- The last Toy Story…for now. Unless you include Lightyear which clearly I do since I did all these movies in preparation for it! So go watch Lightyear, people seem to like it. But first watch this video about Toy Story 4, because I liked it. Here's everything right with Toy Story 4!

Started Toy Story as a child, ended as a young adult, got to see the improvements of animation, characters get introduced and develop, was one hell of a journey
Same. It was a journey alright
Precisely, it was definitely a well earned journey, and I loved seeing the characters grow!
@@trinaq 💯💯💯
Nobody else like this one if we stay on 422 it's okay because it's 4:20 too
We all know Disney is never gonna stop milking Toy Story, but I have the perfect premise for the inevitable Toy Story 5 when they announce it.
There's this one detail I think deserves a couple of wins and that's the different opening lines when the two girls pull Gabby Gabby's string.
When Harmony pulls the string, Gabby says "I'm Gabby Gabby and I love you", but when the lost girl pulls it, she opens with "I'm Gabby Gabby. Will you be my friend?". And I think there's an important difference between the two.
With Harmony, her approach comes off as desperate. Because she IS desperate. Gabby wants desperately to be loved, and feels like this is her only shot, so she wants to go all out. But love isn't just something that should be forced upon people. You can't just walk up to a stranger and say "Hi. I love you." They'll think you're crazy and reject you.
With the lost girl, she's no longer being desperate. She's not thinking about being loved. She's thinking about making that girl feel safe, and her opening line reflects that. So she opens with "Will you be my friend?" because it's more inviting and more reassuring to a person who's lost and scared, than opening with "I love you." At that moment, Gabby finally was being selfless and learned what it means to be a toy: "It's not about being played with, it's about being there for a kid when they need you."
You make a great point! I never noticed the deeper meaning behind that even after watching the movie several times.
Congrats on 100 likes and holy crap i totally missed that detail
It's a nice touch
This is a wonderful point and you explained it beautifully
And then Woody up and abandons his kid even though it is because of him that Bonnie had the strength to make it through the school day and she played with him in the travel montage which contradicts his claim about not being played with which is something he learned to overcome in the second movie.
4 is very personal for me. It came out when I was facing a really deep depression from a former job feeling like I didn't matter in the world. But seeing Woody find his place in the world made me really emotional. I left the movie crying but in a happy way. So when people hate on this movie, I get it but man, I feel defensive of this one.
Ah, that's such a sweet story. I'm delighted that this movie helped you out of a tight spot.
I always forget how things I don’t like, could mean the world to someone else. I’m glad you’re out of your depression!
My mother and I went to see it the day we found out her cousin, my first-cousin, died. She barely remembers a thing about the movie and hasn’t watched it since, but she was bawling
What sucks the most is how at least online, people get way too acerbic and hyperbolic for no good reason other than "entertainment purposes" or just to be mean.
I saw it with my grandma. Last time I ever saw her (which I think we both knew) and it's my favourite Toy Story movie because it helped me move on. Just because one phase of your life is over and you've gone through bad times. It doesn't mean you can't find new good and move on in a different situation or with new people.
1. the rain at the start is breathtaking
2. I LIKE the "Villain" isn't really evil. She just wants ONE MORE SHOT... and after... shes alright giving it back. She even asks so often nicely. Shes just desperate not evil
She would classified as an Anti Villain
I didn't like how they handled her. Would have been better if she was still picked up and loved, damaged voice box and all.
(Spoilers)
Actually, she was! 😁
I love how they show just her change from a seemingly evil villain to being a regular toy looking for a kid to love her
@@emanuelrojas2 not really.
She isn't bad for the greater good
One thing that initially annoyed me was how Bonnie didn't keep her word to look after Andy's toys. But then again, she IS only about five, so it wouldn't have the same significance to her that it would to other people.
One the many reason I’m divisive on this film
Gonna be honest she probably forgot about that promise the second Andy left the street
They should explore the concept of when a child lets go of a toy and later on regrets having done so and pursues to undo the mistake.
@@w.c.d4892 I mean that would be kinda silly wouldn’t it? A 5 year old filled with regret for breaking a promise to a person she’s only met one time trying about taking care of a cowboy doll pursuing said doll with amend that broken promise. Idk, I’ve lost or broken or did a bunch of crappy stuff (mostly accidental) to plenty of toys and I’ve come to realize that was all dumb at I shouldn’t have done that, but it’s not the end of the world or anything.
Have you seen 5 year olds? I have one. They dont give af. Its just the way they are
In Harmony, the little girl's, mind, she wasn't knowingly hurting anyone. She just saw a doll she didn't want to play with, not realising that she was crushing Gabby's spirits.
Yeah…that’s how the toy story world works. You don’t need to say this as if it’s a revelation
@@alexmac8000 and you don't need to be a jerk with the way you answer.
@@alexmac8000 u got some soft ppl replying to u 😂
@@Mr.watashi that coming from a weeb with edgy pfp projecting their inner soft insecurity. You thought you did something along with Alex the mr. captain obvious?
@@vanerek he isn't? he's just pointing out that this isn't something that needs explaining?
honestly the only thing i really take problem with regarding 4 is how they treat buzz as a character
like, it's still buzz - but it just feels as if his character development and intelligence reverted back a movie or two for the sake of making him comic relief (something he already was, making it even more puzzling as to why they did him so dirty)
Totally agree. The whole inner voice thing just made him look like a moron.
