There is a theory that Buzz's voice box does not work randomly and is actually associated with what he thinks subconsciously. I love your reactions, you are my favorite reaction channel, keep going.
I think Lotso’s goons messing with his voice box and switching his voice to Spanish from the last movie, and by the end of the movie going back to English. It really messed him up mentally.
@@GreatgunYu that's not true cus we see him go back to normal in the garbage truck scene and acts just like the buzz we all know and love for the rest of the movie, and we even see that in the shorts before toy story 4 too, but then in that movie he just turns into an idiot
@@GreatgunYu im not 100% sure about some of them but toy story of terror is and it doesn't matter cus he still goes back to normal near the end of toy story 3
@@mapleshadow22070 Thats true but damage doesn’t happen immediately, decline goes slowly. But then again, the other characters of Woody and Po peep were ruined this movie.
Since the first film, Woody helped other toys find their purpose and place, it was like that with Buzz, Jessie and all of them in the third film. Here he not only helps another toy with this, but also finds a new purpose for himself, a new home.
Yeah, He helped The Other Toys Find purpose, by teaching them his philosophy about Life only being Worth living If you're being loved by a Kid. In Toy Story 4, He does that in The Entire Movie with Forcky, Bo Peep and Gabby Gabby. And Then in The End Of The Movie, He Just betrays his own philosophy by abandoning his Child Behind.
@@drquem4279 "Life only being Worth living If you're being loved by a Kid." Yes, and he wasn't loved by Bonnie, he wasn't living his own philosophy, he spends the entire film discovering a new love that he can count on. A new philosophy is learned by the character, a new purpose is found after he understands that Andy will always be his child who also no longer needs him.
@@elissonfarias3918 It was a mischaracterization of Bonnie to suddenly make her not like him. Does she really like Buzz and Rex more? Bonnie chose Woody when she found him, and Woody chose Bonnie when he left Andy. It was a beautiful conclusion but suddenly random kids occasionally are better than Bonnie?
@@demo2823 Dude, you're talking about a growing child. There is no mischaracterization, she can like one thing now and another later. The 4 films talk about this, children are like that.
I really agree with your view on this movie! It's great how it shows different perspectives on how to live toy life: someone who doesn't want to be a toy, someone who was loved but now isn't, someone who is okay playing with any kid, not just one, and one who never had a kid but really wants to. And I agree that this movie has a great message about moving on and not being stuck with just one thought in mind. And we see it with every character and their arcs: Woody finally understands that he doesn't need to be with Bonnie, Bo Peep understands that being loyal is a great thing, Gaby Gaby understands that there are other kids than just this one girl she wanted to be with and so on.
As much as the choice is controversial, I do think the series led us to show that Andy really was the only kid for Woody. He just wasnt a Bonnie toy. His main struggle in 2 was wether Andy cared about him as much as he cared about Andy. In 3, despite noone having been played with in years and Sunnyside seemingly being a chance to finally be olayed with, he was still very insistent on everyone being with Andy. Also, the video game KINGDOM HEARTS III (which had a Toy Story epiaode co-produced with Pixar and is considered by them to be canon) gives the explanation for why Toys are alive. In this universe, the love of a child causes a toy to manifest a heart of their own.
wow, I didn't know that, it sounds meaningful: "In this universe, the love of a child causes a toy to manifest a heart of their own". And I also think that, for Woody, Andy was the only kid and he did have a deep loyalty and love to his kid.
Pretty sure the struggle for 2 was "do you wanna be played with one kid for a limited time then eventually get thrown out, or do you wanna basically live in what seems to be heaven." Which is also somewhat revisited in 3 but the only difference is in 3, toys are actually being played with, but the difference was "sure youre being played with, but you dont grow an attachment to a kid and any you DO get is fleeting because they're only there for a certain amount of time." 2 was a struggle of risking being played with and eventually broken and/or forgotten, 3 was about fleeting vs lasting relationships. Also to be fair about that theory, that's somewhat been the case with "The Pixar Theory" as a whole. Which by the way, if you listen to the director's commentary, they basically and actively $#!+ on it, where as every other Pixar movie and director either outright confirms it or simply just doesn't confirm or deny. Toy Story 4 is, as far as I know, the only one that actively rejects it.
If it takes a child for the toys to come alive, then the Prospector and Gabby Gabby wouldn't be alive. They never had a child to love them. It would be a nice sentiment if they stuck with it consistently.
@@Karamarika I think for the Pixar theory specifically, it's more general "memories" (or "emotions"? I'm forgetting at the moment) that bring the toy to life, not necessarily it NEEDING to be a child specifically. If you're curious on the details and the general progression of the theory (that I'm at least aware of), most of what I know of the theory comes from the Super Carlin Bros because there is a WHOLE lot of info I'm leaving out because it would be a paragraph and a half going over the whole thing.
I like that with each movie, we're exploring more places toys are likely to be. First it was a kid's room, then a toy store and a collector, then a daycare, and now a playground, antique shop, and carnival. I wonder what settings will be in future movies. Maybe we'll see the toy museum mentioned in the second movie and how those toys live.
I remember when I saw Toy Story 4 and I didn't see that ending coming, my heart brought tears when Woody said goodbye to all his friends, because I had seen them in the entire franchise always together since I was growing up, but he is happy with Bo Peep now, besides seeing how selfless he was now, giving away even his box of voice and his insignia 22:58 I lost my mind laughing at that part
You are such a great movie reactor, the way you completely ignore everyone else's opinions and form your own and actually pick apart the movies to figure out the themes and the messages they are trying to show is awesome. I also love that you show your emotions and don't try to hide them, some movies really make you feel big things and it's nice to see someone not shy away from that. Been watching your videos for a while now, stay cozy. ;)
Ok…did anyone else find it hella messed up and sad that Bonnie just moved on from Woody so fast when Andy was so hesitant on giving Woody up and believed he would be taken cared of by Bonnie so he didn’t end up taking him to college 😭 but she just forgets about him and he becomes a lost toy! Obviously it was a cute ending since he ended up being with Boe, but I just thought it was a bit sad. I actually like this movie tho, obviously not the best and I don’t like how dumb they made Buzz and how they didn’t show any of Jessie. That annoyed me, but I didn’t think it was horrible overall.
I mean I didn’t find it ‘messed up’ she’s a child playing with toys, in the context of the movie with them being alive it’s sad. But truthfully with kids playing with toys it’s normal and not that deep, she doesn’t know they’re alive. She’s just playing with her toys.
She is barely 5 years old dude. Kids love their toy but they love on super quick from stuff. Even more now days kids don’t particularly fall in love with their toys like they use to. You saw Andy’s sister. She was barely 10 and she easily got rid of Barbie no questions asked
I know that it is in-character for Woody to care so much about Forky, but I was never really invested in getting him back to Bonnie. That combined with Gabby not really being a villain made the story really lack that narrative drive. I think that contributes to this story feeling more unnecessary, even though it is a well told story. Also, I feel like Bo and Woody's interactions just feel off. I know Bo's gone through it in the intervening years and changed a person, but there's like 3-4 instances where she just disrespects Woody to his face with zero pushback from Woody, which does feel out of character for Woody who always had a prideful and sassy side.
Not every story needs a villain. This movie didn't lack narrative drive at all, and tbh most of the time straight up villains make stories one-dimensional, childish, even cartoonish. Gabby was a very well-written, redeemable antagonist, and she fit the theme of the story they were trying to tell in this movie perfectly. antagonists are much better narratively than villains 9 times out of 10, because they're more realistic. they make stories and characters more relatable. Woody crashed into Bo's new life and dragged her into his self-fulfilling mission. she knows the area and store better than he does, and he requested her help because of this. him following her lead, and her putting him in his place when he screws up isn't disrespectful. Kind of sounds like you just don't like a woman being in charge. Her attitude was no different than Woody's has been when he's led his group in the past few movies. Bo isn't a meek follower anymore like she was in the first movie. She has a new life and a new perspective, she's been on her own, making her own decisions. It makes sense that she won't just stand by and let Woody tell her what to do. Woody respects Bo enough to let her take the lead. That's how it should be. the person with the most experience or knowledge of a place/situation should be the one leading, regardless of gender.
@@MonAhgasInsomniAroELF To your first point, I am aware a villain or even an antagonist is not necessary for a well told story (see: My Neighbor Totoro) but for me personally if I'm not particularly invested in the exploration of the setting or the motivations of the protagonists, seeing how the protagonists overcome the forces of villainy does a lot to keep my interest. To your second point, I think it's incredibly droll that you immediately brought gender politics into this because my criticism would be applicable no matter what gender Bo was. It's not a major thing, but their interactions just feel awkward, it doesn't feel like these are friends that have known each other for years. Bo is (personally) way too terse, cold, abrasive, and strangely nonplussed by Woody acting exactly the way he always acts. Woody on the other hand, is weirdly incompetent, confused, and silent when we know he is very competent, intelligent, prideful and has a bit of a big mouth.
@@FloridatedH2OI think the reason why Woody and Bo's interactions weren't as smooth as before is because they haven't been together for a very long time. They both grew apart from each other and changed a part of themselves due to the circumstances that they had to endure. Tbh, I personally think their interactions made them more real, as it shows that their character-even if they are toys-aren't static.
I was definitely one of the people that left a comment saying I wasn't a fan of this movie. I'll own up to it. But I greatly appreciate watching your view even if I didn't like the film. It gave a few newer points to really think about. And I suppose I could agree that the movie could be viewed as a stand alone from the original three and start a new trilogy. I was really angry on how they portrayed Bonnie and stuff I know she is a little kid. But the bond they made in TS3 and how Andy expressed what it meant to him to let her keep Woody. And it felt like it was a short time between the films. It was really hard to see that neglect and stuff. Anyways it was a good watch simply to try and keep myself neutral and watch you. And appreciate your thoughts, thankyou for the entertainment.
I feel like people were too harsh with bunny she was 4-5 years old when she got the toys. I don’t rember a thing from my preschool years just vague memories of going to preschool. Playing with stuff. Family stuff. I honestly don’t remember what I played with at that age.
