This is a really optimistic look at the film. Watching the director's commentary reveals that they had no idea what they were doing and actively laughed in the face of fans at all their theories. The creators of TS4 (specifically the writers and directors) had no real respect for the first three films, and it shows when you listen to them.

Woody can do way better than being with a porcelain feminist who chastises and chews him out for information about rescue plans she didn’t bother telling him more about and treating him as incompetent out in the open in front of him and to others. Woody should’ve moved on from Bo and not become a simp. There’s plenty of fish, or toy fish in the sea. Also, this doesn’t factor into anything from TS4, since it’s not addressed at all, but Andy’s gonna literally murder Bonnie for losing his only sentimental childhood toy after not playing with him for 3 days.

Totally agree with this. While the series could have ended easily with the third one, now that the fourth one exists I see why it’s being continued. Simply going from kid to kid would only imply a sad end. Seeing toys like Woody find a new purpose feels much more satisfying. And this does open up a lot of possibilities for the series as well, if they do decide to continue it. We can follow Woody on a whole new style of adventures, or we could follow Buzz and the rest of the toys in more traditional adventures.

Dolly made it clear in the beginning of Toy Story 4 that Bonnie isn't Andy, at first I didn't like how Woody was pushed to the side in favor of the others but then again, it's always been that way for him. He's stuck in his old ways and can't understand that things don't last forever.

Toy Story 4 left me existentially terrified, and while I loved the movie, I never want to watch it again. The ending is just so vastly different from the other three that it hurts.

Great analysis! But I still feel like completely changing Woody's motivations and moral code, in effect his entire identity at the end of 4 felt very unearned and abrupt. Thanks to your explanation I can see better the message they might have been going for, but I don't think they pulled it off in practice at all. In fact I think the ending of 4 felt extremely forced and unsatisfying, like they had an idea of the moral they wanted to go with but without an effective game plan to let the characters reach it organically. This is why I see Toy Story 4 as an artistic failure, just as many worried it would be.

Spartan Jameson Locke 1. I find the ending was satisfying. Why should Woody stay when Bonnie clearly outgrew him? Bonnie didn't even notice him gone so he had no reason to stay with her. 2.I'm gonna assume that the reason the ending of 3 was ruined for you because Bonnie ended up outgrowing woody. Well since Bonnie was in daycare in 3, and she's going to kindergarten in 4 that means it was 2 years after 3, plenty of time for a kid to outgrow a toy, especially an old one like Woody. 3. Woody stood for loyalty. That was his flaw in the third movie. He convinced the toys to go to the attic because they had to be there for Andy towards the end of the movie. Only then does he realize that the toys would be happier with Bonnie than Andy. Toy story 4 is a continuation of that. He realizes he'll be happier without Bonnie since she outgrew him and he could do good for other toys and kids by helping toys find a kid at the carnival

I really appreciate your analysis of this movie not being so one-sided. You did acknowledge what they did to Buzz's character, which got under a lot of people's skin. But overall your tone and diction provides an unbiased view of this film in a way that I haven't seen done yet. It acknowledges the writing, and while that is questionable, there are some real gems hidden in what could be considered a flop for this amazing franchise. So thank you for that, it really means a lot to see the good side of things.

Very good thesis. I'd correct one point, though. Bo Peep's life was not child-free. Remember that she was eager to get to the sandbox to be played with by the children of visiting families. The difference is that she could go from child-to-child on her own terms rather than being left to fate. Plus she had the satisfaction of helping other toys find their own permanent children.

Wow very spot on Analysis. I read in a article somewhere that the true message of Toy Story was about growing up. You definitely hit the mark for each Toy Story film.

The three previous movies are about how toys only fullfil their purpose when they are played by a kid; in Woody's case, to be played by Andy. In the fourth, the idea of being played by a kid is not discarded. After all, Woody and Bo meet again when being played by a kid. Toy Story 4 is about Woody realising his place is no longer with his owner, but with Bo. Not that he doesn't need a kid or that kids don't need him, but that he doesn't need an owner, Bonnie, and Bonnie doesn't need him.

