The critics are loving and praising this latest Pixar film. Since then it’s since dropped to a commendable 97%. Rotten Tomatoes rated Toy Story 4 at 100% Fresh earlier in the week. In every single other Toy Story movie before it. I think Toy Story 4 just missed the mark of good storytelling in its efforts to wrap up a, well, story that already had a near flawless finish. Maybe I went in with too many expectations. Maybe I got my hopes up too high by re-watching the others in preparation to see this installation. And this is coming from a person who loves the first three Toy Story movies.
It's got all the heart and beauty and enough of the comedy to be a worthy entry in this franchise.You’re going to hear a lot of good things about Toy Story 4, just maybe not as many from me. It's not a part of the story I wanted, but now that it's here I'm glad I got it. I haven't even talked about Forky, he's a spectacular new entry. Toy Story 4 doesn't quite feel as polished as some other Pixar films, but it's still an incredibly solid film with characters we love and some new ones that are a lot of fun. And yeah that ending, it broke me, honestly I was holding it together fine but there is a line from Buzz that comes at the end that if you're not crying yet, you will. Here, they expand on her a lot while still keeping the essence of her character, and she becomes on of the most interesting characters in this whole franchise through her arc.
The return of Bo Peep I found an interesting choice, but she wasn't the most dynamic character in the first two films. The villain for example does not have your standard Toy Story villain ending, and without diving too deep into spoilers it's kind of a tearjerker. It visits a lot of familiar territory, but does so in some new ways. It's more about the emotions than the comedy, the story really is Woody's story, and despite being unnecessary it does take the Toy Story story into a new direction. But even these issues I can kind of justify. My only real issues with Toy Story 4 are that it could have been funnier, a lot of the other characters are sidelined for Woody and Bo's story, and how it's ultimately kind of unnecessary.
