[@JediMasterGeoff]

What bothered me the most was how Woody gave up so easily on the idea of being a kid's toy after Bonnie stopped playing with him. Like, did he just forget his experiences from the first film when Andy chose Buzz over him?

[@gageperuti5519]

It also kinda undermines the ending to the third film where he decides to stay with the other toys instead of Andy, since now he abandons them to go with Bo.

[@jerelminter]

@@gageperuti5519 Yes, the problem is that Woody gave up on Bonnie in just a few days of not being played with. However, in Toy Story 3, Woody and the gang stayed in that toy chest in Andy's room _FOR YEARS,_ yet he insisted they stay together even though Andy stopped playing with them a long time ago. A lot longer than Bonnie I might add, what the hell ?

[@bowmaj8666]

I think it's more the idea that Woody learns that he's never going to have the same kind of connection with Bonnie as he did with Andy, no matter how hard he tries! And ultimately, he's learning to be his own person, to do the things that make him happy instead of dedicating his entire life to someone else, especially someone who doesn't really appreciate him back.

[@billsloan]

@@jerelminter They actually grew up with Andy so that was understandable they only knew Bonnie for a few days.

[@kennethkazanow3604]

I don't think it was as easy a thing for him to do as you think it was. The whole movie was less about him "giving up on being a kids toy" and more about him finding out that there's more to life then what you know and what you've always known. He didn't want to give up on Bonnie and he was trying to stay loyal to Bonnie throughout the whole movie but over time he started thinking "hey maybe my job as a toy is over so... what do i do now?" I look at this movie as a epilogue more then a sequel. I also see Woody's journey in this movie as a metaphor for retirement and moving on from what your job was from day 1. The movie isn't the best of the Toy Story franchise and i personally liked the 3rd one the most but this one is still very very good.

[@redcandlejm3155]

When Gabby Gabby first arrived I thought, "Oh great, it's Lotso all over again" but I was very impressed with the direction they took her character. It almost seemed to be kind of parodying how so many modern Disney films have twist villains.

[@Nightman221k]

I liked Gabby Gabby too. Honestly, it's one thing I very much appreciated because the (frankly) hellish torture of the villains in 2 and 3 was honestly kind of disgusting to me and lessened the enjoyment of both films to me. Especially since they were unfortunately just as psychologically damaged as Jessie was, but somehow it's okay when horrific torture happened to characters who, yeah, went too far; but weren't exactly beyond redemption.

[@SukiNoKoe]

I was impressed too! Really liked how she was actually deeper than that.

[@bucwhovian8305]

[@LatrellHassell]

Just like Far From Home as an epilogue to Endgame? That's the fact but it's more than just an epilogue.

[@femkev.5245]

Definitely. I had heard going into the movie to look at it from the perspective of it being an epilogue and I think that improved my experience. It felt much more like a "and here's what happened afterwards" than a full sequel and I appreciated that. It was more contained as a story and almost went full-circle because it focused so much on Woody and Buzz, going back to the roots of the first movie.

[@TECfan1]

I feel like he'd just say "I agree."

[@bowmaj8666]

I think that the biggest problem I have with this movie is the portrayal of Bonnie and her dismissive attitude towards Woody. Now on the one hand I get what they were going for, she's just a kid, and a kid's interests can change very quickly; they can be totally obsessed with something one minute and have no interest in it the next. I also like how they treat Woody's dilemma, and the idea that Bonnie is not Andy, and he's never going to have the same kind of connection with her as the one he had with Andy, no matter how hard he tries. The problem that I have is that we spent a good portion of Toy Story 3 establishing that Bonnie was the perfect new owner for Andy's toys, and that she would love and take care of them. So after all of that I just can't imagine Bonnie going "Oh I lost my Woody doll! Meh, who cares, I'VE GOT A SPORK!"

[@gabrielzayas3903]

[@Robbie_Haruna]

