Potential is fully there, yet leaking fuel on the script level

Rating: 8/10 (13 July 2019)

The movie is strong as Disney's developmental psychology is always strong and funny as Disney knows so superbly to entertain.... but is this job done to hasty?
I loved the third installment as much as I can love Lion King or any other Disney production that brings psychology and popcorn-fun to the ultimate levels of a masterpiece.
This fourth one could have been there too, if it was not a bit clumsy. Theme's in the story are not worked out properly and some characters don't add to the premise. Some action-sequences miss sparkle etc...
But it is looking for nails on low tide. The movies is just great.
The strongest part for me was the 'creation' of forky. For me, being interested in spirituality and technique, Toy-story is closely connected to the ideas on robotics and the origins of our moral compass. For me it strongly dives into the mysteries of early creation and what responsibilities mankind has, once creation 'earlyl ife' on its own.
The 'inner-voice' theme, throughout the movie, playfully touches this question too. It seems to suggest a 'trial by error' kind of origin, which i don't believe but do like. It's american pragmatism, which is a refreshing counterpart to my too philosophical approach.
Anyway, if there will be ever a fifth installment I hope the brilliant and warm-hearted creators od Disney and Pixar take more time to create a fresh approach, with better character development. In the meanwhile I will remember the little kid next to me who just laughed it's little ass:-))
Maybe thats the most meaningful proof that this movie is worth an 8
