Keanu Reeves not only saved E3, but also saved the blockbuster summer this year, huh. This movie is amazing, enough said.
Also, I'm glad they're trying to embrace a new genre that is horror
Incredible ending to an incredible series of movies.
Tops Toy Story 3 for the most emotional ending so bring tissues!
Visually stunning with a star-studded cast that doesn't disappoint, but I wasn't blown away in any way. It just can't stand up to the original trilogy. It's unoriginal and was sometimes oddly written. The original heart and soul gang of toys (including Buzz) was simply left out of the plot. The main new character introduced was very bizarre and left me puzzled. And the focus was directed a bit too much on Beau and her three creepy sheep. I adore this franchise and it wasn't bad by any stretch of the mind, but I was bored and underwhelmed at times.
Gotta say, unlike most people, I went into this film expecting it to be outstanding. And I wasn't disappointed in the slightest.
Toy Story films, unlike most other franchises, have come to be held at this higher standard than most other animated films. Now, it could be argued that Pixar in general is like that as well, but Toy Story specifically has always been that one franchise that Pixar knows they absolutely can not fuck up, and I would definitely make the argument that this movie is just as good as the other films in this franchise.
This film is absolutely radiating with the heart, soul, and energy that has been put into the other films. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen give amazing performances as always, and upon two viewings in the theater, I can definitely say that this film has little to no issues with me personally. Pacing was great, animation is downright beautiful at times, and the humor is probably the best in not only the series, but some of Pixar's best overall, rivaling my personal favorites such as Monsters Inc and The Incredibles.
10/10 film
Well, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either. Or at least not AS GOOD as the third. It felt like the makers wanted to play safe with this one, even though it had many emotional scenes (in the end, Woody will leave Bonnie, his new kid, behind and rescue toys with Bo). The truth is that, as I kept watching, the story felt like a Woody and Bo Beep movie, a sort of spinoff and not a real sequel to the third. The new characters have so little screen time... even Forky! And everything should revolve around him! This happens when you want to introduce too many characters in such little time, as well as keep exploring the old ones (like what purpose had the little Polly Pocket friend of Bo? What's the dummies' story?).
As I said it wasn't bad, it just didn't exceed expectations and I think it wasn't a useful sequel.
Sure, it was cute. Sure, it was fun. But I still don't know why we needed it. The trilogy ended perfectly and I thought that for them to add a 4th movie it would have to be big. There would have to be a good reason. And this whole movie essentially focuses on Woody getting his girlfriend back, and that to me just didn't justify a whole new movie. Buzz wasn't the same old Buzz, there wasn't the humor of the 3rd one, and I'm just not convinced we needed this one. And, I was secretly hoping a married Andy would show up at the carnival with a pregnant wife and take Woody home for his kids.
Can't believe I actually cried over the ending :(
It’s great to see woody and the gang again along with introducing a new cast of toys. I love forky! I’m never growing up, I’ll definitely be watching animation to the end because it never fails to amaze me and put a smile on my face. I thought the plot was fun with lots of comedy that had me in giggle fits at times and plenty of action and even hit the emotional side with its deep parts, specially when I’ve grown up with them toys. I’d definitely welcome a 5th because I feel it would never get old or even a series. Pixel have done a good job on this one. XD
Toy Story 3 had a perfect ending, but as it turns out it wasn't the perfect ending. The bar was high and, somehow, they've managed to reach it with possibly the riskiest sequel in history.
It was a nice watch, but ultimately is an unecessary movie and feels like a cash grab and another way to sell toys.
The gags are funny and new caracters introduced are charming. But at the end of the day it does not feel like that classic that I will watch over and over again, like the previous movies.
The ending is the best part I think, but I do not agree it is better or as good as the third one.
Also with such a great cast of caracters already developed, seeing them get close to no screen time is a let down.
Overall recommend a watch if you are a fan, but dont expect much originality and it wont feel like a classic as the others
Knifey: “How am I alive?”
Forky: “I don’t know.”