Rest In Peace Woody Strode 1914-1994 who they named Woody after Jim Varney 1949-2000 who voiced Slinky Dog Jonathan Harris 1914-2002 who voiced the cleaner Joe Ranft 1960-2005 who voiced Wheezy Paul Newman 1925-2008 who was considered to voiced Woody Steve Jobs 1955-2011 who was a shareholder of Pixar Roger Ebert 1942-2013 who was a famous film critic Robin Williams 1951-2014 who was considered to voiced Woody Bill Paxton 1955-2017 who was considered to voiced Buzz Don Rickles 1926-2017 who voiced Mr Potato Head Bud Lucky 1934-2018 who voiced Chuckles R Lee Ermey 1944-2018 who voiced Sarge Carl Reiner 1922-2020 who voiced Carl Reineroceros Ned Beatty 1937-2021 who voiced Lotso Jack Angel 1930-2021 who voiced Chunk Betty White 1922-2021 who voiced Bitey White Estelle Harris 1928-2022 who voiced Mrs Potato Head Jan Rabson 1954-2022 who voiced Spark and Carl Weathers 1948-2024 who voiced Combat Carl
*winces* If the voices of Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head can't come back to voice those characters, they're going to have to do something pretty different with Toy Story 5. There was no mistaking how the other toys, besides Woody and Buzz, were really pushed to the side in this movie. Maybe Toy Story 5 will focus ONLY on Woody and Buzz, maybe have a bit of Bo Peep, but have a bunch of completely new toys.
It has good jump scares, twists, funny moments,sad moments, cute wholesome moments, fun chaotic moments,scary creepy parts, tense moments. Good lessons it can be deep many deep meanings. I agree with your perspectives
I’m a strong advocate for this movie. I’ve read somewhere that originally the writing team couldn’t find a story or reason for this movie and a Pixar executive told them “Toy Story 3 was the end of Andy’s story. But it wasn’t the end of Woody’s.” To me this movie emulates so much important messaging. Finding new purpose. Learning to move on. From stages of life and more. Also that the people you interact with and become close to in life come and go but the experiences you have shared and lessons you learned will always bond you together. All this and so much more. Great movie. Even I’m not sure why they are doing or what they will do in Toy Story 5 but I will remain hopeful and optimistic that it will be just as great as the first 4!
I love this. You and I have the same view about it. Woody being so loyal needed to understand as well his purpose, and to do so, he needed to go through all of this, the final scene with Buzz he knows it too. I'm a big advocate for this film too. As a fan of the whole franchise, I don't care what people say
I think a lot of people just jump on the hate wagon. It’s like it’s cool to slam on certain movies and if people hear others doing it then they’re embarrassed to say they like it. I’m with ya. I like this one too.
@@olyabutorina6869 I don't know about that, I've seen grown people and people who've understood what the movie is trying to say make some pretty good points against the movie, but maybe those are the people who've just been around longer in the parts of the fandom I've seen
Toy Story 4 really split the fandom on if this was good or bad, heck one youtuber made a really long rant video too, I'm ok with this ending because throughout Woody's whole journey it was always prioritizing Andy's happiness and Bonnie's so now for once in his life he's finally letting himself make his own decisions and to have his own happiness and the important thing is that IT'S OK TO MAKE A DECISION THAT MIGHT BE SELFISH JUST DON'T DO IT A LOT. and also it's perfectly fine to like or hate anything just don't think it is good or bad because others tell you it is
This movie really shows how by kids not knowing about toys being alive, the toys can easily be emotionally hurt by them. It's been present in all the others, but this one, the toys taje a different path instead of things turning out all right in the end
Toy Story 1-2-3 : Let's freeze, ragdoll and stay shut in the presence of humans. OR we hide, we must not get caught. Toy Story 4 : Let's pretend no one pays attention that everything happens because of us and be totally reckless and exposed anytime we can.
And completely disregard anything and everything about the trilogy for the sake of propping up a character that is totally different than the character we knew from the first two movies all the while dumbing down every single male character in the movie. Also, have the main character we want to prop up be a jerk to everyone. Also, break every rule, saying, resolution, lesson, etc. the trilogy care-takingly took you through and made sure you understood the importance of. And then be shocked that people who love the trilogy hate this film. I hate Josh Cooley. He oked all of this.
I just love how the Toy Story Movies and also Disney/Pixar Movies in general, always have a deeper meaning. You can learn a lot from these movies, which is great.
I get why everyone doesn't like the fact that the group broke up, but in a way, it makes sense. As a group, they were Andy's toys. But Bonnie isn't Andy, and she's going to have a different bond with the toys. She doesn't need Woody the same way that Andy did.
@@jijitters Honestly this is why I have a hard time taking people seriously when they say this movie is bad. It really feels like you are the ones who do not understand Woody's character.
@kayden2119 Nah. You are the one who doesn't. The person responsible for Toy Story 4 was not the person responsible for the first 3 films and he said with his own nasty mouth that he was tired of Woody "always doing the same thing" and wanted him to do something "new." i.e. He looked consistent characterization in the face and spit on the concept for shock value.
There were aspects I really liked and really disliked about this movie. The two things I disliked were Buzz's weird regression (i don't understand why they dumbed him down so much. maybe for comedic effect? like trying to replicate what he was like in the first movie? but he's grown beyond that, so it wasn't even humorous, just weird and fell kinda flat), and Woody choosing to stay with Bo over staying with all his friends. i don't like the message that romantic love for a partner is superior to platonic love for friends/family. especially since Woody and Buzz's friendship is a core component to the overall series. when we think of these movies, we think of Woody and Buzz, not Woody and Bo, or even Woody and Andy. Their friendship and bond is the stabilizer and pillar of the entire multi-movie story. however since Woody also left because he had no purpose with Bonnie, and traveling with the carnival gives him the chance to help other kids and give him a new purpose, that I did like and agree with. tbh i wish Bo had been given to Bonnie along with the rest of them from the beginning, and then when Woody chose to stay behind, then she could have joined him and we could have that moment of Woody finding a new purpose and still getting to be with Bo, without the additional insinuation that romantic love trumps platonic love, since that wouldn't have been a factor in his reason to stay. Oh well. Another thing I loved was Gabby's arc/story. We had an irredeemable antagonist/villain in the last movie (Lotso), and in this one we had a redeemable antagonist. her finding and helping the lost little girl makes me cry every time. very satisfying ending for her character :) Overall, despite the aspects of the movie I didn't like, I still really enjoyed this Toy Story 4 to a point where am happy to still watch reactions to it, and I feel it was a perfectly adequate sequel and ending to the series. (except kind of not an ending if they're making another one i guess? maybe we'll follow an entirely new group of toys. i would kind of prefer that than continuing to follow this same group, since we already got an ending for them.) anyway, enjoyed your reaction and commentary!
I'm so glad you enjoyed this movie because it's my favorite of the series so far! Your interpretation of the movie being about parenting is interesting to me because that never occurred to me in all the times I've watched Toy Story 4. I've always viewed this movie as the period of time after you've achieved a dream and have to find a new one. It's like that moment after you graduate college and ask yourself, "what now?" I agree with you that Woody's growth in this movie is organic, and that it's natural for him to change his mind. But he doesn't really change it... He is always loyal to his kid when his kid needs him, but Bonnie doesn't need him anymore (shown by her not playing with him and not realizing when he's gone), so there's no kid for him to be loyal to. When he joins Bo Peep at the end, he transitions from student to teacher, which is a transition we all make at some point in our lives. He has mastered loyalty, compassion, and selflessness, and is now actively creating opportunities for other toys to learn these lessons as well. This really resonates with me as someone who loves mentoring. I love being able to share what I've learned with others and help them progress in their lives. It feels as if I'm them, actually accomplishing the things I advised them on. And as for Buzz, I think it makes total sense that he doesn't understand consciousness because at first he was functioning based purely off of his "programming" (Toy Story 1), and then he was basically listening to the opinions of the toys around him (Toy Story 2 & 3). This is his first experience having to make decisions completely on his own. I can't wait to see where they go with the 5th movie! I'm hoping for Andy to return to some degree!
I think this was one of the deepest reactions, so, honestly, bravo. I love to see people spotting symbolism, especially meaninful symbolism, which family matters clearly are to you. I also appreciate the positivity - to find that lense, as you said, through which the film becomes great on another level, even if it's not your favourite. I think that shows your ability to see beauty in the world, and that's an amazing ability, which, by the way, kids often have, but adults lose. Keep it up!
Dude, recently found your videos through your Friends reactions (favorite show ever) and you're just a vibe. These videos are so chill after a long day of work. Congrats on the success so far and hope to see you hit 100k subs!
This movie grew on me over time. Toy Story 3 is still my favorite, but I really don't hate this one, either. The first thing I will always remember about 4 is the very first thought I had about it: Just how INSANELY good it looks. And, your talk at the end actually kind of got to me. I was best friends with someone for a whole lot of years. We were really close. But a couple of years ago I realized that not everything was the same anymore. Unfortunately we went our separate ways, and not in the best possible way, either. I doubt we'll ever see each other again but I still think about her all the time. And I miss all the fun times we had together.
Yes! Here we go! This one made me jump a lot, and cry a few times. But even though it's unnecessary, I think this is a good closing movie for this saga. Great reaction, glad to see you're doing well 😊
I like the story, but it still makes me sad that Andy didn't want to give Woody away, but he de because Bonnie was gonna take care of him. In the end, he was the first toy she outgrew. It feels like he should be with Andy to come full circle. 🤠
I don't know why some people don't think this measures up to the other three. In the first three, Woody was clearly the leader, but he has lost that role. Jesse getting his sheriff star shows that Bonnie thinks of her as a leader, and Dolly is the clear toy leader of the house. Woody's leadership responsibilities have been taken on by others and he is free to live his own life, like Bo Peep.
Exactly, because Woody had always been a born leader, but within Bonnie's group he no longer had that role :"( I was so touched when Woody gave his sheriff star to Jessie
@@RandomDragonEXE - Well, as Bo said, toys get lost all the time, and I don't think Bonnie would miss him, or even notice since he had been relegated to the closet.