All the characters from the other movies aside from Woody and Bo don't get very good treatment in my opinion.
@@Sleeper800 I feel that’s less bad treatment and more just… well not any kind of treatment because they’re never really important to the plot. They still retain all their traits and (with arguably the exception of Buzz) none of them act out of character. Plus, with the death of Don Rickles (the VA for Mr Potato Head) that had to limit the amount of lines he’d say and I guess if he wouldn’t say much for the movie, then it reasonably decided that the rest of the side toys wouldn’t have much to do either.
@@directorforplastic7929 Lack of relevance is still poor treatment in my eyes considering how integral to the story most of them were previously.
@@Sleeper800 Yes, but here Forky, the redeemed villain doll and Bo Peep and her realization that toys don't need kids if the kids don't need them either that Woody adopts in the end are the central elements. There is just so much you can do with repetiton before it becomes repetitive.
Such an interesting "cherry on top"/"bonus DLC" kind of movie.
It gave us some extra goodness and an ultimate/final closure. Such a unique work of film. :)
Yes, bonus DLC! That's it, that's how to refer it 👌
@@cyntiart2353 not really bonus when it’s finishing the original character arc
I think Toy Story 4 really exemplified Woody’s growth. In the first one, he is so terrified of being a lost toy that he weeps in the parking lot, so to get to the point where he becomes a lost toy and decides to use that selflessly is huge.
Love when you point out small details in these animated films they make them all the more astounding on how they’re made
Everything Great About The Prince of Egypt would be a massive win.
Agreed!
Hans Zimmer is always a win! "Elohim! God on high, can you hear your people cry? Help us now this dark hour....DELIVER US!"
How about an Everything Great About Prince of Egypt and a Everything Great About The Road to El Dorado
@@HorseheadsProduction Agree
I will gladly take a video about the best DreamWorks movie every day of the week!
Fun fact: the rain sequence took up 60% of Pixar’s budget and took the longest to render
Toy Story 2 got deleted
And here I thought they did it just to show off that they could do photorealistic rain.
Wait, bit if the budget was 200 million… * does the math * That’s a whopping 120 million dollars!
There's always at least one effect in every Pixar movie that pushes the boundaries.
I always love describing Toy Story 4 to people as the solution to the When She Loved Me sequence in Toy Story 2. In the respect that it provides an option and tells the audience that heartbreak happens but the thing to do is to keep going and never look back.
God I love this movie. I thought I wouldn't care about it the first time watching, but half way through the movie I was already super invested. Such a great way to end Woody's story.
It betrayed everything his character is
@@ninjanibba4259 What the hell is he suppose to do then? Be stubborn and stick around a kid who clearly doesn't care about him? He won't be happy and he can't serve his purpose as a toy. Why should he stay? The whole movie is him learning to let go and begin a new chapter of his life where he can pursue his own dream and explore more things in the world with someone he loves. That's not betraying his character, that's just him moving on.
@@Edward-we9dl by betraying his promise to his friends who he almost died for multiple times without fault, it’s who he is and changing that for any reason is bad, let’s not pretend he left cuz he wanted freedom or whatever, he went cuz he simped for Bo and ONLY that, which makes it way worse
Imagine leaving to another country for a woman you haven’t seen in years, she’s different and changed from the last time you saw her, meanwhile your family is left behind to clean up the mess you left by abruptly going and people are wondering where and why you left without saying goodbye, like leaving a job mid work and going to the beach cuz you wanted some sand and swimming…..you see the broken logic here? That’s what Woody is written here and it’s horrible
@@ninjanibba4259 yes
@@ninjanibba4259 It’s not like Woody left without telling them or feeling sorry. He will be an asshole if he left without feeling any regret and sorrow. However, you can tell he wants to stay with his friends because he is loyal to them. Buzz is the one who literally tell him it’s ok to leave because even he knows that’s what Woody truly wants. He wants his best friend to follow his heart for once, instead of being chained by his duties. How is that Woody betraying his friends if they are the ones who give him the blessing and encouragement to leave?
And that whole argument of Woody leaving just because he simps for Bo? That’s not even the whole picture. Does Woody leave because he loves Bo? Sure. That’s one reason. Another reason is because he wants to start a new life. Bonnie doesn’t care about him, he can’t even fulfils his job to keep his kid happy. Woody said it himself, he is so obsessed with Bonnie is because he doesn’t know what else he can do as a toy. So when Bo shows up and shows him other way to be a toy and a new opportunity to explore the world, he takes it. Woody finally sees that Bonnie doesn’t need him, so he leaves because he wants to be happy. It’s just like you are working as a nobody in a company, you don’t want to stay that way so you venture out into the world when you see the opportunity to do so. Bo just so happens to be someone Woody loves.
When Buzz said "She'll be okay" I knew exactly what he was going to say after and immediately sobbed
Toy Story 4 was a better ending for Woody, who in many regards is the main character of the Toy Story series.
His role throughout the films is basically a metaphor for the stages of parenthood.
Toy Story 1 - How to deal when your kid no longer needs you to be the center their world.
