Best animated franchise . . Hands down

Rating: 9/10 (27 June 2019)

Ok I had How to Train your Dragon and Toy Story as my top animated franchises. But after this I can say that Toy Story is my personal pick as the best animated franchise. First of all the animation is superb; the attention to detail mind-blowing. But the thing that has always set Toy Story apart is its story. The franchise has been consistent with just presenting audiences with heartfelt stories that capture your attention as well as your heart; and the fourth instalment made no difference. The story is again heartfelt and sweet as well as it is incredibly deep. The voice work is fantastic; all of them were great, the humour in the film is fantastic. Key and Peele were amazing they were hilarious AF. And I just enjoyed the hell out of this movie. This is certainly the priceless gem in the list of animated franchises. I really don't have a lot of issues with the film but the biggest issue I had was with Buzz Lightyear. I get that there are new characters that are introduced and some of the old characters had to take a huge step back. But I do feel that they executed it in a way that no one is really overshadowed anyone, however Buzz just went completely backwards. He is established as Woody's right hand man, but in this film he is completely changed and it feels like his character growth was negated. Over than that I really don't have much to complain about it; again the animation is fantastic, voice acting was superb, jokes were hilarious and I really liked the approached they had with "antagonist" of the film. She isn't your typical antagonist in a sense that you really feel for her. She kinda reminded me of how people felt for Killmonger in Black Panther. It certainly was great new take for the franchise especially because you do have really intense antagonists in the previous films, Lotso especially in the 3rd film. With an intense character like him it was a breath of fresh air to see a new take on a role.
All in all I thought this movie is fantastic, it certainly is worth your time, money and I would even recommend seeing in IMAX.
