Lamp Life

You were wondering what happened to Bo in the intervening years between Toy Story 2 and 4 and your questions are now answered, in the funniest, most visually gorgeous and strongly acted way in which only Pixar could deliver.

The short purports to explain Bo's journey from leaving Molly (before Toy Story 3) until she re-appeared in Toy Story 4. None of the material is compelling and like a lot of the deleted scenes shorts it has a perfunctory vibe. Worse as far as I can tell how Bo's arm got broken was never explained. This means the short doesn't even do what it set out to do.

It's a companion piece to Toy Story 4. Bo Peep and her sheep are at the carnival with Woody and Giggle McDimples. She recounts her life on the lamp and how she got to the playground. She starts as figures on a lamp and it's a long winding road to the second hand store.

This is sweet although a bit unnecessary. I kept expecting a big surprise reveal or a fun twist. It never really comes. I know that it's only a short, but a big idea would put this over the top. Tom Hanks is not here, but they do bring out his brother. It looks great especially with the carnival. This is a nice visit with a couple of friends.

Good graphics and relaxing story and sounds. Whole new world, similar to dreams. Comparable graphics to Shrek. Could be better in video game. Funny, simple, not time waster. Reminds me of a dream, wish I was there. Adventurous. Sweet.

Wow.., such a wonderful cute movie . , The climax was so nice.., the story line ,emotional scene , and also I felt like the animation quality is very much improved than before.
