Toy Story 4 producers Mark Nielsen and Jonas Rivera said: “We’ve seen Woody and the rest of the toys in a lot of unexpected places over the years. And this time, we’ll see them in an RV, at an antique store and in the innerworkings of a carnival. But how many people can say they’ve seen them at 35,000 feet?”
On the aircraft’s debut flight, guests received a complimentary one-month Cinemark Movie Club membership which will enable them to watch Toy Story 4 at Cinemark locations.