‘Toy Story 4’ is a lighthearted adventure that neatly wraps up the perfect character arc, which is light years better than the third, in my opinion. However, in spite of that, I’m still questing why this fourth entry exist, because everything else is paper thin.
Lets start off with the merits: I know saying the animation is amazing isn’t anything new when it comes to Pixar - a company that’s constantly involving with every entry. It’s the same with as saying “Meryl Streep is great in...”, type of situation but needs addressing ever time. I liked how beautifully polished every character and environment looked, which gave the movie a certain quality in richness. There’s a scene at the beginning involving rain that’s close to photo-realism and a clear growth in the animation department. I mean, the difference based on the plastic looking models back in 1995.
Perhaps my favorite character in the entire movie was Duke Caboom played by the breathtaking Keanu Reeves. Despite the little screen, Reeves manages to bring some much charisma and enjoyment to the character it was hard for me not to smile. I was surprised that a few people didn’t realise it was Keanu, but then again he’s casting wasn’t anything secretive if you’re like me that follows announcements on upcoming movies. Anywhere, I could tell Keanu was having a blast with this role and it seems very fitting considering Reeves stunt work.
I was shocked, yet glad that the character of Forky wasn’t as disposable as I originally thought. Surprisingly the main message of purpose and suicide came from Forky’s dilemma...no joke, well that’s how I interpret it. It’s something you don’t pick up on, but you’re brain did.
The funniest aspect of the movie came from Bunny and Ducky played by Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key, especially the plan scene where the visual comedy was used effectively for laughs. I thought they were going to be so annoying based on the trailers, but I was relieved that they had some good material for the jokes and punchlines to be funny.
It’s great to see the old gang back together with some welcoming new faces. Although I feel like the old gang got pushed to side characters this time around. Even Buzz didn’t seem to be himself and got backtracked to do absolutely nothing through out the movie. I know there’s a lot of characters and it be difficult to juggle so any, but if we’ve learned anything from ‘Infinity War’ is that it may seem impossible until it’s done.
I’ll give the movie credit for not having any villains, as it would’ve been unneeded and a cheap trick to add dramatic tension.
However, despite the welcoming return and facing new conflict, but everything else has less to desire. I wasn’t quite emotionally involved as I should’ve been, yet at the end, I didn’t hit me as the movie intended. If I have to be honest, after seeing this a few weeks ago, I’m struggling to remember certain scenes. This movie existing is unnecessary as everything felt made up on the spot which I think is the reason why it didn’t emotionally connect with me like the previous three did.
A big step down for the franchise, but family and children will enjoy it no matter what, and that ain't a bad thing.
Overall rating: “I’m trash”
This was maybe not necessary, but it gives the serie a better end than the third.
the scenario is good, the art is (as always) excellent and you will spend a good time watching it, laughing and following the toys' tricks and mishaps !
I agree with everyone who says that the third movie was the perfect ending to the series, yet I can't say that I didn't like "Toy Story 4". Actually, it's quite impressive for an unnecessary sequel driven by marketing strategies. It extends the themes of the previous movies without getting too repetitive, and the new characters managed to keep the mood fresh. Its bittersweet tone should appeal to all of us who grew up with the franchise and are starting to feel inadequate and left behind in an ever-changing world like these characters. It still manages to be much fun for both kids and grown-ups, without excessively leaning to either side.
The film's only contradiction is that despite the nostalgic vibes and all the reverence for the previous movies, it kind of messed up with its original message and the intrinsic relationship between toys and children. "Toy Story 3" ended with the toys being passed over to the next generation ready to enjoy new adventures together, while now they suddenly got independent and ready to leave just to satisfy their own interests. Hardcore fans might also get displeased by how the original group gets treated here: Buzz in particular felt like a whole different character and a little dumb at times. Even though I must confess, as I am no hardcore fans I didn't mind about these reinterpretations and updates to the formula.
I would have loved Toy Story 4 so much more if it wasn't for this insistent need to end up paring TOYS. Can we stop trying to fit a romantic arc in every goddamn narrative, even children's oriented?
