Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times It's a smart addition to a canon whose intelligence is already well established. Dec 3, 2014 Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix It's still fun, still sweet, and still a pleasure to hear Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Wallace Shawn and the gang voice these characters, but I checked my watch several times and would have probably preferred it at something closer to Toy Story Toons length. Rated: B Dec 2, 2014 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety Funny, warm and not afraid to include gags clearly intended more for parents than their kids, it's the kind of production that keeps the franchise fresh (and crassly, merchandise flying off shelves) while waiting for yet another sequel. Dec 2, 2014 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) The weakest of these specials but still entertaining holiday Toy Story film Dec 29, 2024 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins No new ground is traversed in this swift little episode, but the Battlesaurs are nevertheless a slick addition. Rated: 5/10 Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Drew Taylor The Playlist Quite frankly, it makes you realize that the "Toy Story" series could easily continue, uninterrupted, to infinity and beyond.

SkyRo P I've decided to embark on an extensive review of all four films in the beloved Toy Story franchise, brought to life by Disney and Pixar. Let’s kick things off with the original Toy Story. This film is nothing short of extraordinary; it stands as a true masterpiece in the realm of animation, boasting exceptional writing and character development. Its credibility is beyond question. Andy is the quintessential character whose toys spring to life, and although he has minimal screen time, his presence is deeply felt. His name scrawled on the soles of his toys serves as a powerful reminder of his affection for them. The dynamic between Woody and Buzz Lightyear drives the narrative. Instead of a conventional villain, we witness a rivalry between an old-school toy and a shiny new one. Woody, the classic pull-string cowboy, finds himself overshadowed by Buzz’s high-tech features and ability to "fly." The filmmakers cleverly crafted Buzz’s journey of self-discovery, as he grapples with the realization that he’s just a toy, adding depth and complexity to the story. This cinematic gem has rightfully earned its accolades, including an Oscar, and has become a cultural phenomenon. It resurrected familiar faces like Mr. Potato Head, RC Car, and Slinky Dog, bringing them vibrantly to life in the Toy Story universe. Supporting characters like Rex, Bo Peep and her sheep, the aliens, and even Zurg, who plays an important role in Buzz's story, add layers to this remarkable film. Sid, the mischievous neighbor who disassembles toys, further enhances the narrative, making Toy Story an unforgettable experience. Moving on to Toy Story 2, this sequel brilliantly builds on its predecessor, expanding the stories of beloved characters while introducing new ones. Buzz and Woody’s partnership shines, and this time they face a true antagonist. Jessie and Bullseye are fantastic additions, enriching the Toy Story universe. The film cleverly subverts expectations by presenting Jessie as a strong cowgirl alongside Buzz, deepening the narrative. Barbie and Ken also take on more substantial roles, alongside the army men and the villain Stinky Pete, whose desire for reunion brings both tension and heart to the story. The overall plot is masterfully crafted, captivating audiences with its ingenuity. Before diving into the third installment, I’d like to highlight the delightful shorts and special features that emerged from the Toy Story franchise. These mini-adventures, though brief, contribute significantly to the overall character development and richness of the narrative. Miss Potato Head also adds a comedic flair to the mix, showcasing her love for Mr. Potato Head and their amusing relationship. Now, onto Toy Story 3, featuring Lotso, a villainous teddy bear with a strawberry scent. His presence creates one of the most heart-pounding climaxes in animated film history, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats. With Andy heading off to college, we meet Bonnie, who takes over as the new owner of the toys, allowing their journey to continue. New characters like Trixie, Dolly, and the lovable Wheezy add to the franchise’s charm, and each installment has consistently grossed over a billion dollars, demonstrating the creativity and enduring appeal of the series. Finally, we arrive at Toy Story 4, which introduces new characters like Gabby and Forky, a quirky creation made from popsicle sticks. This film follows Woody and Bo Peep, who has undergone a stunning transformation into a more adventurous character. While the story itself feels somewhat lacking compared to its predecessors, Gabby’s character arc as an antihero seeking love gives a fresh twist. However, this shift in villain dynamics leaves some fans longing for the clear-cut good versus evil tension established in earlier films. Nevertheless, Toy Story 4 introduces exciting new elements to the franchise, and with news of Toy Story 5 on the horizon, fans can look forward to even more adventures. Ultimately, the entire Toy Story franchise remains a brilliant, imaginative, and groundbreaking series. Despite some ups and downs, it has captured the hearts of audiences around the globe, proving its lasting legacy in cinematic history. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Koen H Oh, yeah, battle dinosaurs GO! :D Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/29/24 Full Review Audience Member It's cute but a scene of toy being played with for the first time shouldn't feel like a sex scene just happened. With two toys laying next to each other exhausted talking about how great it was. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Still nothing compared to the Toy Story films, but it's a fun spin on the Toy Story franchise, and still with the brilliant cast. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member So many new characters with the quality of a feature film. Definitely worth watching. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Keshon L i really like this short it is so fun i really loved it the fighting the strong story i really love it.
