TOY STORY 4 - A Great companion to the Toy Story trilogy


One of the beloved animated film series which actually started computer animation had its ending in 2010. It left an emotional impact on us as we said goodbye to Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang. Nine years later, we are presented with a part 4. 
Is it necessary ? What's there to see with our favorite toys ? Turns out they're not done yet.


The film picks up where the last one ended. Woody and the bunch of toys have been turned-over to their new owner Bonnie. And Bonnie is about to enter school, but she's not really excited about it. While in orientation, she made a new toy out of a spork and some scrap materials. And we're introduced to Forky.

This film surprised me in a lot of ways. It's not just another episode of the secret life of toys. It's more like an-depth thought on what happens to discarded toys, and an expansion of their world. It's heart-warming, lots of funny moments, and the animation is top-notch.
This is really Woody's next adventure - who is no longer the group's leader, and not the favorite toy anymore. We also see what happened to Bo Peep, who was driven away in Toy Story 3.


Both kids and adults alike will be affected again emotionally
as we follow the narrative. But it also has elements of horror and comedy as we meet Gabby Gabby and her ventriloquist toys, Bunny and Ducky, and Duke Caboom (voiced by Keanu Reeves). 

This is a great companion to the trilogy of Toy Story. Will we see more of our favorite toys or this is the last of it ? Only time will tell. Directed by Josh Cooley (his feature film debut). Rated G. From Disney/Pixar.
