A Sequel to Far

Rating: 5/10 (2 December 2019)

My rule about movie franchises is unless it's Star Wars they should stop at 3 - if the Lord of the Rings can tell their story in a trilogy then any other franchise should be able to and that goes for the Toy Story movies too, and actually Toy Story 3 was a perfect ending to the trilogy, if the ending didn't make you cry you don't have a soul but Disney being Disney they had to go for more money and make another one - Toy Story 4 was Ok as its own movie although it pretty much rehashed the plot of the 1st three movies, and it was fun to see the characters again but it undercuts all the messages and good feelings from the first 3 films - at the end of Toy Story 3 Andy entrusted his favorite toy Woody to Bonnie as he went off to college, but instead of loving Woody she apparently just abandoned him in a closet to gather dust, so much for that feel good ending, Woody would have been better off going to college with Andy - and the guiding principles of Woody for the first 3 films were leave no toy behind and be loyal to your child but at the end of this movie Woody abandons his friends and leaves Bonnie to pursue romance with Bo Peep and be a lost toy with her - So after all he went through Woody doesn't care about a child's happiness anymore just his own and doesn't care that he is never going to see his friends again, the friends he abandoned Andy for? - really? - Toy Story 4 is a sequel we didn't ask for and didn't really need, you are better off keeping your good memories of the first three films and skipping this one.
