Toy Story 4 is finally here. Everyone knows and loves Buzz and Woody. But do you remember the time Buzz got lost in the ball pit at Poultry Palace? Or the time Rex held a rave in the bath tub?

What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Single best investment
By and far best investment Ive made. I used to drive my husband nuts because Id be a fidgeting mess the last half hour of the movie trying not to miss important parts. Now I just turn this app on and *bam* I can actually focus on the movie the whole time. Even puts alerts to my watch so even better. Also I can guarentee all the 5 reviews arent fake as one person accused – its just that so many of us movie-goers had the same problem and this fixed it. Yes, it is paid but jeeze its expensive to keep watching movies and updating an app for every movie. And if you read more about the creator he mentions he has several people contributing – so yeah its paid but omg worth every cent. 10/10
Developers note: the RunPee app is now, and always will be, 100% free. Donations are optional.

If you’re a fan of the Toy Story Universe, these are definitely worth your time. Even though they aren’t feature length, the same thought and care has been put into these shorter cartoons. They even include the same celebrity voice cast. These make a great appetizer to whet your palette for Part 4, or as a dessert after seeing it. Especially since Toy Story 4 will be the first Pixar movie to be shown without a short since the original Toy Story.
You know what else is worth your time? Our amazing app that tells you when to pee during all the wide release movies and if there are scenes after the credits. Never miss an important movie moment again with the RunPee app. Be sure to use it when you see Toy Story 4. Or any other kid flick this summer! We’ve already got Peetimes for Aladdin and The Secret Life of Pets 2. And we’ll have Peetimes for The Lion King and Artemis Fowl, so you won’t miss a second of movie magic.
