Review of Toy Story 4 (2019) by Richmond95 — 05 Oct 2019
Toy Story 4 comes across as a really unnecessary sequel. While greatly animated no doubt, there are moments where this film looks absolutely stunning. But in terms of the narrative Toy Story 4 just isn't all that interesting.
Woody has an interesting character arc, but I don't buy that Bo Peep is the one to show him this arc, or that he would come to it for the reasons he does in the movie with his new owner. Forky feels like he's there mostly for comedic purposes than anything else.
Which is fine, but he plays too much a big part in the story for him not to feel more impactful. Buzz Lightyear is completely wasted in this movie, the jokes with him seem like something he'd go through in a much earlier film, or heck in the first film.
The veterans of the series are completely pointless, I don't see why they didn't make Bo Peep the main character and maybe leave the characters from Toy Story 3 where they were at the end of that film.
It's perfectly fine movie for kids overall, but I think the older audiences who grew up with the previous films much leave wanting a bit more.
