Toy Story 1:A Wonderful *First* chapter. Toy Story 2:A Perfect *Middle* chapter. Toy Story 3:A Beautiful *Final* chapter. Toy Story 4:Uuuuuh...A Good *Extra.*
I'm glad to see someone share the same thoughts on TS4's animation in comparison to TS3's. While I think there's still some parts of 4 that look gorgeous, the over-reliance on realism kinda misses the point of why the original trilogy looked the way it did. It wasn't just because of CG limitations (even though it was in some cases, especially with TS1 during it's production), but it was also done to create characters and locations in a way that's appealing to the eye. TS4 by comparison is basically just TS3 but with RTX lighting applied to everything. And not in a good way. Hell, even some of Pixar's other sequels like Incredibles 2 fall into this same trap. It's all just gorgeous rendering without really understanding what made the original artstyles work in their predecessors (technical limitations aside).
Toy Story 4 was the only one of the four films to have had an impact on my life. I saw it when I was seventeen in the cinema with low expectations, and at that time I was going through a period in my life where I was petrified of the idea of being an adult because of the general aura of the education system where children are raised their entire lives with everything provided for them and it being cut off all of a sudden at the age of eighteen with the fear of not having a roof over their heads looming over them if they don't do their jobs without asking any questions. I remember feeling uncomfortable seeing Woody have the same internal struggles that I was having at the time play out as his case in the film's story was dealing with his fixation of being there for a child and letting it bite him on the arse mentally and my case was pushing myself to produce the best work I could for my teachers and parents just to shut them up instead of having a personal opinion on it for myself. I also felt uncomfortable seeing Buzz go through a moment where he was fighting himself about what to do because I had thought "what if that's me when I'm in university?". The ending of the film was the moment that "changed my life" and it taught me a lesson about managing my mental health, and in the days and in the months after watching it in the cinema, it gave me some stamina to produce my own content on TikTok and on this website and to push myself outside of my comfort zone in the world of social media. Even during covid 19, it was a film that I would often watch on Disney Plus in my spare time although that stamina that I had gotten from watching it in the cinema was long gone. I think that I would classify it as the first animated film directly about someone's mental health and I would easily label it as the conclusion of the parent/child foundation of the series because of what Woody went through and what Buzz did for him at the end. I still hold it as one of the best films that I have seen in my life to this very day because of how its message had softened my experience in university and my last year of secondary school and had resulted in me pushing myself to make some stuff that I could look back on and be happy with. Toy Story 2 is still my favourite in the series because of the elevator that the toys ride on and the airport sequence, but Toy Story 4 is the only one of the series that I think had managed to push me in a direction that I don't think that I would have taken.
(CBG RP) I was watching the Woody's Roundoup westerday...and the fact the team of the show in the 50s don't make the final episode was the *worst mistake ever !* (And the fact of Pixar making a Toy story 5 will be a Bigger mistake.)
The cleaner scene is one of Pixar’s crown jewels, it’s so methodical. It feels like an ode to toy hobbyists to balance out Al’s sleeze. Shocked you don’t appreciate it! Wall-E is also my favorite Pixar and it came out when I saw 7… your theory holds water.
One thing I love across all the movies (yes, even the trash heap that is Toy Story 4, yes, I said it) is Woody and Buzz’s running animations. I know it’s a tiny thing to love, but it just shows how much attention to detail there was, especially in the first and second movies. Woody is full of mostly stuffing besides his head, hands, and boots, making the rest of his body - i.e. his arms and legs - flail around when he moves. In stark contrast, Buzz’s whole body is made of thick plastic, so his running or other movement in general is a lot more controlled. I just love how even the smallest things like walking/running animations are portrayed for toys, throughout all the movies in this series
Toy story 4 isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It's fine but it isn't some unwatchable garbage that most people will make it out to be. I loved toy story 3 and grew up with the franchise same as everyone else but people's obsession with 3 and nostalgia make being in the fandom or wanting more for the franchise impossible
Gabby Gabby isn't a villain, just a broken toy desperate for a child's love. For that reason, the scene where she confronts Woody, before he traded his voicebox to get Forky bac to Bonnie, is my favorite because it revealed her motivation with innocence. It's a shame most Toy Story fans miss the point about her character and the film itself. 😞
Toy Story: Just because you’re not what you thought you were doesn’t mean you’re not part of a good thing. Toy Story 2: Just because a good thing won’t last forever doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still enjoy it while it lasts. Toy Story 3: Just because a good thing ends, it doesn’t mean that there aren’t good things ahead of you. Toy Story 4: Screw all y’all, I’m leaving and joining the circus with my girlfriend. (this isn't mine I took this from another video, but it does show my feeling perfectly.)
The video is nice but saying you dislike the Cleaners Scene/woody fixing scene is a Crime Like people remember that scene as top moments scene in Toy Story 2
@@r3ddr01d7 Well you don't expect a person to like any critically acclaimed scene right ? He explains well in this part why he has problems with the scene even though I like it too.
John Lasseter isn't a bad guy. He realized the dangers of his behavior, and he stepped down because he realized he was out of line. He didn't sexually assault any of Pixar's staff.
