Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was excited to hear that Pixar made another Toy Story film, but a little nervous given that the ending of the third film was about as perfect a place to leave Wood and company as one would ever find. It was bitter sweet and the end of an era, but the beginning of a new journey for the toys. And--crazy as it may sound--I didn't need to know or see what came next. There was a nice implied notion that the cycle would continue and the band would have other fun and wild adventures living with Bonnie, just as they had with Andy. Pixar should have left it alone. I didn't get a chance to catch Toy Story 4 in theater, so I snatched it up once the digital version was available. When I was a little over half-way through it, I could tell something wasn't quite right. The film felt off. Several of the characters felt very out-of-character, almost like a work of bad fan fiction. And there was a very depressing feel to the film overall. But the ending was the worst. Without getting into spoilers, it totally undoes the feeling you get from the end of Toy Story 3 and leaves you wishing you hadn't watched the movie at all. And that's my advice--if you loved the ending of Toy Story 3, skip this one and pretend it doesn't exist.
