we want to thank the movie going audience so much especially those that grew up with Toy Story um we hope that your adventures with Woody and Buzz made growing up a little bit easier please please remember this for later I've made it no secret that I absolutely despise Toy Story 4 with the burning intensity of a thousand Supernova explosions I've mentioned it in what is probably a cumulative of hundreds of Let's Play videos at this point be it as an offhanded comment or as a mini rant promising to one day make a video elaborating on that position ever since I ripped Danganronpa 3 a new one and now the time has finally come Toy Story 4 is a colossal failure from almost every aspect of Storytelling the plot is less cohesive than swiss cheese the characters are all shells of their former selves and that's putting it very lightly in some instances the consistency of the cause and effect is equivalent to that of a game of Bunko where characters either get insanely lucky or insanely unlucky depending on whatever the plot requires and there is irreparable damage dealt to the World building of the Toy Story Universe accomplished with nothing more than a frenetic and core bandic eating utensil this film would be in tatters even if it existed solely in vacuum with no connection to any of the pre-existing material but sadly it doesn't it doesn't just exist in a vacuum it is the fourth and final entry and one of the most beloved animated film series of all time and what it does to its predecessors is utterly unforgivable it's indefensible this movie has mercilessly you might even say maliciously annihilated every single substantive aspect of the original Three movies every character Rock every story beat every lasting message everything that was at the Beating Heart and Soul of that trilogy was doused in gasoline lit on fire and then promptly nuked by this complete and utter Trainwreck of a film written and directed by a man who claims to love Toy Story with all his heart and who hides behind that thinly veiled guise of adoration and every single interview in the fruits of his efforts couldn't possibly serve as a more blatant contradiction to that idea if he was trying oh are you wondering what I mean by all that wondering how I could possibly speak ill of a Pixar movie especially when it has been nominated for and subsequently won an Oscar for being the best animated feature and received almost unanimous positive praise across the internet as if that means anything at all well if you find yourself faced with those questions if you watch this movie and genuinely believed it to be a masterpiece that's the perfect conclusion to the Toy Story series or even if you just believe that it's not that bad of a movie then buckle up everyone I'll take you on a journey through the world of Toy Story 4 covering every last thing that this film destroyed from plot to characters to World building to themes and messaging with timestamps in the description so I'm posting each subject for your viewing convenience so then without further Ado I invite you to sit back and relax as I finally tear this pile of rancid sewage just shreds with the same fervor and passionate hatred that the writers had when they wiped out the original trilogy let's get this wagon trainer moving I am pleased to now present you the Complete Edition of how Toy Story 4 just destroyed everything enjoy the show we begin with the opening logo present in front of every Walt Disney animated Studios feature film since Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest why are we starting here instead of just giving straight to the opening prologue you may ask well because it's not the logo itself that I'm interested in here it's the music does this sound familiar to any of you no well it certainly should yup the track that plays on Woody first arrives at Al's apartment is exactly the same as the track that opens up Toy Story 4. but why does that matter you may ask why bother talking about the opening musical track of the movie it's just supposed to be an easily identifiable Toy Story tune to quickly pull you back into this world no harm no foul hey you know what maybe you're right maybe I'm looking too far into things maybe we should just let this one go and enjoy the movie Let's just enjoy the movie shall we though you may still want to keep this topic in mind on the offense it comes back up again later not that that would ever happen hi my name is Josh Cooley I am the director of Toy Story 4 and I am Mark Nielsen producer on Toy Story 4. hi Mark hey there Josh would you like to go see a film I hear Toy Story 4 is in theater I hope we can get tickets oh yeah by the way I'll also be referencing the director commentary track occasionally throughout this video director Josh Cooley and producer Mark Nielsen will be popping up every now and again whenever they have something particularly interesting to say and I think you'll find some of their commentary to be quite enlightening the film properly opens on a dark and stormy night nine years ago but why nine years ago well the reason why they've chosen to create a nine year time gap between this flashback and the events of Toy Story 4 is because in the real world it had been nine years between the releases of Toy Story 3 and 4. so the audience is supposed to see this text and think ah I see that makes sense based on meta knowledge of the film's release dates except that this scene takes place in Andy's house from Toy Story 2 when he's still a kid when in Toy Story 3 he was already 17 years old ready to go off to college meaning that despite what the deceptive flashback text is trying to get you to think about this is not referring to the in Real Life Time gap of 9 years it is instead referring to the in-universe time gap of nine years between an unspecified time after Toy Story 2 and the main events of Toy Story 4. which appears to be totally fine on the surface of things I just hope we don't come across anything later that when considered in conjunction with this information makes the entire Crux of this film's ending harder to swallow than an ostrich egg anyway on this dark and stormy night Andy comes bursting back into his room carrying several of his toys in his arms having just run back inside after playing out in the rain he then runs off to go wash his hands for dinner and leads the toys back in his bedroom but all is not well as we soon discovered that in his Mad Dash to get back inside he missed a toy RC is out amidst the storm struggling for survival I don't know how the hell Andy could have possibly missed the largest toy out of this group as well as the one whose mechanics would be most endangered by a rainstorm as a motorized remote control car but whatever wait why was he even playing out in the driveway in the first place when he has a giant backyard playing oh is it so he can have a more stable service to drive RC around on because if that's the case and he has even less of an excuse to not have brought RC back into the house since he would have been the sole reason that he would have gone outside in the first place wait a minute where's RC's remote he's not holding it in his hands when he comes running into the room did you go outside and play with RC without the literal remote you need to have in order to control RC what whatever okay so what he immediately leads into action since he never leaves the toy behind and someone's buzzed Jesse and Slinky to come within the Molly's room upon entering Woody takes a solid 10 seconds to stand around staring mindlessly at the light projections from both Pete's slime despite the fact that RC is literally fighting for his life outside right now I sure hope these precious seconds don't make things way harder for you than they otherwise would have been turns out the reason why we had a staring contest with the floor for 10 seconds was because we had to wait for Molly to Prince our way out of the room despite the fact that Andy's mom called her kids down for dinner nearly half a minute ago at this point and we don't see anything over in this side of the room that would have been keeping her busy so what the heck took her so long moving on what do you waste even more time slinking around the corner despite the