Honestly, i don't think it's amazing, but it does do some nice things. Like bringing Bo-Peep back (who had no decent justification to just be removed offscreen in 3 anyway,) and Woody's newfound self worth issues, stuff like the concept of creating a toy and the existential crisis that Forky has. But I feel like the times it steps away from Woody, Bo-Peep and Forky is where it kinda falls flat. Buzz is the only other character with substantial screentime (and those two new plushies,) and the inner voice running joke has the same problem as the Spanish thing from Toy Story 3 where it overstays its welcome hard. That being said, the villain this time I couldn't stand. Like, Lotso in 3 was also pretty bad, but at least while he was a douchebag it was funny to see that at the end of it all, he ends up in a miserable situation (and like with the Prospector he wasn't established as an antagonist right away, and was able to work with that deception.) Gabby Gabby's entire justification for convincing Woody to give up his voice box was just bad. It's literally "hey, I was born with a birth defect, so you should give up something you have because you've already had good times," and I'm sorry, but that only makes her look entitled and shitty. I loved it when she gets rejected by that one girl that she fixated on after all that and was broken down, because she had it coming for trying to steal Woody's voice box because she felt like she deserved it more than him because she had a defect out of the box. I did like the scene, at the end with the lost child, but for most of the film, I couldn't stand the entitlement she felt about taking away Woody's Voice Box.

My biggest issue with this movie is the way it completely cheapens the ending of the third movie. You remember how beautiful it was when Andy gave Woody to Bonnie, and she promised to take good care of him? And the film ended on a great note with the implication that Woody would be in good hands? Well, in this film, Bonnie completely breaks her promise, neglecting Woody and not even caring that he's missing at the end, thus rendering Andy's sacrifice completely moot, and Woody would've been better off going to college with Andy.

[@Spindler2007]

I agree. This is what completely pissed me off about this movie. Woody disappears in the end and Bonnie didn't give a shit. If Andy ever visited her and found out Woody is gone, he would not very happy about it.

[@grizzly_manbanimation8436]

If I’m being honest, Bonnie just shoving woody aside like she didn’t even care for him seemed completely out of character for her. I mean think about it in the previous movie she really took to him and loved him. You could see it in the first play time they ever shared. Something like that does not just go away. You can say all you want that as time goes by they grow apart but not much time has passed considering how young she still is in this movie. Yes I do imagine that if Andy ever visited Bonnie and asked how the toys were doing and she showed him he would notice for sure that woody was missing and will not be happy to learn she lost him he might not show a lot of emotion about it because she’s five and her mom would likely defend her. But he would still be in the right mind of being upset when he trusted his cowboy doll with her. Yes she is five and in this case broke a promise.Because of that alone it’s hard to get mad at her for it. But that won’t change the fact that andy’s woody doll is now gone and he has no idea where he is and will likely never see him again. That’s only half the complaint I have the other half being the aforementioned out of character thing. I just don’t feel like a little girl like Bonnie who really took to Woody when she first got him would’ve just shove them aside like he meant nothing by the second movie she’s in.

[@Jess19980]

Let's be honest. The only reason for this movie's existence is Because the director is an idiot and doesn't care about the old fans and was just made just so he can end the franchise. But the way it ended was handle poorly.

[@VicenteTorresAliasVits]

03:39 Don Rickles is dead, but Estelle Harris is alive. *Spoilers ahead!* 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

[@billyjoelfan100]

The line everyone remembers from the first film: "You are a toy!!!". The line I take away from the first: "Doesn't matter how much we're played with. What matters is that we're here for Andy when he needs us, that's what we're made for right?" Aside from all kinds of story problems, I'd forgive them if it wasn't for the ending. Completely goes against everything built up over the past three movies. If you go back and listen to Woody and Buzz's lines about being a toy, they go against everything done in this film. The idea of lost toys breaks what was established in the other films. They all became villains. Would've been an interesting twist if Bo was the villain, but it would probably have been just as stupid. I can watch the other 3 films anytime, I have no desire to ever watch this film again. It's not the worst Pixar film, but certainly the biggest disappointment.

[@billyjoelfan100]

2/10. Great animation. Among the best CGI animation Pixar ever made, but that's it. Nothing else of value or merit.

[@ianscott3008]

@@billyjoelfan100 I honestly have to agree with Billy on this one. It had always been their passion, their duty, their purpose that they embraced so dear, were to please children. Not just Andy, but Bonnie too. Part of why 3 was so nifty to me was because despite through it all, they did it to please a child. I could look past the Bo-peep, I can look past the feminizism weirdness some people say it has, I can work past the money sniffing portion of it, I can work past the fact that a few of the voice actors are fading/dying/dead, but I can't excuse how they throw everything off the course here. This ending in this circumstance causes a huge ripple in everything, and it really ain't for me. I'm to simple to try to figure this movie out, so i'll make it brief: Toy story ended at 3. 3/10, like the others have stated, great CGI, but no value or merit, or even any real purpose. Heck, they didn't even have Lasseter for a good bit of the production in this movie, he left. Unnessecary, Useless, Graphically Stunning, maybe great for young kids (which is how disney sells) but not for somebody like Doug, or Billy, or Me, or probably anybody born prior to 2000.