Toy Story 2 - The parental midlife crisis, thinking about what potential you had if you didn't have a kid, and then realizing that making your child happy is enough for you.
Toy Story 3 - Letting go, when your kid is old enough to go off and be their own adult.
Toy Story 4 - Empty nest syndrome, and how to cope when your life doesn't revolve around your kid any more.
The third film was about knowing when to let go.
The fourth film is about what to do once you've let go, thus actually completing Woody's story arc.
> Toy Story 4 becomes less of an attempt to tie in previous themes
Every one of the movies is thematically consistent, as they're all about Woody's purpose in life, be it having that feeling threatened, questioning if it's the right purpose, letting go of that purpose once he's no longer needed, or finding a new purpose for himself. Toy Story 3 is a better ending for the franchise but 4th is the better ending for Woody.
You can pretend all you want, but woodys character is all kinds of messed up in 4, not to mention the other characters
@@ninjanibba4259 no Woody is the same character
@@buzzwithdrip6347 clearly he’s not, he would NEVER leave his friends behind, especially his owner, that’s why he fights so hard to get back home so his kids can feel safe, you’re gonna try and justify him leaving with Bo after EVERYTHING the gang had been through cuz he thought the outer life was more exciting? Please, Woody wouldn’t last a week out there cuz he barely did in this one in a day, not to mention his simping for Bo causing him to leave in the first place….just horrible
@@ninjanibba4259 "his purpose is to dedicate himself to serving the needs of his group"
Jeeze. Thats a weird take. No room for personal wants or desires? No room for change
@@ninjanibba4259 his owner don't care about him and he has never felt the same with Bonnie as with Andy, and he was always in love with him people do things in real life out of their characters and people act differently around different people, his job was done, and in the mid credit he seem to fine with Bo, he'll be fine even if he's not it's much better to live with the love of his life
I didn’t like the movie as much as the first three but I have to give credit to Pixar’s animators here. Still the most impressive looking animated movie I’ve seen.
Woody didn’t just leave his friends. He found a new purpose in life and realizes that he doesn’t have to satisfy just one child and also found a new opportunity.
That's what I don't understand. Why do people miss that? What's with this continuing failure to interpret what movies are communicating to people?
@@gamestation2690it’s been 10 months but yeah I agree. Worst part is how these are the same people who complain about movies “talking down to them”.
Buzz: To infinity
Woody: And beyond
Best way to end a Toy Story movie
Every time I start souring on this movie's existence, I watch it again and honestly Gabby Gabby being picked by that scared girl and then Woody's farewell frankly destroy me, full on tears, not as emotional as Toy Story 3 or as nostalgic as "When She Loved Me" but trying to recreate those feelings is flat out impossible. Bottom line, like what you like, not everyone has to but that's fine too. Just don't be a-holes, there's already a bad enough surplus supply of them online.
Say what you want about a piece of media, just don't direct it towards people who like it.
Liked your comment -- especially because it echoes something my best friend once said to me:
Always remember ... there's no shortage of assholes in this world.
The conversation between her and Woody about Andy in the antique store is one of my favorite scenes in Pixar history, and I'll even say it's Tom Hanks's best moment of the series.
@@TheIvoryDingo Exactly
Forky closed his eyes way early on. Look at his expression JUST as he realizes that Bonnie needed him, lol
He also blinked when comforting Gabby.
I have a particularly special connection to Toy Story, the series and I began our existence in the same year. 27 years later and I just watched this film for the first time yesterday, buying into the idea that it shouldn't exist because it was a perfect trilogy without it. But honestly? It wasn't. Not really.
In 3 we had the concept of toys being forgotten, but.. not entirely. The chest that held them all was still kept in Andy's room, and he had loved and adored them enough to even play with them as a young adult, that one last time. But we didn't really look at toys that were just plain forgotten. Sat on a shelf collecting dust, lost in the back corner of a closet, etc.. I cried way harder to this film than I did to 3, and that's saying a lot considering the ending of 3. It might just be me, but I think exploring how a toy would feel at the prospect of being totally forgotten and unwanted, is immensely interesting, and, completely heart-wrenching.
And in regards to your take on positions of privilege and the effect that has on people in reality.. well, I think it can be summed up with, "The higher you are, the farther you can fall."
All in all, really enjoyed this movie, and the coincidental release timing is pretty great too because it's still so fresh in my mind. I didn't notice a SINGLE reference to other Pixar movies but now I won't be able to ignore the ones you pointed out!
I saw Toy Story 1 and 2 as a kid a year younger than Andy, finished Toy Story 3 when I was an older teenager about to go to college, and saw Toy Story 4 as an adult. It felt so /right/ to see this outcome, because it ties up every little cliffhanger left by the end of TS3 and wraps it up for us adults who grew up with the series, while opening up a new universe for the kids and newcomers to the franchise. I remember that during the screening of TS3 a lot of kids and their parents walkd out of the theatre bc the kids didnt understand the plot (TS3 was definitely done for the millenials who grew up with the two previous movies), but with TS4 everyone was excited and all the kids wanted more. It's one of the reasons they retconned Bo-Beep's personality and relationship with Woody, in TS1 to 3 they were almost acting like a married couple while in TS4 she calls him her "boyfriend" and have this cutesy flirting that seems less mature and more about lovebirds finding each other after a long time. That is good, TS4 is like a rite of passage from us, adults, to the kids who can enjoy new adventures with Woody and Bo-Beep.