fact that he now knows the exact locations of all three family members as he watched both kids run down the stairs to the dinner table and her the mom call him from downstairs before finally sprinting across Molly's room has become face to face with Bo Peep uh guys do you remember her outfit from the first two movies because there wasn't this I can tell you that much it may appear to be the same on a superficial level she still has her iconic crook that got pixel put on Peter's watch list she has her classic Bonnet and she has her classic dress except here's the thing that's not her dress go back and watch the first two movies her dress is a rigid object that does not react to movement the way a human's dress would due to the nature of her design yes it still flows With the Wind somewhat but it doesn't drift back towards her body like a normal dress it remains in this rigid umbrella style shape as if there's a wireframe inside permanently holding it up it's most obvious in this shot from Toy Story 2 where she is literally dangling in mid-air yet the dress remains perfectly rigid and doesn't shift even a little bit with gravity but that's not all it is very clear in the original movies that her walking abilities are heavily impaired because she's not supposed to be a child to play thing she's not supposed to be an action figure she's supposed to be a lamp a porcelain lamp accessory that isn't meant to be handled by children which is why she's always shown to be wobbling around instead of the more natural walking animations that are gifted to the other characters now you may be thinking okay so they applied a new physics engine to her clothing what's the big deal here well the thing is it's not just her appearance that's changed in this one scene alone Bo Peep demonstrates more initiative gumption and leadership in a matter of seconds than it was ever shown in the first two movies commanding the other toys around Molly's room with the same caliber that Woody did mere moments ago in Andy's room and to put it simply this is not the Bo Peep that we knew they're not even kind of comparable they may wear the same clothing although as we just established technically that's not even true but they are not the same person Bo Peep from the first two movies was always the one that got left behind in the room while the other toys went off and had their Adventures the most we ever saw her do was relay the fact that buzz was still alive and then tell the Incredible Hulk here to lower the ramp beyond that her character essentially just boiled down to being Woody's love interest so to see her act the way she does her isn't just drawing it straight up inconsistent and just so we are perfectly clear about this there is absolutely nothing wrong on a conceptual level with making Bo Peep into a more headstrong character because to be frank with the exception of this one scene from the first movie if you cut her out of the Toy Story series entirely you really wouldn't have missed anything prior to Toy Story 4 because she has no impact on anything major and isn't even present in Toy Story 3. the idea of taking a character from the original trilogy who received zero development and whose role amounted to nothing more then be Woody's love interest is a fantastic premise and since the story of this movie is going to be about reuniting with Bo Peep years after she left her original family of toys having been on her own for so long it makes perfect sense for her to demonstrate more resourcefulness when it's just her against the universe and so that evolution of her character follows logically conceptually but it doesn't make any sense for her to be demonstrating that same personality here because it is directly contradicted to her behavior in the first two movies it would have made far more sense if she had been more in line with how she was originally and then later in the movie when we see her again after years of being a lost toy we can see how much he's grown and changed having to adapt her surroundings so then you may be asking yourself why did they go out of their way to change so much about her in the prologue of this movie when we have evidence clearly highlighting the contradictory Behavior and the answer is a little something called gaslighting for those of you who don't know gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation most often highlighted in abusive relationships where someone attempts to get you to question your memory and beliefs it's a lot more complex in the layer than I could possibly cover right now so if you want to learn more about the topic I have linked some articles in the description that go into former detail than all touch on here but the basic premise is simple enough for our analysis today being deliberately or unintentionally manipulative by causing someone to doubt their own perceptions and memories and that is exactly what's being done here we have unfalsifiable receipts proving definitively that Bo Peep is acting completely incongruent with how she's been previously established and that her outfit has been radically changed but they show you this character with the same general appearance and a location we're familiar with her being in during a time period when the earliest moments in the series are set because the writers are trying to Gaslight you into believing that Bo Peep was always like this they're afraid that people won't buy into the shift in their personality by default and the action scenes that they want to take place will never work if Bo Peep has to waddle around like she did previously so they have to rewrite the history of the material and physics of her dress but since they can't just straight up rewrite history they did the next best thing and wrote a scene taking place in the time between Toy Story 2 and 3 and having her act the way that they ultimately want her to so that they can Gaslight you into doubt in your memory of the original movies they want you to think well she really always like this I mean it has been two decades I've seen The Originals maybe my memory is really starting to slip it's downright deceptive and manipulative and a desperate attempt to get the rest of their story to function as they hope and pray that their audience's memory is so pathetic that they won't question it and just move right along with the rest of the film but hey don't take my word for it take theirs and Bo didn't have a lot of screen time in the earlier films and we didn't even see her at all in three we knew it was important to set up who she is what she looks like the very two things that are undeniably different from her presence in the first two movies how very interesting okay back to the plot RC is about to commit the big die and the toys need to save him so what ingenious pun are they going to implement to save the day I'm not sure let's find out the first step is to order the Sheep whose names are apparently billy goat and Gruff despite this somehow having never come up at all Pride at this point to raise the blinds question why why did you need the Sheep to raise the blinds the core is literally right there why can't you just raise it yourself they have names you never told me that you never asked oh get out of here with this nonsense no way in the world Woody would not know the name of Bo Peep's sheep how could that information have never come up at all like I don't know maybe when she needed to command her sheep to stop wrestling with Rex's controller all she had to do was whistle to get them to back off but that seemed like a pretty good time for her to call out their names no way you show Woody and Bo pulling off this intricate plane with perfect execution and teamwork while simultaneously trying to get me to believe that he doesn't know the name of her Sheep No Way Beau never called out their names at any point in the past decade that she was in this house with the other toys no way you have a shot literally seconds after this where Woody and Bo's minds are so Instinct that they both simultaneously say operation pool tour meaning that these two not only have a catalog of operations already thought out ahead of time for a variety of situations should a toy ever be in trouble but that they were able to both