Good but slightly disappointing

Rating: 7/10 (23 June 2019)

An enjoyable movie but it doesn't live up to the others. Unfortunately, The main plot gets lost to the various sub plots. The regular cast is barely used, even Buzz has kind of a bit role. Buzz's side plot doesn't even make sense nor is it resolved (Hopefully, it's not set up for a 5th installment). We learned in the beginning of Toy Story 2 that Bo Peep was sold at a garage sale. But at the beginning of Toy Story 4 it shows Bo being given away after interacting with Jesse, who doesn't join the gang until the end of Toy Story 2. Ultimately, this retcon doesn't change anything but it does reflects the lazy incoherence of the EIGHT writers. Various moments throughout the film feel disjointed from the rest of the movie. Still, it has plenty of funny moments and action sequences to make it worth seeing. However, it fails to live up to the franchise.
