Overhyped and very disappointing.

Rating: 1/10 (14 October 2019)

I actually would rate this as a 4 or 5 star film but I want to bring the rating down since many have rated it as 9 or 10.
Toy story 1, 2 and 3 were all 9 star films and the shorts were great additions to the franchise.
I loved them all and was super excited for the fourth installment even though the third ended perfectly. Boy was I disappointed.
One thing which grates on me is the fact that woody and buzz gain new phrases in each film. (I doubt there were patches for updating the voice boxes) but the characters which have been built up for over 20 years were destroyed in this film. Buzz became a thoughtless golem, Jessie sat back and did nothing, all the other usually strong supporting characters were limited to droll one liners and woody was just pathetic. Bo Peep was built up far too much and was really just a shallow typical rebel stereotype.
Overall there was just far too much taken away from the original 3 films that even the few positives, great animations and superb direction and editing. To justify the creation of this needless entry into what was the perfect trilogy.
