Toy Story 4, June 21st

As a kid, I always loved the Toy Story series, so I am very excited for Toy Story 4. The story returns with Woody and the rest of the toys when they are brought along on a roadtrip with Bonnie and her new toy Forky. They run into trouble when Forky, who has no desire to be a toy, escapes. While trying to find Forky, Woody is reunited with his long-lost friend Bo Peep. When catching up they begin to realize they have different values and expectations in life as a toy.

Yesterday, June 28th

I am most interested in seeing Yesterday, because of its unique storyline. Jack loves music but he is a struggling artist, and one of the only things keeping his passion alive is the motivation of his best friend, Ellie. One day, Jack gets hit by a bus during a mysterious global blackout, and wakes up to find out The Beatles never existed. Jack begins to sing the songs as if they were his, and becomes an overnight sensation.