Not entirely necessary, but 'Toy Story 4' still produces goods worthy of being attached to the initial trilogy.
Tom Hanks, I'm sounding like a broken record but..., is still tremendous as Woody, I love hearing his voice in this role. Tim Allen is solid as Buzz Lightyear, but I kinda feel they don't use him - or the other originals - enough considering who they are. It is, though, cool to see an old face return in Bo Peep (Annie Potts).
There are some more new characters and yet again, like in the past films, they strike the right chords. Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are, entirely unsurprisingly, funny in the roles of Ducky & Bunny. Christina Hendricks is a good Gabby, while Keanu Reeves amuses as Duke Caboom.
The film focuses on giving the viewer(s) extremely heartfelt moments and for the vast majority it hits as intended, though they do try to tug on the heart too much in parts. The animation is stunning, especially in the early scene with RC.
Is it a thing everyone wanted? Most probably not. Yet is there fun to be had? Most definitely. For a third sequel, you gotta give respect to Pixar & Co.
[8.4/10] Toy Story started with a simple premise -- what if toys had lives and sentience and wants and wishes, even and especially when their owners weren’t in sight? That was more than enough to sustain a movie, a great one even, without raising too many questions. Buzz and Woody vied for Andy’s affections, and that sufficed.
But nearly twenty-five years and three installments later, it’s become hard for the franchise to evade not only those nagging questions, but the quiet tragedy they imply. Toy Story 2 examined the plight of toys whose owners outgrow them. Toy Story 3 tackled that idea head-on to even more devastating and heartening effect. And Toy Story 4 takes several of those disquieting thoughts, implied by the first movie’s conceit, head on.
How do toys gain life? If their self-worth and sense of who they are is so bound up in “having a kid,” how do all the playthings who inevitably go out of style cope? And what of the toys with defects, or those who are lost, or those who simply become out of date? These are questions for either philosophers or inveterate nerds with too much time on their hands. Still, extended so far from that original idea, the fourth entry in the Toy Story mythos tackles those queries, with the subtlety, sweetness, humor, and tinge of sadness that Pixar is known for.
It circles around the first question with the advent of Forky, a hastily assembled, kindergarten art project made of pipe cleaners, googly eyes, and most importantly, a spork. It explores the second question through the return of Bo Peep who, after a heartbreaking separation in the cold open, has made a life of her own as a self-actualized, self-dependent “lost toy.” And it digs into the third question through Gabby Gabby, a talking doll with a defective voice box whose greatest wish in life is to fix it, by any means necessary, and win the love of the little girl who wanders into her antique shop.
Along the way, Toy Story 4 doesn't just introduce new characters and seek out the wisdom of the sages for dolls and collectibles; it enjoys all the usual fun and excitement that the franchise includes in each outing. Toys are lost, necessitating grand, elaborate rescues. New, less dramatically-freighted friends arrive to bring in more fluffy, imaginative comic relief. Parents are stalled (in some cases, nigh-literally), daring escapes are made, and brilliant set pieces in RVs and second hand shops and dazzling carnivals come to life as well as the toys do.
The movie stays nimble through all of this, balancing its weighty, almost world-breaking concerns with the sort of madcap fun that the series is known for. As in the first movie, Toy Story 4 doesn't shy away from Woody’s psychological state at no longer being the toy in the spotlight, but it also perfects his rag doll movements as he sprints and scampers through an increasingly detailed human world. The movie embraces the horror of ventriloquist dummies birthed in the uncanny valley, while taking time out to laugh with a kid-spurned Canadian stuntman action figure. It hints toward the hardship of losing friends and moving on from your kid, while also showing Bo Peep as a capable, resourceful go-getter after taking a backseat for so long.