Toy Story 4 is not good and the story sucks, especially the ending.
I’m so glad to be watching this before I see Lightyear in theaters today. Can I say that I really enjoy how they used music from Toy Story 2 in this movie? Like using the music from when we meet the Roundup Gang during the Disney logo, and the Zurg’s Planet theme during Buzz’s slingshot maneuver.
I thought I was the only one, and when Bo and Woody started running at the end the theme from the beginning of the first movie was there
in my honest opinion i feel most people dislike the movie main fact being that they separated the gang. But you as the other movies taught us about being how different is good, learning to forgive, making new friends, sticking together, letting go of your fears, growing up this one taught us how some people are in your life just for a while so we must cherish the moment we had before they go.
I wanna guess that next week will be Eternals but I'm not entirely sure?
Here's my list of suggestions for future EGA videos:
-Encanto
-Jurassic Park
-Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
-Loki (Disney+ Series)
-Despicable Me
-Godzilla (1998)
-Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008 Film)
-Small Soldiers
-A Bug's Life
-JAWS
Holy shit yes curse of the were-rabbit would be amazing!!
I think you may be right, now that I look at it again! Though I didn't think audiences liked it...?
[CENSORED]
You are 100% correct.
It's the sean where the mine controlling eternal (forgot his name) stops a war after the Devients are destroyed, Athena goes insane, and everybody else refuses to help humanity out now that Deviants are gone.
It's the moment where all of the soldiers start dropping their weapons.
Don’t forget THE LOST WORLD and JURASSIC PARK ///
If we are considering TV Shows, then Arcane is my top pick.
i find enthusiastic how you manage to spent hours on top of hours to find every detail coming from cultures to other movie references and nice honest opinions on the final, thank you so much for doing videos like this CinemaWins, stay safe and stay awesome for both you and whoever reads this comment out there.
and to add a request here, could you take a look at the Rio movies? in homenage to it being one of the better representatives to the Brazilian culture and to celebrate the arrive of the Blue Macaw species back to the nature.
Blue Sky movies need to be winned on here, especially after the studio was shut down by Disney in 2021. I want to see an EGA Ice Age (2002) so badly.
The Rio movies are one of my most rewatched Blue Sky Films. I'd love to see his take on Ice Age too
This is my favourite of the set. To me, the first three really established the bonds between friends and making room for new people in your life, moving on from childhood. This one was to me, growing up. You hit that existential dread about life, you come to terms with the fact that you aren't the main character and your actions can help or harm those around you and reaching out can sometimes help save someone. It's also meeting your love and realizing you may not have as much time if anytime for the old friend group, and coming to terms with that loss.
The only problem with this video is that the absolute treasure that is Giggle McDimples is never talked about or mentioned even once.
11:36 Okay, now I'm genuinely curious. DO toys breathe air? Jesse clearly hyperventilates whenever the idea of getting tossed back into storage is brought up in 2, and even in this movie, when Woody gets his head smooshed by Bonnie's Dad's shoe, he holds his nose and exhales to puff his head back out. So either toy manufacturers go as far as to make their toys have toy organs inside their stuffing, a thought I don't like to think of but seems the most logical (which is also concerning), or when they come alive they somehow manifest human anatomy like organs and even muscle systems. It makes sense...sort of. Not really.
So does that mean woody had to be in a lot of pain when his arm pretty much almost got torn off?
@@sandyv4819 Maybe since he wasn't technically "alive" when it was torn, he didn't feel anything. This is almost as confusion as figuring out how the Cars universe operates
It could just be that the toys believe they need to breath but they really don't.
Let's bring logic into a movie about toys that come to life. Or forks that come to life with Googly eyes.
This movie is beautifully animated, it’s honestly funny, and it has a strong message of finding yourself in the world, I love it
Also I love the continuity of Buzz
First movie, realizing he’s a toy and had a breakdown as “MIsSus NezBiT”
Second movie, always supportive and strong-willed
Third, finally ok and safe, and doesn’t know much, since he realizes he’s not Buzz Lightyear from the movie anymore, he’s a toy version, so him being clueless at times makes sense
No it doesn’t, are you serious?
This got to be a joke
Are you forgetting that he lead a rescue mission in Toy Story 2 and was able to figure out who took Woody just from the number plate on a car? But in this movie, he has to press his buttons to know what to do. They dumbed him down to make that stupid inner voice joke. Stop acting like there’s a specific reason
The toy story films always meant a lot to me. Me and my brother always used to fight over watching finding nemo and toy story. I also had a stutter growing up and the first sentence I ever said without stuttering was ‘to infinity and beyond’ whilst stood at the top of a slide.
It also makes sense because in Toy Story 2 he almost left Andy to be in the museum with the Roundup Gang. He’s been on the edge of leaving there and then in the beginning flashback with Bo. So yeah, very on par with Woody. He’s just finally listening to himself.
