I gotta admit, I was a little skeptical about the idea of a Toy Story 4. I thought Toy Story 3 was a satisfying ending to a great series. It wasn't until I gave the new edition a chance that I realized how much the series needed this. The most obvious thing about TS4 is the incredible animation. WOW. Looking back at the original, it's insane how much the animation has improved. When you watch, pay attention to the details, specifically the human characters. Some scenes look almost real. A great accomplishment of TS4 is the balance of giving old favorites screen time and adding new characters to the mix. This is something not just every sequel can pull off, and it can make or break a movie. Although, scrolling through some reviews that have already been posted (seriously, how do you guys get these up so quickly?), it seems that some of the new additions aren't very popular. On the contrary, I thought the perfect amount of screen time was given to good ol' Jesse, Buzz, Rex, and Hamm, as well as enough given to new characters such as Forky, Duke, and Gabby Gabby. I was glad to see Bo Peep again, along with seeing how things were going at the toys' new home with Bonnie. The opening to this movie, with the famous "You've Got A Friend In Me" along with a montage of Andy and eventually Bonnie playing with the beloved toys, is emotional and nostalgic. And finally the ending. The ENDING. I shed a few tears (Nearly as much as I cried at Toy Story 3). Overall, Toy Story 4 told me to not doubt sequels. Every single addition to the Toy Story series has been great. This is the first series that I have seen pull that off. I wouldn't mind a Toy Story 5, but for now, we'll let this be enough. :')

This episode wasn't bad. Lately Kenny and Butters have only really been defined by their relationships with other boys and not had too much character development themselves, so it was nice to see an episode where Cartman was mainly absent and there was a focus on a simple, funny adventure between the two kindest boys in South Park.

I rarely can honestly say that something deserves an Emmy, but this episode...it was simply revolutionary. The pure, incredible satire of Caillou's hissy fit about his rain-checked circus affair, the amazing creativity of the makeshift kitchen band that Daddy came up with, and no one can forget Caillou's signature bratty attitude towards his sister, father, and sleeping mother! I love it!