immediately and simultaneously come to the conclusion of operation pool tour and yet Woody doesn't know the name of her sheep gee it's almost as if they never had names prior to this point and the writer just invented them to make Woody seem like he doesn't care about them later on in this movie or something stupid like that so then operate pole toy begins proper Slinky and list for Duty and then Beau turns to the Barbie dolls and gets them in a position for what it can only describe as the most pointless Ruben Goldberg machine in history I'm gonna run you through the logistics of how this all goes down and then we'll sit down and have a chat about it first the Barbie dolls perform gymnastics to get on top of the dresser then Nest picks up an armadillo as the descending Divas past a book entitled the very unique unicorn over their heads and onto the Shelf Ness tosses the armadillo into position directly underneath the book so maybe it's a falcon for a newly formed seesaw Jesse stands on one side as the load and then the three Barbies jump in perfect Unison onto the opposite side as the effort force thus successfully launching Jesse up to the latch on the window allowing the other toys to open it up fully now this sequence looks pretty cool when you watch it for the first time but then you actually think about it for five seconds and you realize that's all completely pointless the end objective of this plan is to open up the witness so the toys can get outside and Rescue RC without the human seeing them so why don't you just stack Jesse on top of Buzz and then unlock the window they plan to do that exact thing in Toy Story of tarot when they were all stuck in the glass cabinet Jesse was gonna rescue Woodies but two of them could stack on top of each other and turn the handle the free the toys it is the easiest solution to this problem that could be achieved within seconds but for some stupid reason you have to get literally every single toy in this room involved in this insane plan to open the window why why have your device such a convoluted plan when they are infinitely easier options available to you you realize this is a joke right like an actual joke that other shows use to make you laugh there must be some trick to opening this case a latch or somebody to Twisted her or we could hit it with a rock yeah that works seriously what was the point of any of this all you had to do was just form a toy ladder and unlock the latch we see you do that exact thing later in this movie every second counts when RC is fighting to stay alive why are you choosing the most complicated way to do things and wait a minute Molly has three Barbie dolls in this movie but by the time I get a Toy Story 3 we're down to just one so when Molly shifted into angsty teen mode when she was too old for toys anymore she apparently decided that having three Barbies was no longer cool but just one Barbie now that's classy seriously you expect me to believe that the angsty teen who's too cool for toys took the time that only donate or throw away two Barbies but not this one previously we were left to assume that Molly simply forgot about her because she was tucked away behind a xylophone but now thanks to this stupid movie we know that she had to consciously choose to only get rid of two Barbies but still hold on to one of them which is absurd thanks Toy Story 4. we're only two minutes into this movie and you've already punched a hole in Toy Story 3. awesome I certainly hope this doesn't become a pattern through the rest of this film uh whatever the window is now open and it's time to jump right into the action and Rescue RC since he is literally struggling for survival in every second count nope Woody and Bo we're gonna take a solid six seconds to just stare into each other's eyes I don't what the what what are you doing RC is about to be swept away and lost to the storm forever what are you doing right now why are you just sitting around twiddling your thumbs every second counts while he is still out there in the storm why are buzz and Jesse not yelling and Woody to get off his Ragdoll rear end and do something what is happening in the scene does anybody actually care about RC or do you just want to take the extra second to show off the rain dripping from the freshly opened winner to Fletcher graphical Fidelity some more G I sure hope these precious seconds don't make things way harder for you than they otherwise would have been so then Woody finally jumps out the window and [Music] huh would you look at that the same music that played during the climax of Toy Story 2. no no I'm sure it's nothing on with the film The Plot is what matters and I gotta be honest it's doing great so far I mean just look at this gorgeous rain as it collides against the driveway wait wait wait driveway there's a driveway in the left side of the house why why driveway on the left side of the house did not exist just to not be more blatantly obvious how did you think you were gonna get away with this what are you gonna try to tell me that they built a new driveway after Toy Story 2. yeah that'd be great if there weren't clear shots in Toy Story 3 that demonstrated quite explicitly that this driveway didn't even exist when Andy was 17 years old meaning that the only way this makes any sense at all is if they pave this driveway between movies and then scraped it up before Toy Story 3 happened despite the fact that during the time period this flashback takes place in this family only has one car and that would be kept in the garage since Andy still isn't old enough to drive at this point and it makes no sense to take away extra space before you add a second car to Your Arsenal or in other words the excuse that they may have built a new driver between films doesn't work are you telling me you forgot the geography of Andy's house you forgot the basic geography of Andy's house how did that happen this is all digital it's all 3D models stored on your computer just go back and look at the old movies look at your old scene files how do you screw up this badly or are you telling me that you are actually fully cognizant of the geographical discrepancy and you just try to a gas like the audience Again by tricking them into believing this driver was always here sure would be awkward if that were the case but whether the writers are stupid or malicious with their intentions here this contradiction is still a problem either way you're welcome to take your pick so Bo Peep grab slinky's butt and what he holds onto his head as the two work together to try to save RC before he's felt away forever but even by stretching Slinky out as far as he can go and by extending Woody's reached by cleverly pulling out a string for sling to grab onto RC is just barely Out Of Reach meaning his Fate has been sealing he's about to be swept away into the storm drain and lost to Pennywise forever yeah it's almost like you shouldn't have been wasting time out wobbling around like a confused penguin and choosing the slowest possible plans for accomplishing your tasks and staring into both eyes like a starving puppy dog while your friend was being so on the way to his death wait a minute why did Buzz even need to be here why did Woody bother bringing him along he hasn't done anything since they got to Molly's room except asks how do we reach him he's just standing there like a useless cabbage Jesse's holding the flashlight and both holding on to Slinky but Buzz isn't doing squat wait how did Woody even know to call Slinky to Molly's room if he didn't decide an operation pull toy until well after he got there sure it's convenient that she brought him along or else that had been even more time that you wasted going back across the hall to get slinky oh whatever RC's gone anyway what does it matter but wait it's not over yet it's just when Woody thinks All Is Lost he suddenly sprung for the exact distance he needed to be sprung in order to grab hold of RC and it is revealed that's because Bo attached that that chain of monkeys to slinky's tail what the what this just doesn't how did you what all right look you might think it's insane to get this hung up over the chain of monkeys but RC's survival literally depends on the functionality of this