Amid those questions, that graphical brilliance, and that uproarious irreverence, Toy Story 4 hits on its salient themes. Chief among them is the sense that Woody gets so obsessed with his one goal, and by extension his own needs, that he won’t listen to anyone else. He has to supersede Dolly’s authority for the toys in Bonnie’s closet. He won’t stop and follow Bo Peep’s plan when trying to rescue Forky, and puts his friends and allies in danger. And he declares that he’ll never leave a toy behind while ignoring Buzz raising that he’s being left behind. The movie plays like a social critique, with Woody only succeeding when he defers to his friends and admits that others might no better than him.
But there’s also a strong undercurrent of parenthood, empty nester energy, and even grimmer things at play. While the conceit of the movie series is toys devoted to their owners, Woody’s exasperation and avowed sense of purposelessness puts him in line with parents who struggle with the fact that their children have grown up. Forky’s incessant “why” questions, his runaway impulses that require constant vigilance, and diminutive height even give Woody another youngin’ to look after. His arc in the film is about accepting that he has purpose, and that his life has value, apart from the vaunted state of “having a kid.”
By contrast, Bo Peep embodies the parent who’s accepted that growth and leaving the nest as a natural part of life and found meaning apart from children (despite her continued devotion to her sheep). But the other dark reflection of this idea is Gabby, who seems to represent the adults who are unable to have children, and the envy and pain that comes with that. Maybe that’s a stretch. The metaphor breaks down in places, and you have to read Gabby’s triumphant scene as something like adoption. Still, Toy Story 4 is channeling those same sorts of notions and emotions, even if it doesn't line up one-to-one with the events of the film, and it gives them added resonance.
Regardless of what theme do or don’t track with the film’s narrative, one of the strengths of the Toy Story franchise is how it’s always been invested in character relationships. Toy Story 4 carries that over, finding power in the separation, rocky reunion, and eventually coming together of Woody and Bo Peep. There’s a choice to find solace and freedom in that sort of sustaining connection, rather than in the sort that doesn't quite fit you anymore, and whether you read it as text or subtext, their re-romance is a touching and moving one.
That’s what’s so great about the Toy Story movies. You can appreciate them on the level of pure fun, like the joys of running gags about Buzz listening to “the voice inside him” or Bunny and Ducky’s imagined ridiculous schemes. You can enjoy it as a simple adventure about lost and rescued toys amid a family road trip. You can appreciate the deeper themes about purposelessness or not allowing others to lead. And you can even dive into existential questions of what it would be like to be a living toy.
Four movies in, and this franchise is still not resting on its laurels, still not simply allowing another numeral after the title to excuse a cheap cash-grab sequel. Each new movie in the series expands those basic ideas that Toy Story began with, which started as the simple tale of a fight for one boy’s love, and ends here with self-actualization and purpose apart from it. Or at least it ends that way for now, until another decade passes and Pixar delivers a meditation on death or reincarnation or some other spiritual quest, told through stuffed felt and molded plastic, and becomes somehow all the more piercing for it.
It's a fitting end to the character of Woody. It would be interesting to see if a Toy Story 5 would be announced,but it would be totally senseless if Woody returns, it would kill the whole reason for this particular movie. Am definitely waiting for a Woody, Bo Peep Spin-off with the new Disney+ service rolling out. Hoping that they won't spoil what they have built, Fingers Crossed.
how does toy story always gets a way to make me sad??? anyway just loved it. also the animation quality!!! omg almost a live action
One thing Toy Story always managed to do better than every other animation is giving those characters heart and soul and really making them come to live. So, with all the fun Toy Story has also been an emotional journey. This is no different. And they always bring in some interesting, new toys.
Despite all of that, I hope this will be the last one. Because you can't have a better end than this.
Woody and the gang embark on one last adventure in Toy Story 4. While on a road trip with her parents Bonnie losses her new favorite toy that she made in preschool and Woody attempts to get him back, and along the way he reunites with Bo Peep, who’s joined a traveling carnival. Most of the original cast returns along with several new additions, including Christina Hendricks, Tony Hale, and Keanu Reeves. Once again the series takes on some very poignant themes, but it isn’t quite as nuanced as in previous films and comes off as kind of talky and heavy handed. The lack of a strong villain is also problematic. However, the comedy is incredibly well-done and delivers a lot of laughs. But it also has a lot of heart. Though it’s not as strong as some of the other entries in the franchise, Toy Story 4 is a fun and heartwarming family film.