A toy that probably won't last that long anyway, we all know how durable Forky isn't. And it really trashes on what Andy told Bonnie, that Woody was special to him. And it just generally goes against what Woody has held dear to him, his family. I just can't see them apart I really can't. This film makes me think "you know, maybe they should have gone in the attic, or stayed at Sunnyside." either option would have been better than Bonnie.

And to me, TS4 is essential. I see this as Toy story 1: the fear of beeing abandonned Toy story 2: accepting that you will be abandonned Toy story 3: beeing abandonned Toy story 4 : how to move on After beeing abandonned. So yeah, TS4 matter a lot. And especially if you already felt the Woody situation. If you already have to Say goodbye to someone you deeply loved And was your reason to be alive. Moving on isn't an easy thing to do. And I 'm happy to see theses themes exposed in toy story. Now, how well it was handled. We Can talk about it.

I'd hate for there to be a 5th film, but only if it meant Andy and woody reuniting, and discussing that love, from a toy's perspective, doesn't always mean playtime. Hell, Andy could have gotten married and has his own child, and passed Woody down that way. I was fine with Toy Story 3's ending, but there really was no need for TS4 to exist.

Bo Peep is the Yoko Ono of the Toy Story Universe.

I would've preferred you discuss how Toy Story 4 isn't logically consistent with the previous films rather than the thematic tether. That argument can be made regardless of the quality of the story, such as with the Last Jedi or Game of Thrones. Woody's ideals of family, loyalty that he learnt throughout the whole trilogy are completely contradicted in TS4 and is even worse than Buzz's intelligence. The arguments you make to rationalise Woody's decision don't work when compared to the last three movies. His entire motivation by the end of the trilogy is sticking with his family. You make an argument that would've worked if the story had consistency and kept to the course TS1-3 was taking, if the groundwork was there to justify the 'themes'. It doesn't stack up when you try to compare the character progression: 'I'll have ol' Buzz Lightyear there with me, to infinity and beyond' at the end of TS2, 'what's important now is that we stick together' after coming back for his friends in TS3. Straight from the horses mouth. That was his mindset at the end of TS3 and The changes made to the characters at the start of TS4 are a complete 180. All of a sudden Woody's feeling left out again, which is weird considering how Bonnie was so attached to him at the end of TS3. By what TS3 showed us, she's going to get back home in TS4 and ask 'where's Woody?' Andy asked her to take care of him, it's such an obvious contradiction. All of a sudden he's more in love with Bo Peep than he cares for his family. He cared for her obviously, as was shown in TS3 when he is reminded that she's gone, but knows that his place (where he wants to be) is with his family. He doesn't want to go to College with Andy, get lost at the Dinoco gas station, be stuck in Sid's room or a museum in Japan. He wants to be with Buzz, Jesse, Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, Slinky, Rex and Hamm. Whether that's in Bonnie's room or at the garbage dump, he won't leave his friends. His family. And oh my god, Gabby Gabby is a villain. Kidnapping Forky, intimidation towards the other toys in the store and around the carnival, forcing Woody to ransom his voicebox. Her redemption comes at the expense of her and Bo Peep gaslighting Woody; he's made to feel guilty because he wants to keep his voicebox and get himself and Forky back to their family in one piece. Somehow that's seen as selfish. It's so incredibly contrived

However, the one aspect that still doesn't sit very well with me, is the fact that Andy emphasized so greatly how important Woody was to him at the end of 3. It makes sense that she gets more attached to Jessie over time, but it's just sad to think that Andy's favorite toy growing up was neglected by Bonnie and lost on a road trip.

love how you totally nail why the 4th movie is so good I see too many people claiming the 3rd movie to have a perfect ending but I never saw it that way the fourth movie really wholeheartedly embraced the idea, that is presented in all the movies, that change never has to be bad unless you want it to and that it can be a great thing, the ending of the third to me always seemed to backpedal on that by just sticking the toys with another kid nothing is changing your just starting the cycle over but Woody going off on his own man I saw that and thought genius now this is how it should be but hey that is just how I saw it great video my dude not just smart but very heartfelt as well

I agree, the Toy Story fandom is just too toxic, I love Toy Story and I predicted how good Toy Story 4's gonna be.

