Don Rickles only had _3_ lines for Mr Potato Head before his death!

I think they wanted to focus more screen time on the new characters (Forky, Gabby Gabby, Duke), but yeah I don't think I packed 20 toys for a short road trip

They did have something to do, Jessie popped one of the tires in the van which prevented Bonnie and her parents from leaving the carnival. Trixie acted like the voice on the GPS and they fucked with the brakes on the van to stop them from leaving which got Bonnie's dad in trouble with the cops so they weren't completely useless.

At least now we can understand why Woody's Roundup got cancelled ;)

I love toy story 4, but it would’ve been really fitting if this movie was a Woody spinoff and not an actual addition to the franchise. Great movie, but doesn’t really belong next to 1-3 because it’s more of Woody’s story

Yoyo Jeongyeon LEGIT

Shoot, at that age, I'd be panicking like a maniac and likely cry when even a single toy is gone.

When I was that age I would just look for other toy I had, unless it was like something that I really cared about but idk that was a plastic fork, I never got that attached to a craft thingy I made, sometimes I would just throw it to the trash

this is what happens when parents don't intervene when your children's only friends are their toys. they get irrationally emotionally attatched to a piece of trash instead of talking to other kids in their class

It’s called a spork dipshit

Like she didnt even kept the promise she gave to Andy and didnt gave a fuck about Woody like he didn't even exict

@@user-xn8gz6og1k yeah, I understand she's a kid and they forget things or lose interest in things really fast but considering how Bonnie was in toy story 3 and even the shorts that released afterwards I find it very unlikely she'd lose interest in woody after about a year

@@vanguardplays3418 i like that Woody was the ultimate simp in the movie he left back his budie Buz ,the girl he was with the entire time (Jesse)and everyone he knew since all time just for a doll that did him everything she want and made him do bad decisions with 3 sheep😑What do you say?

@@user-xn8gz6og1k she’s also six lol

You're right

Exactly!

Yup its not bad to give them flaws or even make them strong physically ot be good with action stuff..... But give them personality. Personally like badass warrior female characters with character struggles that their combat prowess cant solve find this weird but i like it

Elastigirl from the *FIRST* Incredibles is a good example of this. She was able to break into Syndromes base and rescue her husband and they didn’t have to make Mr Incredible look weak or stupid to make her look strong. It’s a shame they did that in the sequel tho

It's little more than the current status quo that's being reinforced. Feminity amongst women is demonized, while trying to force masculinity on them. We know who women really are in real life, we know that despite exceptions existing the absolute majority of women are not these "oh Ima be a caricature of masculinity" types.

Yeah, it's pretty much what the movies made of Ron Weasley's character in the Harry Potter movies. He went from a clever, witty, courageous, and likable character to a dumb, unbearable, immature loser who's used for dumb jokes.

@@superedmundo1239 So true! They even play off his cleverness in the 7th movie as a joke! Also, atleast we see his cleverness in the first movie! I'll take what I can get XD

@FieryGarfield Totally agree. They dumbed down Buzz and regressed his character. It's a shame that people are so blind to this :/

Buzz was always kind of dumb, but the movie was not about other toys. That's why we don't see buzz much involved in the story. As a result, he seems less serious and more dumb in toy story 4. But it's acceptable.

Omar Zhalak Nah it’s kinda Unacceptable

I know right

@Gorilla G Rockson yeah I was like why did they do that

You are talking about the same toy who thought he was an actual astronaut in the first and third film?

TBH my main problem with Toy Story 3 was that it underplayed Buzz’s friendship with Woody so much that Buzz didn’t seem like Woody’s friend at all in that movie; he literally never takes Woody’s side during any of his arguments with the rest of Andy’s toys. When Woody wants to leave Sunnyside, he doesn’t even try to stop him; the only one who does is Bullseye. When Buzz reaches out to Woody at the incinerator at the end, it’s a moment that completely relies on having watched the first two Toy Story films, because in TS3 Woody if anything seems closer to Slinky than Buzz. For all the flaws of TS4, at least Buzz has gone back to being Woody’s best friend and he is actually there for him; he hasn’t forgotten the whole point of the first two films. But yeah, the whole “Inner voice” thing is bullshit and not even particularly funny.

Mother may I Have some Bleach? They did the same thing to bob in incredibles two and Ralph in wreck in Ralph 2

I would definitely watch it if it was a scene.

THANK YOU!!! YES!!

Thank you. I’m so happy there’s people that share my opinion

To think people call this bastardization a "good character arc" is insane. They turned woody into a simp nice-guy deadbeat dad going through a midlife crisis abandoning his family to get laid by some basic bitch that doesn't even give a fuck about him. That is not character development that is shitty writing and disloyal. I guess that fits in with the "namaste lets all just abandon responsibility" mindset of the "woke" morons flooding the world today. I'm not falling for it. Not since Luke Skywalker have I seen such character assassination. This is jake the cowboy not woody.

