"So Long, Partner......Or So We Thought"

Rating: 6/10 (22 June 2019)

As a fan of the Toy Story Franchise, I can't help to be disappointed at Toy Story 4. Don't get me wrong, the animation is still colorful, the voice acting is good, (both veterans and new-comers), and I did buy Woody & Bo's relationship throughout. But it came at the cost of an engaging story, and great character development; something that the first three films excelled at. Here, the writing tarnishes Woody, rushes Forky's arch, and has TOO much plot holes. The only new character I ended up liking was Duke Kaboom as the others provided little to nothing; and I hated how the recurring characters were terribly side-lined. At the end of the day, it just ends up being mildly decent at best, which isn't surprising due the many red flags in its production; but I gave it the benefit of the doubt that it would subvert my expectations. This is the best that they could do I guess.
