Toy Story 4 (2019)

A welcome and worthwhile epilogue

“Back in 2010, Pixar Studios defied the odds to deliver the excellent Toy Story 3, a long-delayed sequel which closed the Toy Story series on a fitting, cathartic, pitch-perfect note. Arriving nine years later, 2019's Toy Story 4 sees Pixar defying the odds once again, producing a third sequel that confidently avoids tarnishing Toy Story's esteemed legacy. With newcomer Josh Cooley at the helm, this fourth Toy Story feature does not attempt to retcon the earlier films, or extend the brand awkwardly or unnaturally - instead, it assuredly justifies its existence by exploring fertile narrative and thematic ground. Recapturing the spirit of its predecessors, Toy Story 4 is immense fun, delivering all the requisite comedy, adventure, joy, and whimsy that has characterised this franchise since th” read more

A good movie

“When I heard that they were coming up with a new sequel, I can’t say I was really excited but since it had been well received (it even recently won the Academy Award for the Best Animated Feature Film) and since I have always been a fan of Pixar, I still had to watch it at some point. Well, to be honest, it gave me pretty much the same feeling I had while watching ‘Toy Story 3’. Indeed, the animation was once again quite amazing but I wouldn’t expect less from Pixar and it was definitely an entertaining new tale. However, pretty much like its predecessor, it still felt like a rather useless sequel which didn’t add much to the flawless 1st two instalments. First of all, the story was hardly original. Indeed, once again, some toy got lost and, once again, Woody had to face some ide” read more

Predicting the Winners of the 2020 Oscars (21 games items)

"And the Nominees are... *How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World *I Lost My Body *Klaus *Missing Link *Toy Story 4 And the Oscar goes to... I've got no clue. Klaus took the Annie and BAFTA awards, Missing Link took the Golden Globe, and Toy Story 4 won the Critics' Choice and, more importantly, the PGA award. While I had been leaning towards Toy Story, that BAFTA win for Klaus is big; BAFTA has only missed twice since it introduced the award in 2006, and one of those years their winner w"

The only major change to this list from the last; Missing Link's Golden Globe win (only one winner of that award has ever been snubbed for an Oscar nomination; Tintin in 2011), and nominations at all of the major precursors (BAFTA, PGA, Annie Awards) make this a prominent contender. 4. 5.

Watched in 2019: Movies (205 movies items)

"2019 A really fun fourth installment filled with memorable new characters and a return of one. The animation is remarkable; cinematic, polished and as close to perfection I've seen. The adult themes and reflections of life make it worthy for any adult to go see with their kids... or just to see alone or with friends. It didn't have the emotional impact I was hoping for at the end, but still a rare excellent fourth film in a franchise."

"Yeah, they did it... Somehow Pixar was able to make another entertaining Toy Story movie. And I thought I would watch it in two parts for because it wouldn't be as good as the other three works, but nope... time just flew by while watching it. High quality. Such a breeze. 30/12/19."