Hangs in there with the other Toy Story movies. Perhaps not as good as 1 or 3, but better than 2—that being said, this is an amazing conclusion(?)to a series that hasn't had a bad entry. Every one of them offers something new.
Forky is amazing and the Woody's arc is great here.
I think that a quarter of toys with life is too much, I get the impression that they were short of feelings to demonstrate, that technique of a sentimental face with a background opera music gave good results in the past, but I personally already they bored Maybe the fifth part is buzz going to space to find your planet. I did not like it, bored, empty and without anything new.
Like a lot of people when I heard about Toy Story 4 I immediately thought, they do not need this and will it be an awful instalment to fine film series that was not needed.
In my view there was no need to worry, Toy Story 4 is certainly good enough and strong enough on its own to sit next to the original three and hold its head high.
Needless to say, the attention to detail in the stunning animation and realised scenarios is exemplary and up to Pixar’s highest level. The only thing that could really ruin the legacy would be the story. Hats tipped to the writers Stanton and Folsom (this could be two prisons) who had to come up with something different from the previous stories and to my mind they managed this by concentrating entirely on the toys. This is about Woody and his friends, the need for the love of a child, letting go of the past and moving on a nice simile for adults after the children move on in some ways. All of course wrapped in an exciting and fun adventure.
The story itself is fairly simple with a villain who cleverly starts off seemingly being a simple rehash of Lotso from Toy Story 3 but in the end proves to have more depth and true motivation than any number of real human characters in much more serious films. Gabby Gabby is superbly voiced by Christina Hendricks.
Also for an animated Toy Story film they probably have some of the scariest henchmen I’ve seen in while in any film.
The voice acting, as per usual is spot on and fully believable but it has to be said that the entire story is nearly stolen by Duke Caboom played with relish by Keanu Reeves. A lovable daft Canadian Evil Knievel toy that was hilariously accurate in the portrayal of how the toy it apes was. Reeves had me in fits of loud and embarrassing laughter that caused my granddaughter to be cringe and redden in the dark.
All that can be said is that Toy Story 4 is a Toy Story film and anyone who is worried about how it measures up against the previous three need not worry.
Perhaps though this should be the final one – time to find new stories with new adventures and characters to explore.
Toy Story 4 is a fun time for entire family.
It actually feels more like Toy Story 3.5, more of the same. And that is not necessarily a bad thing. It had some teachable moments there too, but it sort of contradicted itself somewhat for the sake of the plot.
Regardless 8/10 it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it is good enough.
Absolutely loved this movie. With four solid movies, Toy Story is by far the best animation saga ever imo
Wow, it was funny, heartbreaking, and the animation was top notch. I personally loved it however I would have preferred a different ending.

It's Called Loyalty Something A Lost Toy Wouldn't Understand
Forky Wait Who's Watching The Doors
It's great spending more time with characters we love and getting some new awesome characters like Duke Caboom, Forky, Bunny and Ducky. It's crazy how well this movie's are written. It's funny and emotional and ended perfectly. I thought the last one was a perfect send off but so is this one.
I really like this movie, more than Toy Story 2, but less than 1 or 3.
Ok, I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. I wasn't too sure about yet another Toy Story movie, with part 3 being so perfect. But this, despite the main cast of toys not having much to do, did open up some new philosophical insights in their toy lives. And went into some new directions with how toys see and experience the world. It's not as 'good' as the third one, but it is incredibly hard to follow up such a masterpiece. Despite that, I think the story was really good and they did a great job! It made me cry a couple of times, so that is always a good sign for me.

