Summary: Woody has always been confident about his place in the world, and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. So when Bonnie’s beloved new craft-project-turned-toy, Forky, declares himself as “trash” and not a toy, Woody takes it upon himself to show Forky why he should embrace being a toy.

So when Bonnie’s beloved new craft-project-turned-toy, Forky, declares himself as “trash” and not a toy, Woody takes it upon himself to show Forky why he should embrace being a toy.

This franchise has demonstrated an impressive ability to beat the odds and reinvent itself, over a span of time long enough for two generations to grow up in. It's a toy store of ideas, with new wonders in every aisle. Read full review

Toy Story 4 works overtime to find the humanity in all its characters, even the scary ones, despite the fact that it exists in a world of sentient toys and anthropomorphic garbage. That is not only endearingly sweet, but kind of wild. Read full review

You know the formula and frankly, it’s one of the best-working ones Hollywood still has: a fun-for-the-whole-family film. In a current market crowded with franchises and pricey theatrics, Toy Story 4 feels like a warm and welcome aside, spinning an epic yarn from an intimate vantage with all the amenities of Pixar’s supremely talented creators and animators.

This fourth Toy Story isn’t as essential as the previous films in the series, but there’s no denying the joy of seeing Woody and friends back in action, while once again it’ll likely leave you with a tear in your eye. Read full review

Toy Story 4 is genuinely gripping for most of the way, with just a couple of minor dips. But it arrives at a lovely place, with an embrace of life in all its danger and uncertainty. Read full review

It may only be a repeat of earlier ideas and plotlines, but compare it to the fourth films in other franchises and Pixar’s latest is an amusing and charming gem. Read full review

It hit me right where I live. These films (and Pixar's catalog as a whole) have always had elements aimed at a larger crowd than the children that are the target audience at face value, but this is the first one that seems so directly focused on those who grew up on with these characters. It actually feels like the kids might have been a little bit of an afterthought.

You can dive really deep into all of the stuff going on with the messages and morals. The movie has things to say about body image, suicide, and self-worth, all of which stems from the main theme of desiring romantic love. While it's pretty subtle with the darker, more complex stuff Toy Story 4 is a bit on the nose when it comes to the lesson of not giving up on finding someone. I mean there's a point where Woody literally says something along the lines of "there are other kids out there" in an obvious nod to the old saying "there are other fish in the sea."

I'll admit, I unfortunately have to count myself among the portion of the fan base this was trying to reach and I definitely felt like Pixar was beating me over the head with their message. Yet, I don't hold anything against the movie for that as it was strangely comforting to see the characters I grew up with suffering alongside of me. There's a catharsis to Toy Story 4's bluntness that allowed real emotion to pour out of me (I never full on cried, but tears did slip out of me). I may not agree with the final imparting that everything will end up being okay and someone will finally desire to be with me as to say that is ignoring the bitter harshness of reality, but this is a movie and an animated family one at that. Escapism is just part of the deal.

Of course on top of all that depth is a hilarious and sometimes harrowing ride. One that's gorgeously animated and perfectly voice acted. There's a real sense of danger running throughout that honestly made me think not all of these toys were going to make it out alive. The "villain" of the movie is one of the most sympathetic characters I've ever experienced. The very embodiment of what it feels like to shoot for love only to end up rejected time and time again. Every tear I shed was the result of literally being able to feel exactly what she and everyone else was going through. There's such a power to the writing hidden under the unassuming veneer of comedy and cuteness.

To think I went into this a little bit worried that it would undo the excellence of Toy Story 3 and it's ending. 4 however completely justifies its existence and concludes in a manner that's just as satisfying. It's hard to say how it stacks against its predecessors, but on its own rights it's an emotional and joyous adventure. One that made me laugh, absolutely wrecked me, and gave me the tools to help me put myself back together. Essentially everything I could ask for from another Toy Story.… Expand

Toy story 4 is a classic example of excellence.

I definitely won't be alone in saying how perfectly I felt the franchise's third installment seemingly concluded things for Woody, Andy, and the gang, with any mutterings of a potential fourth iteration being met with unadulterated skepticism and even derision on my part. But to be absolutely fair, this movie is terrific for the most part, with a lot of the emotionality really hitting home with me, and the animation pushing the needle even further into the realm of photorealism. This in mind, though, could I live with the hypothetical threat of someone "Eternal Sunshine-ing" this movie from the annals of my memory? Yeah, I'd be okay with it, I suppose. Can I say that for any of the other three installments? Personally, no. That's an issue for me, but to be sure, I understand the overwhelming praise. I just hope "Toy Story 4's" success doesn't act as a precedent that studios will use to justify other future exhumations of presumably dead franchises.… Expand

Toy Story 1 is my favorite movie of all time. This movie, however, is a disgrace to the Toy Story name and should not exist. Did not enjoy a single minute of it.
