While the colourful world of Toy Story might seem like a family-friendly affair the everyone can enjoy, the latest entry in the long-running cartoon cavalcade has come under fire for being ‘racist’. We’re busting out of the toy box once again as Buzz, Woddy, and co. go on another perilous adventure.

Despite Toy Story 4 being held a near-perfect entry in the franchise, some demand that playtime should be over. There’s an all-star cast of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Keanu Reeves, Annie Potts, and Christina Hendricks, but one person is calling out the movie’s lack of ethnic diversity.

Although black actors Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele both have parts in Toy Story 4, writer and performer Stella Duffy is calling the studio out. Speaking during a BBC Radio 4 review, Duffy grumbled: �I�m the Grinch who hated it.

�Seriously, it�s 2019! What on earth are Disney doing having a film that has no leads that are black characters.”

Discussing the inclusion of Key and Peele as Ducky and Bunny, Duffy continued: “Yes, there are black actors, but they are yellow and they are green and they are plush!

“How can they possibly think that it�s alright now?

�Yeah, maybe in 1995 � which was also wrong then, as well, actually – but now, to be serious, where every single humanoid toy, is white? It�s just shocking!�

It wasn’t just a lack of black toys that rattled Duffy. The return of Annie Potts as the MIA Bo Peep also caused her to rage. Bo has had something of a redesign and is back as a feminist icon — similar to Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The writer added: “Okay, let�s talk about the white feminism on display here. Oh look! Bo-Peep�s a feminist. No she�s not! She�s still going to fall in love, she�s still going to have the happily ever after, that�s not feminism!

�It�s a woman who kicks off her skirt to reveal bloomers. Had a couple of thoughts� and does some high wire acts.�And it�s disablist! It covers ALL bases!

“It looks good � but Disney is supposed to LOOK good. There has to be content to the story too!�

Even if Duffy isn’t a fan of the tear-jerking tale of toys and turmoil, there are plenty of us who simply can’t get enough of the plastic fantastic outing.
