‘Toy Story’ fans react strongly to new film promo photo with missing characters

Some fans of the beloved ‘Toy Story’ film series are outraged after noticing that some characters were absent from a still photo believed to be from the movie.

Social media users reacted strongly to posts containing an alleged image from the movie, as it appeared to leave out several popular characters from the films. Pixar first confirmed the movie’s upcoming fifth installment in 2023, and this is the first peek that has been released.
