Just a Little Unbelievable

Rating: 7/10 (29 June 2019)

It is a tradition in my household that when granddaughter visits, we go a movie together. Now she's 15 years old and tends to like scary movies but I asked her what she wanted to see and she said, without hesitation, "Toy Story 4".
Now I've never seen Toy Story 1, 2 or 3 but by all accounts, it's a great animation movie and hey, I was game.
As an aside, granddaughter has been planning attendance at another movie upon her return home. She wants to see "Annabelle", which is a creepy horror film. I suspect she didn't want Mom-Mom to see a scary film OR she didn't think I'd want to go.
I've never went to an animated film in which at least one character resembled somebody famous. In the case of "Toy Story 4" it was a character named Gabby Gabby who looked exactly like Katy Perry.
First, the very best thing about the movie....the animation.
Yes great characters, great drawing, great animation. Of course it's by Pixar, master of such things.
Now we discuss what wasn't so good about the movie....I thought it boring.
Further, while the toy characters were intriguing, to include an astronaut, Little Bo Peep and all her sheep, a Sheriff and other characters that intrigue...what the heck is it with that fork toy?
It seems that the main child character went to Kindergarten for the first time and created her first toy.
It involved a plastic fork that Bonnie (the girl child main character) created during her first school day. She affixed ugly fake eyes to the eyes, some kind of string for the mouth. It was cute for a kindergartener but hardly any sort of "toy" a child would lust over.
The premise of the movie is that the fork toy continues to dive into any close by trash cans because, well the fork thought it was trash, NOT a toy.
One more thing, don't bother with the 3D stuff. The animation is fine without it and not worth the extra money.
