A Beautiful Ending To The Franchise

Rating: 8/10 (27 June 2019)

Summary: Toy Story 4 follows Woody, Buzz, Andy & all of the other toys who go on a road trip with Bonnie and Woody meets Bo-Peep there who is a lost toy. All of these toys discuss how the world can be so big for a toy.
My Thoughts:
Toy Story 4 is complex and satisfying ending to our three predecessors. The characters are all memorable here such as the nice new additions who get lots of humorous moments. Woody is better than ever as his character is nice and he's trying to find kids for other toys. His whole character understands how sad it can be for a toy to not be played with. He soon at the end of this film learns to let go of being played with and he leaves this past behind. Buzz Lightyear has a strong relationship with Woody now and his character also still has an emotional friendship with Bonnie. The New additions to the franchise all stood out such as Forky who first was very suicidal and his character thinks he's trash. His character soon realizes that Bonnie cares about him. He's used as a plot device though in this film. Ducky and Bunny are both humorous. Key and Peele are charming as they keep your attention with their energetic character's personality. Duke Caboom has his funny posing moment and Keanu Reeves fits this character.
The Themes are really deep here such as friendship which is shown between all of our characters and letting go of our toys which is what every kid soon has to do when they Grow up. The ending is emotional without killing characters off but Woody learns to let go of Bonnie and he's living his life at the barn with Bo-Peep. Both characters have let go. The characters have strong relationships with each other. The suicidal aspect though when Forky thinks he's trash is a lot for a G-Rated film which is a theme that kids won't fully understand.
The Climax is emotional and unexpected. It ends Woody's story and Bo-Peep's too. They both have retired from their past.
Overall, this is a great film that ended the franchise well but the 3 problems I had were that the suicide theme was a lot for a kids film, this film definitely is somewhat dependent on the first 2 like Toy Story 3 and Forky's used as a complete plot mechanism.
