The fourth and most recent entry in the Toy Story franchise was a major hit, just as its predecessors were upon their releases. Toy Story 4 not only received a 97% Fresh Rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but it also surpassed the billion dollar mark at the box office which is an incredible feat for any film, let alone an animated one.

Directed by Josh Cooley (Riley's First Date?) and produced by Jonas Rivera (Inside Out, Up) and Mark Nielson (Inside Out), the movie proves that the beloved franchise has legs that have carried it through not only four films, but also across two and a half decades, as the original Toy Story was released all the way back in 1995.

Tom Hanks and Tim Allen return to lend their impressive vocal talents to Sheriff Woody and Buzz Lightyear. Meanwhile, exciting new additions include the incredible comedic duo of Jordan Peele and Keegan Michael Key (Key and Peele, Rick and Morty) as Ducky and Bunny. Keanu Reeves (John Wick, The Matrix) and Tony Hale (Arrested Development, Community) also join as newcomers Duke Kaboom and Forky, respectively, to round out a stunning cast that makes for an unforgettable time.

If you haven't seen the film yet, do you think you'll be tuning in to Disney+ tomorrow to check it out? Let us know what you think down in the comments section after checking out the trailer and the synopsis, which we've included for you below!


On the road of life there are old friends, new friends, and stories that change you.

Woody 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. But when Bonnie adds a reluctant new toy called “Forky” to her room, a road trip adventure alongside old and new friends will show Woody how big the world can be for a toy.

Directed by Josh Cooley (Riley’s First Date?) and produced by Jonas Rivera (Inside Out, Up) and Mark Nielsen (associate producer of Inside Out).

Toy Story 4 will land on the Disney+ Streaming Service tomorrow, Wednesday, February 5th, 2020.

I finally rented it the other day. Did anyone else think it completely sucked? I liked Gabby Gaby and the vantriloquist dolls but besides that it felt like such a hollow Pixar sequel. Not at all on the level of Toy Story 3 or the other 2 classics. I felt pretty much nothing.

@SpideyPuffsMJ - I didn't think that it sucked, but I do think that the critical reception was better than it deserved. I've got a number of gripes:

- Predictability

- Buzz felt like he regressed

- The overly familiar structure of Woody being separated from the group for the bulk of the film

- Then having him part ways with them and trying to milk the heartbreak of that moment when they
haven't really invested us in his connection to the people he's leaving. Him separating from the
group undermined the themes presented in 2 and 3 of the group's bond as this vital constant in
their existence. "Besides, when it all ends, I'll have old Buzz Lightyear to keep me company... for
infinity and beyond."

- Trying to make us care about Bo Peep and Woody's relationship with her when they never gave much narrative weight to either in the first two movies

- Establishing that doll as the leader of Bonnie's toys at the beginning, then having Woody give Jesse the sheriff badge at the end as if they were lacking a leader.

- Gabby's redemption. Sure she's sympathetic in her motives, but so were the previous two villains. They don't do a great job of showing her realizing the error of her ways and making amends.

- Woody's lack of fulfillment with Bonnie undermines the ending of Toy Story 3 for me.

I enjoyed the film well enough, but ultimately I still wish they stopped at 3. I'm really hoping this doesn't win the Best Animated Feature Oscar. I'm pulling for both the How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World team and the Klaus team.

I thought it was a pretty good sequel/sendoff, still probably the weakest of the quadrilogy, tho.

Finally gonna have the chance to watch with with the family tomorrow!

I enjoyed the film but it's just not as good an ending to the series as Toy Story 3. The themes in that film were about growing up and moving on. Not sure what the theme of this film is other than a that of an normal romance story.

Can you imagine how angry Andy would be if he found out Bonnie abandoned and lost Woody?
Termin8er
Termin8er - 2/6/2020, 3:47 PM
@Nightwing1015 - Toy Story 3 was about Andy growing up and moving on. Not Woody. It was a false finality. So we want to end the story with Woody getting a new child, inevitably going through the same thing again? over and over? the theme of this one is growing up and accepting that your childhood is over. The whole series is about growing up, through the lens of a toy. Woody will never have what he had with Andy with anyone else, just like none of us will ever recapture the childhood we had now that we're adults.