@@bluespark01 Luke Skywalker wasn't character assassinated though. It makes sense to see him seeing how the Jedi can fail and blaming himself for it

THANK YOU!!!!!!

@@bluespark01 "Simp?!" Please you just made yourself sound cringy for that.

Maybe you should be more respectful

No. 4 used the same as 3, but including "Sometimes you need to get out of your comfort zone"

@Albert Boris But 3 still uses the amazing *“friends and family over everything else”* from 1 and 2.

Toy story 5: even if you have a loss of an old friend, your toy should always be there when you return no matter what "You Got A Friend In Me"

@@coolbatman5774 Bo Peep? Honestly, I didn’t like they tried to turn her into a strong character without showing the original Bo Peep personality. Toy Story 4 is trying to tell me Bo was always this strong character, but that’s not true. Bo was a lot more shy and reliant in Toy Story 1 and 2. And even her new strong, character seems more aggressively dominating rather than intelligently dominating. Don’t get me wrong, I love powerful feminine leaders. Women who don’t require a guy to live. Like Jessie. She was an amazing female character in Toy Story 2 and 3. She was strong, assertive, and best of all, a respectable character. Bo Peep just seems like a feminist to me. I don’t know, maybe I am analyzing wrong. Honestly, who knows.

This is basically toy story 3: lol my kid is a teen let me leave him for some random kid that I barely even know even though he wanted me to go to college with him screw that I want some random child LOL.

I guess the idea they were going for was that Woody didn't need to be there if the kid didn't need him, or else it becomes obsession.

he does never give up on anyone in toy story 4. he never gave up on forky and bonnie didn’t need him anymore so leaving her didn’t give up on her. he didn’t give up on his friends, actually in ty story 4 he’s helping other toys at the end so he actually isn’t a bad person lol. i just rlly love woody

@@ghost8974 He did give up on Bonnie. Based on everything Woody has been about in the first three movies, his shortage of playtime wouldn't make a difference to him. He and his friends spent years without getting played with, and he insisted that they stay. "It's not about getting played with. It's about being there for Andy. He must care about us, or we wouldn't be here." Why should he not apply those same standards to being Bonnie's toy?

@@PoppCulture94 bonnie didnt care for woody, even the other toys could see woody was finished with having 1 child they were the ones who encouraged him and felt bad for him because he was never in that situation. Bonnie didnt care for woody because woody isnt Bonnie's toy, hes still Andy's

@@amemelia Except he has been in this situation before. When Andy got Buzz in the first movie, the only times Woody was played with was when he was used as Buzz's punching bag. He even began to doubt his value anymore, as he says to Buzz, "You should go back to Andy without me. I'm the one who should be strapped to that rocket." But Buzz insisted that Andy needed them both. And thus Woody learns that his purpose as a child's toy matters even when he's not the favorite. And anyway, if he was never Bonnie's toy, what was the point of the ending of Toy Story 3? The beginning of the fourth drew attention to her name written on his boot. When the other toys chose to stay at the daycare center, Woody tried to tell them it was wrong by pointing out the name written on theirs. By the end of 4, the name written on his boot doesn't mean a thing to him. He just leaves to do what he wants, exactly what he rebuked his friends for doing in 3. And yet somehow we're supposed to be okay with this now??? No way.

These movies seem to give the wrong message.

This is actually it. It's the new childfree nomil delete the gym ideal.

To me, this is the Last Jedi of the Toy Story movies

Each movie did have a point that had an allusion to another villains goals. Sid made evil toys just as evil toys exist. Stinky pete wanted to live on a sgelf, the life Bo got and hated Lotso got replaced and abandoned much like stinky Pete said would happen and andy went to college. Each movie had themes made for toys that couldbe applied irl. Being independent and setting others on a better path seems contradictort but still works

To me, that wasn’t the point of the movie. You are free to think this way, but to me I think that the movie was more based on woody finding a new home outside of what he was used to, and the movie showed that to me. It showed to me how he didn’t really fit in anymore, and it showed how he was no longer a necessary toy. To me it showed that he had to move on. That he had to carry onward. I see where you are coming from. But I disagree.

I don’t mind femininity at all, but I do mind disempowerment in a character. Bo Peep didn’t do a thing for me in Toy Story 1 & 2, but while she wasn’t as much of a “strong female character” as Jessie, I’m just glad they didn’t make her weak and bereft of a sense of humour. Toy Story 4, on the other hand, was the point where by being more of a “strong female character” than Jessie (who is so much more personality-free than ever), it just made her even more of a female stereotype and debatably more delicate than ever.

i .candy THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING FEMININE (OR GENDER-NEUTRAL, OR MASCULINE)!!!!!

