..."
"Failure is not an end state unless it is where you choose to stop. He loved to quote that line by Churchill whenever something didn't work out for me, Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm."
"Honesty is the most powerful tool you can use to define yourself. Admit your mistake, frankly and honestly. The truth always comes out in the end no matter how big or small and it doesn't get better with age. You can give back something you steal, and you can help those you hurt but once they brand you a liar, it's all you will ever be."

"I just had a quick look at my 50-year-old upper chest, frequently exposed to the sun in my youth, and compared it to my 50-year-old belly, which has always been clothed and covered (I have never liked two-piece swimsuits). What a difference!"

Passions
"Take a genuine interest in what other people have to say, ask them follow-up questions about their passions in life. Don’t just talk about yourself, or wait for your turn to talk. That’s how you have a conversation, and build a relationship."
MayIServeYouWell
"Sometimes you gotta be careful with that. Pay attention if the other person is doing that too, it's important for you to share about your life. It can be kind of lonely when you know so much about your friends, but they don't know about you."

Practice makes Perfect
"Every skill takes determined practice to master. I see my young friends/relatives try and give up on so many things because 'they weren't very good at it.' If you keep doing that, you'll never be very good at anything."
EarhornJonesI
"I love cooking - and find it easy and relaxing. I have hit a point where I can make several dishes that I can honestly say are far superior to what I could get at a restaurant. I love delighting my family and friends with what I cook."
"But the truth is - I've prepared thousands of dishes. I've practiced for 40+ years. I have f**ked up every single type of food there is at least once. I've burnt things. I've undercooked chicken. I failed to emulsify things that should have been emulsified. I forgot to set the timer. I've added too much salt. I chopped when I should have torn. I did all of the wrong things at some point. And because of all of these things, I can walk into any kitchen and make something delicious."

"I’d say invest in your health by regularly exercising. My wife got me into running when we were in our twenties, and it has been a big part of our lives ever since (I’m 63). Nothing crazy, no marathons, we don’t time ourselves or follow a strict training plan, we just pick a route, go at our own pace, and have fun. We still go 3-4 miles, 3-4x per week."
"I also started working out at the gym 3x a week with free weights in my 30s, and have been doing it ever since. I’m no Schwarzenegger, believe me, but I can still work around the house, move furniture, shovel snow and have fun tossing a ball around with the kids without injuring or exhausting myself. Between aerobic fitness and weights, I’ve been able to stay remarkably healthy my entire adult life, knock on wood. It’s also been great for my mental health and managing stress."
"You don’t have to go nuts and set unreasonably strict requirements for exercise goals or diet that a normal person can’t possibly maintain - just do the best you can, make exercising a few times per week a habit, eat a reasonable diet (avoid fried stuff, eat fruit and veggies, lay off the sweets), and 40 years later you’ll really thank yourself, believe me!"

Plan Ahead
Make It Rain Money GIF by yvngswagGiphy"Debt can really ruin your life. If you want to take on a lot of it, make sure you have a good plan and run it by a lot of smart people first."

Debt. Everyone should learn about avoiding debt as early as possible.
This whole list should be taught in Universities.