chain if this chain of monkeys weren't used in the scene he'd have been swept away and lost forever it is imperative that this plan runs logically and without any exaggeration there are approximately five different reasons why this whole scene has just Fallen apart of the seams it was already barely hanging on but this just pushed it over the edge so let's take each problem one by one first of all there is absolutely no way that they could have possibly assembled the monkeys in time aside from the fact that we don't see the barrel the monkeys would have had to come out of anywhere in the room when they first enter it and aside from the fact that we don't even see the barrel anywhere near the dresser after operation pull toy successfully completed the barrel of monkeys was always Andy's toy he was always the one who actually played with them I mean that the barrel would be in Andy's room meaning that what would have had to occur in the literal three seconds between Beau gasping in fear and Woody's springing forward is that one of the toys ran all the way back across the hall dug around Andy's room to find the barrel of monkeys and then ran all the way back to Molly's room just to assemble the chain there's no way that could have possibly happened this movie is full of baloney second even if we assume that this is a different barrel of monkey so that Andy got bored of playing with him and gave them to Molly heck even if we give him maximum benefit of the doubt and assume that the bearer was somehow close enough to them despite being nowhere in this shot that they were able to almost immediately submit it to their position and pour all the monkeys out of the barrel they still only had three seconds to assemble approximately 30 monkeys into a chain if you don't think this is utterly ridiculous and by all means prove me wrong go get a pair of monkeys jump them out onto the floor and see if you can assemble 30 of them into a chain in three seconds all by yourself let me save you the trouble you can't you can't do that there's no way the clock will have run out before you can even assemble a third of these things and if you can assemble this chain in that amount of time then you might want to contact the Avengers I hear they've recently had a position become available for the Quicksilver replacement and before you try to tell me that there could have been more than one person assembling the chain look at who's available to help in this scene Jesse is holding the flashlight on Woody and since the light never flickers we know she couldn't have been helping to assemble it Bo also could not have been helping since if she stops fondling slinky's butt for even a single second the plane is ruined and all three tours are lost to the storm forever the armadillo wasn't gonna do diddly Squad given its Anatomy the Sheep are stuck on the floor Ness is over on the bed and if The Barbers helped assemble the chain they would be up on the dresser with everyone else since they would have had to be right next to slingy to help attach it when they finished meaning the only toy here that would be even remotely capable of stringing this together would be buzz but in spite of how competent and capable he has been throughout the original trilogy he's not Dash he can't do a guido pit stop and assemble this thing in three seconds this movie is full of baloney third even if we give the very very generous assumption that the monkey psionically knew that their presence in the scene would single-handedly save RC's life and self-assemble themselves into a chain so that all Buzz would have had to do was attach it to Slinky how would they have ever had the room to do this hooking the last monkey in the chain would be easy enough because you just have to get it over the top of this dresser while the rest of them could dangle down ready to be flung out the window but Bo's crook is hooked onto the very back of the chain meaning that she somehow made her way all the way to the back of the chain to grab hold of it but again she can't lose hold of Slinky or else the plan fails and there isn't enough room on this desk for this extensive chain to fit especially since these things don't wrap around each other very neatly meaning you couldn't call him around on the desk without risking Breaking the Chain or getting them all tangled up so there was absolutely no way they had enough room to make the switch this movie is full of baloney fourth even if we assume that they figured out some magic way to fit this thing on the desk without breaking the chain how the hell did Bo have enough strength to hold on to this chain the film makes this seem like an incredibly fluid transition but really think about the implications here think about what would have had to occur for this stunt to work Slinky Dog is a spring toy when you extend a slinky mechanical energy is stored up within the coiled due to the resistance against the force of you pulling apart the coils and when you let go of the slinky what happens again oh yeah it goes flying in the opposite direction because the mechanical energy that you just stored up is now released from the spring and it snaps back to its compressed State now with all that in mind think about it in the context of this scene in order to create this extension Bo has to attach the monkeys hook her crook onto the last monkey in the chain and then push slinky's rear end out the window so Woody can get the extra reaching needs in order to grab onto RC since Slinky wouldn't know that he has to move his butt forward when his head is all the way out here and he can't communicate with the people in the window Slinky is being stretched out as far as he can possibly go without any extra forces at play and do you remember what happened the last time we were in a situation like this [Music] the instant Bowl let's go Slinky nutted him out the window the mechanical energy that was stored in his coils is going to be instantly released as his rear end races to reunite with his front both flimsy little stick would have been ripped right out of her hands and been sent flying across the yard if she's lucky worst case scenario is her whole body is yanked out the window and she falls to her death and is smashed into a million tiny pieces since she is an incredibly fragile porcelain doll this movie is full of baloney fifth even if we throw any and all logic completely out the window and assume that Bo is actually strong enough to resist this spring and remain firmly planted in the window cell Woody should have been flung way further than he actually was we don't exactly have the means to measure the exact distance between these two points but if you were going to tell me with a straight face at this distance is in any way equivalent to this distance then please excuse me while I cackle uncontrollably Woody should have been whipped right past RCA and into the flower bed or in other words this movie is completely full of baloney but believe it or not we're not done with the stupidity just yet because now that Woody is safely secured RC he needs to get him back into the house how is he going to accomplish that task you may ask well he doesn't have much time to think because the surprise car pulls up to the house out of nowhere and so Bo pulls back the chain of monkeys causing Woody and RC to crash against the side of the house and wait wait wait what how how did you do that did you inject steroids into your porcelain veins between Toy Story 2 and now how are you this strong how are you able to pull Slinky Woody the entire chain of monkeys and the single heaviest toy Andy owns all the way back towards the house even if you are somehow strong enough to yank a motorized vehicle towards you how did you mechanically pull this off without sending yourself flying backwards off the shove and plumbing into your death even if you do have the strength to pull this off that means you pulled back so hard that the monkeys would have to be sent flying back into Molly's room and since the DOI is directly behind you I wouldn't be surprised if even some of them made it into the hallway the film wants you to think the monkeys just disappeared into thinner after bull pulled the chain backwards but that's not how anything