Yes, Toy Story 4 is the 4th best movie in the franchise but it's still a necessary epilogue to a great franchise.

I was born in the mid 90's and grew up on Toy Story 1 & 2. I thought Toy Story 3 was the perfect ending to the trilogy that dealt with themes of growing up and moving on in life. This really hit home when it came out in theaters since I was a high school student preparing to move on from my hometown friends and family and go off to college.

I believe 3 is still the best film but it does not address how there is more than one path to life. 4 shows that there's more to being a toy than being loved by a kid and that it's never too late to change course in life whether it's a career change or moving to another city. There are many different paths in life and not everyone is going to take the same one. Not every toy needs to be a child's play-thing just how not every person needs to have a wife and kids with a white picket fence. And while loyalty is important, it is sometimes necessary to put yourself first for the benefit of your own happiness.

If you got this far, thanks for reading my philosophical take. I also thought Forky was hysterical.

The film was a bit disappointing. I think they could've tied the stories together to make the movie more cohesive.

I actually like Vince Vaughn a lot (Swingers, Old School, Wedding Crashers), but he's just too annoying in this movie. His boisterous character takes away from a unique plot.
