Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2019)

WOW how far Toy Story has come!!!
I've grown up with these film's the same as Andy grew up with his Toys about the same time & age, so this franchise & it's wonderful characters mean so much to me, as i really did grow up with them, "Toy Story" was such a big part of my childhood that it's had a huge impact on me & as an adult (A 35yr old man) i feel attached to that little gang a good-hearted Toys!!!
I'm very emotionally invested in this beautiful franchise of fantasy & magic.
It's a lovely Nostalgic comfort hearing the great voice of movie legend "Tom Hanks" back as Woody, i love Hanks & i know he's more loved now for his brilliant serious performances but to me it was his funny & goofy roles that have always stayed with me from such CLASSIC 80's films as "Dragnet 1987" & "The 'Burbs 1989" both huge films to me growing up in the 90's as i constantly watched these two on video over & over again, then came the first Toy Story in 1995 & blew me away & those three "Hanks" movies are so special to me & each has a special spot in my heart as well as on my all time favourite movies list.
Toy Story '95 was way,way ahead of it's time & blew me away with it's ground-breaking animation & Amazing characters.
Woody was always my favourite & I've watched him grow as a thinking, good hearted character through the films.
All 4 movie's are instant CLASSIC's & that's special for a franchise!!!
Toy Story 3 was BEAUTIFUL, i was an emotional wreck by the end of that & it ended perfectly.
But here we are back again for Toy Story 4 & it's ok because the film is absolutely Brilliant & is the most visually stunning of the whole franchise!!!
It's lovely to see our old friends again, the Gang are back & a few new characters are introduced.
The animation has advanced to perfection.
This story is about woody really & how he feels lost & not needed anymore, it's handled beautifully & touching, Toy Story 4 is the most grown-up & most serious of the series & often creepy & a mood of sadness hangs over the movie.
Toy Story 4 brings back Bo peep & tells her story as well as tell woody's dilemma & introduces a new character for the gang called "Forky"
There's a sweet love story in here too, Woody & Bo Peep & it's beautiful, i was an emotional wreck at the end as it's really saying goodbye to this wonderful franchise we all grew up loving, a masterpiece movie & my favourite of the franchise.
I do really appreciate the darker & creepier tone to this sequel, at times with the creepy ventriloquist dummies in the old antiques store, it's like stepping into "Goosebumps" territory with "Slappy" it's got an old school Nostalgic Horror quality & i loved it.
There's a few little stories entwined together but mainly this is Woody's story & his movie.
There's some fun stuff here, mostly with Woody trying to look after forky like a father & his kid.
The basic story is the gang of Toys go on a road trip with Bonnie & her parents & end up meeting some strange characters at a fun fare & old antique shop.
There's a sense of something big is gonna happen in it's atmosphere whenever woody is on screen, There's a change coming & you can feel it.
I felt Toy Story 4 was also the darkest of the franchise, it dealt with real emotion coming from Woody.
Woody feels so lost & lonely, he doesn't feel wanted anymore & doesn't have a purpose anymore!!!
He doesn't get played with & is feeling the loss.
What do Toys do when they don't have an owner anymore?
What do they do if they never get played with?
There's some emotional questions for the toys.
Woody also acts like a father figure to Forky which is funny & touching at the same time!!!
This sweet heart-felt movie has so much beautiful little moments & scenes, it's a special film in an outstanding franchise & i would say part 4 is the best & is on a different level in some respects.
Toy Story 4 is another beautiful film in the outstanding franchise, it's beautiful to look at & full of emotion.
If you grew up watching & loving these films then part 4 will hit you hard at the end!!!
Now this great film part 4 didn't need to be made, as part 3 ended beautifully but I'm so glad this got made because it really does carry on the story to another logical conclusion & still with an impactful ending that is both very sad & at the same time very sweet, it will bring tears to the eyes.
The new characters are fun with the likes of "Bunny" "Ducky" & "Forky" & some other's but those 3 stand out the most & have the most to do.
"Gabby Gabby" the old doll is a sort of villain type with a sad story & there's some creepy ventriloquist dummies that are her henchmen.
The big old Antique shop setting is stunning in it's look & detail, There's such an exciting old style atmosphere whenever the Toys are there.
Like part 3, this film has a big heart & emotional scenes that made me cry like a baby!!!
I think this is my favourite of the franchise? Or maybe that's because it's so fresh & new? But it is excellent even though the original Toy gang all take a back seat for this film, even Buzz is basically a minor character here but it's ok because this film gives us so much else to focus on.
Toy Story 4 is an instant CLASSIC.
I absolutely loved watching this with my wife & kids who all loved it.
A lovely & bittersweet ending to an incredible franchise that is loved so much, especially by me.
I've loved all these films & it's one beautiful epic fantasy franchise.