@@jowbloe3673 most kids notice that a toy is missing, so I'm sure Bonnie would even if she's not currently playing with him. Also, she could still decide to play with him, as there was a scene where she played with him and Forky in the montage.
40:30 your reactions your commentary your understandings your views on what its about i totally didn't see most of it i thought of it Abit but yeah you Opened up my eyes to alot . You are really the best TH-camr reactor .
Thanks for the trip down memory lane! I teared up when Gabby found herself a kid, when Woody and Bo Peep were reunited, and when Woody and Buzz said their goodbyes. I had a theory that when Bonnie created Forky, she poured all her love into him and by signing her name on him, she officially sealed his fate as her toy. 🤠🧑🏻🚀💛❤️💙
I completely agree with you when it comes down to the fact that change is part of everybody's existence or at least it should be. Woody had to understand that it wasn't his obligation to make all children happy. He made Andy's childhood special. So he did his job. Now is the story as strong as the first three maybe maybe not. But the concept holds that everyone has their time. I've heard the series of the fifth movie and I hope that they go along with the storyline coming back around to Andy with his first child. Fingers crossed
Came for the Friends, stayed for animated movies (AND Friends!) ❤️ Your videos are one of the biggest highlights of every week. If you need a palette cleanser, I'd love you to react to Disney's Lady and the Tramp from 1955. In a way, some Disney staff regard it to being the most "adult" of Walt's movies. It's a lovely movie. :)
The way I scared myself at the end of the video when I glanced at your Marshmallow plushie and it actually looks interested in your final thoughts on the film 😂
EXACTTTLLLYYY!! Up til this movie came out I could safely say that Cars 2 was the worst. But this blew that one out of the water! Like gigantic ocean where Cars 2 lost it's way and Toy Story 4 comes barreling through and knocks Cars 2 out of the way, surpassing it by 100 times as much as they screwed up with Cars 2! I hate TS4!!! It is not cannon in my mind. It doesn't deserve to be seen or even exist!
Did you know that, just in Toy Story 1, I believe, the reason we didn't see the faces of the people was because they all had basically the same face, and they made them each look distinct with different hairstyles.
Toy Story 4 is a fine standalone movie, and you have some good points during this reaction that I hadn’t really thought of. When I saw this movie in cinema it just felt like Pixar was trying to emotionally manipulate me? We said goodbye to them all at the end of Toy Story 3, and it felt like they were just trying to make me say goodbye to them again, but I had already had that closure so it felt cheap. But you definitely have good points about parenthood, Woody’s journey, the values and such. I was very biased seeing this movie originally. It was nice that you stayed positive and open minded going into this and through it, helped me get a new perspective.
42:39 I was trying to figure out why I actually prefer this one in some ways and that is exactly it. It felt much more relatable to me, which meant I was emotionally invested on a deeper level, but I couldn't put my finger on why that was. But your explanation here really resonated with me, I think that was a key difference between this movie and the original trilogy and also explains why so many people who love the first three movies, especially if nostalgia is involved, hate the fourth one. But some of the moments in this felt so real in a more complicated, sort of grown up way, which really spoke to me.
Should also do Lightyear reaction next. So basically Buzz in Toy Story is a toy based on a movie Andy watched before getting the toy. So Lightyear is meant to be that specific movie Andy watched within that Toy Story universe.
Great reaction!! It made me like the movie more, haha. I think the differences between Buzz and Bo would be my biggest detractions, but overall a good movie. In the case of Buzz, I imagine that he's not really dumber; but he's sort of relaxed now. In the other movies there were big driving conflicts; an existential crisis in number 1, a rescue in number 2, and an escape in number 3. In this one, he's not as involved in the plot; he didn't really see how much Bonnie needed Forky, like Woody did. Mainly, he was trying to cope with understanding why Woody thought it was so important, and being supportive to a friend who was, in a degree, drifting away. In number 2 it did highlight his growth from the naivety of the first movie, but in number 3, it did have moments where he was somewhat oblivious. I imagine that he's more intent under pressure, and that he's a little disturbed that Woody is moving in a different direction; losing, in a sense, the leader he'd been beside since he first began the Toy Life. So he's trying to get that guidance from a different source, and turns to what he thinks-- or hopes-- has some direction to give him. Buzz had to make a hard decision too, to support his best friend choosing to go seperate ways. So I imagine his whole voice thing showed some aspect of him listening to HIMSELF. It did accidentally steer him right a few times. Also, I think they wanted to highlight the whole voice box thing, showing at first how important it is, then showing, no, it's not the voice box-- it's the inner voice that matters. Woody learned it, Gabby learned it, and Buzz learned it. As for Bo, I kind of liked how sweet and supportive she was in the first two movies, with a little quiet sense of sass. They made her "cooler" though, to make her into as much of a leader as Woody always was. I think it would have been more interesting if they gave us sweet quiet Bo Peep at the beginning scene, then showed the difference to that-- showed how she had changed and grown-- and using that to illustrate the point for Woody that even though things are changing that isn't necessarily bad. Just a few thoughts! Good job, can't wait to see what the next one is!
My headcanon for how good Buzz's voice box works so well through the movie is that the "spanish Buzz" stayed as some kind of inner personality inside him
I definitely was bitter with this movie when it came out, I HATED it that ending, but rewatching it with you and listening to your review did make me hate it less. There are moments that I love and make me laugh, others that almost make me cry, and above all, I do think this is an enjoyable movie. I still don’t like it though, still hate that they didn’t just left the story with the third one (and don’t even get me started on this winning the Oscar over Klaus, agh). Great reaction! As always, I love your channel and am happy for the growth it’s having
Many use that as pity argument, but after his "factory reset" he got his memories back and acted normally after having a TV falling on him. Now if he DID receive some "brain damage" (which would be odd him being a toy), that would be a bit more believable inside the Toy Story universe,
the one thing that i didn't love in the movie was that all of the other toys were kind of abscent, didn't have lines, etc. But that movie has also made me cry so so much, especially the first time i saw it.
toy story 4 was a surprise but a welcome one. I think people miss the point to this movie. 3 is still the ending to the original trilogy. They passed on the toys so they’d be able to have more adventures. yes this movie wasn’t exactly needed but it tells a beautiful story about toys just like all the others. In the first it’s woody learning to share the spotlight. second is woody releasing the worth of playing with andy even if it’s not forever. third is the gang coming to terms with with their owner no longer wanting to play with them and them being handed down to another child. this movie is woody learning that just because he was andy’s favorite toy it doesn’t mean that he will have the same experience with another child. he grew and decided to take fate into his own hands similar to what he wanted in toy story 2 but now it makes sense because bonnie is not woodys kid
I agree. I've heard people say that this sequel is unnecessary, but I think it's important for the toys' perspective. The original trilogy is about a kids moving on from their toys. But this movie addresses toys moving on from their kids.
@@psionoblast5379 Exactly! personally i never felt that toy story 3 was a perfect ending for the toys i just felt it was a perfecting ending to the andy trilogy. this movie had a story to tell and it was beautiful
Marshmallows 😂 this seems like a good movie I didn't really care for the spork but it was nice to see woody reconnect with bow, it's too bad all the toys couldn't be together
It's not that I DON'T like it. It's not bad. But I think it wasn't necessary. I really think that 3 wraps it up so perfectly that makes ot a perfect trilogy.
This is my thought as well. Additionally, it feels so thematically different than the rest of the movies that somehow if it was called "Woody's Story" I would have liked the movie better.
I watched this movie in the theater with my friends and there was a bunch of lil kids around us with their parents and when the ending came me and my friends were in tears even some of the parents were sniffing and some of the kids looked at us with the “why are you crying” faces they didn’t understand..😭
I didn’t like the movie when I watch it, but your explanation at the end of the video gave me a new found appreciation for it b/c I can understand where you’re coming from
I'm glad you saw that it makes sense for Bonnie to play with Jessie over Woody. Some people are aghast that Bonnie would ever prefer another toy because she promised Andy (an adult she doesn't know) a year prior that she would look after Woody. It's a good thing that Bonnie sees herself represented in her toys and it makes a lot of sense that not all kids have the same favorite toy in a given set.
I think the bigger issue is that we're not given a reason as to why she suddenly doesn't like Woody anymore. She loved him in 3. It would make more sense if she only stopped playing with Woody after she makes Forky, like how Andy briefly preferred Buzz over Woody because Buzz was the new toy.
@@xeduskkids are fickle like that especially at that age. 1 year is enough for a kid to change and form their own preferences and toys get replaced all the time.
@@hiccupasterisk Yes, I know. But this is a story. Bonnie is not a real kid. She is a character and her decisions are the decisions of a writer. People are expecting a consistency for these films. When there is a lack of consistency, this causes the audience to question things and that distracts from the film. It wouldn’t have been a lot of work to have Bonnie wait until 5 minutes into the film before putting Woody in the closet.
@@xedusk yes, she's not a real kid, but the writers are making the conscious choice to write her as a real person. That's why she acts that way. It's not a lack of consistency if the character is consistently acting like a real kid would.
@@xedusk well she liked woody a lot - before she had a Jessie. I mean imagine being Bonny. You have a cool cowboy toy, that is absoluty your favorite. And then you get that toy, but as a girl just like herself. Of course she goes on to play withe the lady sheriff, she can imagine that´s her, she has a girltoy to be friends with that she can relate better to and it is much more of a fitting rolemodel for a girl
I don’t think Gabby earned a redemption like she got. They had a good chance to make the message that anyone can be loved and accepting yourself but instead she gets exactly what she wants and learns nothing in the process. If they would have had someone find her and love her despite her flaws I think the ending would land better.
4 is my personal favorite. Aside from the massive upgrade in graphics and great new characters it also has the most important moral of any of them, that life is better when you don't have kids and live your own life 🤣. Bo Peep is a true savior.
