IMDb plot summary: When a new toy called "Forky" joins Woody and the gang, a road trip alongside old and new friends reveals how big the world can be for a toy.
Directed by Josh Cooley. Starring Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Annie Potts, and Tony Hale.
The problem inherent with this movie is that Toy Story has "concluded" multiple times, with each film drawing the world to a definite close. The ending of Toy Story 3 was SUCH a deliberate farewell to the series that it's hard for me to care about this story at all, really. The story already concluded. This is why I've mostly sworn off franchises -- I only watched this for a very specific project for which I need to complete the series. It's not a BAD movie, it's just mostly a non-entity. It's so busy cramming the movie with new characters that it woefully underutilizes the rich cast of characters it already has, which is a problem the series has had before, but which REALLY works against it here. My overwhelming takeaway is that they decided they had to continue the series and undermine the finality of Toy Story 3... for this?