Woody can now help the toys who have never had we had (and also got a second chance of having). It's kind of like he's becoming a parent.

Nightwing1015 - 2/7/2020, 3:21 AM
@Termin8er - "Toy Story 3 was about Andy growing up and moving on. Not Woody."

No that's completely wrong. Have you completely forgotten about this scene:
Termin8er
Termin8er - 2/10/2020, 2:58 PM
@Nightwing1015 - No, it's not completely wrong. It's the beginning of Woody moving on. Moving on to another kid, only to keep the cycle going, is hardly moving on. TS3 focuses more at the story at hand than woody moving on. we get bits and pieces of woody moving on, but TS4 has woody going through that the whole time. this scene from TS3 is about woody through his connection to andy. TS4 is about, which everyone here seems to fail to grasp, Woody growing and changing and moving on ON HIS OWN, and achieving his own sense of identity outside of andy/being someone else's toy. it's baffling how no one here can see any of this. having woody "grow up and move on", just to go to another child, and eventually go through the same thing over and over again, isn't a conclusive ending. if you think it is, power to you, but it's not. his identity is still tied to being someone's toy, and he's just entering a never ending cycle. TS4 gave him an end and a way to move on.

It's kind of like as a child, you grow up, and you achieve your own identity outside your parents and family. Woody is now taking control of his own life and making his own path/destiny.

But, if you all prefer the false end of 3 that sets him up for neverending heartbreak and a copy and paste cycle, power to ya
Nightwing1015
Nightwing1015 - 2/10/2020, 4:30 PM
@Termin8er - I understand your point about Woody. I just don't think the storyline makes sense.

Why should it only be Woody who has these feelings? Why don't other toys get a chance to develop their identities outside of their children. Why is it not a "neverending heartbreak and a copy and paste cycle" for all the other toys. If that were the case, then Toy Story 4 is actually a bleak and depressing ending as Woody is the only toy who made it out.
Termin8er
Termin8er - 2/10/2020, 4:37 PM
@Nightwing1015 - well i mean they can't do that for every toy. Woody is the oldest and was always the favorite. he's the main character. we see it through his eyes. that's what makes him special. to a degree you're right, it will happen to all of them. but you can't make the movie about all of them. it's always been woody's story. and i think what makes that ok is knowing that someday, when their owner has outgrown them, they can have a future of their own independent of ownership, just like woody. maybe they'll get a second and third chance and the cycle will continue, but for each of them the cycle will eventually end. i just think it's nice to know that once they're forgotten they can find another purpose.
Nightwing1015
Nightwing1015 - 2/10/2020, 5:03 PM
@Termin8er - Eh, I prefer Toy Story 3's ending. To me, it wasn't just about moving on from Andy. It was about choosing a future of being played with alongside his friends. Instead he just abandons his friends for Bo, a character who we barely even know from the original films.

That's what that moment was with him looking at the photo said to me. It was about him realising that his friends were more important to him than Andy and that he needed to let Andy grow up.
Termin8er
Termin8er - 2/12/2020, 11:25 AM
@Nightwing1015 - that's true, they were more important to him than andy. but as important as they are to him, they didn't need his help anymore, and neither did bonny. he realized there was a bigger world with other toys who could use his help. i like the idea of him becoming the shepherd, he had a great run with andy and got an opportunity for a second run with bonny. who better to help toys achieve that experience than a pro like him who had it but can't have it again? instead he can give it to others. And i wouldn't say Bo is someone we barely know, she's clearly the closest to him at the start of the first Toy Story. I think it's symbolic of growing up and becoming an adult or a parent.

The more I think about this movie, the more I dislike it. They ruined Bonnie by making her a little brat that treats Woody like shit. This movie takes place like a year after the last one at most and she just flips 180 into completely forgetting Woody? It totally contradicts Toy Story 3 where she was in love with Woody and promised Andy to take care of him.

