Recently, I went to watch Toy Story 4 and here is what I thought about it. No spoilers in this review.

I was abit skeptical when I watched this movie as I was one of those people that thought Toy Story 3 was the perfect ending but after watching this I realize I was really wrong.

Toy Story 3 was about kids abandoning the toys because they can always get a new one to replace. Toy Story 4 has somewhat the same problem, just that we see how other toys handle the grief differently than the ones in Toy Story 3. We also see more of what makes a toy alive and give it the ability to talk.

Toy Story 4 was also hilarious and mostly because of its great characters, we see old characters and new ones like Duke Caboom and the duo, Ducky and Bunny. There was enough development on the new characters for us to feel for them and make them likeable. While the old characters didn’t need further development so they just stick around. Bo Peep was also really good with her interactions with Woody.

I have always been a fan of Buzz Lightyear and in Toy Story 4 I get to see more of him and really understand why I liked him so much. Buzz is a really good friend to Woody and is always loyal to him and in this film we get to see more of that.

The animation on this movie was also really beautiful. Objects that are not alive like grass and the road are animated so well. Even the toy’s movement were just so fluid. Pixar have really gone a long way with their animation and this movie did not fail with its animation.

We see the toys move on and how life is like in Bonnie’s house now that all the toys are donated to Bonnie. Their main goal in this new instalment to the franchise was just to make Bonnie happy. There were subtle references to the other Toy Story movies and specials.

This Toy Story proved to be a better ending than Toy Story 3 but because of its short duration, it sort of feels like a holiday special. Still it’s ending is good.

I really wanted to see more of the carnival setting but I guess this movie was going a different route entirely.

All in all the movie was great and it’s just refreshing to see a series return and a series that I enjoy that isn’t about superheroes. People young and old will enjoy this film.
