The movie released this weekend is actually the leading actor of two cartoons. One is the release of the "Life Years" of Ghibli's animation classic "Spirited Away", and the other is the sequel to the series of Pixar " Toy Story 4".
Although the former is highly anticipated, the latter inevitably faces many doubts.
Before being taken over by Disney's father, Pixar basically did not make a sequel. Now, the story of the toys has actually been released in the fourth part! The story is so complete when the third part is told, can it really be continued?
But after it was released, I was convinced. Never underestimate Pixar! Their skills in the field of animation film are amazing, and they can still play new tricks after 24 years of classics! On the first day of
release, the Douban score actually reached 9.0! Although it is certain that it will slide down next, it is definitely at the average level of the series. The reputation overseas is also quite good, with an IMDb score of 8.8 and a 98% freshness of rotten tomatoes. This wave of results is simply dizzy.
9 years ago, the third part of the series won the best animated feature film of the year and reached the peak of this series.
When the audience watched Andy grow up in the movie and gave the toys he loved to the little girl Bonnie, they all thought that the story of Toy Story had ended, but the animation leader Pixar once again stubbornly told us: the story, some others say it.

Breaking the "abandoned" theme
First of all, I must tell you that the first three of your favorite toys are all there! Western Cowboy Hudy , Space Police Buss Light Year , Hug Dragon, Spring Dog , Egg Head Couple... None of them are missing, this adventure they are all back.
The most surprising thing is that the Shepherd, who had a little ambiguous relationship with Woody, has also returned!
old friends are all here, and the fourth part tells the story of course continues the context of the first three parts. The toys come to another child Bonny's world. Toys Woody always says: "We're Andy's Toys" (We are Andy's Toys).
When Andy grew up and handed them to Bonnie, Houdy once again restrained herself as a toy and kept telling herself that I wanted to protect Bonnie to grow up.
His love and care for the new owner is like an old mother. His gold-like quality is the absolute loyalty to the owner. So when the new toy Fork escaped Bonny on the road to family travel, Houdy found the ignored sense of existence and always the sense of mission by looking for Fork.
But will his self-pursuing resonate with Chacha? The reason why the
toy series looks good is because it looks at the world from the perspective of toys. Toys live in the world of children, and their world is closely related to the world of children. The mission they care most about is to accompany their children, and the fate that toys fear the most is to be abandoned.
To a certain extent, the narrative of the Toy Story series is like a pet movie: there are joys, sorrows and sorrows in a small circle, value demands surrounding human beings, and various gold-like qualities that humans have even ignored. In the first three parts of
, the emergence of new toys, the damage to the toy itself, and Andy no longer needs toys when he grows up, all put the toys in the crisis of being abandoned at any time. The mission of the protagonists Woody and Buss Lightyear is to lead the toys to resolve the "abandonment" crisis again and again and return to their masters.
"Toys cannot be without owners", this idea has been deeply implanted in the first three movies. Even in the third part, as Andy entered university and the biggest abandonment crisis in history emerged, the emergence of the new owner Bonnie still gave Toy a home.
So we almost never think about: Can toys be without owners?
This time, the return of Aries brought an answer to this question, and also made Houdy start thinking about this question.
Toys are no longer flowers in greenhouses. The emergence of "stroll" toys has brought more possibilities to the future of toys, and also gives an answer to the "abandoned" theme that has been discussed in the first three: Since humans can choose toys, toys can also choose their own place of return!

