TOY STORY 5 MISSED ITS CHANCE. TOY STORY 6 MAY NOT.
Across North Texas, rumors are beginning to circulate that Woody and Buzz Lightyear may soon have some unexpected company.
Samuel Bain, known by many as The Dirt Cowboy, is reportedly being considered for a role in the next great Toy Story adventure.
While Woody has spent years keeping order in the toy box and Buzz has protected the galaxy from countless imaginary threats, there is one thing neither of them has ever had.
A dirt work crew.
Enter The Dirt Cowboy.
A larger-than-life Texas character known for land clearing, demolition, excavation, site preparation, road building, and turning impossible projects into finished results.
But no cowboy works alone.
Joining him would be his longtime friend and trusted sidekick, Jeremy Pebley.
Known throughout this fictional Toy Story universe as Backhoe Billy, Jeremy brings the loyalty, humor, and determination needed to survive any adventure.
Together, The Dirt Cowboy and Backhoe Billy would help Woody and Buzz tackle challenges unlike anything they've faced before.
Abandoned toy construction sites.
Forgotten roads.
Collapsed playsets.
Uncharted territories beyond the toy box.
With dozers, skid steers, excavators, and enough Texas grit to fill an entire movie screen, the pair would introduce a whole new kind of hero to the Toy Story universe.
Whether Pixar will come to an agreement with The Dirt Cowboy remains to be seen.
But if Toy Story 6 needs two characters who know how to build something from nothing, Samuel Bain, The Dirt Cowboy, and Jeremy Pebley, Backhoe Billy, are already ready for the job.