It made no sense for him to want to leave with Bo after the climax of 2 when Bo was taken away. The entire point of 2 disproves that, through 2 he realises he doesn't need to be perfect and ponders his mortality, he doesn't need to be perfect to be loved, that's the point, so he gives up on leaving to be put in a museum because he values the love he shares with Andy and his friends more than he does being seen as a perfect toy, he wants to be there to see Andy grow up, which segways perfectly into 3's plot, the inclusion of Woody making a split second decision, which he soon takes back when he sees Andy looking for him, makes no sense between 2 and 3 given what he learned in 2
He doesn't need to be anyone's toy to be valued, and Bo shows that fine enough, but that's not what his personal values are
Why would Woody want to leave with her after the way she treats him in 4? If anything, 4 could have been a good lesson on not feeling you owe people who you knew in your past anything, because people change, you might not gel with them after awhile, and that's okay!
@@lpsmurder The reason why she treated him like that was when she lost her sheep and was mad. Take this as an example: A mother lost her kids, its obvious that her attitude changes when things like this happen. The movie also had a meaning. Moving on, that was the meaning. Another example: Woody's friends is our family and Woody is us. We grow up with our family and then one day gotta go move on and start a new life.
For those wondering why Buzz took a level in stupid in this movie. He literally got brainwashed twice and then had a TV thrown on his head before coming back only to face death by incinerator and what I’m sure was lots of trauma. I’m grateful he’s still coherent and not the toy version of Jack Nicholson at the end of One Flew Over CooCoo’s Nest.
I was thinking more the Toy version of Jack Nicholson in The Shining
Wasn't the real reason that they didn't want Tim Allen taking a bigger role in this movie like the last 3 because he was such an asshole? Dude was so annoyed that he couldn't say the n-word a couple years back.
“Hello, Woody! You know what my daddy did???? Poop! HE POOPED!!!!”
Hopefully, someone who’s watched Robot Chicken will understand what I was talking about…
There are Toy Story shorts that take place between 3 and 4 whilst they're living with Bonnie, and he's not an idiot in those. There is no canonical reason, it was just terrible writing.
@Joli Because he didn't have any electrics inside of him.
the fact that this series started with the first 3d animated movie ever and ended in one of the most advanced and photoreal films i've ever seen makes me feel like the animation had it's own arc
It's one of those films that while I still have a lot of fun with it, I also can't ignore the issues with it as easily because they're a lot more apparent/obvious and glaring than the previous films in the franchise
The first time I saw Toy Story 4, I was blown away by how beautiful everything was. Then I hit the ending and I was destroyed. Plush Rush is fun tho.
I also love how through the four movies you can see the VAST improvement in animation. They go from almost painful to look at people (sorry but the dog in the first movie too 😅) to THAT CAT SHOT??? It looks so real. Plus all the other animation wins this movie, 3, and even 2 got. Love love love it
Someone had to acknowledge the fact it's not nearly as bad as everyone says it is, they're just being a bunch of Comic Book Guys.
No they're not
Yeah idk Wtf they talking about I loved this movie. Love them all.
@@pedromatias7608 They're being Boomers.
@@bengilhooly3616 Actually they are.
I actually rewatched this movie for the first time after seeing this video pop up in my reccomendations and it was worth the revisit even if my opinions on it haven't really changed. I'm not entirely sure the movie needed to be made give how perfect the ending to Toy Story 3 was (my brother absolutely refuses to watch this movie because he loves that ending so much), but I really do love Woody's arc in this one. I remember watching it in the theater and thinking about how much it would ruin the movie if he didn't stay with Bo, but at the same time not wanting him to have to say goodbye to everyone. And I can't help but love how no one tries to talk him out if it and Buzz even reassures him that Bonnie will be okay, essentially giving him permission to go...I really could go on, but suffice to say I'm glad I revisited this one and remembered how much I love it.
I don't think it would have ruined the film if he hadn't gone with her tbh, it could have been a good lesson about not feeling like you owe anyone you knew in your past your loyalty just because you were once close, and it felt like Woody wasn't really given much of a choice, that it was inevitable that he HAD to go with Bo simply because he once loved her - its clear in 4 that Bo is not the same person she was before, she's changed for better or for worse, and from what I see she doesn't gel with Woody anymore, down to being overly critical and even verbally abusive to him
He doesn't need to stay as anyone's toy to be valued, but imo that just isn't within Woody's own personal values, however, it is Bo's own values, and if this film does anything right its that it shows the difference in those values and that neither are wrong for wanting what they have, Woody didn't need to be the one to tell the audience that just because he's the main character
Toy story movies are absolutely most definitely always a WIN
This is one of those 4th entries that I genuinely love, toy story 1-3 is a solid trilogy through and through, but 4 feels like a true swan song.
I love that this movie doesn't include truly "evil" characters, because in life, often times people are rarely "evil". They're often hurt, or misunderstood, or in some cases, just ignorant. In this movie, nobody had any malicious intent, but it still couldn't be helped that people (and toys) could be hurt by others.
The scene where Buzz and Woody hug to say goodbye always makes me cry man...
It absolutely destroyed me when I saw it in theaters, I’m glad somebody else gets it!
I'm honestly shocked he didn't talk more about the animation in 4, I know it's not vital to the movie, but I'm just blown away every time I look at it, you could show me any frame from this movie and without ever seeing it, I would probably think it was real life.
Week 77 of asking for Everything Great About Dead Man's Chest.