So true. Being loyal and acting that deep sense of commitment, it's incredible. I'm glad Woody was able to step down, allow others to take the lead and for him to let go. It's awesome to see that happen. He is needed elsewhere. Reminds me of my own walk in the faith. Been to the same church for almost 3 years and saved for less than 2. I found a group who is teaching parables, prophecies, and fulfillment in the New Testament, especially because it spells out what to do to be ready for Jesus' return. I didn't know this in church, before this group. I barely found this group in February, 5 months ago. Now I need to leave that church that led me to Jesus, and that's okay. It's like moving from elementary to deeper, mature teaching. Higher teaching and it will allow me to guide others who are ready. I am grateful for how God used those people to help me get to know Him, but now it's time for me to commit and actually keep the new covenant. See ya at the mountain! Stay blessed! ❤
When I was young, back in 2013, I wrote a *Toy Story 4* plot all by myself. In it, Woody goes on a daring rescue to save his new friend, Kody, a bullied toy that was stolen by 2 robbers and soon discovers where they had taken her to: a factory where each, every, and ALL toys from around the world had been taken to a "witch" who knew about their secret, by using a special crystal that she uses to see it and tries to make it MORE powerful by turning all of the toys into her slaves. Plus, I even had Buzz and Jessie become parents with 3 children: 2 daughters named Angela and Erika and 1 son named Andy. Plus, even had Woody have a new girlfriend/love interest with an Native American doll too! And it was all good. Like... really, REALLY good 👍 And when I showed the story to a couple friends from our church, and when one of them read my story, he was absolutely astounded of how much I written out. And in his mind (also telling me), that my story is WAY BETTER than this movie 6 years later.
That´s sounds so incredible!!! Like someone who loves fanfictions I can imagine that my self from that time would have excited reading your history. (Sorry for the bad english, I am not a native speaker, I wrote this with my poor language education, jaja😅).
I'm sorry, but I just cannot bring myself to like this movie. The characters and how they were written in the past 3 movies were not kept in mind when making it. I could talk about all of them but they turned Bo Peep into one of those feminists that like to berate men. She is a total bitch to woody in this movie. What exactly does that teach to young women? If you treat men like crap they will stay with you??? The movie really did break my heart. Toy Story 1 is my all time favorite PIXAR movie and is the sole reason as to why I am an animation major for PIXAR.
I love the lesson of the movie. Woody clearly wasn't anything special for Bonnie, so rather than staying in a bad relationship just because it's "your job" or duty, Woody decides to live for himself.
Except his relationship with Bo Peep was way more toxic. She really did treat him like shit in this movie. It doesn’t make sense for him to stay with her instead of all of his friends and Bonnie
@@MysticClaws100 Huh? How did she treat him like shit or toxic?? If anything you can she was being mean to him if you're sensitive but really she was just being teasing.
@@Whispernyanso real. They don't even let him explain himself about the whole thing with buzz and immediately kick him out of Andy's room and several times try to stop him in 1
I didn't care much for this one when I first saw it. It might have been because I grew up watching the others and I was an adult when this one came out. But this review made me enjoy it more. Great video as always!
I can see why people don’t enjoy this one as well, but I agree with you, I really enjoyed this movie. Loved your reactions and analysis of these movies, thanks for sharing!
I love that Unicorn is the most amoral thing ever 😁 living to the true mythical vibe instead of the misconception that made unicorns the "girly" toys in the first place 🦄🔪👹
It's ok to read all the comments and to see why other people dislike this movie. But I think it's great that you have your own opinion and you seem to understand this movie. Also, I really disagree with a comment here that it was a character assassination. Like WTH? A little bit overdramatic? I liked this movie and I also see a lot of development of Woody's character. Maybe the movie wasn't necessary but it was certainly not bad and I was glad I watched it in cinema. People probably had also high expectations for this one, but I just enjoyed it and was happy to see my favourite characters again. :-)
character development is when beholder follows said character through his journey(Woody). character assassination is when you switch personality off screen(Buzz, Bo)
I don’t think this movie is bad, it just makes me sad in a bad way. I guess bc I watched the first three movies when I was little, I kind of feel betrayed by Bonnie’s carelessness for Woody. Although it is a realistic portrayal of live and people growing apart. And I guess I never really liked it in any kind of media, when a character chooses their love interest above their entire friend group. Always kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Thank you btw I really like your honest reactions and reviews! And I'm happy you enjoyed this movie :D
I love this one and the 3rd one best. I enjoy all 4 as a set though. I know people like to nitpick every single movie, not just this series. That can make movies fun to discuss if done calmly, but more often people just go off the rails. That’s when it gets annoying. One set is determined to “be right” over the others when these works are really up to us to interpret and affect us individually. I enjoyed your views and interpretations. Some things I hadn’t thought about. 👍🏼
Honestly the inner-voice thing that Buzz does is kinda dumb, but also funny to think about. Because Buzz is wondering where his “voice” comes from, like who is the literal voice actor. It’s kinda interesting to think about, because the voice is in a sense, not completely his own because it was a recording by someone else. So the misunderstanding stems from him having a curiosity about how he was literally made. Also, I’m with you about the Benson’s being creepy. 😂 Though I do feel a little bad for them too since they can’t really talk on their own. They depend on a ventriloquist to provide it for them.
I still think they should have had Woody and the crew get given to Andy's son, not the girl. Then Andy as an adult could enjoy playing with his old toys with his kid.
The main reason I didn't care for this one is that Forky is literally and figuratively, a throw away character. The story pretty much could have been the same without him. Also, if he'd not been there that time could have been spent fleshing out Gabby, which is why I just didn't have any feeling for her one way or the other. It was all just a big waste of time waiting for Woody to reunite with Bo and find a new purpose. Plus we had so little time with Bonnie's original toys. I just think it was poorly executed.
It would be neat to see reactions to Toy Story of Terror and Toy Story That Time Forgot. I think they are pretty fun short films and explore some interesting concepts!
There is still Toy Story shorts like 1.Toy Story treats (is from TH-cam) 2.partysaurus Rex 3.Hawaiian vacation 4.small fry 5.Toy Story of terror 6.that time I forgot 7.lamp life
For me, this movie is 50/50. There are some really good elemts in here that I love seeing explored. Like how a toy comes to life because a kid loves them. Even Woody leaving could have been done so well because what I think the movie is trying to say is that after years of being loyal, being there for his kid and being a leader, Woody now has to decide for himself to be happy and pass on the knowledge. Thats a great message really when you look at the franchise as a whole. But like so many movies and media these days, it just was executed the best. Mostly because of Bonnie just suddenly not liking Woody anymore despite how sad she looked thinking Andy was going to take Woody at the end of three AND Bopeep being pretty rude and cynical to Woody throughout the movie. There are good parts and I dont think its disrespect yo the franchise like so many others. It just wasnt worthy of following the third which reallly would have been a good way to end the franchise as it is.
You be you, man. I also really like this movie, people act like there are many animated movies who survived after the sequel and keep being great: Shrek peaked at the second movie, Ice Age got worse and worse after the first, Despicable Me followed the same path (Minions 1 was not even good). People clinged too much to TS3 (which is a perfect movie) that they feel a fourth was unnecessary (which is kinda true) but there were big shoes to fill so I also think this movie did a good job (yes, it has many flaws, especially Buzz) but amazing jokes, probably my favorites from the four movies. Loved your perspective about parenting and the parallel these movies present, never crossed my mind.
I feel like this movie is fine, but I think it should have been a new set of toys with a new kid. A lot of the characters don't feel the same, like how Buzz is really stupid now. It would make sense if this was a different Buzz. Also, a lot of the people that voiced these characters are dead now, like Potato Head and Slinky. It would make sense to retire the characters.
i really love this movie! i know its gotta very mixed opinions on it but I myself feel it's good. To me it's the type of movie series where you can make multiple of this since there is so many toys out there you can bring into the mix and make stories into. I understand some people don't like the choice of Woody leaving everyone to go with Bo, but as the movie showed us Bonnie didn't seem to care much for him anymore and he felt his purpose was done when he got Forky back to her. Both woody and buzz are supposed to be in toy story 5 so they will probably write some way where they find each other again.
That moment with the lost little girl makes me cry every time I see it
Make you want to give her a hug and help her out
Literally
Gabby finally got played with
Literally the only good thing about the movie and I still have gripes with the toy that inevitably "helps" her.
I love that you immediately caught Keanu’s voice.
That was impressive. I was shocked when I read it was him on IMDB. Did not recognize him one bit during the movie when I originally watched it.
Would duke be even liked ir rememberd if it wasnt him voicing him I mean that's about the only thing people say on the character
Same
"I wonder what it'd be like, to be a toy, and be alive, inside a cat..." Ah, the eternal philosophical question...
There is a theory that Buzz's voice box does not work randomly and is actually associated with what he thinks subconsciously. I love your reactions, you are my favorite reaction channel, keep going.
I think Lotso’s goons messing with his voice box and switching his voice to Spanish from the last movie, and by the end of the movie going back to English. It really messed him up mentally.
@@GreatgunYu that's not true cus we see him go back to normal in the garbage truck scene and acts just like the buzz we all know and love for the rest of the movie, and we even see that in the shorts before toy story 4 too, but then in that movie he just turns into an idiot
@@mapleshadow22070 Are those shorts canon to the movies though?
@@GreatgunYu im not 100% sure about some of them but toy story of terror is and it doesn't matter cus he still goes back to normal near the end of toy story 3
@@mapleshadow22070 Thats true but damage doesn’t happen immediately, decline goes slowly. But then again, the other characters of Woody and Po peep were ruined this movie.
Since the first film, Woody helped other toys find their purpose and place, it was like that with Buzz, Jessie and all of them in the third film. Here he not only helps another toy with this, but also finds a new purpose for himself, a new home.
Yeah, He helped The Other Toys Find purpose, by teaching them his philosophy about Life only being Worth living If you're being loved by a Kid.
In Toy Story 4, He does that in The Entire Movie with Forcky, Bo Peep and Gabby Gabby. And Then in The End Of The Movie, He Just betrays his own philosophy by abandoning his Child Behind.
@@drquem4279 "Life only being Worth living If you're being loved by a Kid." Yes, and he wasn't loved by Bonnie, he wasn't living his own philosophy, he spends the entire film discovering a new love that he can count on. A new philosophy is learned by the character, a new purpose is found after he understands that Andy will always be his child who also no longer needs him.