TrixxTheJackalope Especially because she’s not even dressed like someone sexed-up. She never has been. And yet, if I can give the late 1990s Bo Peep credit, it’s that at least she made TWO sex jokes in Toy Story 1! i.pinimg.com/originals/4d/8c/04/4d8c0491ff52a03d89305efa1781a362.jpg m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mq-jecpkq7nUdYU.html

Exactly. I recall walking out of the movie thinking, "Why is Bo Peep trying to be Jessie, poor Jessie doesn't even get to be Jessie, and barely does anything."

Completely agree. Bo was my favourite character in Toy Story as a kid, she was sweet and straightforward. Jessie was also awesome as a completely different girl character. The new Bo doesn't do it for me it all, she just feels rehashed to sell a new female lead as merchandise.

Never realized it was after almost a decade.

Schaffrillas Productions: The ending is amazing! In fact, it’s the most perfect way to end Toy Story since the one in 3! And no, we don’t like Toy Story 4 JUST because of nostalgia! The characters had the same ways of lovability as they had in the previous Toy Story films, the only difference being Bo, because while she was more important than people give her credit for, they changed her character for the even better! Why do people think that’s just SJW propaganda?! If anything, that’s TRUE female empowerment! YOU’RE the SJWs for complaining about Bo Peep’s character development (or, in YOUR hate-filled case, “character derailment”) in one of the many underrated films of 2019 along with Missing Link, Playmobil the Movie, Arctic Dogs, Wonder Park, Uglydolls and Abominable!

When I saw Toy Story 3's ending scene with Andy going off to college one night during an ABC marathon of all the movies and his mom was like, "I wish I could always be with you," I, then about to enter high school at 15, started crying my eyes out. When I saw this in theaters, I actively started counting down the "Pixar Cry Moment."

Nathan Higgins Ikr

And this is why more than ever, I wanted there to be a Toy Story 5 (I mean, come on! Toy Story 3 and especially 4 were some of the highest-grossing animated features before The Lion King: Decimated)! So that not only could it have Woody Pride come back to Bonnie Anderson’s home to visit Andy Davis, his wife Hannah Phillips and their son Manuel (probably because a decade ago, there was Handy Manny?) Phillips could also visit the Andersons and their toys!

They all coulda been but they yeeted outta there for a new paisono

lol, or Andy tragically dies early, and Woody and a few other childhood relics are placed in Andy's coffin as he is buried. And Woody has to spend the next 4 billion years locked in the pitch black coffin lying next to the decaying body of his former child master. Damn some toys must live a brutal life!

Toy Story 4 is a good movie.

Then why did you watch this video?

@@nickgadson266 It's honestly not.. :/

ShewolfxVix Yes it is.

I hated both this movie and Frozen 2... two very disappointing and empty bland feeling sequels of Disney this year that many people somehow think are good. 😕 Ok, Toy Story 4 is pixar, but still it's Disney Pixar.

I really hated it they ruined it for me

Woody, the guy that said that toys need to always be there for their children, the guy that kept everything together. Is the one that leaves. Fuck you Pixar!

I mean, it didn’t at all

Woody:we're a family we should stay together Also woody: i got a girlfriend bye guys

I disagree, woody finally made the choice to be his own person. The choice he failed to make in the past 2 movies.

Wasn't Bo Peep supposed to be originally a voice of reason for Woody? She didn't need to be a strong, independent female lead because she was already a good character before. Yeah sure she was quiet and always on the side, but when Woody needed support, she still would give him great advice.

@@midnightheart5905 Exactly! She was always there for Woody. She calms him down when he's stressed and gives him good advice, but this film showed a completely different character. I missed her soft and sweet personality (and her pretty dress).

Even then, you can’t just make a character 180 like that, have the only explanation be “I’ve seen some stuff”, and then expect the audience to see them as the same character. TS4 is only able to get away with stuff like this because people’s nostalgia goggles blind them.

@@midnightheart5905 this also fit with her design too. The girl’s made out of porcelain, there’s no wonder why she stayed out of the action most of the time. And yet this movie tries to rewrite that key aspect of her character because “strong independent woman”? Come on

@i .candy well take into account that she HAD learn to fight since she as living on the streets and she easily breaks

Yeah there have been bland sequels from multiple companies. I keep forgetting that I've seen the third movies to How To Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda, and getting excited when I see the title images on Netflix.

14 years ago I was wanting a sequel for that movie so bad... can I go back in time and slap myself for that?

Tbh incredibles 2 isn't that bad it just wasnt as good as the first one they could've done soo much more with the sequel but didn't because Disney hasn't made a good animated film since Toy Story 3.