I am Forky repeatedly throwing myself in the trash knowing that I am garbage
Nice ending. Nothing too special and not much I complain about. Solid movie. 8/10
A great send-off to one of the best movie series and characters in this franchise. While some people may say this movie was unnecessary, I believe this movie truly concluded the character arc Woody has been on since Toy Story 1.
I didn't think this movie needed to exist, but after watching, it has been proven worthy of existing. Worst in the series, but not bad at all.
This is my new favorite Toy Story movie (previously it was the 2nd). IMO it's also the one where the CGI and animation improvements where the most noticeable. Bo is now my favorite character. Apart from her new (badass) personality it was pretty fun to watch her dash around with her cape and shepherd's crook. And I liked the special Pixar logo intro (fun + immediately showcased the CGI improvements via the rain) and ending (they've nailed it and my man (the 3rd Combat Carl) finally got his high five xD).
Also: Debian Forky when? :D
I finally watched Toy Story 4, and while it had its thoroughly enjoyable moments, overall, it just didn't sit right with me. So, I spent like at least an hour, maybe more, reading through other people's thoughts in the reviews on IMDb to see if anyone else was feeling the same as me. It felt so validating to see that I'm not alone.
Watching this made me realize that really maybe the only "problem" with the third one was that there was no closure about Bo Peep. I liked the movie, but was definitely bothered; then after seeing this fourth movie I can see how it truly was such a perfectly fitting ending to the series, at least outside the missing Bo. It just completely broke my heart to think Woody and her would never see each other again. As I remember it, it was briefly implied in the third movie that she was accidentally "lost" somehow. (I will note that I've seen the first and second Toy Story movies at least a few times and the third one only once.) It's shown in this fourth movie that she gets sold but that she's nearly rescued from being taken and then decides herself that she wants to leave. It was really odd to see her do that. Odd enough that I was expecting it to not be real somehow? For the story to go on to change and for that to not be what really happened? I don't know. It just didn't compute. It felt out of character. And that's the problem I have with this movie as a whole; Bo Peep, Woody, Buzz, and even the kiddo, Bonnie; they all do things that don't fit what the previous movies had created.
I thought that maybe Bo Peep would announce regret with her decision when reuniting with Woody, because I mean, it was Bo Peep and Woody! Their love wasn't some main plot of the first two (three) movies, but they were a thing and a simply wonderful thing at that. But no, she was really happy with her new life she'd created without belonging in a household to any one kid. She had changed as a person. (As a toy? Whatever.) Woody hadn't. Woody was still very obviously the same ole Woody. So, at the end of the movie when he decides to leave his friends and his current kid behind to stay with her living a completely different life that he would never have even vaguely considered before, that's just absurd to me. In my mind, he'll later realize he was just still stuck in the past with his feelings for her, and realize it was actually best to move on from her; but at least finally knowing that she was okay, and happy. But he will be unhappy because he belongs with his friends (essentially his family!) being loved and played with endlessly by generations of kids. Seeing him help get carnival toys to kids was a nice touch there at the end, but it doesn't fix things. I don't see why they changed Bo's character alone like that and then forced them together as they did. It just does not work. If anything, I expected her to realize she missed that life and to go back with him; having had her taste of adventure/freedom. (Or just not go back with him and they both be content with seeing each other once again.) Yes, people change, and maybe you could say Woody had, but no; he hadn't! He spent the entire movie proving that!
So, that was my biggest issue with the film. They brought Woody and Bo back together, but mega stupidly. On to other stuff. Poor Buzz! It's like all his previous character development was thrown away. He was acting more like he was fresh out of the box again with all the button pressing to "listen to his conscious." It was mildly amusing, but just not right. As far as Bonnie goes, the third movie ended with her being given Andy's toys and it being heavily implied that she would take very good care of them as Andy had. That's what made it okay. Really heart wrenchingly bittersweet, but okay! She was going to love Woody much like Andy had but it doesn't look like that lasted for very long. In the first film, even when Buzz became Andy's new favorite toy he still involved Woody in playtime to an extent, didn't he? Hmm, I'll need to re-watch to know for sure. It kind of made sense to me that Bonnie (as a girl) would want to make Jessie the sheriff, but I don't think it was all that fitting that she'd just toss Woody in the closet and not play with him at all. It was fitting, however, that Woody still cared enough about Bonnie to do all he could to make sure she was okay going to school. He was simply jealous in the first movie because he'd always been number one, but he'd grown and was all about making his kid happy even if it wasn't directly him doing that as he'd prefer. So he was working his tush off to keep Forky safe and with her because he knew that would make her happy, even though it obviously hurt him that she'd been neglecting him entirely.
