So there were a ton of ideas and everything seemed on the table," she explains, revealing that in terms of things they weren't able to include, "a handful of jokes or ideas were cut to make the pace and overall feel move.

"I was very excited to tell this story through flashback jump-cuts, having Bo’s lamp as the central image, until she decides to break free from it. I definitely had a hilarious brainstorming session with some veteran gag people at Pixar like Jeff Pidgeon and Bob Peterson to come up with new funny moments." The film is slightly longer than a typical short, LaPointe notes, because of the flexibility of the Disney+ streaming format and that freedom also extended to how the short is structured. "I wanted to portray Bo as having grown through her experience and someone who can laugh at the absurdity in her trials, now that she is on the other side - the way a stand-up comedian would recount something that is actually awful, but we can all laugh at in the re-telling. I pulled a few of the most memorable ideas," she says.

A lot of it was very dramatic and moving, though sad and full of trials. She was given away, sent to thrift stores, passed to various children. "In the earliest reels there was even a flashback scene where Bo told her story and we saw what happened to her. LaPointe tells IGN that the writers had left "a lot on the cutting room floor as far as Bo's story goes" after Toy Story 4, which gave her a clear idea of some of the plot points she wanted to hit in Lamp Life. Annie Potts once again lends her voice to the resilient Bo, alongside Ali Maki reprising her role as Giggle McDimples, while Jim Hanks, brother of Tom, voices Woody (and you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference). Written and directed by Valerie LaPointe (who was Story Supervisor on Toy Story 4), the charming seven-minute short allows Bo to recount her hilarious adventures to Woody firsthand, and we've got an exclusive sneak peek at the short - which you can watch in the player above or below - ahead of the film's release on Disney+ on January 31. Luckily, Lamp Life, a new animated short film from Pixar, aims to fill in at least some of the gaps in Bo's story. While we got to spend plenty of time with the scrappy porcelain figure as she reconnected with Woody in the film, it was clear that there was still a lot we didn't know about what happened to Bo between the events of Toy Story 2 and her return in Toy Story 4. Bo was a little damaged, but stronger for it, and her spunk, optimism, and sense of adventure helped Woody imagine a life for himself beyond waiting around for a kid to remember him.
When Toy Story 4 hit theaters last year, one of the most satisfying aspects of the tale was seeing the return of Bo Peep, Woody's lost love turned lost toy.