Amen brother! I hated that movie too. What a huge disappointment

@@samjr1151 Incredibles 2 is not terrible. It's just the first movie done poorly again with an uno reverse card hit on the main characters. And Mr Incredible is nerfed massively in the movie. Losses a fist fight, barely uses his strength, and sidelines his family in the opening act. Bob gets good room to play the father and that is it for the character. The villain is awful and plays like a TV villain. Actually this entire movie felt like a made for TV movie. It should have been set farther into the future with the kids being more mature.

It wasn't just Buzz and Woody. Other than maybe 1-2 scenes they totally weakened Jessie too. She's a pushover to Bo and maybe others as well. Did they totally forget what she did for the others in TS3 and ESPECIALLY Toy Story of Terror? She became a fully fledged hero in that special (along with Buzz and Woody). Now we expect she'll just let Bo haul Woody off? After she traveled in a box to save him (her biggest fear)? She loves Woody like he's her big brother. TSOT makes TS4 look ridiculous.

This is the same way I feel about star wars RoS.

I'd argue it makes sense. Woody wouldn't be played with much whereas with Bo, he's with the love of his life and has more of a purpose.

Yeah she mutilated Woody, had creepy guards running the shop like a prison but "oh she was sad let's forgive her atrocities!"

She manipulated Woody, itv wasn't her lil sob story that changed his mind. She cornered him with the ventriloquist dolls and pretty much gave him no choice.

Couldn’t agree more. Woody was cucked big time here. Buzz was useless, and the other characters were basically not present. That’s what happens when you value “wokeness” over genuine story telling

This is the worst comparison I’ve ever seen in my life Lotso almost killed the toys for his own benefit Gabby Gabby earned her happiness since she was willing to accept change and turned good she even found an owner someone who was lost like her also are you really saying a movie about toys had a double standard stop trying to push your political agenda that everything that a woman does is a double standard

@@jaydenbrough9624 Even Lotso had a sob sob story, but I see no one here forgiving him for his actions.

Thank you!! Finally someone who remembers this

Because he’s not that bright. Thought that was obvious.

@@eyeconqueror1185 Buzz might not be as smart as most toys, but he's not an incompetent fool. In Toy Story 1, he correctly deduced it was safer to ride in the passenger seat than in the trunk. Toy Story freaking 2, Buzz not only deciphers Al's license plate (when no one else could), but organizes a successful mission to get Woody back. It was his idea to use the traffic cones to safely cross the street, his idea to jump at the same time to trigger the automatic doors, and his idea to reveal the fake Buzz by opening his helmet. He also used the cameras to blind the prospector, plus talked some sense into Woody. This movie presents Buzz as incapable of making decisions, and being a successful leader: Two things the previous movies established as a big part in his character.

Audiences: How can he think his voice box is his conscious when he knows he's a toy? Disney: Money.

Agreed. The bigger problem, however, is that the contradiction is totally unearned. Contradictions are allowed - hell, real life is full of them. But in life - and in GOOD storytelling - we usually get to SEE how they come about. They don't just happen without setup. As the video points out, the movie thematically contradicts itself - something the first three TSs just didn't do. TS 4 was severely underwritten or lazily written or both.

How is it a contradiction ? Woody being the leader running the room isn't going to work anymore because he belongs to Bonnie who isn't the same character as Andy was. So her not playing with Woody makes sense because not every kid plays with their toys the same way. Even Sid Phillips didn't do that, he broke his toys, blew them up with dynamites and even decapitated and dismembered them.

Black Ninja I was thinking the same thing - both about Forky being (extremely) annoying, and about the shorts being so much better thematically than TS4. I’ve watched the shorts with my kids numerous times, but I cannot, will not, sit through TS4 again. Even my 4 year-old lost interest halfway into the second act!

The ending was the most ridiculous part in my opinion

hm landis I agree. Why would Woody want to go be with Bo Peep when she acted like an insufferable little shrew who treated him with such disdain throughout most of the movie?!

That's the worst part about Toy Story 4. It destroys the "friendship" theme for the sake of a crappy Livejournal fanfic between Bo and Woody.

@Magic In The Mundane maybe the toys CAN sleep, but don’t need to?

gami gato Ooh, that’s a good theory. Also, Woody was injured when he slept, so maybe that had something to do with it? Though I prefer your opinion.

Maybe they don’t sleep like we do, but just imitate us to pass time (cuz they’re not gonna get played with when their owners’ asleep and can’t move around and talk cuz they’re in the room)

Maybe it's a janky vestigial trait they inherit from the humans they get their consciousness from. Like whales with leg bones or that falling out of a tree sensation we get in bed.

All the Buzz Lightyear toys in Al's Toy Barn, were in "deep hyper sleep" until "authorized personel" woke one of them up. The fact that they all slept with their eyes open kinda felt creepy tho.

