Toy Story 4 Special Press Event by Katherine S., KIDS FIRST! Film Critic, age 10
I had so much fun while I was at Disney World for the Toy Story 4 press events! I attended a screening of Toy Story 4, rode some great rides, watched amazing outdoor animation shows at the Magic Kingdom, took pictures with the Toy Story 4 characters and some of the voice actors of those characters, interviewed Annie Potts who voices Bo Peep and attend two press junkets! Wow! It was a very full two days.
On Thursday, I flew to Orlando with my parents and settled in. On Friday, I rode some fun rides at Disney World and went to the screening of Toy Story 4, which is the best one of the Toy Story movies. By the time the screening ended, the park was closing so I had dinner with my parents. As the park closed, there was a vibrant display of fireworks, animation and a Star Wars laser light show. Disney kept Toy Story Land open for the press after the park closed and I got to take fun pictures with the Toy Story characters.
When we were filming an intro for my video, Tom Hanks ran into the screen and totally “video bombed” me! That was absolutely awesome. He is such a nice person! Then I went to two press junkets and got to ask a question in each session. The director complemented me on my questions and Mr. Hanks made me stand up during my question so that we could talk about his video bombing. He made me laugh the entire time. Once the press junkets ended, we flew back to Chicago.
On Saturday, I interviewed Annie Potts who plays Bo Peep in the movie. Annie Potts is so, so, so lovely and inspiring.
My trip was one of the best ever. Everyone from Disney to the actors in the movie were so kind to me. I will remember it forever.