Another issue was Gabby Gabby. She started off as a totally terrible villain wanting to just forcefully take what wasn't hers. Then suddenly when she had Woody in her grasp and she was probably going to take his voice box regardless of how he felt about it, she just calmly explained how she hadn't felt she'd had a chance at being loved as Woody had and he understood and accepted. She could have done that to begin with maybe? (I know, the story needed drama; just further explaining a point. Plus, there are other ways to get that drama in.) Woody is a great and giving character and while I'm not sure he would have immediately been on board, I think he'd at least been willing to think about it; especially with an offer of helping him. (Think of what he was willing to do for Jessie and Bullseye previously.) You can't be explicitly horrible to someone and then expect them to just give in to your needs solely because you've had it worse than them. And there was like no reaction to the fact that he did just that! As someone else wrote, it was glazed over as if his sacrifice after all that was nothing. Besides, there are dolls that don't even have pull strings or voice boxes and are plenty loved. There's no reason there wouldn't have been a kid out there that would have played with her anyway! I know it was a plot point and I get it, but still. If I'm going to pick it apart, might as well go there too. And wow, Harmony, what a burn! I did not see that coming.
Parts I liked: Forky was fun. It was hilarious hearing him scream "trash" and make mad dashes to throw himself away. The wild RV "ride" towards the end of the movie was great! That stuff was hilarious.
As many others pointed out, we missed the other past characters! They had such little screen time. That was unforgivable considering the goodbye. I didn't agree with others saying that the dummies were too creepy for a kid's movie. Just think back to Sid's toys!
More than once I saw people saying that how the third should have ended was Andy keeping his toys in the attic to pass on to his own kids, and while that's a lovely thought, don't forget how terrified Jessie and Bullseye were of going back into storage in the second movie! They had already spent so much time there and it was miserable for them. It was better for them to be played with and not put away. It hurt our hearts, yeah, but it was appropriate. The reason I was looking forward to this fourth installment was knowing Bo would be back, but I don't feel it was worth it.
Ya know, I don't recall that Bo Peep was part of a lamp, but I'd need to watch the first two again to see if that's shown, even vaguely, anywhere. Yes, the visuals were fantastic in this fourth movie, but it's how it made me feel that matters. And the "less" visually appealing prior ones touched my heart in the best ways. This fourth one just feels like such a disservice to all those amazing characters and their development and love for each other before. Watching this and having all these feelings stirred up in me makes me very strongly want to watch the first three again; maybe in marathon form!
I wish this one could just be tossed and redone; the right way.
The film has scenes that made me cry, very good and exciting.
Bo is such a badass.
forkie forkie forkie...dissapointed terrible awfull
Untill when will Disney and Pixar gonna' make me weep.
And I thought Toy Story 3 was a tears pump.
totally whoa.
I liked #4 more than #2 or #3. It was fun and sweet.
Toy Story 3 was the end of Andy's story. Toy Story 4 was the end of Woody's. not as great as the first 3, but still pulled at my heartstrings.
Not a bad movie in any way but it just feels unnecessary after the third one. Waay too many characters and key & peele underused. It is stunning visually but Pixar should put their resources on trying something new or being bolder with the franchise.
Toy story was a huge part of my life growing up, my parents were sick of hearing it because I'd be watching it all the time. To be in my early 20s and have the opportunity to watch a fresh installment is a gift in itself, and the movie was simply outstanding.