I honestly don't understand what's wrong with just sweet, calm and supportive female characters, who may not be into this whole action and stuff. I mean it was annoying back then when female characters were only love interests who could do nothing, but now it's vice versa. Come on, stop with this bs, Disney/Pixar and other guys! Just WRITE a character, don't pander to what's popular 🤦🏻‍♀️

And yeah, did they forgot Bo is STILL made of porcelain and all this jumping and stuff should just really break her in pieces cause it's not only fragile, but also pretty heavy and breaks easily. Man.

??

They did the same shit with Wreck it Ralph 2. I loved the princess scenes, but I hated how they threw away a lot of the plot points of the first movie. "NEVER GO TURBO! -- oh wait you want to join this other game forever? SURE go ahead" DID WE FORGET THAT SHE IS A GLITCH AND THEREFORE CANNOT LEAVE HER GAME?! (yes, she can still glitch)...and if resetting the game somehow changed that fact then they should have explained that to US! and they turned Ralph into a big man-baby who acted like he couldn't survive without Vanelope even though he had lots of new friends now and everyone accepts him and doesn't treat him differently for being the villain. Vanelope was actually pretty selfish in the film but that's my opinion. Ralph made all those videos to save her game and then she's just "Aight I'ma head out" I hate how they are ruining sequels lately... they do the same thing to both Ralph and Woody... make them seem like insecure losers while the female is the strong empowered one. Why not BOTH? Vanelope went from a character I truly loved in the first film to a little brat I wanted to slap in the second one

Woody and Buzz lightyear 😔

@Robert Brookes the only reason this film may have “needed” to exist is for Pixar to flex their gorgeous animation and cinematography

It’s way better than 3. 3 ruined Woody’s character arc.

@Eye Conqueror I would like to respectfully disagree

Eye Conqueror How? Please explain?

Robert Brookes 3 was the oddball of the franchise. 1, 2 and 4 are the ones that are connected through story and Woody’s arc. 3 was basically just a prison break movie, it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t as amazing as 1 or 2, and 4 through story and Woody’s arc.

Yeah I rewatched Toy Story 4 again earlier today and noticed that Woody did question if Bo will ever go back to being in a kids room again and she said no, then Bo mentions that her new life as a lost toy would be a great role for Woody and he said no and that he was happy belonging to a kid. So they did have some variation of that exchange in the movie like you said but I agree that they didn't capitalize on it enough, had that been Bo's character in Toy Story 4 that would've been more effective than the one we got in the movie. Buzz and Jessie didn't do much so I agree with that, it sucks that they're not given more screen time in TS4 because they've had more interactions with Woody than Bo has.

No? Woody meant that when his time with Andy ends, he'd have Buzz with him. Not when Bonnie's time was over

@@AlbertBoris Good joke, nostalgic turd

@@tizyman7120 How does that make me "nostalgic"? If anything, it's you guys who would be considered "over-nostalgic" because you can't let go that Woody got character development

Probably would have been much better if it had been directed by John Lasseter, as originally planned.

⁠@@AlbertBorishe said he would have him for infinity and beyond meaning that he would never leave him like he does in TS4.

Thank you! What's wrong with being delicate, sweet and girly?!

I think it is rude to say, as a film maker, all female characters have to be strong/be like a man, that is as bad as every female character has to be a demsil in distress. Why not have Jessy as the strong "boyish girl and Bo Peep as the" girly" girl? Bo Peep could be strong in her own way, not by action/physics but in mind. To have a strong mindset, to be caring even when it is maybe tough (for example caring and understanding the shop puppet). That would be also a strong female character but different from Jessy.

@@ralphisxamida8533 Agreed 200%!

It's not the fact that she's hardcore, it's the fact that she has no real personality flaws. Jesse is as hardcore, but has faults like her abandonment issues and her Claustrophobia.

The sad part is that Bo peep didn't have to be like how she is in Toy Story 4 to make her more kickass. They could have kept her personality and just add some nonchalance towards children's attention.

You're right. Andy only plays with her when he's playing with Woody. She was the "damsel in distress" that Woody often saved.

hora de todos os legos If the first Toy Story was asking “What if toys were alive?", Toy Story 2 "What happens to toys when we grow up?" and Toy Story 3 the same but in a more concrete manner, then Toy Story 4 is stepping away to get to the core. It's asking, plainly, "What is a toy anyway?" That's in the discussion from the opening sequence where Woody is torn between his own interests and duty to Andy, and pushed to the fore by Forky's creation via affection. Up until this movie, it was simple. Per Buzz recounting what he learned from Woody in Toy Story 2, "life's only worth living if you're bein' loved by a kid." But what does that say about life when a child grows up, or when you're left in the closet in favor of others? How can idealism really hold up to the real world? What Toy Story 4 finds is a less direct form of love. It's not just about a singular, personal relationship but the grand web of life one can find themselves in.