-1,000,000,000 wins. The reason? Johnny Depp the Wife Beater.
I support this
We need this
That movie was soooo bad.
@@thedarkknight9153 that opinion is sooooo wrong
When I was born, the first and second ones already existed. Now I'm 18 and Lightyear's out now! I was 15 going on 16 when this one came out. Finally saw it earlier this year, and there's no way to rank all of them from best to worst. They are ALL masterpieces.
Also... Hate to say this, but... HOW COULD YOU HAVE NOT SAID ANYTHING ABOUT TIN TOY???
TS4 is fantastic in so many ways. But most of all, I love how it looks. I'm an amateur photographer and seeing the cartoon world like this with such realistic virtual lenses is astounding. I'm sure it will eventually look dated, but for now I'm completely hooked with suspension of disbelief.
TS4 is terrible.

@@ThunderTheYellowJolteon I know but he is always in EVERY SINGLE COMMENT THAT SAYS "I like toy story 4" and then they start saying " Oh YoUre oPinIoN sUcKs" . So how can we respect his opinion if he doesn't respect ours?
Everything Great About Speed Racer!! I need this to happen!
There's one win that you forgot. Forky's amazing chuckle as he keeps locking the door 😂
One movie I'd absolutely love to see you cover is Wolfwalkers!
It was made by Cartoon Saloon as a part 3 to their Irish Folklore series (the first two being Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea), and all I'm gonna say is that the artstyle is beyond beautiful, the story is extremely compelling and subverts some common tropes (specifically the 'single dad is not a good dad' trope), and one of the scenes near the end absolutely destroyed me (for those who've seen the movie and are curious, it was the healing scene)
It's on Apple TV+ if you want to watch it, and is about an hour and 45 minutes long
Jeez man hearing Jude has gone through pre K makes me feel old. Just been watching for so many years now I guess huh
Watching all 4 of the movies back to back really puts into perspective just how far Pixar has come over the years. Seeing how their proficiency in the animation side of things evolves over time is unreal.
Touching back on Bonnie's first day of school I really appreciate the continuity of her being a shy kid (i.e. the scene in Toy Story 3 when she doesn't want to talk to her mum's... coworker? Mum friend? I really can't remember who the adult is, but you probably remember the scene).
They could have easily just switched up her personality for the sake of the story, as she can seem quite flamboyant when playing with her toys, but it's also great that there was some kind of link between the two films, since there is already quite a lot of disconnect from one to the other, and it almost feels like payoff. Like, obviously they weren't setting up the plot of 4 in 3, because I doubt they even knew there was gonna be a 4, but it still makes them feel much more connected.
I have a hunch that Bonnie's mother is friends with Andy's mother. Though I can't help but wonder how "Toy Story 5" might play out.
I really enjoyed Toy Story 4. The film gave me a cozy feeling that only Pixar can deliver. And how can you not love Forky?
And coming next: an audience/critic split that critics didn't love...hmm...Jurassic World: Dominion?
Split implies they don't agree, and audiences hated Dominion.
I love this movie. It's perfect on all fronts to me. The music is amazing, the animation is Pixar, and the writing is stellar. Very satisfactory end to Woody's arc that makes sense. Also does a perfect job of making me feel old😂
This is a terrible end to Woody’s arc that does not make sense.
@@judebaun9993 if it doesnt make sense for you then you have to rewatch it lmao
@@Hiccups_l0st_l3g outdated comment my opinion has changed Woody’s arc is good and makes sense but Toy Story 4 is held back from up to the original trilogy due to things like Buzz suddenly turning into an idiot and the lack of Jessie who was one of the three leading stars of the original trilogy. Jessie staying in the RV the whole movie is out of character as she has not once ever shown any fear in the face of an adventure waiting to be had and was more than willing to dive head first into an adventure from the first second that Jessie was introduced to the screen she was highly energetic and raring for adventure, she revels in the confrontation with Woody over who turned on the TV actively egging him on as he challenges her, no hoping for a fight, when Buster needs to get outside Jessie immediately springs into action to help him out, she leads the charge to break everyone out of their cells at Sunnyside and traps Buzz when he was convinced that Lotso and the other daycare toys worked for Star Command and that his friends were minions of the Evil Emperor Zurg by Lotso who factory reset Buzz and safely escorts everyone onto the playground pass the aggressive search beams, she stands up up to the tyrannical Lotso when her back is pressed against the wall and doesn’t even hesitate to leap onto the back of the dumpster when Woody is pulled by Lotso, in Toy Story of Terror she fights fiercely and bravely against the iguana to save her friends from the hands of Ron, I mean for cries sakes in the Hawaiian Vacation short she enthusiastically egging everyone on to insure a dinner went well A GOD DAMN DINNER! No way Jessie would be willing to sit around in the RV well Buzz goes on an adventure without her especially given how there relationship was left of by the end of Toy Story 3. Also at the beginning of the movie Jessie hyperventilates in the closet that Bonnie’s mom put the toys in while cleaning the bed despite having overcome her fear of inclosed spaces in Toy Story of Terror. But Woody’s arc makes sense and is pretty much the conclusion that he has been building up to since Toy Story 2.