I love how this movie parallels the first: - New toy arrives - New toy gets the spotlight and Woody is left to the side - Woody and the new toy get separated - Woody tries to knock some sense into new toy But it’s much different this time than in the first toy story; - The new toy is made by their kid, not given to - New toy gets spotlight to Woody’s delight, and he tries to get the new toy with their kid as much as possible - The new toy is separated but by their own choice, and Woody tries to get him back - Woody wants the new toy to realize his destiny so the new toy can make their kid happy

[@cookiesontoast9981]

I think Toy Story is possibly the best animated film series of all time, definitely the best Pixar film and better than any Disney, Dreamworks etc etc film out there. Personally 1 and 3 are my favourites while 2 and 4 are my second favourites, they're all amazing though if you ask me, even if I do have some nitpicks with 4. But I do feel that Shrek Is an absolutely fantastic animated series too, yes Shrek The Third wasn't great (even though I still like it) but Shrek 1,2 and 4 are fantastic films. Ice Age?.. The first one is really really good, the second and third are enjoyable films, haven't seen the 4th and 5th and don't know if I want to..

[@ThenewTchannel]

One of the things I love about this movie is the villain. First of all, she's not a twist villain or some random jerk like every other Disney and Pixar movie these days. She spends a good portion of the movie as a villain, which is something we rarely see. Second, she goes through the exact opposite change. Characters like Hans, Bellewether, and even Ernesto De La Cruz go from being a good guy or even just an ally to the leads to being the villain. Gabby goes from being the villain to being someone we feel for, someone we want to see have a happy ending. Which leads to my final point: her happy ending, in my opinion, is the best scene in the whole movie. It's so emotionally investing that I get teary-eyed every time. It's just a beautiful scene, and it makes us feel good for Gabby. This is something Disney needs to do more.

And as silly as forky is I really identified with him, because so many people can at times, myself included, fail to see their value and don't realize how important they are to others. To me Toy Story 4 is just as good as the others, but I agree that's it's more of an epilogue.

I’m gonna get a lot of flack for saying this, but I personally agree with you on this one. When the ending came, I TRIED to be invested, I tried to be sad that it was all ending. But I couldn’t. Oddly enough, I left the theatre kinda disappointed in Pixar. Then I found out why. The way it handles the characters except for Woody and Gabby Gabby is bland for some reason and the ending is ruined by the fact that Bonnies PLAYS with Woody during the road trip and that Forky would not have been made had it not been for Woody. Finding Dory was definitely unnecessary but the way it was EXECUTED made it an actual good watch here and then. It could have gone wrong and become bland at any time but it didn’t. This however felt the exact opposite. And sadly, the worst was yet to come (The Lion King Remake).

[@CeltycSparrow]

I agree with everything you just said. I LOVE the Toy Story trilogy. I think the animation and the characters and the story only got BETTER as the films went on. The story was infused with emotion and creativity and charm and these characters became MUCH MORE than mere pixels on a screen. By the end of the third movie, they truly felt like friends. We cared about them....which is why we all cried at Toy Story 3. I was exactly Andy's age when the first Toy Story came out and when Toy Story 3 came out, I was also going off to college (with my Disney movies in a box in my car) and saying goodbye to childhood. So I KNEW how he was feeling. I may be crazy....but I did NOT like Toy Story 4. AT ALL. The animation was stunning, but I didn't care for much of anything else about it. It felt....very cheap and hollow after the journey I have been on with these characters. And there were WAY to many new characters. The second movie introduced 3 characters (2 of whom have remained in the series....Jessie, Bullseye and the Prospector) and we liked Jessie and Bullseye. The third movie introduced a lot of characters, but they were smart in focusing on a select few (like Lotso and Ken and Bonnie's toys so it wasn't so overwhelming). Unlike Buzz and Jessie from 1 and 2, I could not warm up to Forky as a character. I didn't find anything charming or endearing about him. He was literal trash and he made it VERY clear that he didn't want to be there. And I honestly don't remember any of the other characters' names or what made them so necessary to the story. The villain doll was....decent....but then even THAT felt half-baked compared to other villains. I thought the Bo Peep plot line was ABSOLUTELY ridiculous and unneeded....especially them running into her YEARS later because they just HAPPENED to be in the same amusement park. And honestly, as much as they tried to reignite whatever romantic spark was shared between her and Woody, I never ONCE got the impression that SHE actually still had feelings for Woody. If anything, she seemed very annoyed by his being there. Like he was an unwelcome intruder in her new life and she had moved on. And this is half the reason that I HATED HATED HATED HATED Woody's decision to go with HER at the end rather than stay with Bonnie. It really pisses me off because I felt like it went against ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING that Woody's character has stood for in the last 3 movies. His mantra has always been "Being there for Andy/Bonnie when they need us" and I felt to completely ignore that and choose the girl was a complete insult and disservice to his character.....and it felt like a very cheap way of writing Woody out of any potential sequels (which lets face it....there ARE going to be more sequels so long as these films make money....because that's all Disney cares about now. Money and sequels/remakes. It was never about being the "favorite toy"...at least after the first film. After all, in the first one, Buzz became the favorite. Honestly, they should have just let the story end at the third one. It was a perfect ending to a perfect trilogy..