Ikr anyone would react that way with the tire piping

Blame the feminazis, dahling. They've been ruining every children's movie, tv show and video game for some time with their blatant attempts at social engineering.

"And the way she interacted with Woody, it left me with the sense of bewildered hurt and confusion of bumping into a long-lost friend you've not seen in years only to find that they're no longer the person you knew and loved at all." I would be unsuprised if that was the vibe they were going for.

I felt the same way with Bo Peep in Toy Story 4 Instead of her sweetness it was bitterness.

Sir Friendship RRRRREEEEEEEEE

Sir Friendship, it’s funny how Lotso really is right about everything in Toy Story 3 because if you watch Toy Story 3 and 4 right back to back with each other it almost seems like they’re completely different movies.

Stinky Pete: “end up in some landfill”

You don't have to watch the film you know. I didn't watch it when it was in cinemas and I won't watch it on DVD. TS 3 is the true ending. Just ignore this film.

Bonnie did not discard Woody. He was in the closet. No worse than Andy wanting to put him in the attic.

@@caleb8676 Yeah, abandon is an exaggeration but she did leave him feeling unwanted and lacking purpose

Meris true, but she didn’t know he was alive. To her, he is just an inanimate object.

Toy Story 2 had a much better ending. Toy Story 3 ruins it by introducing a new kid and having the toys again obsessed with having an owner instead of being happy with each other, which was the entire point of 2.

Exactly. If going around in a skunk living in a sandbox and losing Buzz and his family to a radfeminist version of Bo Peep looking for toyless children was his endgame, he should have stayed with the daycare.

@Eat At Joe's Better yet if going around in a skunk, living in a sandbox, abandoning his friends and Bonnie, running around with a masculine Bo looking for toyless children was his endgame, then he should have stayed in Andy's backpack(or wherever he was) and went to college with him.

Actually, there was someone else who I think could have done a fantastic job on a fourth film: Angus MacLane, the guy who directed Toy Story of Terror and Small Fry. THAT was some of the best and funniest writing I have seen since Toy Story 2, maybe even the first film. Toy Story of Terror is so well made it puts TS4 and even TS3 (apart from it's ending) to shame. He understands the characters almost perfectly. After that special, I would have given him the keys to a TS4 on the spot.

EremikaHaven yep

Apparently stay at home dad and spork toy were the ideas.

*Toy Story 4* is a lot like *Incredibles 2* not because they’re solidly put together (not especially as sequels), but more because they are the worst Pixar movies since the ones that came between *Toy Story 3* and *Monsters’ University* that make the 2010s a decade for Pixar that, while mostly (but not completely) good, is nowhere near phenomenal as it was the 2000s because... • They are WAY too technically proficient, especially *TS4* (although, if I could pick between the two which has worse animation, I’d have to go with *Toy Story 4* not only because they gave a character, which in this case, is an antique shop owner’s cat, a completely realistic design, but also because of what they did to Bo Peep, not just her design, but also her character, is a joke... Oh shit...) • While it’s great to make women and everyone else tough, the way they made Elastigirl/Helen Parr and Bo Peep “strong female characters” isn’t REALLY badass, but more like pushing a misandristic agenda down our throats that Disney considers “MUH FEMINISM”. • The continuity they have with their predecessors is barely existent. • The actors did try their hardest with the materials they were given, but because of how disappointing these films are with their “We’re not our predecessors, we’re just for kids, so we don’t have to try” attitude, the actors only gave out the best they could with the laughable scripts they were given, so of course the acting is far from some of the best in the universe, especially Huck Milner as Dash Parr and Annie Potts as Bo Peep(, Worse than Ever). • Although I do have to admit, if there’s something good that came out of these movies, (only) some of its characters like Bunny & Ducky, Frozone, Edna Mode and Duke Caboom are at least memorable for decent reasons.

I cant put it like peter in that one episode of family guy: Ah! Eh! Ha! He said it!

“Inoffensive” This movie was very offensive to me.

@@isaiah4820 inoffensive to snowflakes, immensely offensive to people over the age of 12 with a brain

Stuff happens, freaky doll chase scene. Stuff happens.

I like the movie and but yiur right it’s forgettable

It's dramatic irony that breaks Pixar's own rules of storytelling. Like the heavy emphasis on family and friendship present throughout 1-3, only for 4 to have Bonnie throw Woody out and get obsessed over Forky, and Woody ending up leaving the gang for Bo Peep despite Buzz rescuing him for Andy in the second. Not to mention all three of them, on a meta level, would be exactly what a toy would go through if it were granted sentience: 1. Toy gets envious of new toy owner gets, wants to get rid of it but ends up being friends with it later on. 2. Toy realizes it isn't a single toy, part of a lineup of discontinued toys, has to decide whether to stay with those toys or stay with owner's. Chooses third option. 3. Toy realizes owner grows up, can't play with it forever, goes to daycare, the daycare is Toy Hell, gets found by little kid and so the toy wants to stay with it and bring along buddies. The fourth one is so much of a weird marketing stunt to make *TOY STORY CHARACTER UNBOXING/MERCH EGG OPENING* videos on KZfaq so the franchise can stay relevant in the public consciousness that it hurts. Like, I'm entirely convinced that's why they made another movie. Nothing can die anymore, so they have to pump out another Toy Story with the flimsy justification of answering where the fuck Bo Peep went in 20 years.

