"It was as effortlessly enjoyable" "Biggest gripe is we didn’t get enough of the classic characters. Not enough Slinky, that’s my BOY! Him, Rex, Hamm, Potato Heads we’re stuffed to the side which was pretty sad. Even Buzz wasn’t heavily featured" "The movie felt like a side story adventure to the main TOY STORY SAGA but that’s not a bad thing really"

this echos my exact thoughts. It felt like it was disconnected from the first 3. Like that was a saga and here is what happens after. The nostalgia factor was very very high with Woody and Bo though. I liked the ending. It pulled on the strings

It was more Woody story than Toy Story. That being said, amazing movie and made me tear up at the end.

it was GOOD. I think I would've enjoyed it more had I not gone in knowing that people are saying "IT MADE ME CRY SO MUCH IT'S JUST AS GOOD AS TS3!!" cuz it def wasn't. Like others have kinda said this felt like an epilogue/footnote to the story. It was FUN but didn't really pull on my heartstrings at all like the other ones did (even though I liked it more than 2 (I think) that one at least had the great When She Loved Me scene)

Forky def stole the show for me, I could've used more of him. The mid-credits bit with him was maybe the funniest part of the movie

The animation was def great, it was especially noticeable in the opening scene in the rain which seemed almost LIFELIKE. They were really showing off how far they've come since the first one there

Gabby Gabby was good and I liked the antique shop scenes in general, though her character change seemed a bit ABRUPT. I feel like they could've spent more time on her

And yeah it was weird how relegated all the non-Woody/Bo Peep characters felt, especially Buzz who was pretty one-note through the whole thing

don't do this to him.

I FINALLY saw this today.

I echo a lot of what you all have said. I thought it had a lot of charm and was well thought out and the animation was TOP NOTCH.

I agree that this was not a movie for the side characters. There was even a moment at the beginning where I wondered how much we were gonna see Buzz!

I had a great time. I was CHEESIN for most of the movie and I really enjoyed the ending. Toy Story 3 will always be my #1 but this was a fun watch.

this was SO GOOD! made me really emo the whole way through.

the movie was beautifully animated and the message was really good too. i was REALLY SURPRISED and a big fan. just wanted more jessie and buzz content

It was surprisingly good and probably better than Toy Story 3 but not as good as 1 and 2.

For real though Toy Story 3 is easily the worst but people think it's the best because its ending and furnace scene are emotionally manipulative and prey on nostalgia.

I disagree, Toy Story 3 was the most fun all the way through for me.

I liked TS3 all the way through but the ending does bump it up quite a bit for me. I don't think that's really a knock on it though, a good ending is maybe the single most important element of a movie for me. And the emotional punch it had had nothing to do with the series itself, it was more that it was a perfect portrayal of letting go of one's childhood

Sounds like they manipulated your emotions man, how DARE they!

I feel so violated

Hey Boc,

Have I talked to you about the Thing aka the greatest horror movie ending of all time?!?!