They turned Buzz into a dumbass. How does he not know what an inner voice is? Did he not have one when he led the charge on an epic rescue mission for Woody in Toy Story 2? But now, he somehow thinks the buttons on his chest are his inner voice and uses them to make all his decisions for him.

It was so uncharacteristic of Woody to leave his owner and friends for his own selfish desires. Buzz and Woody would never separate. What ever happened to "To infinity and beyond"?

All the other toys barely had any screen time. The Potato Heads had like 1 line of dialogue.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - this is like complaining about Captain America's ending. these characters have to have endings at some point. and little kids get tired of things fast. Bonnie getting tired of woody makes total sense. the buzz stuff was weak, i'll give you that
THEDARKKNIGHT1939
THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 2/4/2020, 11:58 AM
@Termin8er - Well, now that you say it, I hated Cap's ending as well. But I won't go on with that.

Bonnie suddenly not caring about Woody makes Toy Story 3 pointless. Why should I care about her relationship with Woody in that movie, or the ending scene with Andy, if it's all for nothing? In order to justify Woody's uncharacteristic decision to leave an owner behind, they basically turned Bonnie into an enemy, which in turn betrayed Bonnie's established characteristics as well.
Termin8er
Termin8er - 2/4/2020, 12:18 PM
@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - i think that's a little harsh. TS3 shows that there is life for a toy after their original owner gives them up. TS4 shows that that life doesn't necessarily have to be a duplicate of the old one. i think you missed the entire point of woody's arc in 4. he's only leaving her behind because she doesn't need/want him. there are toys that DO need him. that's his new purpose. he can't keep doing the same thing forever. TS4 gave him finality.

i think you're looking at bonnie way too harshly. she's a young girl. she got tired of woody, and moved on to Jesse. makes sense to me.
THEDARKKNIGHT1939
THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 2/4/2020, 1:34 PM
@Termin8er - Toy Story 3 was finality. He moved on from Andy. All Toy Story 4 does is contradict the message of Toy Story 2, which is to put others needs above yourself. Woody has always been about that, and it's painfully obvious that the writers struggled with making him choose the opposite.
Termin8er
Termin8er - 2/4/2020, 4:24 PM
@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - nah dude. toy story 3 was woody getting another chance, which means he would just be in a cycle forever and ever. you're missing a crucial theme of Toy Story 2. Toy Story 2 is where Woody learns that eventually he's going to be forgotten about. he has the opportunity to be memorialized in a museum forever, which he contemplates because once he rips his arm, he realizes that he will eventually be replaced and lose his purpose as Andy's toy. so the solution is what, he becomes sommeone else's toy? and goes through the same thing again? that's not finality. having him accept he will never have what he had with andy is the perfect ending for him. it's not painfully obvious the writers struggled with that, they did it extremely well. he was torn, and in the end, buzz pushed him to do the right thing. to move on, to embrace his new purpose. woody was not their leader anymore, and he wasn't the favorite toy. it forced him to accept change and growth. just as he left everyone behind, it's time for us to leave woody behind.

Totally disagree with all of this. TS4 is way better than 3. 3 just has that phenomenal ending.

- the villain of 3 is literally the exact same villain as TS2. TS3 is just an extension of TS2 that has a great ending but it's not a complete ending

- Buzz still didn't get to do enough in TS4, but it was better than the Spanish shtick that wore off quick in TS4

- Woody got a complete ending that he didn't get in 3. The series is about growing up, but a toy's version. TS3 just continues the themes of TS2, but TS4 brings it to completion. Woody grew up and realized his old life was over and he had a new purpose.

- Also, the new toys were way more memorable. TS3 has been out for some time now, give TS4 some time and you might see how amazing it is

- best to worst: TS, TS2, TS4, TS3

"Beloved"

Lol not for me. Felt like an average straight to ABC special. But just two hours long. I will say, Pixar always finds ways to amaze me with the animation tho.
