I re-watched Toy Story 3 the other day, in preparation for the new installment. What a great movie it is - the previous ones as well, of course. I have high expectations for the new one.

All three Toy Story movies are phenomenal. I don’t see the point of this one being made, but I’ll probably see it.

The reviews I've seen have been exceptionally positive and some have them have said this movie will have a point in existing. I'm now more optimistic about though I'm also glad this will be the last Pixar sequel for a while.

I saw it today. It did find its own place without just being a retelling of its predecessors. It is a fitting conclusion to the overall story.

If it's better than Finding Dory or Monster's University (which I guess aren't technically bad but kind of 'meh') it's good to go.

TOY STORY PART 4 has the great animation, good performances and funny jokes we've come to expect from the franchise, but the ending is a complete betrayal. The previous 2 installments made the central theme clear: No matter the toys' fate, as long as they're together, everything will be alright for them. Here, WOODY leaves them. Yes, he chooses his love for BO, but why must he? This is the case of a script writer coming up with a new story direction and then adding new elements (BO not wanting an owner and BONNIE not wanting to play with WOODY) in order to make said direction possible. If you have to add those elements, then it's not as organic. Another recurring theme is that the love an owner gives to a toy outweighs the negative aspects (such as having to say goodbye to the kid). This sequel focuses a little more on the idea that a toy can have a big impact in a kid's life (including making them brave). That's interesting, but it also ends up adding to the problematic ending. WOODY is now part of a gang of toys who make sure other toys will have an owner (including BUNNY & DUCKY, even though they were desperately searching for a kid the whole movie and I expected them to go with BONNIE... what happened there?). Cool idea... for a stand-alone movie. And if that's going to be your justification for this ending, don't introduce this idea during the end credits scene, as if it was an afterthought. While we're on that subject, the movie began with BONNIE creating a new toy because she felt she couldn't make friends at kindergarten. The plot then becomes about a road trip with different subplots and BONNIE's issue isn't brought up again until another end credits scene, taking place when she's in 1st grade. She has made yet another toy for the same reasons. Isn't one of Pixar's rules that the adventurous and/or comedic sequences must be secondary to the personal problems, especially the everyday ones? Hell, there already was a Pixar movie that dealt with all this in a much better way. In the original movie, BUZZ LIGHTYEAR didn't realize at first that he was a toy, but he had the personality/thoughts/memories of a regular adult. It wouldn't have made sense back then for him to claim that he didn't know what an inner voice is, let alone confuse it with his voice box. The fact that it happens after being sentient for 10 or so years is mind-boggling! When the toys mess with the family's RV, a lot of chaos ensues and the cops show up. It's implied that BONNIE's parents told them the truth about it malfunctioning and that they thought "Well, they have a little kid inside, so it's unlikely they would do all this on purpose." That being said, they just leave. Shouldn't they have called a mechanic or something to take a look? We're talking about a dangerous and uncontrollable machine! 7/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog. |