New toys, new gameplay
This year's "Toy Story" can be called the most horrifying series in history. Pixar is obviously good at playing, and putting this adventure location in an antique store is definitely the best place to create a horror atmosphere! After all, no one knows what will suddenly appear in a bunch of old things...
Pixar dares to play like this because they were scared by this. When their production team was inspecting the antique store on the spot, they were startled by the dolls in the store, so they had a sudden idea. Benson, a doll that resembles "Dead Silence", was born.
In the dark antique store, a group of Bensons staring at you like this is really "surprising"!
But don’t worry, this is definitely not a horror movie. The first thing I feel when I watch the whole movie is happiness!
It should be said that this new toy added is really very informative and full of memory! When I watched it, I was sighing, Disney, you really want to use the new wave of peripherals to cheat all the pocket money of the children...
's main jokes come from new characters, especially the Canadian stunt motorcycle rider dubbed by Keanu Reeves. Although he often fails to act coolly, he is eye-catching with his personal charm that is not shocking.
There are also two furry rabbits and ducks. These two love and kill each other are like crosstalk on stage wherever they go. They are funny and playful. The ones that come out immediately are "Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner" (Good luck, chicken tonight) are definitely walking jokes.
The character that the audience expects most should be the fork that appears in the trailer. The new toy "fork" made by Little Bonnie with a spoon and other waste on the first day of kindergarten is also very cute.
Other toys are racking their brains to stay by the owner, but insisting on being garbage is trash, but Boss Hou was eager to stay with the garbage, which made Boss Houdy very troubled...
not only guarantees the return of the old character, but also leaves most of the scenes to the new character, creating new highlights in adventures. It is really not easy, but if you are a fan of old toys, there may be regrets, and many old toy characters have discounted scenes. The adult world in

animation
"Toy Story" series is now the series of animations with the highest average score on Douban. The result of winning this is that Pixar's animation is never just for children to watch. In the world of toys, there are also many cruel facts that adults face.
In the first part, the appearance of the new toy Buss Light Year made Houdy see his jealousy and inferiority complex. He always comforts everyone that we are Andy's most important toy, but he is always worried that he will be replaced. So we understand that it is not easy to be able to face our own ordinary things.
new favorite Buss Light Year was immersed in his dream of being a hero of the universe. Until the TV commercial made him realize that he was a toy, he struggled in his dreams and reality, and finally accepted that even if he couldn't fly, it would not prevent him from becoming a hero.
In the third part, all the toys were donated to Sunshine Kindergarten. When the loyalty of the toys meets the betrayal of the owner, should we continue to be loyal?
The Woody who insists on returning to Andy lets us know that the remote control of life is always in our own hands. In the first three movies of
, Hudy is kind, loyal and conscientious. He hangs his destiny on his master, so no matter how many difficulties he encounters, it is his courage to fight to return to his master, because once he is forgotten, Hudy's toy career will come to an end.
His disconfidence in himself, his obsession with Andy, and his fear of abandonment all stem from his lack of belonging in his heart.
This is the attention of the Toy Story series to reality. Like toys, the universal values of family, loyalty, kindness, and love have become the source of security for many people in real life. These beliefs support us in managing our lives.
is also because of this. Many hopeful people’s toy series are frozen in the perfect ending of the third part. Bonnie becomes the home of toys and also a utopia in the hearts of the audience outside the venue. We always hope to stay in our own comfort zone.
The fourth part still discusses these. The villain Gabby's desire to be loved, the shepherd's yearning for freedom, and Houdy's pursuit of self also appears in our growth.
However, this time, Pixar obviously does not want to continue the "feelings" of the first three movies; loyalty and kindness are important, but most importantly, Woody may be able to live for himself. The fourth part breaks all the rules established by the first three parts, conveying the most realistic voice: Be yourself and you won’t be forgotten.
Each toy makes a choice in the final ending, and the film does not judge whether they decide right or wrong, because what they decide is what they really want to have.
This is not a topic that can be used for moral judgment. Woody has more things from his father. He believes in his mission and believes that there will always be some necessity in choices. But the choice of fork has more modern thinking: I know what I am, I know what I want.
"Toy Story" has arrived in the fourth part. After 24 years, Woody and Buss light years have passed, and are beginning to face new problems with the profession of toys. In this series of changes, we can see the mark of the times.
I believe that parents with children must be very happy this weekend and can pretend to take their babies to the cinema to watch cartoons~ But everyone without babies must not be reserved. Pixar's story is never that simple.
