Who would I recommend this to?
I want to say Toy Story fans, but not the hardcore ones, since this sequel was very much not needed.

What is this about?
Bonnie's family goes on vacation and she loses Woody! But maybe life as a lost toy isn't so bad...

When would be a good time to watch this?
Never, honestly. Let Toy Story 3 be the perfect ending to this series.

Where does it take place?
Mostly at a creepy antique shop and carnival.

Why did I decide to watch this?
It's Toy Story. I was morally obligated to.

How did I like this?
It's fine. It's fun, but it was not a good addition to the series. Toy Story 3 ended PERFECTLY. This was just extra, but thankfully that ending makes more movies unlikely. It honestly felt like a long-winded way of explaining what happened to Bo Peep after she was briefly mentioned in the previous movie, even though I'm sure the intention was to complete Woody's mission of being there for his kid.

I must say that the "Plush Rush" scene is the greatest scene of all of the movies though. I was dying. Ducky and Bunny were hilarious. On the other hand, Forky's antics got old fast. They were clearly trying to appeal to kids rather than the adults who grew up with these movies.

The Bensons...No. The animation...woah. It's been so weird watching all of them close together to see how much the visuals changed over the last 25 years.

Have you seen Toy Story 4? What did you think?
If not, would you watch it?
