If Toy Story 4...

Rating: 8/10 (1 August 2019)

I watched the first Toy Story movie when I was a kid. I watched Toy Story 3 before starting college.
And...I watched Toy Story 4 as an adult and it is good!
BUT, I feel like it could've been an historic film.
When I first heard there was going to be a fourth movie, I knew that the ending had to be about Woody and Buzz final adventure together.
When John Lasseter said he HAD to make a fourth one, this finale had to be the only option.
After the ending, of course we all cried...
I cried like a f#ing baby...
I mean... It's Woody and Buzz saying their last goodbye!!
But even though it is the perfect ending, I thought it was a little weak.
Here's why:
1- The final moment of this beloved toys lasts like 5 seconds.
I think I'm talking for everybody who grew up watching Toy Story, when I say that we wanted a longer goodbye between these two characters.
2- All the other main characters like Ham, Slinky, Rex, appear in the movie only for a short period of time and without that funny, interesting energy they had in the previous films.
3- Forky was a main character who, in my opinion, wasn't that funny and the viewer doesn't care too much if "he" is in danger or not. I like the idea of Bunny creating her own toy, but the idea of trash coming alive if you add feelings to it I think is a little weak.
4- They completely changed Bo Peep. We know that times are changing for good, but in this movie they really wanted to show it.
Bo Peep was turned into a "women empowerment" reference with her new "outfit" and all of those Tomb Raider action scenes and "I don't need Woody" anymore.
I'm not saying it was wrong, but I do believe it wasn't necessary.
5- Don't get me wrong, I really thought that in the final minutes of the film, a very romantic kiss between Woody and Bo Peep would happen.
And If someone told me: They're toys! What is wrong with you?
Let me remind you that, in the final scene of the first film we can notice that Woody and Bo clearly have a romantic relationship but they never completely show it.
If only...
If only Toy Story 4 would've had a longer goodbye between the characters, less Forky and the other unfunny characters...that kiss between Woody and Bo.
It would have been the best finale and yet historic ending of a Pixar movie ever made.
Thank you for reading.