works the monkeys must have fallen behind her when she pulled everyone out of the driveway so how in the world did nobody hear them clattering against the floor if it were just one monkey that'd be one thing but there's about 30 of these things Linked In This chain if you dumped out a barrel of 30 monkeys onto a tiled floor you can bet that it's going to make a very loud noise that there's no way at least one person at the dinner table downstairs wouldn't hear or at the very least they definitely see the monkeys scattered all over the place in the very next scene when they walk into the room unless of course they just teleported out of the scene where did they go where are all the monkeys where did their Barrel go wait wait a minute you pulled the chain back far enough to lose all the monkeys but just short enough so that slinky's but would land exactly on the Windows of where it was previously what the f what what is happening right now what is the scene none of this makes any sense who wrote this but nonetheless the worst of it is finally over RC has been successfully retrieved and so now all the toys have to do is pull up slinky's coral and get everyone back inside the house wait how the heck did Woody get RC back inside when he was holding onto him from above of do you people understand how heavy this toy is whatever it's fine so whatever okay operation pool toys over let's just get back inside the house and hope this movie's plot can return to a sense of normalcy ah I can't get like a one minute break we're only three minutes into this stupid movie and there's barely been a single second that wasn't broken in some capacity okay so while Bo was giving Woody the fourth boy eyes this joke will make sense later I promise Andy's mom walled into the room with a visitor who showed up unexpectedly during operation pull toy and turns on the light switch probably shutting the window on Woody moments later how did Andy's mom not see Bo peering her head out the window when she turned the light on how did she not see Buzz or Jesse standing next to her why were none of the toys keeping watch in case someone stuck up on them like this how did they hear Andy's mom or the visitor walking up the steps how do they not notice their presents until this very moment did they not talk to each other at all until they actually got to Molly's room and if you are going to try to tell me oh well the window is open so the footsteps would have been drowned out by the rain so I'm outside then I will simply invert the audio problem and this time we'll try it from the other end if you believe that the rainstone would have been so loud outside that they would not have been able to hear the humans walking upstairs then why in the world did nobody notice the sudden change in audio levels when the toys opened the window and go upstairs from the dinner table to see what was going on either the storm is loud enough to mass the sound of in footsteps meaning the family should have noticed something was wrong and gone downstairs and shut it earlier or it's quiet enough for them not to notice meaning that the toys should have been able to hear the footsteps this doesn't work no matter how you slice it actually wait a minute how doesn't Andy's mom find it at all odd that the windows open anyway she just walks into the room and casually shuts the windows if it's a totally normal occurrence but this doesn't make any sense Molly literally isn't tall enough to reach this window and even if she was or she used something else as a stepping soul to reach it what motivation does she think Molly would have even had to open it in the first place Molly's right there why didn't you ask why the window was open during a rainstorm if I were her and I walked into my daughter's room and saw the window wide open and this ravenous Stone the first thing I'd ask is why in the world is your window open and then when she tells me that she didn't open it up it would prompt some Curiosities to how exactly it got opened which leads me to my next Point Andy's mom closes the window on slinky's coil half of his body is still dangling outside in the storm while his rear end just sits on the window so she acts as if this is totally normal how does she not see his butt how did she not feel compelled to glance outside the window to see what was going on with his other half how does this window even close properly at all when there would still be a part of slinky's coil preventing it from shutting all the way my point here is that there are way too many problems with this window situation for her to not stop and wonder what in the world is happening in this room and the fact that the toys weren't caught when Bo was fully alive and moving around in full view of the doorway is absolutely absurd who wrote this silly string script moving on it turns out that the visitor is only briefly stopping by to pick up Bo Peep as Molly says that she doesn't need it anymore and wishes to donate it to this man question why did they schedule this lamp donation meeting for dinner time and his mom must know when the family's gonna eat dinner why would she schedule it so close to this time was there no better point in the day for her to do this and if they're already finished eating then good lore that was the fastest meal in the west also his mom only grabs Bo Peep in the lamp but not the Sheep which are presumably still down on the floor and walks off without them and yet they still show up in the Box moments later awesome I guess the sheep can teleport now why not throw out for everyone leaves Buzz pulls the rest of Slinky back up into the room and then notices that Woody's mysteriously not holding on a slinky anymore yet despite the fact that Slinky would obviously know where woody went since he would have had to drop past his head to leave he chooses not to tell buzzes and instead looks around with concern along with the others like a confused pigeon but this is whatever I guess the man takes the box back to his car but then makes the unfortunate discovery that he can't put it in his trunk because he doesn't have his keys what how how did you lose your keys you were in that house for two minutes at most and even that is a very generous assumption to make when it took less than a minute of screen time for you to leave your car get the box and then return to your car why did you take your keys out of your pockets for a visit that took no more than a minute or two how did you lose your keys and before you say baby they fell out to that I say no his first instance when trying to get his keys is to reach for his pockets meaning that that is where they would ordinarily be and keys do not fall out of these Pockets unless there's a hole in them so we would have had to voluntarily take them out of his pocket and leave them on a table somewhere in the house and the kids and their mom would have either had to be cunning enough or inattentive enough to not tell the man about the keys he left on their table neither of which would even their personalities that were established in the original movies and if you think it's ridiculous for me to be spending this much time talking about this then I cannot understand enough that him losing his keys is what allows this box scene to happen a scene that is absolutely critical for the story is only able to occur due to the insane idea that this man lost his keys out of his Gene pocket after being in a house for two minutes or less who wrote this anyway Woody stealthily pulls the box underneath the car and opens it up urging both people to follow him back inside before the keyless Wonder comes back to take her away but to his absolute bewildement and the utter shock of the audience Bo says Nah one of these understandably gobsmacked by this turn of events and attempts to appeal to the fact that her saying is what would be best for Annie but she responds by saying I'm not Andy's toy which is a very strange thing to say considering how often we've seen Andy play with her in the past so whether she technically belongs to Molly or Annie doesn't really matter at all but even if this weren't the case even if we say that Andy never played with her at all the next words out of her mouth are even more baffling it's what