@@judebaun9993 brother, I respect ur opinion but I don't get why you keep going on all the toy story videos and commenting abt the 4th movie 😭😭
This was the first film I went and saw with my dad and brother in several years. He specifically had taken us to see 2 as kids and 3 as early teens, and as young adults... it was a good return.
Love the video like always, the antique store is such a treasure trove to look at. Hope you do more Pixar movies someday
The part where the dad steps on Woody is a little hint that Woody has no purpose as Bonnie's toy anymore
Also, fun fact: The toy that opens the arcade machine door is the Tin Toy from the 1988 Pixar short of the same name!
Just graduated last weekend with a bachelor's in Elementary Education after student teaching in a Kindergarten classroom all year so I really appreciate that teacher shout-out in the beginning! The shy kids were my specialty, especially my little friend who barely talked to anyone but would go on and on about Disney with me during recess.

i think one of my favourite parts of this movie is how these old toys are still relevant and loved
I just love this one so much ! Which is weird, because I really grew up with the first three ones, and I knnow a lot of people were disappointed, but I love this one evevn more than the third. Woody was always my favorite character, and this really is HIS movie ! The ending almost feels like someone accepting that he can finally retire from his career and happily move on to an other step in life.
A bit sad you didn't mention Woody giving his sheriff star to Jessie, I ugly cry every time I see it.
I remember being a 6 year old kid going to see the first Toy Story, and after seeing the 4th with my kid nearly 20 odd some years really hit the me with the feels
I love your videos. Definitely liking things is better than not liking them and I thank you for that. But now I think it's time to tango with the Rango.
8:33
Did that sound like kid Simba's screaming "NOO!" to anyone else?
Awesome video as always! I'd love it if you did the Cars trilogy next! It's one of my favorite Pixar franchises and frankly underrated.
1:24 and Woody being swiped across the screen to reveal the titles like in the first movie. But this time he's being moved to the left instead of the right. Gotta love continuity callbacks. In the first movie, the background was wallpaper clouds but here, they're real ones.
One bad thing with the director is that he hated to Pixar theory and thought that those who believed in it were ridiculous. He threw in all of those Easter eggs in the shop and had the mom reading a book about the theory being dumb to try to end the theory once and for all.
Can't argue with the director on that considering the Pixar theory is pretty convoluted and dumb
@@erichfiedler1481 I think it's one thing to think it's dumb and throw a kink into the theory but to out right call fans dumb and ridiculous is too far.
i cried way harder during the end of 4 than i did for 3, my family was like dude what’s your problem lol
I had a build a bear Toothless that had a custom recording in it, after the years it started to dye and when youd press it it would be a garbled demonic mess, the only issue I had with that was the fact that it would go off randomly sometimes lol, sometimes, multiple times lol. Some people would find that demonic voice box endearing lol
6:58 That Is Hilarious!
I appreciate how they build up to Woody's choice throughout the road trip. Given how Bonnie during the "Throw Yourself Away" sequence prioritzes Forky to the point where Woody primarily is there as an afterthought and she immediately grabs Forky after both are missing in the car shows that she has a different less personal relationship with Woody than he had with Andy.
I get that Toy Story 4 is unnecessary, but I liked it. I remember my mom and I seeing it in the theater literally one week after it came out. Sure, the third film felt like a proper ending, but this one in my opinion felt like an even bigger one given that it would be the end of Woody and Buzz’s times together. Plus, we haven’t seen Bo Peep since the second movie, and that came out almost 20 years before this one did. Keep up the good work, Lee. You are eternally grateful, to infinity and beyond.
Buzz and Woody DIDNT have any last times together, they’re barely together in the film
@@ninjanibba4259 oh, maybe I misunderstood something.
@@CJBStudios it’s not your fault, the movie lied to you and gave you the Mandela effect
@@ninjanibba4259 huh, well I remember someone in the movie’s audio commentary saying it was the end of Woody and Buzz’s time as friends. I’ll have to listen to it again because I haven’t seen this movie in about three years. The last time I watched it was on Disney+. I actually did get it on Blu-ray for Christmas.
@@CJBStudios trust me I’m telling you they are lying, they pander to mask it but Woody and Buzz are barely together in this movie and their dynamic is not the same as 1-3
6:07 Can't believe you missed Charles Muntz playing poker with his dogs.
Once more I ask, when! When will it be "Everything Everywhere all at Once"'s turn
Truly the only reason this movie received the hate it did was because it was the 4th one. This movie was every bit as deserving of praise as any of the other movies. I think it'll be remembered fondly.
You gotta do Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron.
I’m taking my mom to see Lightyear today to celebrate her birthday. When I was a kid toy story was our special thing we both loved. She always compared me to Andy and how toy story to her was my story. Watching a kid grow up and love his life
Great timing. Just sat down with my dinner 👍
Same.
Everything about it it’s great specially the two new songs, Forky, Gaby Gaby and that beautiful ending.
This is a nice treat! I wasn't expecting Toy Story 4 so soon.
He’s been doing them all to tie into Lightyear
Here's a wild idea, what about a "Everything Great about Cars" Video. Just saying, as a hardcore fan to the series and also a fan of the channel, I would really enjoy that video.
This was the movie that made me realize that the toys are sentient but their single desire in life is to lay still on the ground so a child can play with their bodies.
