Toy Story = landmark of 3D animation and whimsical story to spark children's imagination
Toy Story 2 = kind of a cash grab, let's be honest. But they got to play it goofy.
Toy Story 3 = actually somewhat soulful goodbye to the series that was reasonably timed for the audience
4 was completely unnecessary and nobody watched it. So if you want to know what went wrong it was producers looking to milk a beloved franchise dry because the entire industry is built on yearly low-risk tentpole films that carry the rest of the studio. One where declining revenues has led executives and shareholders to become more and more risk-averse and banking on brand recognition over quality.
>Cars 1 and 3 are great.
People liked Cars? That story where a car learns to turn left on a racing circuit, then forfeits winning to help a loser finish, and is then told he won because he didn't?
It even had a love interest that started and went nowhere with zero plot relevance.
That shit was schizophrenic.
Four wasn't even bad. In fact compared to 99% of the asswater that hits theaters these days it was downright kino.
It just wasn't necessary. 3 was a great wrap up leave it the frick alone.
>What went wrong
I don’t think anyone picked up on it but the whole “lost toys” concept basically ruined the other 3 in retrospect. In the first movie all of their motivations are around Andy because they’re his toy. When we find out there’s groups of toys who just do their own thing in 4 because they’re sentient it makes you wonder why do they even give a frick about having an owner?
>Movie >Movie sequel >Movie sequel that's an ending >Movie sequel that undoes the previous movie
4 existing at all is mistake. 1, 2 and 3 make for good trilogy and then 4 shits on it
Toy Story is a perfect animated film.
Toy Story 2 is overrated but still good.
Toy Story 3 was when Pixar started going deep into cash grab territory, but it was still good.
Toy Story 4 was a blatant cash grab, a bad movie, and a big part of Pixar becoming less relevant.
1: What if toys had feelings? Don't think about it too much and you'll enjoy it. Comfy Pixar.
2: What is toys had value to collectors? Interesting direction, but at least it continued introducing depth to the concept.
3: What if toys had a lifespan, could go to purgatory, and pass out the otherside, reborn to a new owner and thus new lifespan? Are we actually watching the toys refuse purgatory and fight their way through hell? That almost makes up for the logical gaps (Spanish mode) and the abandonment of Andy.
4: What if toys had no rules at all lolz A kid playing with their food makes a toy out of it, then eats it. This is Up level bullshit right here.
5: What if toys were voiced by their original voice actors and not turned into DEI scorecards?
>Change can be scary but you can adjust and might make new friends >Adults who play with toys are kind-of weird right? >You're in your 20s, stop playing with your toys and move on >Are you really still playing with your childhood toys in yours 30s? >Anyway don't forget to buy your Disney™ merchandise
I mostly just don't get why Andy didn't hold on to his toys and give them to his own future kids. That's what most people do for their favorite/treasured childhood stuff if they can and makes more sense than him just forgetting about them.

Toy Story 2 was okay
Pixar became just another studio who pumps out product.
Even 3 had alot of soul. Some point after that the magic of pixar died.
Toy Story 2
Millennials say 3
Zoomers say 4
Gen alpha will say 5

I didn't like it, but the people have spoken
It's not that revenues are down its the law of large numbers and diminishing returns. Disney is too big for its own good.
>toy story 2, cashgrab
>toy story 3, soul
How can anyone be this fricking moronic, jesus
Same thing happened with Cars.
Cars 1 and 3 are great. Cars 2 is crap.

What’s with the cover on 3? It’s just Buzz’s face, he was even that relevant in the movie
They had a perfect ending but made another one anyway for brand recognition and money

Whiny manchildren got filtered by Armond White and got him removed from RT
Should have used more daz models

The name “John Lasseter” is just a Google search away…

It was a great trilogy imo but I didn't enjoy the forth that much
