Toy Story 4

This was a beautiful tale of companionship, and it also explained the absence of Bo Peep in previous sequels. It could have been given a subtitle such as The Quest for Bo but it would have been too much of a giveaway and it might have even dissuaded some viewers. On the other hand; there were fewer laugh-out moments than previous sequels and I felt that the idea of using surreal flash-forwards to advance the plot was really milking it, and it was nearly on a par of cartoon violence with such productions as Family Guy. Some of the classic characters didn’t get enough screen time as they should have done; I think it would be much realistic if Hamm had tried to hack the sat-nav as traditionally he was the technology character. Disappointingly, there wasn’t any reference of Jessie’s previous relationship with Buzz. There was a great use of the antagonist; though you could easily see from its first appearance which character it would be. I felt that some of the characters weren’t strictly necessary and it seemed that they were only created to sell toys as merchandise; and thanks to Disney there’ll be more plastic forks in the ocean.