@@drquem4279 o caraio, tu fala portugues e eu te respondendo em ingles kkkkk
@@elissonfarias3918 It was a mischaracterization of Bonnie to suddenly make her not like him. Does she really like Buzz and Rex more? Bonnie chose Woody when she found him, and Woody chose Bonnie when he left Andy. It was a beautiful conclusion but suddenly random kids occasionally are better than Bonnie?
@@demo2823 Dude, you're talking about a growing child. There is no mischaracterization, she can like one thing now and another later. The 4 films talk about this, children are like that.
I really agree with your view on this movie!
It's great how it shows different perspectives on how to live toy life: someone who doesn't want to be a toy, someone who was loved but now isn't, someone who is okay playing with any kid, not just one, and one who never had a kid but really wants to.
And I agree that this movie has a great message about moving on and not being stuck with just one thought in mind. And we see it with every character and their arcs: Woody finally understands that he doesn't need to be with Bonnie, Bo Peep understands that being loyal is a great thing, Gaby Gaby understands that there are other kids than just this one girl she wanted to be with and so on.
As much as the choice is controversial, I do think the series led us to show that Andy really was the only kid for Woody. He just wasnt a Bonnie toy.
His main struggle in 2 was wether Andy cared about him as much as he cared about Andy.
In 3, despite noone having been played with in years and Sunnyside seemingly being a chance to finally be olayed with, he was still very insistent on everyone being with Andy.
Also, the video game KINGDOM HEARTS III (which had a Toy Story epiaode co-produced with Pixar and is considered by them to be canon) gives the explanation for why Toys are alive. In this universe, the love of a child causes a toy to manifest a heart of their own.
wow, I didn't know that, it sounds meaningful: "In this universe, the love of a child causes a toy to manifest a heart of their own". And I also think that, for Woody, Andy was the only kid and he did have a deep loyalty and love to his kid.
Pretty sure the struggle for 2 was "do you wanna be played with one kid for a limited time then eventually get thrown out, or do you wanna basically live in what seems to be heaven." Which is also somewhat revisited in 3 but the only difference is in 3, toys are actually being played with, but the difference was "sure youre being played with, but you dont grow an attachment to a kid and any you DO get is fleeting because they're only there for a certain amount of time."
2 was a struggle of risking being played with and eventually broken and/or forgotten, 3 was about fleeting vs lasting relationships.
Also to be fair about that theory, that's somewhat been the case with "The Pixar Theory" as a whole. Which by the way, if you listen to the director's commentary, they basically and actively $#!+ on it, where as every other Pixar movie and director either outright confirms it or simply just doesn't confirm or deny. Toy Story 4 is, as far as I know, the only one that actively rejects it.
If it takes a child for the toys to come alive, then the Prospector and Gabby Gabby wouldn't be alive. They never had a child to love them. It would be a nice sentiment if they stuck with it consistently.
@@Karamarika I think for the Pixar theory specifically, it's more general "memories" (or "emotions"? I'm forgetting at the moment) that bring the toy to life, not necessarily it NEEDING to be a child specifically.
If you're curious on the details and the general progression of the theory (that I'm at least aware of), most of what I know of the theory comes from the Super Carlin Bros because there is a WHOLE lot of info I'm leaving out because it would be a paragraph and a half going over the whole thing.
Yeah Woody was really longing for the days where he'd be played with by Andy
I like that with each movie, we're exploring more places toys are likely to be. First it was a kid's room, then a toy store and a collector, then a daycare, and now a playground, antique shop, and carnival. I wonder what settings will be in future movies. Maybe we'll see the toy museum mentioned in the second movie and how those toys live.
Yeah I really like how each movie explores a whole new theme
I remember when I saw Toy Story 4 and I didn't see that ending coming, my heart brought tears when Woody said goodbye to all his friends, because I had seen them in the entire franchise always together since I was growing up, but he is happy with Bo Peep now, besides seeing how selfless he was now, giving away even his box of voice and his insignia
22:58 I lost my mind laughing at that part
it just makes me so sad because in the back of my mind I think Andy should have kept him. Bonnie never really wanted him the way Andy did.
yeah, sometimes I wonder the same thing too, how it would have been like that
@@Eli-bj2ik yeah Bonnie doesn't know how to keep a toy like Woody
You are such a great movie reactor, the way you completely ignore everyone else's opinions and form your own and actually pick apart the movies to figure out the themes and the messages they are trying to show is awesome. I also love that you show your emotions and don't try to hide them, some movies really make you feel big things and it's nice to see someone not shy away from that. Been watching your videos for a while now, stay cozy. ;)
Ok…did anyone else find it hella messed up and sad that Bonnie just moved on from Woody so fast when Andy was so hesitant on giving Woody up and believed he would be taken cared of by Bonnie so he didn’t end up taking him to college 😭 but she just forgets about him and he becomes a lost toy! Obviously it was a cute ending since he ended up being with Boe, but I just thought it was a bit sad. I actually like this movie tho, obviously not the best and I don’t like how dumb they made Buzz and how they didn’t show any of Jessie. That annoyed me, but I didn’t think it was horrible overall.
I mean I didn’t find it ‘messed up’ she’s a child playing with toys, in the context of the movie with them being alive it’s sad. But truthfully with kids playing with toys it’s normal and not that deep, she doesn’t know they’re alive. She’s just playing with her toys.
She is barely 5 years old dude. Kids love their toy but they love on super quick from stuff. Even more now days kids don’t particularly fall in love with their toys like they use to. You saw Andy’s sister. She was barely 10 and she easily got rid of Barbie no questions asked
Yeah, kinda. But these other two people already said what needed to be said.
@@clover2739 maybe found it unfortunate woulda been better wording 😂 but I just felt bad for Woody was really my point.
To Andy, Woody was a family keepsake from his mother. To Bonnie, Woody is another toy given to her by a random man, a couple months ago. Lol
35:50 “dad’s totally going to jail” had my entire theater erupt in laughter, it was incredible
35:51
I really like his kindness and the way he talks
Who's kindness?
@@x.mono.x4011Oscars kindness, the guy reacting
I know that it is in-character for Woody to care so much about Forky, but I was never really invested in getting him back to Bonnie. That combined with Gabby not really being a villain made the story really lack that narrative drive. I think that contributes to this story feeling more unnecessary, even though it is a well told story.
Also, I feel like Bo and Woody's interactions just feel off. I know Bo's gone through it in the intervening years and changed a person, but there's like 3-4 instances where she just disrespects Woody to his face with zero pushback from Woody, which does feel out of character for Woody who always had a prideful and sassy side.
The proudest men turn into kittens when faced by that one woman, don´t they? :P
Not every story needs a villain. This movie didn't lack narrative drive at all, and tbh most of the time straight up villains make stories one-dimensional, childish, even cartoonish. Gabby was a very well-written, redeemable antagonist, and she fit the theme of the story they were trying to tell in this movie perfectly. antagonists are much better narratively than villains 9 times out of 10, because they're more realistic. they make stories and characters more relatable.
Woody crashed into Bo's new life and dragged her into his self-fulfilling mission. she knows the area and store better than he does, and he requested her help because of this. him following her lead, and her putting him in his place when he screws up isn't disrespectful. Kind of sounds like you just don't like a woman being in charge. Her attitude was no different than Woody's has been when he's led his group in the past few movies. Bo isn't a meek follower anymore like she was in the first movie. She has a new life and a new perspective, she's been on her own, making her own decisions. It makes sense that she won't just stand by and let Woody tell her what to do. Woody respects Bo enough to let her take the lead. That's how it should be. the person with the most experience or knowledge of a place/situation should be the one leading, regardless of gender.
@@MonAhgasInsomniAroELF To your first point, I am aware a villain or even an antagonist is not necessary for a well told story (see: My Neighbor Totoro) but for me personally if I'm not particularly invested in the exploration of the setting or the motivations of the protagonists, seeing how the protagonists overcome the forces of villainy does a lot to keep my interest.
To your second point, I think it's incredibly droll that you immediately brought gender politics into this because my criticism would be applicable no matter what gender Bo was. It's not a major thing, but their interactions just feel awkward, it doesn't feel like these are friends that have known each other for years. Bo is (personally) way too terse, cold, abrasive, and strangely nonplussed by Woody acting exactly the way he always acts. Woody on the other hand, is weirdly incompetent, confused, and silent when we know he is very competent, intelligent, prideful and has a bit of a big mouth.
@@FloridatedH2OI think the reason why Woody and Bo's interactions weren't as smooth as before is because they haven't been together for a very long time. They both grew apart from each other and changed a part of themselves due to the circumstances that they had to endure. Tbh, I personally think their interactions made them more real, as it shows that their character-even if they are toys-aren't static.
Can't wait for you to watch Finding Nemo!
And then finding dory.
Not Pixar giving us a Goosebumps animated version of Slappy.
I was definitely one of the people that left a comment saying I wasn't a fan of this movie. I'll own up to it.
But I greatly appreciate watching your view even if I didn't like the film. It gave a few newer points to really think about. And I suppose I could agree that the movie could be viewed as a stand alone from the original three and start a new trilogy.
I was really angry on how they portrayed Bonnie and stuff I know she is a little kid. But the bond they made in TS3 and how Andy expressed what it meant to him to let her keep Woody. And it felt like it was a short time between the films. It was really hard to see that neglect and stuff.
Anyways it was a good watch simply to try and keep myself neutral and watch you. And appreciate your thoughts, thankyou for the entertainment.
I feel like people were too harsh with bunny she was 4-5 years old when she got the toys. I don’t rember a thing from my preschool years just vague memories of going to preschool. Playing with stuff. Family stuff. I honestly don’t remember what I played with at that age.

*winces* If the voices of Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head can't come back to voice those characters, they're going to have to do something pretty different with Toy Story 5. There was no mistaking how the other toys, besides Woody and Buzz, were really pushed to the side in this movie. Maybe Toy Story 5 will focus ONLY on Woody and Buzz, maybe have a bit of Bo Peep, but have a bunch of completely new toys.
