Good, But Not As Good As The Last Three Films

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2020)

Yeah, Toy Story 4 was a movie no one expected, and it's good, even if it does not live up to the standards set by the first three films.
In this film, Woody is feeling left out of playtime, so sneaking into Bonnie's bag as she goes to school, he helps her with arts and crafts after a boy takes the supplies on her table, bringing in trash that Bonnie uses to create Forky, who comes to life. With Bonnie's family going on a road trip, Woody gets separated from the others trying to keep Forky from throwing himself out. Now he has to get Forky back to Bonnie, reuniting with Bo Peep while trying to avoid being caught by Gabby Gabby, a doll who wants his voice box.
Yeah, I can see how this film does not live up to the level the last three films set. Toy Story 3's ending was a good way to end the trilogy, and the plot sounds like it was something Pixar cobbled together because they didn't have any idea how to top that (as some scenes, like the one where Buzz is tormented by Bunny and Ducky, sounds like another plot idea that was forced in), but ti still gets your emotions like every other Pixar film. The voice cast for the last film returns (with Mr. Potato Head's voice being archived recordings of Don Rickles performing the character in other media), and even adds more big names (like Key and Peele as Bunny and Ducky, Keanu Reeves as Duke Kaboom, and even Carl Weathers as Combat Carl (reprising the role from the Toy Story of Terror TV special). Also, the animation is fluid, and the ending really get you where it feels the most, especially if you've seen the films up until now. This is worth checking out.