The problem is in the writing and it shows because this had a whole new team. I know he's controversial, but I definitely felt the absence of Lasseter. I think he should've been involved. The film completely steps on what the series established: "Life's only worth living if you're being loved by a kid..." Woody's actions are completely out of character, Buzz is a drooling idiot and Bo is a completely different character -- and I don't just mean when they meet her later on. The flashback scene doesn't work because it implies that Bo was this headstrong "go-getter" from the beginning when she wasn't. She was the quiet maiden. She was Little Bo Peep!

[@therobotchickenMLP]

Toy Story 4 is okay at best. It retcons Bo Peep's character in the beginning flashback to make her new characterization less jarring later on; Buzz has no agency and acts on the whims of his voice clips; the others are literally stuck in the back seat the whole movie; and this movie really does shit on the ending of 3, even if little kids really are prone to moving on quickly. In a vaccuum, I like Woody's journey but the context of previous movies makes it really weird. Gabbie is great too. She has a great motivation, and seeing Woody sacrifice part of himself for her is touching. 6:11 That is unfortunately _the_ argument people use when they don't have a real argument to make. I wish people would stop using it for everything.

When I watched Toy Story 3 I was let down by the ending. I wanted it to be Andy going to college and the screen fades to black. Then you hear a knock on the door and a new scene fades in with a point of view shot of a man holding a camcorder and he pushes open the door as a reprise of "You've Got a friend in me" plays. You see a boy playing with Andy's toys and the boy embarrassed says "Dad!" You hear Andy laughing saying "Pretend I'm not here" like his mom and he sets the camera down and you see him joining his kid. His wife calls out for Andy and their son for dinner and Andy and their boy say in unison they'll be there in five minutes. You see the camera zoom on Andy holding Woody and his son holding Buzz. Woody and Buzz give a wink at each other and the scene fades into black and the credits roll. Then Toy Story 4 arrives and I fear it's another cash grab with a half-effort storyline. Instead it was the perfect ending when I realized the whole Toy Story franchise was about Woody in his personal journey.

Nine_Tails137. Woody said that BEFORE his play time with Andy got reduced with the new Buzz Lightyear. You know, the whole plot of the first one being Woody being jealous of Buzz? He just said that so the other toys will stop worrying about new toys, but Woody himself was really confident he wouldn’t be replaced. So how does TS4 throw that line out the window when Woody was feeling the same way in the very first one? Needless to say you’ve completely missed the point. Woody had character development as before he measured his self worth by being beloved by a kid, in TS4, he found a new purpose with Bo, he was still very loyal to Bonnie despite Bonnie not even being interested in him as a toy. But Bonnie doesn’t need him, Andy doesn’t need him, so he found a new purpose with Bo.

And he's not abandoning Buzz, are you serious? People move all the time either due to a relationship/marriage, school, a career, etc. Buzz understands this, heck HE'S the one who pushes Woody to go back to Bo Peep because as a true friend would he wants Woody to be happy and knows he and the others can take care of Bonnie. Seriously, the movie justifies everything, and all the complaints I've heard about the ending seem to ignore everything the movie explains. You can dislike it, fine, but let's not pretend the movie didn't explain clearly why it ended the way it did.

[@CrimsonVision-v1j]

Toy Story 4 was made because the crew felt like they still had more to tell. Like one of the commenters said, it’s best to view this as a epilogue then a legit sequel. With that view, it’s a great epilogue to the trilogy. And I hate it when someone says that this was made just for money.

[@therealCrazyJake]

Drew Bell Pictures agreed. It irritated me the first time he said it, and it irritates me again that he says it now.

[@noreehix5714]

Drew Bell Pictures Exactly this is the few cases where it wasn’t made for money but out of passion.