@@SevenEllenthey can't make many more. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are getting up there.

It has good jump scares, twists, funny moments,sad moments, cute wholesome moments, fun chaotic moments,scary creepy parts, tense moments.
Good lessons it can be deep many deep meanings.
I agree with your perspectives
I’m a strong advocate for this movie. I’ve read somewhere that originally the writing team couldn’t find a story or reason for this movie and a Pixar executive told them “Toy Story 3 was the end of Andy’s story. But it wasn’t the end of Woody’s.”
To me this movie emulates so much important messaging. Finding new purpose. Learning to move on. From stages of life and more. Also that the people you interact with and become close to in life come and go but the experiences you have shared and lessons you learned will always bond you together. All this and so much more.
Great movie. Even I’m not sure why they are doing or what they will do in Toy Story 5 but I will remain hopeful and optimistic that it will be just as great as the first 4!
I love this. You and I have the same view about it. Woody being so loyal needed to understand as well his purpose, and to do so, he needed to go through all of this, the final scene with Buzz he knows it too. I'm a big advocate for this film too.
As a fan of the whole franchise, I don't care what people say
I think a lot of people just jump on the hate wagon. It’s like it’s cool to slam on certain movies and if people hear others doing it then they’re embarrassed to say they like it. I’m with ya. I like this one too.
I feel like people who hate on this movie, didn't understand the lesson in it. Or too young to understand the lesson.
@@olyabutorina6869 I don't know about that, I've seen grown people and people who've understood what the movie is trying to say make some pretty good points against the movie, but maybe those are the people who've just been around longer in the parts of the fandom I've seen
@@lacp1975 Same I genuinely enjoyed TS4 despite what many folks say
Toy Story 4 really split the fandom on if this was good or bad, heck one youtuber made a really long rant video too, I'm ok with this ending because throughout Woody's whole journey it was always prioritizing Andy's happiness and Bonnie's so now for once in his life he's finally letting himself make his own decisions and to have his own happiness and the important thing is that IT'S OK TO MAKE A DECISION THAT MIGHT BE SELFISH JUST DON'T DO IT A LOT. and also it's perfectly fine to like or hate anything just don't think it is good or bad because others tell you it is
This movie really shows how by kids not knowing about toys being alive, the toys can easily be emotionally hurt by them.
It's been present in all the others, but this one, the toys taje a different path instead of things turning out all right in the end
Toy Story 1-2-3 : Let's freeze, ragdoll and stay shut in the presence of humans. OR we hide, we must not get caught.
Toy Story 4 : Let's pretend no one pays attention that everything happens because of us and be totally reckless and exposed anytime we can.
And completely disregard anything and everything about the trilogy for the sake of propping up a character that is totally different than the character we knew from the first two movies all the while dumbing down every single male character in the movie. Also, have the main character we want to prop up be a jerk to everyone. Also, break every rule, saying, resolution, lesson, etc. the trilogy care-takingly took you through and made sure you understood the importance of. And then be shocked that people who love the trilogy hate this film. I hate Josh Cooley. He oked all of this.
I just love how the Toy Story Movies and also Disney/Pixar Movies in general, always have a deeper meaning. You can learn a lot from these movies, which is great.
I get why everyone doesn't like the fact that the group broke up, but in a way, it makes sense. As a group, they were Andy's toys. But Bonnie isn't Andy, and she's going to have a different bond with the toys. She doesn't need Woody the same way that Andy did.
Andy's a better owner
People don't like the ending because it's trashy (and not in line with Woody as a character) to ditch his friends for a girlfriend.
@@jijitters Honestly this is why I have a hard time taking people seriously when they say this movie is bad. It really feels like you are the ones who do not understand Woody's character.
@kayden2119 Nah. You are the one who doesn't. The person responsible for Toy Story 4 was not the person responsible for the first 3 films and he said with his own nasty mouth that he was tired of Woody "always doing the same thing" and wanted him to do something "new." i.e. He looked consistent characterization in the face and spit on the concept for shock value.
@@jijitters People who talk like you are just bad news lmao. Always angry with something. Get some joy man
There were aspects I really liked and really disliked about this movie. The two things I disliked were Buzz's weird regression (i don't understand why they dumbed him down so much. maybe for comedic effect? like trying to replicate what he was like in the first movie? but he's grown beyond that, so it wasn't even humorous, just weird and fell kinda flat), and Woody choosing to stay with Bo over staying with all his friends. i don't like the message that romantic love for a partner is superior to platonic love for friends/family. especially since Woody and Buzz's friendship is a core component to the overall series. when we think of these movies, we think of Woody and Buzz, not Woody and Bo, or even Woody and Andy. Their friendship and bond is the stabilizer and pillar of the entire multi-movie story. however since Woody also left because he had no purpose with Bonnie, and traveling with the carnival gives him the chance to help other kids and give him a new purpose, that I did like and agree with. tbh i wish Bo had been given to Bonnie along with the rest of them from the beginning, and then when Woody chose to stay behind, then she could have joined him and we could have that moment of Woody finding a new purpose and still getting to be with Bo, without the additional insinuation that romantic love trumps platonic love, since that wouldn't have been a factor in his reason to stay. Oh well. Another thing I loved was Gabby's arc/story. We had an irredeemable antagonist/villain in the last movie (Lotso), and in this one we had a redeemable antagonist. her finding and helping the lost little girl makes me cry every time. very satisfying ending for her character :) Overall, despite the aspects of the movie I didn't like, I still really enjoyed this Toy Story 4 to a point where am happy to still watch reactions to it, and I feel it was a perfectly adequate sequel and ending to the series. (except kind of not an ending if they're making another one i guess? maybe we'll follow an entirely new group of toys. i would kind of prefer that than continuing to follow this same group, since we already got an ending for them.) anyway, enjoyed your reaction and commentary!
I'm so glad you enjoyed this movie because it's my favorite of the series so far! Your interpretation of the movie being about parenting is interesting to me because that never occurred to me in all the times I've watched Toy Story 4. I've always viewed this movie as the period of time after you've achieved a dream and have to find a new one. It's like that moment after you graduate college and ask yourself, "what now?" I agree with you that Woody's growth in this movie is organic, and that it's natural for him to change his mind. But he doesn't really change it... He is always loyal to his kid when his kid needs him, but Bonnie doesn't need him anymore (shown by her not playing with him and not realizing when he's gone), so there's no kid for him to be loyal to. When he joins Bo Peep at the end, he transitions from student to teacher, which is a transition we all make at some point in our lives. He has mastered loyalty, compassion, and selflessness, and is now actively creating opportunities for other toys to learn these lessons as well. This really resonates with me as someone who loves mentoring. I love being able to share what I've learned with others and help them progress in their lives. It feels as if I'm them, actually accomplishing the things I advised them on. And as for Buzz, I think it makes total sense that he doesn't understand consciousness because at first he was functioning based purely off of his "programming" (Toy Story 1), and then he was basically listening to the opinions of the toys around him (Toy Story 2 & 3). This is his first experience having to make decisions completely on his own. I can't wait to see where they go with the 5th movie! I'm hoping for Andy to return to some degree!
I think this was one of the deepest reactions, so, honestly, bravo. I love to see people spotting symbolism, especially meaninful symbolism, which family matters clearly are to you. I also appreciate the positivity - to find that lense, as you said, through which the film becomes great on another level, even if it's not your favourite. I think that shows your ability to see beauty in the world, and that's an amazing ability, which, by the way, kids often have, but adults lose. Keep it up!
Dude, recently found your videos through your Friends reactions (favorite show ever) and you're just a vibe. These videos are so chill after a long day of work. Congrats on the success so far and hope to see you hit 100k subs!
This movie grew on me over time. Toy Story 3 is still my favorite, but I really don't hate this one, either. The first thing I will always remember about 4 is the very first thought I had about it: Just how INSANELY good it looks. And, your talk at the end actually kind of got to me. I was best friends with someone for a whole lot of years. We were really close. But a couple of years ago I realized that not everything was the same anymore. Unfortunately we went our separate ways, and not in the best possible way, either. I doubt we'll ever see each other again but I still think about her all the time. And I miss all the fun times we had together.
Yes! Here we go! This one made me jump a lot, and cry a few times. But even though it's unnecessary, I think this is a good closing movie for this saga. Great reaction, glad to see you're doing well 😊
I like the story, but it still makes me sad that Andy didn't want to give Woody away, but he de because Bonnie was gonna take care of him. In the end, he was the first toy she outgrew. It feels like he should be with Andy to come full circle. 🤠
I don't know why some people don't think this measures up to the other three.
In the first three, Woody was clearly the leader, but he has lost that role. Jesse getting his sheriff star shows that Bonnie thinks of her as a leader, and Dolly is the clear toy leader of the house.
Woody's leadership responsibilities have been taken on by others and he is free to live his own life, like Bo Peep.
Exactly, because Woody had always been a born leader, but within Bonnie's group he no longer had that role :"(
I was so touched when Woody gave his sheriff star to Jessie
but even if he lost that leadership role, he's still Bonnie's toy. He should've stayed with her as loyalty is his core trait
@@RandomDragonEXE - Well, as Bo said, toys get lost all the time, and I don't think Bonnie would miss him, or even notice since he had been relegated to the closet.
@@jowbloe3673 most kids notice that a toy is missing, so I'm sure Bonnie would even if she's not currently playing with him. Also, she could still decide to play with him, as there was a scene where she played with him and Forky in the montage.
I loved TS4. I think it was far superior to 3. Idk why anyone wouldn't enjoy it. Maybe they just don't get it.
14:27 yeah...that's one of the reasons a lot of people don't like this one. they REALLY dumbed Buzz down in this one...way too much to be justifiable.
Blame the main writers you should go listen to them on TH-cam it's really disgusting.
40:30 your reactions your commentary your understandings your views on what its about i totally didn't see most of it i thought of it Abit but yeah you Opened up my eyes to alot .
You are really the best TH-camr reactor .
