Who needs character arcs?

Rating: 2/10 (15 August 2019)

Character development was thrown away from the previous three films to make way for the final installment. Buzz was a drone throughout the film, never showing his guts and making him foolish. Woody had blind loyalty and never gave up on his kid until this film. He had the heart to help the another toy but became a sacrifice lamb and then gives up on his kid at the end. Gabby Gabby is the villain and not misunderstood as Disney tries to make us believe. She kidnaps a toy, holds him ransom to steel something of Woody's, then we are made to feel sorry for her without any true reason. Not being played with because of a broken voice box does not make me feel bad for that character after she's created an evil scheme to fix her own problem. Most of the main characters/toys from the original films barely had a part. I figured with Bonnie, we'd have a lush story with her toys and Andy's but that was ignored.
Comical performances from Tony Hale, Key and Peele, and Keanu Reeves were enjoyable but not necessary to a film that lacked character structure and arc. Their comic relief was not suited for this film.
I personally won't consider this film as part of the canon. It ends on the third film beautifully. This film ruins the original three.