it's for the next kid you're perfectly willing to just leave just like that you don't even want to say goodbye to your friends do not care about them at all Buzz Jesse the other toys in Molly's room who appear to release have some level of respect for you since you were able to effortlessly command them as their leader nobody you just decided that the day you got put in a box was the day you were gonna proceed to stop giving a slinky's behind about your friends and if you want to say well she only really cared about Woody which obviously isn't true based on what happens later in this film so it makes total sense that she only want to say goodbye to him the only reason she had this goodbye scene with Woody is because Woody dropped down to desperately try to get her to stay had he been pulled back up into the room Bo would have been perfectly content to leave Andy's house Forever Without Even so much as saying goodbye to the friend she spent her entire life with him until this point also I think it's worth noting that I find the director's commentary for this scene very interesting I had to make sure that every single moment every single Link in hail was for a reason while reading kind of a cross from one shot to the next yeah so in this scene we got Tom Hanks and Annie Potts together and we actually recorded them the same time facing each other and delivering these lines having them experience that kind of breakup in the room together and work through it would be more effective all they're talking about is the work that went into the voice acting and visual presentation of the scene in fact now that I think about it they actually had a similar diary about this stuff earlier yeah the effects Department worked really close with the lighting department on the look of this rain exaggerate the shape of the drops and to really kind of feel the scale of this rain for a toy it's all focused on the visual Splendor interesting I wonder if I'm highlighting this for a wider point I'm going to be making later well if I am then you might want to remember this just in case but we're gonna have to table this discussion for a while because something of monumental stupidity is about to occur so Beau temps Woody not a great way to start the sentence but whatever by saying that kids lose their toys every day sometimes they get left in the yard or put in the wrong box meaning that she wants Woody to come with her and her sheep take a few steps back to further drive that idea into your head because apparently the writers didn't think the audience would pick up on what they were insinuating by both word choice alone then and I kid you not woody puts his hands on the box and starts to climb in with Bo he wants to leave Andy's house with Bo Peep what what do you mean he wants to leave Andy's house with both freaking peep I am not lying to you right now this actually happens in the movie what he considers abandoning his friends and his kid to be with Bo Peep absolutely not buzz off you stupid movie I I don't even know what to begin with this one okay let's start with the other toys do you remember this scene from the end of Toy Story 2. when it all ends I'll have old Buzz Lightyear to keep me company for infinity and beyond yeah well apparently that meant approximately diddly do because he was about to go to bed and Buzz Jesse slink Rex ham The Potato Heads Bullseye and just one more time for good measure Buzz Lightyear he was gonna leave his best friend the Space Ranger he promised to be with for infinity and beyond all because Woody finally lived up to his namesake when he saw Bo make room for him to come inside get out of here with that garbage you absolute hack writers but that's not even mentioning the fact that Woody was about to abandon Andy his favorite toy his Cowboy doll the only toy in his collection that he instinctively hesitated to give away to Bonnie at the end of Toy Story 3. Woody was gonna leave him behind and to be perfectly blunt there is no timeline where woody would have ever ever in a million years chosen to leave Andy for literally any reason the reason he was willing to go with Bonnie at the end of Toy Story 3 since remember Andy's plan was to bring him to college but it was ultimately Woody who snuck inside the box with all the other toys woody accepted that Andy was all grown up he was going off to college and was about to start a whole new life and gain a whole lot of new responsibilities Woody would have been better served in the care of Bonnie a girl who expressed the same a bullying joy that he used to see on Andy's face all those years ago and so he made the hard choice to say so long partner to the kid he spent 17 years with and watched him grow into the man he became ready to bring new memories to a kid who needed him even more but even then even then the one who made the final choice to pass on Woody was Andy if Andy had chosen to keep Woody with him in college then he would have gone with him but the final decision that lands Woody in the care of Bonnie is Andes he was passed on with Andy's blessing for Bonnie to take care of and that is the reason why Woody went with Bonnie at the end of Toy Story 3 because Andy chose to let Woody go at the same time Woody chose to let Andy go but at this stage in his life at a time when Andy is still getting an immeasurable amount of Joy playing with Woody at a time when Andy still needs him to be there for him at a time that takes place after the events of Toy Story 2 which was a movie that was all about Woody realizing that no matter how tempting an alternative may seem life's only worth living if you're being loved by a kid and that and I can't stop Andy from growing up but I wouldn't miss it for the world there is no chance in the world he would have ever gone into that box with Bo Peep And if you are screaming at me then but Woody still stays with any of the end of the day he doesn't actually go with Bo Peep then you did not pay attention to the scene the only reason Woody stays is because he sees Andy running out desperately calling his name looking for him had Andy not chosen to run out of this exact moment in time Woody would have abandoned his friends and his kid buzz off you stupid writers who wrote that what bird brand did you put in charge of the scene also why was Annie even running out of this time should he not have been at the dinner table there's absolutely no way they finished dinner in less than three minutes there's no way Annie would have run back upstairs to play with his toys in the less than 60 seconds it took his mom and sister to handle the lamp transaction not only does that not make any sense if he was going gonna do that then he would have done it as soon as they went up the stairs meaning we would have seen him running across the hall here and he should have noticed that Woody was gone a lot sooner and did he not notice that buzz and Jesse are also not in his bedroom also also can we talk about the implications of what he's playing here because this doesn't make any sense I know big shocker for this movie what was Woody's plan just get in the Box without saying goodbye to his friends because in that situation if you are any of these toys the first thing you're gonna think given the circumstances is oh no woody was lost in the storm when he dropped off Slinky quick we have to organize a rescue mission to go find him you know that thing that they did in Toy Story 2 his friends may have spent the rest of their lives going on a rescue mission for Woody that will never reach a resolution also also also this was a stupid plane that's in terms of its functionality in the first place this dude isn't Al mcwiggins yes that is his actual last name he's just your average guy living his life once he got home opened up the box and realized that Woody was in there he would have just returned him to Annie's house afterwards and then Woody would have gone back to the room looking like the biggest jerk on the planet for abandoning all his friends not thinking about the implications of doing stuff for five seconds and how do I know this man would have returned Woody well outside of the Baseline assumption that most human beings are actually quite nice I have references even though the