I also think the film is unnecessary but I have to disagree with you on Toy Story 4 looking too realistic it looks good visually.

Toy story 4 had the most heart of all the movies gabby gabby alone is better than anything in the other movies

@@Anthonycheesman33 Gabby gabby was a complete waste of a character. The way she is written is cheap and her only real purpose in the story is to extend its length. If she had been written with any kind of consistency then either the beginning would make no sense or the ending would make no sense; take your pick. That's because her actions and motivations as a character come second to the plot. Because she has basically no character, she's just a plot contrivance, an obstacle to make the movie last longer and tries to justify her screen time by begging for audience sympathy through the lens of her abandonment issues. It's basically the same villain, again, for the third time in a row and it's getting old. By the end of the movie, it's almost impossible to imagine why people are so frightened of her. She never really does anything all that bad and what she does do as an antagonist seem completely at odds with her personality by the time they get around to establishing her as a character. Once the movie's blatant manipulation subsides, what you're left with is a story stuck, spinning its wheels for 40 minutes. The Prospector in Toy Story 2 is everything Gabby is, only with much better writing.

@@DrOmni shes easily the best written character in the franchise and is prob the best written villain in the last 20 years easily.

@@kieranstark7213 lol

To be honest, Toy Story 3 was not needed. I felt like you could have made the ending a standalone short film. The rest of the movie was HEAVILY flawed and was nowhere near as good as TS or TS2.

I saw Toy Story 4 on my 21st birthday. The only reason why I was excited to see Toy Story 4 (or at least I tried to be since I was worried TS4 would be nearly, if not quite the cash-grab it is,) is because I was just so impressed how great the Toy Story series was, and keep in mind, it was more than a duology since 2010 (the year and decade)! And when I saw it, I’m glad I’m reminded to never see it again.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I AM FUCKING SICK OF THESE MOVIES!!!!!! BECAUSE OF THEIR MISANDRY (AKA “SEXISM TOWARDS MEN”)!!!!!!! 🤬

😂😂😂 the problem isn’t that the women are stronger than the men. the problem is that the writing is bad, especially in the cases where the writing focuses on the difference rather than the story.

I like strong female characters, but not when they're so obviously forced. So yeah, there is indeed a pattern: forcing an agenda.

Bonnie was completely out of character in TS4. Previously she was a sweet, shy girl that took care of her toys. TS4 turned Bonnie into an unbearable brat that cries over a suicidal spork and whose only interaction with Woody was removing his Sheriff star to give it to Jessie just because.

Eat At Joe's Yea! And in this film woody didn’t even get his own opinion Woody would fight back if he herd is voice box was removed he would of found another way And Bo peep sucked. The didn’t need her at all really she was a blank slate and so was her sidekick “GiggleMCdimles” of whatever And the main cast was just useless sitting in a van while Bonnie was upset because her fork was missing.

@@aivreescend7945 @hindu_frappe The only one regressed was Buzz (and it seemed like it was for comedy purposes, but because they wanted to make him a weak beta like your "woke" behind is whining about). Also, Woody wasn't downgraded. His arc was about trying to find a purpose, after he realizes that Bonnie doesn't treat him the same as Andy. Also, Toy Story 4's message wasn't "forget your owners, they don't matter". Woody wanted Bonnie to matter, but he had to find a different place in the world, because he knew that Bonnie wouldn't be able to fill the hole that Andy life. You could literally simply anything.

The sequel has them coming to a *mutual agreement* about Elasticgirl going on missions. And don't forget that there was a quarrel about crime fighting and going back into being a superhero right after they fought the Underminer. There was even that intense dinner scene, *and* that scene where Mr. Incredible and Elastic talk about how they're afraid of going back into fighting, because they want to think about kids first. So there was definitely some quarreling going on. I'm sorry, but did you even watch the movie?