Woody sacrificed a part of himself for the benefit of a hurting soul and saving what would be viewed as the lowest of the low, trash. It has an interesting view on the question “what are we made for?” Woody moves from a singular view of “me and my child” to a more community based relationship. Lots to think about here. Thanks for the good overview!

I got goosebumps at the end. Great conclusion

I enjoyed Toy Story 4, but I'm in the camp of those who think it was unnecessary. It tarnishes the legacy of the previous 3 films. I hate that they dumbed down Buzz, and that we barely see the other toys. Originally, TS4 was supposed to be a romantic comedy? If that was the goal, they failed. There was barely any development or exploring of Woody & Bo Peep's relationship. There were interesting themes to be explored with the characters of Bo, Duke Kaboom, Gabby Gabby, and even Bunny & Ducky. They all suffer from longing and abandonment, but the film barely scratched the surface. Gabby Gabby got somewhat of an arc, but I felt so much pain for her. Because I can't help but think that the little girl she ended up with will quickly abandon her. She was crying because she was lost. She's not lost anymore. She found her parents. Lastly, I thought one of the central themes of Toy Story, is that no matter what, we try our best to stick together as a family. TS4 betrays that. I did not like Woody separating from his family, especially when there is not enough to tie him to Bo. They should have all stuck together. But even then, I would have been disappointed. Because now we know that Woody wasn't really fulfilled with Bonnie. It would have been better to end it at 3, by allowing us to believe that he had a happy ending. To me TS4 is tragic for everyone one involved, including Gabby Gabby. I pray they never make TS5.

You have a right to your opinion, but it is worth mentioning that Woody knew Bo for much longer than, say, Buzz, and in TS1 she did kiss him, which I think says that they were at least in love.

@@LuigiFan04 I'm not denying they were in love. I am saying that throughout the Toy Story films, we didn't see much of their relationship, unlike Woody's relationship with Buzz, Jesse, and even Bullseye & Slinky. Things can't just happen off screen, we need to see it. I am sure that you have met people that you've know for less time but have grown closer to than people you've known for over a decade. It happens all the time. Woody has been with Buzz and the rest of the Andy's toys longer, than he has been with Bo Peep. They've gone through more trials and tribulations together, which naturally strengthens their bonds. Bo has never been on any adventure outside Andy's room like the rest of Andy's toys. If TS4 was supposed to be a love story, we needed to see more between Bo & Woody. I am sure you've seen romantic comedies, or films that are about love stories. The romantic relationship between the love interests is at the center of the story. This is absolutely not the case in TS4. TS4 is about Woody's search for meaning more than anything else. It's not about Bo at all.

@@Mic-Mak I understand, but I still felt like it was a nessisary conclusion for Woody, imo.

You're talking completely conceptually about the movie, and from that standpoint I completely agree that it was amazing, but execution wise, you could definitely see the massive faults in the movie. I think this movie could have been great, but it was handled with an ignorance of characters and story logic that it flopped in my eyes as a heartfelt toy story movie.

Just watched Toy Story 4 so I finally watched this video, great job bud

Wow really made me appreciate toy story 4 way more great work

What a great video for a wonderful franchise. Well done.