18:30 Boo Monster's Inc cameo 😁
Thanks for the trip down memory lane! I teared up when Gabby found herself a kid, when Woody and Bo Peep were reunited, and when Woody and Buzz said their goodbyes. I had a theory that when Bonnie created Forky, she poured all her love into him and by signing her name on him, she officially sealed his fate as her toy. 🤠🧑🏻🚀💛❤️💙
I completely agree with you when it comes down to the fact that change is part of everybody's existence or at least it should be. Woody had to understand that it wasn't his obligation to make all children happy. He made Andy's childhood special. So he did his job. Now is the story as strong as the first three maybe maybe not. But the concept holds that everyone has their time. I've heard the series of the fifth movie and I hope that they go along with the storyline coming back around to Andy with his first child. Fingers crossed
Came for the Friends, stayed for animated movies (AND Friends!) ❤️ Your videos are one of the biggest highlights of every week. If you need a palette cleanser, I'd love you to react to Disney's Lady and the Tramp from 1955. In a way, some Disney staff regard it to being the most "adult" of Walt's movies. It's a lovely movie. :)
The way I scared myself at the end of the video when I glanced at your Marshmallow plushie and it actually looks interested in your final thoughts on the film 😂
I think this is the worst pixar movie ever because having woody just betray his entire character in the first 3 was the dumbest thing i have ever seen
EXACTTTLLLYYY!! Up til this movie came out I could safely say that Cars 2 was the worst. But this blew that one out of the water! Like gigantic ocean where Cars 2 lost it's way and Toy Story 4 comes barreling through and knocks Cars 2 out of the way, surpassing it by 100 times as much as they screwed up with Cars 2! I hate TS4!!! It is not cannon in my mind. It doesn't deserve to be seen or even exist!
Did you know that, just in Toy Story 1, I believe, the reason we didn't see the faces of the people was because they all had basically the same face, and they made them each look distinct with different hairstyles.
Toy Story 4 is a fine standalone movie, and you have some good points during this reaction that I hadn’t really thought of.
When I saw this movie in cinema it just felt like Pixar was trying to emotionally manipulate me? We said goodbye to them all at the end of Toy Story 3, and it felt like they were just trying to make me say goodbye to them again, but I had already had that closure so it felt cheap.
But you definitely have good points about parenthood, Woody’s journey, the values and such. I was very biased seeing this movie originally. It was nice that you stayed positive and open minded going into this and through it, helped me get a new perspective.
42:39 I was trying to figure out why I actually prefer this one in some ways and that is exactly it. It felt much more relatable to me, which meant I was emotionally invested on a deeper level, but I couldn't put my finger on why that was. But your explanation here really resonated with me, I think that was a key difference between this movie and the original trilogy and also explains why so many people who love the first three movies, especially if nostalgia is involved, hate the fourth one.
But some of the moments in this felt so real in a more complicated, sort of grown up way, which really spoke to me.
Should also do Lightyear reaction next.
So basically Buzz in Toy Story is a toy based on a movie Andy watched before getting the toy. So Lightyear is meant to be that specific movie Andy watched within that Toy Story universe.
Great reaction!! It made me like the movie more, haha. I think the differences between Buzz and Bo would be my biggest detractions, but overall a good movie. In the case of Buzz, I imagine that he's not really dumber; but he's sort of relaxed now. In the other movies there were big driving conflicts; an existential crisis in number 1, a rescue in number 2, and an escape in number 3. In this one, he's not as involved in the plot; he didn't really see how much Bonnie needed Forky, like Woody did. Mainly, he was trying to cope with understanding why Woody thought it was so important, and being supportive to a friend who was, in a degree, drifting away. In number 2 it did highlight his growth from the naivety of the first movie, but in number 3, it did have moments where he was somewhat oblivious. I imagine that he's more intent under pressure, and that he's a little disturbed that Woody is moving in a different direction; losing, in a sense, the leader he'd been beside since he first began the Toy Life. So he's trying to get that guidance from a different source, and turns to what he thinks-- or hopes-- has some direction to give him. Buzz had to make a hard decision too, to support his best friend choosing to go seperate ways. So I imagine his whole voice thing showed some aspect of him listening to HIMSELF. It did accidentally steer him right a few times. Also, I think they wanted to highlight the whole voice box thing, showing at first how important it is, then showing, no, it's not the voice box-- it's the inner voice that matters. Woody learned it, Gabby learned it, and Buzz learned it.
As for Bo, I kind of liked how sweet and supportive she was in the first two movies, with a little quiet sense of sass. They made her "cooler" though, to make her into as much of a leader as Woody always was. I think it would have been more interesting if they gave us sweet quiet Bo Peep at the beginning scene, then showed the difference to that-- showed how she had changed and grown-- and using that to illustrate the point for Woody that even though things are changing that isn't necessarily bad.
Just a few thoughts! Good job, can't wait to see what the next one is!
I forgot how they made Buzz a complete idiot in this movie. Thanks, now I hate all over again.
That toy with the drum, just before the guy on the motor cycle, was from Pixar's first short, Tin Toy.
My headcanon for how good Buzz's voice box works so well through the movie is that the "spanish Buzz" stayed as some kind of inner personality inside him
I definitely was bitter with this movie when it came out, I HATED it that ending, but rewatching it with you and listening to your review did make me hate it less. There are moments that I love and make me laugh, others that almost make me cry, and above all, I do think this is an enjoyable movie. I still don’t like it though, still hate that they didn’t just left the story with the third one (and don’t even get me started on this winning the Oscar over Klaus, agh).
Great reaction! As always, I love your channel and am happy for the growth it’s having
Thinking about it, perhaps Buzz's factory reset in the previous movie had something to do with him relying on his own "voice box" or something?
Many use that as pity argument, but after his "factory reset" he got his memories back and acted normally after having a TV falling on him. Now if he DID receive some "brain damage" (which would be odd him being a toy), that would be a bit more believable inside the Toy Story universe,
Don't you forget he still came up with metal idea after that?
I highly recommend watching the second lion king, too! it's amazing ❤
the one thing that i didn't love in the movie was that all of the other toys were kind of abscent, didn't have lines, etc. But that movie has also made me cry so so much, especially the first time i saw it.
toy story 4 was a surprise but a welcome one. I think people miss the point to this movie. 3 is still the ending to the original trilogy. They passed on the toys so they’d be able to have more adventures. yes this movie wasn’t exactly needed but it tells a beautiful story about toys just like all the others.
In the first it’s woody learning to share the spotlight.
second is woody releasing the worth of playing with andy even if it’s not forever.
third is the gang coming to terms with with their owner no longer wanting to play with them and them being handed down to another child.
this movie is woody learning that just because he was andy’s favorite toy it doesn’t mean that he will have the same experience with another child. he grew and decided to take fate into his own hands similar to what he wanted in toy story 2 but now it makes sense because bonnie is not woodys kid
I agree. I've heard people say that this sequel is unnecessary, but I think it's important for the toys' perspective. The original trilogy is about a kids moving on from their toys. But this movie addresses toys moving on from their kids.
@@psionoblast5379 Exactly! personally i never felt that toy story 3 was a perfect ending for the toys i just felt it was a perfecting ending to the andy trilogy. this movie had a story to tell and it was beautiful
Marshmallows 😂 this seems like a good movie I didn't really care for the spork but it was nice to see woody reconnect with bow, it's too bad all the toys couldn't be together
I love your perspective about this movie. I really like this ending like this!
The moment when Woody and the other toys say goodbye to each other always hits me In the feels, including them seeing Bo again after nine years ago.
2:39 the animation on this scene is just 🤌🏼
It's not that I DON'T like it. It's not bad. But I think it wasn't necessary. I really think that 3 wraps it up so perfectly that makes ot a perfect trilogy.
This is my thought as well. Additionally, it feels so thematically different than the rest of the movies that somehow if it was called "Woody's Story" I would have liked the movie better.
I watched this movie in the theater with my friends and there was a bunch of lil kids around us with their parents and when the ending came me and my friends were in tears even some of the parents were sniffing and some of the kids looked at us with the “why are you crying” faces they didn’t understand..😭
Oliver is just so wonderful. He's a joy to watch!
You mean Oscar?
Never before has a movie so egregiously destroyed its own protagonist for no reason.
22:58 I lost my mind laughing at that part..
I love your reactions..You should react to the Toy Story shorts too, they're cool
I didn’t like the movie when I watch it, but your explanation at the end of the video gave me a new found appreciation for it b/c I can understand where you’re coming from
I'm glad you saw that it makes sense for Bonnie to play with Jessie over Woody. Some people are aghast that Bonnie would ever prefer another toy because she promised Andy (an adult she doesn't know) a year prior that she would look after Woody. It's a good thing that Bonnie sees herself represented in her toys and it makes a lot of sense that not all kids have the same favorite toy in a given set.
I think the bigger issue is that we're not given a reason as to why she suddenly doesn't like Woody anymore. She loved him in 3. It would make more sense if she only stopped playing with Woody after she makes Forky, like how Andy briefly preferred Buzz over Woody because Buzz was the new toy.
@@xeduskkids are fickle like that especially at that age. 1 year is enough for a kid to change and form their own preferences and toys get replaced all the time.
@@hiccupasterisk Yes, I know. But this is a story. Bonnie is not a real kid. She is a character and her decisions are the decisions of a writer. People are expecting a consistency for these films. When there is a lack of consistency, this causes the audience to question things and that distracts from the film. It wouldn’t have been a lot of work to have Bonnie wait until 5 minutes into the film before putting Woody in the closet.
@@xedusk yes, she's not a real kid, but the writers are making the conscious choice to write her as a real person. That's why she acts that way. It's not a lack of consistency if the character is consistently acting like a real kid would.
@@xedusk well she liked woody a lot - before she had a Jessie. I mean imagine being Bonny. You have a cool cowboy toy, that is absoluty your favorite. And then you get that toy, but as a girl just like herself. Of course she goes on to play withe the lady sheriff, she can imagine that´s her, she has a girltoy to be friends with that she can relate better to and it is much more of a fitting rolemodel for a girl
I don’t think Gabby earned a redemption like she got. They had a good chance to make the message that anyone can be loved and accepting yourself but instead she gets exactly what she wants and learns nothing in the process.