These characters are very close to me, and even though I believe toy story 3 had a good ending and would've been a suitable place to end the franchise, this movie proved me wrong, and made me cry in doing so. I'm so grateful that I was able to experience this as I don't know whether I'll get another one, ever again.
Also forkys character was brilliant, so lovable and laughable, they seem to have nailed every new character for this film, good job!
Of course this might be me wearing Rose tinted glasses as the franchise means so much to me, but nevertheless, I highly recommend this film.
To infinity and beyond.
:cry::cry::cry: To...:cry::cry::cry: Infinity ......
This movie is great!!!!! If you like this kind of funny, animated dramas, just watch it! Even the end I think was perfect. 9/10
"Heartwarming, funny, and beautifully animated."
I'm high as shit and trying to find the plot and reviews for IP Man 4 in the Movie Mate app, but all I got is Toy Story 4. I had to read the plot more than once to realize it's not the right plot.
Just when you think they can't figure out another way to entertain us with the same toys, they do!
Good plot and cute new characters makes for a fun watch with the kids!
Nine years, and it was worth every damn second....!
Did we need another Toy Story movie? No. Should we be glad that we have one? On the basis of the film itself, yes. There is nothing particularly new here, but the characters still enchant, and the writing is as sharp as ever.
Nice movie. Nice ending to a terrific franchise. And giving that left-out third Combat Carl a high-five with Duke Caboom there at the very end of the credits? That was a nice cherry on top of the sundae. I have nothing to complain about with this one.
It think it was good. But not as good as the previous 3 ones. Being lost and found, and lost and then taking a chance to be found again, that I feel like was the theme of the movie. There were definitely some laugh out loud moments for me, esp. the "black" stuffed toys. I do also like the notion of appreciating "making" toys out of "trash", not just buying expensive factory-made toys. I also felt the nostalgia of the poly pocket and the spinning doll (I forgot what they're called) but I had them when I was a kid, and it feels good to relate and remember those toys from my childhood. In the end, I still feel like the movie was an unnecessary sequel.
how can i see a film?
I was happy I could share this enjoyment with my son. considering the original was made when I was 11yrs old.
that was so freaking cute and such a nice send-off to woody! really loved it
8/10
i grew up watching toy story so i'm a little sad that there aren't anymore films i'm also sad that don rickles couldn't record for mr potato head
It's very good. Like very good!
Went on a whim with family, and it was a lot better than I thought it would be. Unlike Toy Story 3, the new "villains" and the new characters were all a highlight rather than a detriment to the film for me.
I loved it, to be honest the ending made me kinda of sad, Toy Story first movie was actually released when I was born lol and I remember having every single one of the characters I even wrote my name on the shoe like Andy, but oh well good things must come to an end. Definitely recommend it to everyone.
Glad I took this one out of the box to play with. Toy Story 4 is a fun enough mass produced device that does what it says on the packaging.
Awesome! Amazing!
A +1 for fork :P
A befitting end to a favoured childhood franchise. Pixar outdid itself. Beautiful animation with nuanced character detail. An emotional, humorous, sometime menacing, always entertaining story. Great new characters. Solid tribute to beloved toys. Great voice talent. A thoroughly enjoyable evening at the theatre. I give this film a 10 (don't know how it could be better) out of 10. [Animated Adventure]
thanks, pixar, this is what i'm waiting for. i was enchanted when i've watched this film and saw all the characters and the new ones. i loved so much how they put themes as leave things, female empowerment and self acception. and yes, we were need this sequel!!
Just...no. I knew this was going to come near to TS3 but I wasn’t expecting such little emotional height. Pixar, I’m heartbroken.
All hail Duke Caboom. The absolute super cinematic star.
Why is Don rickles not on the cast list I thought he recorded all his lines before he passed
Glad this one is happening. Pixar should just announce another trilogy under the ownership of Bonnie.

Secret Life of Pets called and they want their script back, loud mouth bunny and all. It's Disney so they probably will win an Oscar for original screenplay.