[@bigjoe1695]

He's not wrong though. It was a case of "we have to make a Toy Story film, let's make it a good one" and not "hey Disney, can we make another Toy Story?"

[@mrflipperinvader7922]

4:25 sad thing is I understand the point doug has here, not much laughter compared to toy story 3, especially cause the writers are more amateurish than the other writers, so the humor is more snarky but not as layered or appealing to a mass audiance and more to kids

[@robricloc5663]

I get the argument that TS4 doesn’t really need to exist but I never saw TS4 as a complete continuation of TS3, I just saw it as a new instalment of the entire series. I see the first three as part of an Andy saga while the fourth film has its own unique and new challenges to its characters albeit mostly Woody in this one

Disney has announced that Toy Story 5 is on the way. I hope the sequel can successfully introduce Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang to a younger generation while maintaining the excellent quality of writing and directing that made the outstanding trilogy one of my aspirations to become an actor. Woody and Buzz staying together is what gives the series the strength and heart that has delighted people worldwide for 27 years.

I'm pretty sure the people using the "it's for kids" excuse are the ones praising the live-action remakes. After all, they can just defend those with the "it's for kids" excuse, right?

"This movie didn't need to exist" Neither did Toy Story 2

[@vivianabertello2200]

TS2 had a better and tighter script tho, and it gave more screentime to the other characters as well.

[@jongon0848]

That's true but the argument here is that it doesn't need to exist which I think is true but just because it doesn't need to exist doesn't mean there isn't any possibilities that can be explored and touched upon. TS2 didn't need to exist but it's one of the greatest sequels of all time

[@geoffbschneider]

Honestly Doug’s right this should’ve been a stand alone film for woody because he does have the most amount of screen time. If they pushed the other toys to the side but they were still in it like for the beginning and then a little bit at the end then that would work. But have a similar but different plot like they could’ve had buzz for some time and woody could’ve still gone across Bo peep and every one else like I feel like that would work.

[@GiftOfKnowledge-np9vg]

Needed to exist? What does that mean? It’s not like Toy Story 3 “needed to exist” either, but it was good and it evolved the characters, and I felt that’s all true for this one too.

Three things: 1) The Toy Story 4 review was uploaded on the 4th. :) 2) Estelle Harris who voices Mrs. Potato Head is still alive. 3:37 3) Buzz is using his inner voice because he's avoiding taking responsibility for his choices. After his buttons fail him towards the end of the movie, he is forced to make a choice on his own and use his own voice. I don't think it exactly fits the character because he was more than capable to get out of Al's Toy Store by himself in Toy Story 2 and he uses the inner voice a little too much, like he needed it just to look up once. But it's a lot deeper than a running gag.

I honestly think this movie didn’t need to exist, I would’ve been much happier if they showed Bo Peep’s return in a Toy Story Short or something, not a full feature length sequel. Toy Story 3 will be the real ending in my eyes and it always will

[@jgames1113]

Love the movie personally, its a great epilogue.

[@silhouettoofaman2935]

I actually like the what they did with Gabby Gabby. They didn't do some build-up to this big twist that she was the villain this whole time, like so many other Disney movies. They just established it in one scene, with as little build-up as possible. And really, she wasn't a villain even for very long, rather just a desperate toy looking to be loved by a kid. She certainly didn't behave like a typical villain either, she pretty much kept her sweet tone throughout. And she didn't even get some kind of comeuppance at the end. In fact, this was one of the few times a "villain" gets exactly what she wanted! All this culminates to what I believe is the most sympathetic antagonist in Pixar's history.

[@PixarShark]

"They didn't make it because they had a story to tell." Ironic he says that, because I've always remembered literally one of THE FIRST THINGS I read when I heard they were making this is that it was being made BECAUSE they had another story they wanted to tell.

[@Xarazel]

yeah, the "story" being how much they like cashing in on nostalgia instead of making new IPs

[@dreamwolf3218]

I wish this movie had just been it's own thing. I loved Bo Peep, the plushies, the villain doll, and Keanu Reeves. They could've left out all of the other toys entirely and still have the same story. Just make Bo the main character. The worst thing about Toy Story 4 is that it ruins the end of the third. Woody could've gone with Andy if this was the outcome. Woody leaves his family, and that's what ruins TS4 for me.

[@XC11301991]

I didnt like this movie, everything about it felt counterintuitive to the themes and promises of the previous films.

That was actually the point though. It was about growing, adapting and acceptance. It matches the broad theme of the previous but not the specifics.
