The New Generation will finally know how does it feel to be a kid again !

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2019)

The first time I watched this instalment I was little; we are talking about a seven-year-old kiddo who dreamt bit and could not stop thinking about toys and their unreal yet emotional impact on us. Once the third episode was broadcasted, I cried for hours because the epic animated trilogy, after fifteen years since its first release, did not only conclude my entire childhood, but it taught me so many lessons of life which I still practice to date.
One day though, I received a notification saying that the toys were back and a fourth movie was about to be announced. The news left me abrupted, as if a bitter sensation came into my heart. Something told me Pixar was scheduling a sequel due to the great amount of money collected during the so-called finale. Rubbish! How could anybody do such discreditable thing! I was infuriated, overall. The day came in and I knew that, as a cinephile, before disapproving a movie it was a mere responsibility to watch it first. A fun fact was the surrounded atmosphere of the cinema, everyone else was younger than eleven while I was the only fella who was almost eighteen years old. The opening scene gave the old audience a sense of nostalgia to the point I almost started crying out loud. The most beautiful memories of my life were brought back, the time stopped brusquely and I felt myself as that kiddo I used to be. Nothing has changed at all. I was laughing terribly, I was having fun, I was recalling some backstories and I was engaged with each moment of the movie.
Producing a movie with a vast content is not easy, somehow, it was perfectly balanced and displayed. The new characters as bunny, ducky, the Canadian-motorbike toy and Forky were outstanding. Each of them, committed their objectives in the most satisfying way: natural, original, comical, intrigant and mysterious. Our main character matured profoundly while our beloved toy gang stayed fresh and interactive. Bo-Peep and her three adorable sheep overwhelmed the audience and, at some point, empowered the twentieth-first century women genuinely. No more forced Captain Marvel's style. The villain was well-developed with an emotional flashback.
I realised everything in a matter of minutes, it brought me back so many experiences. Maybe, after all, Pixar is giving its best shot at directing while providing strong values. I love it! (89/100)
