TOY STORY 4
Josh Cooley | Mark Nielsen | Jonas Rivera
Woody and the gang go on a road trip with new toy Forky, who’s convinced he’s trash and doesn’t yet understand his role in the world. Along the way, Woody is unexpectedly reunited with independent spirit Bo Peep and finds himself faced with a decision, and a future, he never imagined.
FRONT-RUNNER
“Toy Story 4” is a Disney/Pixar film, so just by that fact alone it’s a front-runner. The company has a great track record for winning. However, sequels from the animation company are not always a guarantee. One thing that stands out to me is that “Klaus” swept at the Annie Awards. Yes, that’s a different voting body and the Academy members are much more general and may just gravitate toward “Toy Story 4” because of its name. But, I do believe “Klaus” or possibly even “How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World” has a chance to upset.

UNLIKELY
Right now, “Rocketman” and “Frozen II” are edging well above “Toy Story 4.” I would say never count out Randy Newman, but it does seem like there would have to be a pretty big upset for his song to win.