transactions had already been set in motion and agreed upon ahead of time he still took the time to make doubly sure that Molly would have been fine with donating this lamp so if he found a toy with Andy's name written on it that he never received permission to take he would have immediately returned it to their house this plan is not only completely at odds with Woody's character as established by the original trilogy but it is fundamentally broken from a perspective of basic logic in that it would have never worked in the first place so let me ask again who wrote this above whatever when he comes to his senses of real estate that he would never ever ever in a million years for any reason at all voluntarily choose to abandon his kid as well as his friends he had a momentary Bloom of stupidity but it's all fine now his character is still intact and it's not in danger of being assassinated by anything else that's gonna happen later in this movie all is well and so he says goodbye to both people and he is desperately running around the yard trying to find him and the visitor takes bow away and then drives off wait where did Andy go he ran at the door into the yard second ago and now he's completely disappear from the scene he'll interragmatically reappear seconds later to retrieve what he just we've only been through five minutes of this movie and we're already almost 40 minutes into the video that is how much is broken already and with that the prologue is complete then good Lord Almighty what an absolute train wreck but hey it was just the opening scene made everything just got out to a rocky start let's let's try to enjoy the rest of the movie shall we we pan up into the rain clouds emerging into a bright blue sky with clouds that bear a striking resemblance to wait a minute you got a friend in me [Music] would you look at that the iconic You've Got a Friend in Me Again with Woody wiping away to reveal the logo against a bright blue background again how very interesting we wondered that nostalgic feeling of going back to the original Toy Story films and the only way you can do that is with Randy Newman's song once we put You've Got A Friend Of Me Up Against The visuals it brought you right back same here with this wipe that's the same way that we wipe on the title Toy Story in the first film gee I wonder if I'm highlighting this for a wider point I'm going to be making later no it's nothing on with the film so if you're watching Montage of Andy playing with Woody as we listen to iconic Randy Newman music in the background and oh my God oh my God what what is this what is this abomination of my screen because it sure as hell ain't Young And even the original trilogy that's for damn sure and before you tell me it's because technology is more advanced now of course he's going to look different as character models are more realistic over the years then all right I'll hear me you for a second let's take a look back at how the character model of Andy has evolved throughout the Series in 1995 modeling and animating fully 3D human characters wasn't something anyone would have dared to do except Pixar but while pulling off such a feat was groundbreaking at the time their strength was clearly an animating non-human characters as the Fidelity of these humans has certainly not aged well in the slightest naturally this led to a more updated character model on Toy Story 2 and then another update to the model on Toy Story 3 during the brief amount of time the young Andes on screen technology as well as Pico's experience with animating humans had evolved quite significantly in the four years between Toy Story 1 and 2 and even more so on the 11 years since two and three and yet in spite of their desires to update the models of account for ever evolving technological capabilities you can immediately look at all three of these models and recognize them as the same character the hardest pill to swallow in regards to that assertion is undoubtedly the first movie due to the sheer lack of detail here but there is still a clear and concentrated effort to make sure Andy is still instantly recognizable in spite of the upgrading details between each iteration of the character no such effort was present in Toy Story 4. they want you to believe that these two humans are the same Andy no absolutely not don't even try it was very clear that keeping the character design consistent was not at all priority for the team working on this movie then again maybe you could say that such a thing has never been a priority for them we were a little freaked out at first because we weren't planning on building a model of young Andy and one that would work in our world you know we made a lot of technological and artistic advances in the 11 years since Toy Story 2. now we can do humans pretty well so The Challenge on this movie was to make the humans look better but not have them feel like they were from a completely different movie A lot of people ask if we updated the models of the main characters in the movie we did actually but hopefully you won't notice it at all and we did a lot of things under the hood to make make the animation easier for the animators but it was very important to us that they not look different at all oh well what do you know it was something that they used to prioritize during the production process how about that oh are you wondering what that was that was the cine Explorer commentary for Toy Story 3 with director Lee uncrich and producer Darla K Anderson they may or may not also be popping up occasionally throughout this video for reasons I don't even understand how this possibly can get screwed up just take the character model that you absolutely still have on your files and drop them into the scene that's it how does this happen how do you get Bonnie to look exactly like she did in Toy Story 3 but not Andy all the other human character models including Andy's mom who is only on screen for a few seconds at most looked like higher quality versions of their former selves and yet young Andy got shaft into the process somehow I don't understand how you could possibly screw this up unless you deliberately wanted to change his character design but this time I genuinely have no clue why you would ever want to do that so let's just chalk this one out their shoe and confidence wrong with our lives the Montage continues with some admittedly impressive cinematography has cleverly Place transition to levels to progress through Woody's history from being played with by Andy to Buzz Lightyear and Jesse coming into the picture to being lovingly passed on to Bonnie in one single continuous shot concluding with a final camera angle focusing in on the underside of Woody's boot showcasing that Bonnie has written her name on it signifying the official passing of the torch from Annie to Bonnie wait wait wait what Bonnie wrote her name on Woody's boots you when when did that happen in the period of time between the end of Toy Story 3 and the start of Toy Story 4. Woody Buzz and Jesse go on many different Adventures under the care of Bonnie across a variety of short films and tv specials and during those specials you can very clearly see that Woody Buzz and Jesse all still have Andy's name written on the underside of their boots I'd always assume the reason why Bonnie never painted over with her name was because she won the respect that they had originally been Andy's toys that he passed on to her and never gave it a second thought but now we know that that's a truckload of horse manure because Bonnie eventually does write her name on not just Woody's boot but buzzes as well why didn't you wait so long to paint over Andy's name what's that because maybe she only recently started writing her name on the toys well no that's not true at all because we clearly see in Toy Story that time forgot that Trixie has Bonnie's name written on her and in this same holiday special we can see that Andy's toys still have Annie's name written on them and if you are going to tell me that this Minor Detail doesn't affect anything in the story that I'm going to tell you to hold on to that thought for now keep it very fresh in your brains to remember for later because for now it's entirely fair to make the