I recently had the chance to watch an early screening of Toy Story 4, and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations. After being a bit disappointed by some recent Disney releases, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of Toy Story 4. While I was initially apprehensive about another sequel, this movie rekindled my love for the characters and introduced some wonderful new additions.
After feeling let down by the Aladdin remake, I was hesitant about Toy Story 4, but fortunately, it turned out to be a great sequel. Even though Toy Story 3 was quite emotional, Toy Story 4 managed to impress me and my daughters, leaving us eagerly awaiting the next installment.
Toy Story 4 has evolved; it's not all sweet and bubbly like before, it got that witty charm like Ralph Breaks the Internet. So, yes, there is adult humor, which makes this film great for adults as well, especially those that have grown up watching Toy Story. But, don't worry, the film is still okay for kids.
I will say some dark scenes may make kids a bit frightened. Even I jumped out my seat a couple of times. However, it's nothing too extreme. There were babies in the theater with us, and they seemed unbothered by it.
Toy Story 4 will have you laughing, cheering, and even in tears during those heartfelt moments. And, those new characters were an excellent added addition to the film too. My favorite new character is Forky, so hilarious!
Oh yeah, your questions about Bo Beep absence from the other Toy Story films will be answered.
Also, like with all Disney movies, make sure to stay and watch the ending credits to the very end, you don't want to miss a funny skit.

ABOUT TOY STORY 4
Woody (voice of Tom Hanks) has always been confident about his place in the world, and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. So when Bonnie’s beloved new craft-project-turned-toy, Forky (voice of Tony Hale), declares himself as “trash” and not a toy, Woody takes it upon himself to show Forky why he should embrace being a toy. But when Bonnie takes the whole gang on her family’s road trip excursion, Woody ends up on an unexpected detour that includes a reunion with his long-lost friend Bo Peep (voice of Annie Potts). After years of being on her own, Bo’s adventurous spirit and life on the road belie her delicate porcelain exterior. As Woody and Bo realize they’re worlds apart when it comes to life as a toy, they soon come to find that’s the least of their worries.Directed by Josh Cooley (“Riley’s First Date?”), and produced by Jonas Rivera (“Inside Out,” “Up”) and Mark Nielsen (associate producer “Inside Out”), Disney·Pixar’s “Toy Story 4” ventures to U.S. theaters on June 21, 2019.

I took Tayair to see it on his 27th birthday and we both enjoyed it. However, we never saw #2 or #3 so not sure how the story line evolved.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you both enjoyed the movie, I knew y'all would!
