Really enjoyable Toy Story movie - but felt like it lacked slightly.

Rating: 9/10 (17 September 2019)

It's hard for any sequel to beat the original, and Toy Story 4 didn't live up to the original 3.
When I heard a 4th movie was coming out, I was a little worried as I thought it could have just been a cash-grab. A few minutes into the movie I wasn't overly expressed, but it got better as it went on.
I was stunned by the visuals, I thought they were beautiful and I loved how well it was animated! I wasn't overly keen on the Bo Peep idea at first, but her change fits in to the story quite well. Forky is an enjoyable character who surprisingly isn't annoying and gets better as the story goes on. The other characters introduced were amazing too and all of them were likeable!
One thing I didn't like was how Buzz seemed to be more of a 'comedic' act. Sure, in the 2nd and 3rd movies, he was someone who took the lead when Woody wasn't around, but at least in the 3rd the Spanish act actually fit with the story. This just felt like they didn't really know what to do with Buzz.
However, I really enjoyed this movie. The ending is much better than expected, and it doesn't feel like a cash grab!
