TS3 is a lovely funny movie but it gets credit for really weird things, like for this scene which 'bravely confronts mortality'. But the ad still screams "people who drowned!" only these toys don't actually die. Both films are highly entertaining adventures. ![]() I've heard the argument that it's okay to compare TS3 to the cheese-tastic epic that is Titanic and I heartily agree on that point. it seems rather tasteless to equate toys in the garbage dump to the who died at sea when the Titanic sunk. The "Not since Titanic" ad is gorgeously composed but. And I can't see the connection in the photo either. I can't think, other than gender, how Jesse connects to Annie Hall (1977)? From body language to clothing, speaking patterns to personality, Jessie and Annie couldn't be any more different. By modern standards, that ending shouldn’t work… and yet it brings me to tears.Here's the two I find most problematic. So how does “Toy Story 4” follow up the most powerful ending in modern animation? By having Woody travel through a fairground with Bo Peep in order to get back into the rented RV to go home with Bonnie… which seems too simple to be true. The stakes have been raised to be about more than just Woody and Buzz. And by “Toy Story 3”, the finale involves a chase through a trash removal facility and a crane rescue from an incinerator. The first film ends with Woody and Buzz trying to use a remote control car and a rocket to catch a moving van. Toy Story had escalated the stakes from film to film. With the promise of new journeys, comes the promise of larger stakes, A.K.A escalation. “Toy Story 4 is a wonderful film, but as a sequel its a masterful display of how to move forward with franchise storytelling.”īut I think the most fascinating element of “Toy Story 4” is seen in its script, and how it handles de-escalation. The “haunted” antique shop relies on simple source lighting, detailed reflections, and proper depth of field to unease the audience, as those are horror movie tropes that would be lost without that attention to detail. And that focus on keeping light realistic is held throughout the entire film. And yet, it never looks fake for a single moment. The opening sequence is full of complex lighting, rain, characters, flowing water, and shadows. Or we could look at the exceptional animation that has been created for the film.

A simple example of this is found in Bo Peep, who has been overhauled for the film. I love how the characters have been given additional depth since the latest entry. I love Woody’s epilogue and what it has to say about finding purpose in life. I could write a thousand words about the quality of Josh Cooley’s directorial debut. Rather, it strives to answer the deepest questions of existence, growing up, and how our stories grow up with us. ![]() “Toy Story 4” isn’t just another entry in this beloved series. ![]() And for my money, “Toy Story 4” is the best of the bunch. These films hold a 98% average on Rotten Tomatoes and have grossed more money with each subsequent entry. Pixar’s Toy Story franchise isn’t new to the concept of a sequel, and outlines some of the best sequels of all time. And there are a plethora of challenges that come with creating new adventures for familiar characters. Since the dawn of stories, sequels have been a dominant form of art.
