After wrapping up the storyline perfectly in 2010’s “Toy Story 3” Pixar has decided to still go forward with “Toy Story 4” and we have two new teaser trailers.
The first teaser shows to toys all holding hands in harmony, until the new character, a spork named Forky, causes them all to fall to the ground. This doesn’t give any insight into what the new “Toy Story” will be about, nor does it inspire confidence in me.
The second trailer, released the next day, featured Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele as stuffed animals talking about the apparently famous Buzz and Woody. Towards the end of the teaser, Buzz and Woody (Tim Allen and Tom Hanks) show up, making fun of the new characters for their poor imitations.
When I was watching it, I didn’t even realize it was “Key and Peele,” but even after finding that out, I still can’t help but feel like this movie is completely unnecessary.
After Andy went to college in the third film, he gave his toys to the little girl, Bonnie, so they could all live on. It was a nice way to tie everything together and back when it was released, it was known for making more than a few people tear up. Now, it looks like they just want more money, so they threw this together.
I hope I’m wrong, because “Toy Story” is a great trilogy and I don’t want its significance to be diluted by a weak installment, but I’m sensing the fourth film will be more like “Cars 2” than any of the “Toy Story” movies.
“Toy Story 4” will be released on June 21, 2019.
