Beautiful animation but... Where are the characters from the first three movies?
Bonnie - played with every toy she had, happy, wildly creative to sulky, not playing with every toy, not friendly... This girl grew up in daycare, why wouldn't she sit with other kids? She acted like a child that had been sheltered all her life. Then not playing with Woody after being so excited in the third movie. Continuity is so weird in this movie.
Bo - shy, quiet, coy, and sweet to pushy, aggressive, and loud, even before the long years alone. I'm sorry but old Bo would have stayed in the store. Maybe even teamed up with Gabby.
Woody - loyal to the last, brave, go getter, and seeks justice to mopey and unloyal. After that speech in the begining of 3, the ending of this movie makes zero sense. He of all toys should know that 4 year olds go through phases of likes and dislikes.
Buzz - brave, confident, and natural born leader to timid and unsure of himself... What?! This movie was an insult to Buzz. Not knowing what to do, needing his toy voice to make a decision. It completely ruined this movie for me. I appreciate them trying to not have the reoccurring forget youre a you thing but... This was a bad choice.
I honestly think the creators have forgotten who Buzz is. Between this crushing of his character and the abomination stand alone movie... The evidence speaks for itself.
I liked the antique store idea but I think the combo of the carnival was too much. I think the store alone could have been the movie. Wish the cat had been the main antagonist as those parts were interesting and funny. I really liked Gabby but she seemed to be an afterthought. Why didn't they have the famous Pixar backflash with her instead of just being told her story? We got Duke's, who was my favorite new toy. Why didn't we get more time with Bonnie's toys and the old gang who just sat in the rv all movie? This movie should have been called "Bo and Woody: a new toy story"
This movie is pretty good and possibly better if you do not remember the previous three .
