A joy but with caveats

Rating: 7/10 (15 July 2019)

I had a sense of trepidation going into this unexpected sequel but thankfully I was highly entertained & moved to tears at the end The movie looks gorgeous & has many inspired & laugh out loud moments. The main negative for me was the total sidelining of Buzz Lightyear, such a pivotal character in the previous 3 movies. I missed his presence & banter with Woody. An odd directorial decision. The plot is thin but with so many laughs & new characters the time passed quickly.
