A surprise for sure, but a welcome one

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2019)

When I heard the news of a fourth Toy Story film, the first thought to come through my head was.. why? Toy Story 3 to me was the perfect ending and one not needing another film. Andy's grown up, so he passed his legacy onto Bonnie, right?
I came into the theatre hands freezing from the iced tea with a hint of pessimism. Toy Story had been a wonderful part of my childhood, even though the first two predated me by a decade. At first I had questions, I was worried about Pixar and whether they'd lost their game. Fortunately, I was wrong.
Having finished just 10 minutes ago, WOW! I don't know what it is about Pixar, but they sure know how to keep their magic alive even 24 years since their first film hit the hearts of generations to come. Despite a few minor setbacks such as the lack of focus on Bonnie and Buzz's dumbing down, Pixar soared high like a bird and did the toughest task any film could ever dream of doing: living up to the legacy of its predecessors.
They ended on a high note, one I'm surprised to say I throughoutly enjoyed. As beautiful as it is satisfying, Pixar's done it once again. Incredible work to their team, they're truly a talented group of people.