If they would have had someone find her and love her despite her flaws I think the ending would land better.
4 is my personal favorite. Aside from the massive upgrade in graphics and great new characters it also has the most important moral of any of them, that life is better when you don't have kids and live your own life 🤣. Bo Peep is a true savior.
So true. Being loyal and acting that deep sense of commitment, it's incredible. I'm glad Woody was able to step down, allow others to take the lead and for him to let go. It's awesome to see that happen. He is needed elsewhere.
Reminds me of my own walk in the faith. Been to the same church for almost 3 years and saved for less than 2. I found a group who is teaching parables, prophecies, and fulfillment in the New Testament, especially because it spells out what to do to be ready for Jesus' return. I didn't know this in church, before this group. I barely found this group in February, 5 months ago. Now I need to leave that church that led me to Jesus, and that's okay. It's like moving from elementary to deeper, mature teaching. Higher teaching and it will allow me to guide others who are ready. I am grateful for how God used those people to help me get to know Him, but now it's time for me to commit and actually keep the new covenant. See ya at the mountain! Stay blessed! ❤
Those Ventriloquist dolls give me the creeps. Like slappy from goosebumps
When I was young, back in 2013, I wrote a *Toy Story 4* plot all by myself. In it, Woody goes on a daring rescue to save his new friend, Kody, a bullied toy that was stolen by 2 robbers and soon discovers where they had taken her to: a factory where each, every, and ALL toys from around the world had been taken to a "witch" who knew about their secret, by using a special crystal that she uses to see it and tries to make it MORE powerful by turning all of the toys into her slaves.
Plus, I even had Buzz and Jessie become parents with 3 children: 2 daughters named Angela and Erika and 1 son named Andy. Plus, even had Woody have a new girlfriend/love interest with an Native American doll too! And it was all good. Like... really, REALLY good 👍
And when I showed the story to a couple friends from our church, and when one of them read my story, he was absolutely astounded of how much I written out. And in his mind (also telling me), that my story is
WAY BETTER than this movie 6 years later.
That´s sounds so incredible!!!

Some movies to review for your consideration - Sexy Beast, The Talented Mr Ripley, Election, Drugstore Cowboy - all amazing
I'm sorry, but I just cannot bring myself to like this movie. The characters and how they were written in the past 3 movies were not kept in mind when making it. I could talk about all of them but they turned Bo Peep into one of those feminists that like to berate men. She is a total bitch to woody in this movie. What exactly does that teach to young women? If you treat men like crap they will stay with you??? The movie really did break my heart. Toy Story 1 is my all time favorite PIXAR movie and is the sole reason as to why I am an animation major for PIXAR.
I love the lesson of the movie. Woody clearly wasn't anything special for Bonnie, so rather than staying in a bad relationship just because it's "your job" or duty, Woody decides to live for himself.
Except his relationship with Bo Peep was way more toxic. She really did treat him like shit in this movie. It doesn’t make sense for him to stay with her instead of all of his friends and Bonnie
How did she treat him like shit? He keeps putting other people's lives in danger for a fork and a master who doesn't even love him@@MysticClaws100
@@MysticClaws100 Huh? How did she treat him like shit or toxic?? If anything you can she was being mean to him if you're sensitive but really she was just being teasing.
@@MysticClaws100 You say that as if the entire conflicts of Toy Story 1 and 3 aren't said friends treating Woody like shit.
@@Whispernyanso real. They don't even let him explain himself about the whole thing with buzz and immediately kick him out of Andy's room and several times try to stop him in 1
Also you dont understand how mad i am o how DUMB they made Buzz like brooo...also Woody and Buzz were best friends so why seperate them ?!?!?
I didn't care much for this one when I first saw it. It might have been because I grew up watching the others and I was an adult when this one came out. But this review made me enjoy it more. Great video as always!
It turns out Gabby-Gabby wanted to be with Harmony, because she looks just like the girl in the book about Gabby-Gabby.
I can see why people don’t enjoy this one as well, but I agree with you, I really enjoyed this movie. Loved your reactions and analysis of these movies, thanks for sharing!
I mean Buzz did get reset twice. I am surprised he has any memories.
I love that Unicorn is the most amoral thing ever 😁 living to the true mythical vibe instead of the misconception that made unicorns the "girly" toys in the first place 🦄🔪👹
It's ok to read all the comments and to see why other people dislike this movie. But I think it's great that you have your own opinion and you seem to understand this movie. Also, I really disagree with a comment here that it was a character assassination. Like WTH? A little bit overdramatic? I liked this movie and I also see a lot of development of Woody's character. Maybe the movie wasn't necessary but it was certainly not bad and I was glad I watched it in cinema. People probably had also high expectations for this one, but I just enjoyed it and was happy to see my favourite characters again. :-)
character development is when beholder follows said character through his journey(Woody). character assassination is when you switch personality off screen(Buzz, Bo)
yeah I don't mind what other people say, I still like this one a fair bit
I don’t think this movie is bad, it just makes me sad in a bad way. I guess bc I watched the first three movies when I was little, I kind of feel betrayed by Bonnie’s carelessness for Woody. Although it is a realistic portrayal of live and people growing apart.
And I guess I never really liked it in any kind of media, when a character chooses their love interest above their entire friend group. Always kinda rubbed me the wrong way.
Thank you btw I really like your honest reactions and reviews! And I'm happy you enjoyed this movie :D
Completely agree with you on the love interest over friends.
That toy soldier is in a Pixar short from 1988 called Tin Toy
I love this one and the 3rd one best. I enjoy all 4 as a set though. I know people like to nitpick every single movie, not just this series. That can make movies fun to discuss if done calmly, but more often people just go off the rails. That’s when it gets annoying. One set is determined to “be right” over the others when these works are really up to us to interpret and affect us individually.
I enjoyed your views and interpretations. Some things I hadn’t thought about. 👍🏼
Honestly the inner-voice thing that Buzz does is kinda dumb, but also funny to think about. Because Buzz is wondering where his “voice” comes from, like who is the literal voice actor. It’s kinda interesting to think about, because the voice is in a sense, not completely his own because it was a recording by someone else. So the misunderstanding stems from him having a curiosity about how he was literally made.
Also, I’m with you about the Benson’s being creepy. 😂 Though I do feel a little bad for them too since they can’t really talk on their own. They depend on a ventriloquist to provide it for them.
I still think they should have had Woody and the crew get given to Andy's son, not the girl. Then Andy as an adult could enjoy playing with his old toys with his kid.
I was always a kid who broke his toy few minutes after getting it and Toy Story movies made me feel bad about it lol.
Love your reaction as usual! To me, this movie just more focus on what Woody wants/need and it's great. After all it's a"toy story".
There’s a little short called “Lamp Life” that shows what happened to bow during the third movie. Maybe you could do a mini reaction to it?
The main reason I didn't care for this one is that Forky is literally and figuratively, a throw away character. The story pretty much could have been the same without him. Also, if he'd not been there that time could have been spent fleshing out Gabby, which is why I just didn't have any feeling for her one way or the other.
It was all just a big waste of time waiting for Woody to reunite with Bo and find a new purpose. Plus we had so little time with Bonnie's original toys.
I just think it was poorly executed.
It would be neat to see reactions to Toy Story of Terror and Toy Story That Time Forgot. I think they are pretty fun short films and explore some interesting concepts!
10:16 I mean to be fair I made a homemade toy when I was much younger and I still have it, I even gave it its own lore.
There is still Toy Story shorts like
1.Toy Story treats (is from TH-cam)
2.partysaurus Rex
3.Hawaiian vacation
4.small fry
5.Toy Story of terror
6.that time I forgot
7.lamp life
For me, this movie is 50/50.
There are some really good elemts in here that I love seeing explored. Like how a toy comes to life because a kid loves them. Even Woody leaving could have been done so well because what I think the movie is trying to say is that after years of being loyal, being there for his kid and being a leader, Woody now has to decide for himself to be happy and pass on the knowledge.
Thats a great message really when you look at the franchise as a whole. But like so many movies and media these days, it just was executed the best. Mostly because of Bonnie just suddenly not liking Woody anymore despite how sad she looked thinking Andy was going to take Woody at the end of three AND Bopeep being pretty rude and cynical to Woody throughout the movie.
There are good parts and I dont think its disrespect yo the franchise like so many others. It just wasnt worthy of following the third which reallly would have been a good way to end the franchise as it is.
You be you, man. I also really like this movie, people act like there are many animated movies who survived after the sequel and keep being great: Shrek peaked at the second movie, Ice Age got worse and worse after the first, Despicable Me followed the same path (Minions 1 was not even good). People clinged too much to TS3 (which is a perfect movie) that they feel a fourth was unnecessary (which is kinda true) but there were big shoes to fill so I also think this movie did a good job (yes, it has many flaws, especially Buzz) but amazing jokes, probably my favorites from the four movies. Loved your perspective about parenting and the parallel these movies present, never crossed my mind.
I feel like this movie is fine, but I think it should have been a new set of toys with a new kid. A lot of the characters don't feel the same, like how Buzz is really stupid now. It would make sense if this was a different Buzz. Also, a lot of the people that voiced these characters are dead now, like Potato Head and Slinky. It would make sense to retire the characters.
The Toy Story Franchise has no bad movie period!
Day 13 of asking coca couch to watch the bad guys.
It's such a good movie omg
Why not, I haven't seen it either and trailers had some charm, both visually and comedically
I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Not really the best of the movies, but I still enjoy it for what it was. And hey, better than Lightyear, that's for sure
God, I don't even think Lightyear is THAT bad but yes this movie is way better than that lol
i really love this movie! i know its gotta very mixed opinions on it but I myself feel it's good. To me it's the type of movie series where you can make multiple of this since there is so many toys out there you can bring into the mix and make stories into. I understand some people don't like the choice of Woody leaving everyone to go with Bo, but as the movie showed us Bonnie didn't seem to care much for him anymore and he felt his purpose was done when he got Forky back to her. Both woody and buzz are supposed to be in toy story 5 so they will probably write some way where they find each other again.
