Toy Story 4 [DVD] (English audio. English subtitles)

Does this film live up to the Toy Story legacy? Yes. Does it leave me feeling as though it should have been more? Yes.By no means is this a mediocre film, it is far from being average. For me it sits between 8.5 to 9/10, which places it as the weakest Toy Story entry for myself.I grew up with Toy story, Toy Story 3 was amazing and the parting of Andy and Toys was delivered by Pixar with absolute perfection. I felt happy that nearly all toy story characters in Toy Story 3 were given a limelight and of course everybodies favourite Woody and Buzz were given the screen time they deserve. It also left room for other beloved characters like Jessie and rex to have a meaningful place in the story.Toy story 4 however is mainly Woody's film. All beloved characters didn't really get the screen time they deserved and when they did it was for roles which left me feeling they were ditched. (Spoiler!!) The goodbye between buzz and Woody was executed well, but becuase of Buzz's low profile in the film, it just felt too sad not the bittersweet it should have been.Again, Toy Story 4 is by no means a bad film, it is by any standards a VERY Good film. The story was very good and it made sense for Woodys character development. Seeing all of the toys again was amazing, and the tribute to Mr potato heads actor was nice. The return of Bo peep was great as her absence in Toy Story 3 was one of the negatives of the film.The comedy is as good, if not better, than ever due to dynamics between long loved and new characters. The Vincent's gave me a cringy shiver (so freaky) reminiscent of how chuck made me feel, absolutely brilliant.The visual effects work is just stunning, really nailed the Pixar art style that I have always loved.Overall I would give this a 8.5 to 9/10. Hence it would be unfair to award it 4/5 as it deserved better than that.Highly recommend.

* StoryAndy has gone to college. The toys are in the company of Bonny, and she's off to Induction day of primary school. To support her, Woody sneaks into her bag and helps her to create another toy. As a treat, Bonnys parents go on a road trip. The toy Bonny made, 'Forkie' leads the group to an investigation in a store and local fairground. The emotional aspect is a doll with a damaged voice box who leads a group. What happens next?* SummaryThe big difference with this Blu ray is the superb quality of the subtle multiple colour rendering that makes the fairground sections photorealistic. The emotional parts are with the 1950's doll that was rejected due to her having a damaged voice, and Woody lets her have his to give her a chance. Note the music at one point is the from 'the Shining'. I saw this at the flicks and rejected it. I saw this on Blu -ray recently and rate it very much. Woody departs the franchise and this may have a major influence on any following story. Hes a major feature of the heart and story.

all good.

Toy Story 1 & 2 were childhood favourites of mine, I'd watch them on an almost daily basis. Toy Story 3 was an emotional rollercoaster that felt like such a fulfilling conclusion. The announcement of a 4th film had me very worried, even though Pixar has a great track record, I was worried it would undermine the perfect ending that 3 had. Luckily, it was still a great film and definitely worth a watch.The animation is absolutely gorgeous, to the point of almost photo-realism. The opening scene takes place outside during heavy rain, and it practically looked like live-action in some places. The voice acting is, as always, fantastic. Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and the rest of the original cast fit back into their roles perfectly. The newer cast are all welcome additions (Keanu Reeves as Duke Caboom is a particular highlight). The character of Bo Peep has so much more depth this time around as well. The comedy mostly lands, though there are a few jokes that repeat one too many times, mainly the scenes where Forky keeps trying to throw himself into the bin, but it doesn't take away from the overall enjoyment of the film.The ending, while it is satisfying, and gives the characters a good send-off, still didn't quite hit me the same way as 3's ending did. I would say overall that, while it is my least favourite in the series, I'd still recommend it to anyone who has a vague interest in seeing it.

Daughter is happy she now has all 4 movies

Have read many negative reviews of the 4th part of toy story… I have to say that I felt it brought the adventure to a “believable “ close.. the characters have maintained themselves over the 4 films. my 5 year old grandson was involved from the start, watched it from beginning to end in one viewing( something he doesn’t usually do).

Superb products and services

My son was nearly 4 when he saw this first and he is 5 and a bit now. Every time he watches it, he gets something new. This film is the gift that keeps on giving........and he always asks why I cry.....one day he’ll get it, but he doesn’t need to yet. Let him love Duke Caboom!!!!!! I love sharing this film with him.
