MOVIE REVIEW: We didn't need another 'Toy Story' movie - but this one sure is good

, I was worried that it has somehow become another Disney cash-cow. I didn’t doubt it would be good - Pixar would never dishonour Toy Story with trash writing - I just wondered if it would be relevant, not only to an ageing millennial but to an audience where a kid is more likely to be focused on their iPad than their toys that never seem to be in the same spot.

Last we saw the gang, they were in their new home with a new kid - Bonnie - but Woody isn't over losing Andy. He’s reeling in an existential crisis, which becomes personified in the real world through Forky - a kindergarten arts-and-crafts friend that can’t handle its sentience. A weary Woody is focused only on Bonnie’s happiness until he bumps into a very old friend.

Bo Beep has experienced quite a revamp. In earlier stories, she was always being rescued in Andy’s games by the heroic sheriff, but now she’s saving herself and carving out her own life outside of a child’s bedroom. She’s pretty awesome and is another example of the Hollywood turning point around how female characters are written. She hasn’t lost her old personality; she’s just become more dynamic.

The modern age has brought with it many wonders, but also a constant daily anxiety about our purpose in the world. We might feel like we are being left behind by our peers or those younger than us, tired of doing something that once we found joy in, or just generally feeling like we are stuck in a cupboard, waiting to be played with. Woody is no longer that favourite toy, something that has happened before, but his reaction has changed drastically.

With Buzz in the first movie, he was quite malicious and jealous over his precious Andy, but now he has seen things, met and made new friends, and instead spirals inwards about his purpose in life. It might make you wonder if everything is okay over at Pixar, but they are just reflecting the world around them.