I wonder if Pixar will make more short films about Woody and Bo Peep’s adventures, sort of like how they did with Toy Story of Terror or That Time Forgot. Maybe a Christmas special where they visit Bonnie’s toys or a Halloween special where they encounter some animal that seems scary to them but is harmless to us or they’ll find a scary looking toy that they’ll have to find a home for

The weird thing is that this movie is not a "soulless sequel", but it kind of feels like one. It has the feel of a phoned in a movie, but the script itself is not phoned in.

Great video! Two things I wanna add: 1. The beauty of ty4 ending is that there isn’t only one answer every toy follows. It’s a matter of choice. 2. Ty4´s villain is very much like ty1 woody: they love one specific child and would do everything for them. They stick to the rules (gaby gaby literally goes by the book) and are willing to use others to achieve their ends. But she isn’t a villain. She doesn’t screw over woody with her deal. And woody helping her is a proof of how far he’s gone. Suffice to say, I dearly loved that movie. I don’t think we’re gonna get another movie in this series, but I’ve been wrong before sooo... who knows? It just makes me want to play the tabletop rpg tiny even more now x)

She literally tried to rip out his voice box against his will. She's a villain. Just because she has a sob story doesn't immediately justify all her actions

Same! I felt the same way!

Toy story has always been about parenting. From no longer being the only one in the child life. To learning to let them go as they get older. To sending them off to college. The 4th is about retirement...you are still a parent but you move on from the role of a parent.

Quality video! Totally agree with all of this

Where do u get all the footage for your videos?

the 4th had beautiful animation but it didn't feel right...

The scene in the thumbnail is like the start of a bad Salvia trip. 😂

Toy Story 4 is also kinda sad with Duke’s backstory. His owner disowned him due to reality. He tries to recreate what the commercial displays only to learn the truth, and this is how Duke learns he’s a toy, as well as how is owner does. This is really sad...

I liked Toy Story 4 but the main thing that frustrated me was Bonnie. The fact that she just forgot about Woody. If someone I didn't even know just gave me all the toys that he clearly loved. I would have cherished them, all of them. I wouldn't have just forget that any of them existed.

Toy Story 4 is definitely not soulless. But I would say it is a bit too soulful. The whole thing has a slow pace and wistfulness that is interesting, but doesn't quite fit with a kids movie. It also lacks the spectacular visual climax that all the other movies have.

I don’t think it was for kids tbh, I was even around when the first movie came out, or the second but even I’m an adult. So I think it was made with an older audience in mind, the events of this movie won’t really impact a kid nearly as much as a young adult who grew up with the series

Eoin Campbell I don't think this movie was meant for kids.

Bonnie really did woody dirty in that movie. I also dont think gabby should have been rewarded for the way she acted , I mean she could have still got the child but she shouldn't have gotten his voice box.

The biggest argument everyone has about TS4s ending was that it goes against TS3s ending, where he chose staying with his fellow toys. But what everyone is forgetting in their arguments is Bopeep. He didn’t just abandon them, they were safe and happy. Woody chose to be with the woman he loved and lost, as well as found a new purpose for himself after Bonnie lost interest in him. Just ending with him continuously being a hand-me-down toy left too much room for a sad ending.

Bopeep is just an excuse to write Woody out of the franchise, at the same time playing on a fem theme. And the love between them is superficial. Woody didn't really miss Bo in part 3. Toys are made for kids. It's not sad. It's life.

Ok first of all Bo Peep wasn't very nice to Woody until the end Second in Toy Story 3 when the toys arrive at Sunnyside Woody decided to go back to Andy cause he knew it's where he belonged while the others wanted to stay behind he didn't care if he'd be in the attic or at college if it's where Andy wants him to be And they (at the time of that scene anyway) they didn't know of Lotso's tyranny and so they thought that Sunnyside was a new beginning for them 2 make other kids happy Woody even says "it's nice here but we have to go home" Cause he knows that no matter how nice a new alternative can be what matters is making a kid happy and he must stay loyal to Andy no matter what Not to mention he has Bonnie's name on his boot while Jessie does not despite the 4th movie making you think Bonnie likes Jessie more