2:13 got a Beatles song stuck in my head, and I'm not complaining 🤣
There's... one thing I didn't like about the ending. It's nice for Woody that he and Bo-Peep are back together, of course, but the thing is... Andy gave him to Bonny, not to keep, but to hold. He said "Would you take care of him for me", which implies that he was going to come back for him when he himself had kids. And now, his precocious Sheriff - a really rare toy if you'll remember - is lost. The fact that Bonny doesn't notice doesn't paint her in the best light.
She *5*
To be fair to her, Woody was the first of Andy's toys that she had played with, so realistically, it would make sense for her to gravitate towards the other toys in the family. Kids go through that development cycle at the age she was at where they naturally decide what toy is their favorite.
Also I highly doubt Andy would bother coming back for his favorite toy if he's going to experience new shit by himself and get a girlfriend or boyfriend who would probably fill the role of comfort that Woody provided when he was a kid.
@@buzzytrombone4353right.
This is one of the only movies to make me cry. Full on, ugly tears in a cinema. TS3 didnt get me in the same way because you knew the toys would survive and the Bonnie handover was sweet. This one, the reality of growing up and friend groups splitting... it got to me.
Honestly I was pissed they made a fourth one at first because the third ended on such a perfect note but I'm definitely glad now a fourth one was made.
There is one or two wins that I believe was missed and both are connected to Tin Toy's cameo as the bouncer to the toy club in the arcade machine where you meet Duke Kaboom. For those who don't know, Tin Toy was one of the first stories Pixar did involving live toys (other toys from the short actually appeared in the caterpillar room scene hiding from the rough-housing kids they same way they hide from the baby in the Tin Toy short). Tin Toy's look of distain at Woody is also a nod to Tin Toy being replaced by Woody as the star of the Toy Story franchise.
I was full on sniffling when I saw this in cinemas woody’s goodbye destroyed me as I grew up with this bloody series that is near and dear to my heart
One win I wish you mentioned, in the scene where Gabby Gabby is explaining her situation to Woody and Forky in the carriage, there’s a song playing in the background on a record player that briefly gets focused on for like a second. That song is called “Midnight, The Stars and You” which is also known as the song that plays at the end of the Shining. Not only does it add to the creepy atmosphere to people who’re familiar with the song, but also ties back to the first movie where the floor of Sid’s house had the same carpet patterns as the Overlook hotel from the Shining. Idk, I just thought that was cool.
But anyways, great video as always Lee. I’ve wanted to hear your thoughts on this movie for a while primarily because Toy Story 4 is probably the most controversial of the series (which TBF, I get) but I also remember really loving it when it came out, especially Woody’s arc and conclusion. I guess I just wanted to hear some thoughts on this movie that wasn’t just “IT BETRAYED THE SERIES’ MESSAGES!” for the hundredth time. Oh, and also I can tell the teaser frame is probably Eternals, another movie I really enjoyed and wanted to hear your thoughts on because of its mixed response. Here are some other movies I’d love to see you cover in the future:
Isle of Dogs
Jojo Rabbit
Coraline
Paranorman
The Matrix Ressurections
The Batman
Turning Red
Encanto
Last Night in Soho
The French Dispatch
The Jurassic Park Trilogy
Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man’s Chest and At World’s End
Thanks for dropping another awesome video and have a great day Lee! 👍
Love this CinemaWins. Also love the fact that Toy Story 4 has an official pinball machine. :D
This 4th movie was for us, the ones who watched the first as children, who are now struggling with adulthood, in a similar path as Woodys struggle with purpose. I bawled at this movie, because it truly felt like Woody found a new happiness and a closure and it felt hopeful.
Toy Story 3 was the perfect ending to Andy's story. Toy Story 4 is the perfect ending to Woody's. Sequels can get pretty tiring, but I'd be perfectly OK with them continuing with Bonnie and Buzz. Though given Tim Allen's reputation these days, it might be unlikely.
Toy Story 4 is not the perfect ending to Woody’s sequels.

this movie came out when i was graduating highschool and even if people say it's dog shit or what ever, it has a special place in my heart, it felt like growing up

It's a shame that Ghibli would nuke his channel if he covered any of their films, they are my favourite studio 🥲
@@nanashi2146 it’s not a Ghibli movie
@@FrequentUser99 I know obviously, I was just saying that on the topic of Japanese animation. Silent voice is good, but doesn't touch the best of Ghibli imo
@@nanashi2146 a silent voice is a masterpiece that no movie should ever be compared to it, Ghibli movies are also amazing. Just none of them can be compared to a silent voice.
@@BestNickNameEver I can't really agree there buddy, but I'm glad you enjoyed it so much
After watching 4 hours of criticism of this movie, I needed a pallette cleanser. This video is so good. There are valid criticisms of this film, but the wins here hit strong. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first three. But dang... the Gabby storyline made me absolutely cry by the end. Sure, it was creepy, but by the end I was holding back tears.
I didn't enjoy this film as much as I wanted, but I still had fun. Also, we have to acknowledge that we got one last run with Don Rickles even if it was all archival recording. And I will miss Estelle Harris as Mrs. Potato Head. It's voices like theirs that are iconic and irreplacable.
And are we finally getting Everything Great About Eternals? I sure hope so.
