“To infinity…and beyond!”

Truer words have never been spoken, it seems, as - 20 years after they first hit cinemas - Buzz Lightyear and co are set to return for a fourth movie.

And we couldn't be more excited about it if we tried.

Disney/Pixar chief John Lasseter - who helmed the first two Toy Story films - is on board to direct number 4, which is slated for release in June 2017.

Yes, it's quite far away; try not to panic. We don't want another unfortunate (yet hilarious) 'Mrs Nesbitt' incident now, do we?

Lasseter says his team has come up with a new idea for the franchise that “he can't stop thinking about” and that the fourth Toy Story will "open a new chapter" in the lives of the toys.

"When [the writers] came up with this new idea, I just could not stop thinking about it. It was so exciting to me, I knew we had to make this movie.

"And I wanted to direct it myself."

COULD THIS BE THE MOST INAPPROPRIATELY HILARIOUS DRAWING A CHILD HAS EVER DONE?

"We love these characters so much; they are like family to us," Lasseter added in his official statement.

"We don't want to do anything with them unless it lives up to or surpasses what's gone before."

The storyline of the fourth film is being kept firmly under wraps but according to the LA Times, Lasseter revealed it will be a love story and will pick up roughly where the third film left off.

Could Buzz and Jessie the Cowgirl be set to take their romance to a whole new level? Or is Tom Hank's Woody finally going to be reunited with Little Bo Peep?
