Unnecessary

Rating: 5/10 (29 July 2019)

I loved toys story 1-3. One of the only trilogy's where each film was as strong as the previous one. Unfortunately, toy story 4 did not need to be made, it finished perfectly well at no. 3. This film just felt like a money making opportunity and nothing more. SPOILER. I heard people saying it was a tear jerker, I'm guessing they meant the end where Woody decides to leave to gang and stay as a lost toy with Bo Peep. It might have been emotional if any of the other toys had a line in the film! Sadly they were hardly in it, I don't think Mr Potato Head had a single line so this part does not pull on the heart strings at all.
On its own, away from the franchise, it's an enjoyable enough film. The new characters are funny, it probably would have been better just to have introduced the new characters early, said goodbye to the old ones and start a new thread of toy story movies with a completely different cast maybe???