The emotionally satisfying and beautiful ending to Toy Story 3 "perfectly" capped Pixar's trilogy, according to Toy Story 4 director Josh Cooley. However, the folks at Pixar knew they had one more story to tell when it came to Woody. At a Pixar screening event, Cooley joined producers Jonas Rivera and Mark Neilsen to explain why it was so important to revisit the world of Woody, Buzz, and the rest of Andy's toys. “We love the end of Toy Story 3," Cooley. "It ends Woody and Andy's story perfectly. We realized there is more story to tell to continue Woody's story. And once we started going down the path… we hit upon something that was worth telling." Under the Andy regime, Woody was always the head organizer and leader of the other toys. He was Andy’s favorite, the chosen one who got to go on trips to Pizza Planet and develop the closest bond with the boy of the house. But at Bonnie’s place, things are different. Dolly, the purple-haired rag doll who’s got seniority on Woody in this new workplace of sorts, assumes the authority-figure role among the toys. In Toy Story 4, Woody struggles in his new life with Bonnie. He has her name on his boot, but not her heart. When Bonnie wants to play, she often leaves Woody behind on the floor of her closet. She even takes Woody’s sheriff badge and pins it on Jessie instead. It becomes clear that Bonnie doesn’t have much use for Woody anymore. Woody can't help comparing his new owner to his previous kid, and soon realizes that Bonnie doesn't seem to need him the way Andy did. Bonnie never had a true relationship with Woody. 1. Woody, a cowboy, is designed more for males than females. 2. Bonnie’s a child in the 21st century, and Woody is a doll made in the ‘50s. That was revealed in Toy Story 2 as the Woody’s Roundup show was in black and white. Bonnie was just changing her tastes and having her attention diverted somewhere else. She’s not a bad person for that. Even so, Woody is determined to do his part. So when it’s time for kindergarten orientation, he sneaks into Bonnie’s backpack, insistent that he must go with her because she’ll need a friend in this unfamiliar environment, even though Bonnie has made it clear that if she needed a friend, she probably wouldn’t choose Woody. All the other toys beg him not to go. He does it anyway. I realize this is a Disney-Pixar movie. But watching Woody’s insistence on inserting himself into a situation where he’s no longer needed made me think: it’s representing a real-life phenomenon in which older men refuse to step aside so that a new generation can step up, take charge, and prove that they are capable of running the show as well as capitalizing on opportunities and benefits that older men have enjoyed for decades. It also marks a shift in the point of view of the Toy Story movies. Bonnie trying to survive by herself can be struggling by adapting to slightly more advanced environments. Everyone has that certain something they need to help them through tough times. All your toys are trash. If they’re not in the garbage yet, they will be soon. Yes, even your most precious early aughts era McFarlane Toys Jason X Movie Maniac figure. I’m impressed that you’ve kept a hold of it for this long, but sooner or later you’re going to turn your back, and your mom, dad, brother, sister, wife, husband, father-time, peer-pressure, whatever will chuck it in the dustbin. Society tells us that we have to grow up, and even the Toy Story trilogy finished with the ultimate joy-killer of adulthood ruining Andy’s imagination by steering his plastic friends into the arms of the still-willfully creative child Bonnie. She’ll love them for now, but she’ll grow out of it, too. Kids lose interest in their toys someday. It’s totally normal. Jessie’s heartbreaking “When She Loved Me” in Toy Story 2 is proof. If the first Toy Story was asking “What if toys were alive?", Toy Story 2 "What happens to toys when we grow up?" and Toy Story 3 the same but in a more concrete manner, then Toy Story 4 is stepping away to get to the core. It's asking, plainly, "What is a toy anyway?" That's in the discussion from the opening sequence where Woody is torn between his own interests and duty to Andy, and pushed to the fore by Forky's creation via affection. Up until this movie, it was simple. Per Buzz recounting what he learned from Woody in Toy Story 2, "life's only worth living if you're bein' loved by a kid." But what does that say about life when a child grows up, or when you're left in the closet in favor of others? How can idealism really hold up to the real world? What Toy Story 4 finds is a less direct form of love. It's not just about a singular, personal relationship but the grand web of life one can find themselves in. And, of course, while Toy Story is ostensibly asking questions about the nature of toys in fictional confines, it's really going much deeper than that. The entire series is dealing with heady questions of human existence - of being replaced, of being broken, of loss - and since Toy Story 2 and Jessie's heartbreaking "When She Loved Me", it's been more directly addressing the constant fear and awareness of the inevitable end (how morbid you want to take that is up to you)

Toy Story 4 was unneeded but not necessarily bad. Besides money, I think their goal was to introduce a new generation of kids to the Toy Story franchise. That’s why they sidelined characters who kids couldn’t relate to like Jesse, Rex, etc. They did tarnish Woody’s character by making him leave Bonnie because he isn’t played with. I also think it didn’t feel like a Toy Story 4 with the cutaway gags and all the weird stuff. It also kind of cut off Woodys character development at the end of 3 when he’s over Andy and let’s him go. But in 4, Woody references Andy a numerous amount of times which was kind of weird. It wasn’t necessarily bad, it just wasn’t needed.