assumption that Josh Cooley simply didn't watch any of the shorts or tv specials prior to creating Toy Story 4. except oh wait no it's not because he had a voice acting role in both the small fry short and the Toy Story of Terror Halloween special and showcases characters in this movie he were present in both the Halloween and Christmas specials and is fully cognizant of them as evidenced by the director commentary you just saw Woody hiding behind Bonnie's battle Source lunchbox that is a tribute to the TV special Toy Story That Time Forgot maybe he didn't pay attention to the script when he recorded those lines and just poached characters from them without thinking about what they previously did the thing is whether he forgot the events of the Toy Story Universe which is pathetic if true because he's the man in charge of continuing said universe or whether he deliberately chose to ignore them it doesn't really matter because either way for as insignificant as you may think this detail is for the moment the fact that he is clearly chosen to pretend that those specials don't exist for the sake of having this shot is going to utterly sink the end of this movie it's going to wreck it Beyond repair the fact that Bonnie consciously chose to keep Annie's name there until years after Toy Story 3 and until just before the events of Toy Story 4 is going to punch an enormous Hole In The credibility of this film's ending so please remember it for later and thus ends the Randy Newman Montage for Toy Story 4 in the movie is finally going to begin improper as we cut to a scene in which all the Bonnie's toys have been temporarily swept into the closet because Bonnie's Mom hardly cleaned the room absent-mindedly shoving all the toys in there we get a shot of all the toys getting anxious about being in the closet for a few minutes which which is extremely bizarre since they all spent years on a toy box never getting a play with what is whatever moving on among list of toys that are struggling with temporary Clause of life is Jesse who is hyperventilating due to her claustrophobia and so naturally being stuck in a tightly enclosed space is going to wait what is the sweet mother of Abraham Lincoln Jesse is hyperventilated because she's sitting in the closet oh my God how on God's green earth and you claim to love toys through with all your heart and then pull something stupid like this okay before I get into why this scene is so beyond frustrating let's set the scene for a broader issue in regards to characters shall we Woody Buzz and Jesse the three Heroes of the original trilogy their stories were the Beating Heart and Soul of those movies their arcs carry the emotional Spirit of the trilogy and their endearing personalities and values of what made them appeal to millions of people all around the world and Toy Story 4 is going to mercilessly assassinate all three of them not in a literal sense mind you when I say character assassination I am referring to the process by which a writer takes a previously established character and makes them act in ways that are completely contradictory to the values that they've upheld since their initial introduction essentially betraying who they are as people with no justifiable buildup whatsoever none of these characters are safe from this man's malice we are going to be keeping a very close eye in the structural Integrity of their character as we move throughout this video to see if any of them can even maintain one percent of who they used to be by the end of this train wreck but we are not out to a good start here folks because Jesse has already been dealt a significant amount of damage by just this one shot alone but why is this the case well allow me to explain from the first seconds that Jesse was introduced to the Silver Screen she was highly energetic and raring for adventure she has never not once ever shown any fear in the face of an adventure waiting to be had she was always extremely spirited sprightly and confident in her interactions with other people and was more than willing to dive head first into an adventure please remember that for later she Rebels on the confrontation with Woody actively egging him on when he challenges her looking no hoping for a fight when Buster needs to get outside Jesse immediately Springs interaction to help him out she leads the charge to break everyone out of their cells at Sunnyside trap Rogue buzz and safely escort everyone past the aggressive search beams onto the slide she confidently stands up to both the manic prospector and tyrannical Lotso when her back is pressed against the wall and doesn't even hesitate to LEAP onto the dumpster when Woody is pulled in by Lotso she is a strong confident cowgirl who shows no fear in the face of danger but even the bravest of adventurers aren't immune to their most crippling of phobias and in Jesse's case it's claustrophobia crippling mentally destructive claustrophobia that would completely paralyze her where she ever defined herself in a space that was even remotely enclosed because for many years what he was to Andy as Jesse was to Emily a kid that loved her cowgirl doll with all her heart as they did everything together Jesse couldn't possibly have been happier than when she was in the tender loving care of this girl but nothing built can last forever as one day as Emily started to grow up she began to move past her cowgirl phase she decorated her room with makeup supplies and memorabilia from pop musicians slowly moving more and more memories of her childhood under the bed destined to gather just for all of eternity and Jesse was left with no choice but to lie there day after day month after month year after year waiting for the day when Emily might remember her and come back for one last play time and for a moment it looks like she's going to get her chance as while trying to retrieve the items that Spilled Out of her purse Emily reaches under the bed and finds something that she had forgotten about for years Jesse the Cowgirl doll the toy that gave her childhood so much joy now staring eye to eye with a kid that gave her a life purpose and for one Blissful moment Jesse could relive those days they spent together dreaming of the future memories they could make only to be casually tossed into a donation pile without a second thought leaving Jesse behind once and for all giving her no choice but to sit in this cramped box and watch her whole world disappear over the horizon doomed to sit in this tiny space amidst a massive storage facility for the rest of her life forever replaying in her mind the days when somebody loved her this is what leads to her fear of enclosed spaces and you can see it throughout all her scenes the original trilogy when Alice seconds away from coming back into the room she only has to jump into a box filled with styrofoam for a few minutes at most before he leaves again but even that Prospect is too painful for her because it resurrects all those painful memories that have long since been pushed down to the pits of her mind and brings them all back up to the surface the cowgirl who mere moments ago was raring for adventure has now been frozen with fear and this is not something that can be conquered easily in Toy Story 3 Jesse starts hyperventilating at the mere thought of Andy abandoning her in the same way that Emily didn't actively says I can't breathe the second after the trash bag is sealed shut she may have found a new home with Woody and Buzz as her friends and Andy as her owner but no amount of familiar relationships can so easily Purge your trauma when you suffered in isolation darkness and claustrophobia for as many years as Jesse has done and all this buildup IS what makes Toy Story of Terror so incredibly powerful at first it starts off as just another normal day in Jesse's life confidently declaring that this can't be horror film the other toys are freaking out of her doesn't phase her in the slightest only to then be trapped in a tiny toolbox moments later as the walls start closing in on her she is still decades later having to suffer through her phobias even in spite of all the dangers she's fought her way past as shown in this toolbox scene and then again minutes later when she's left all alone in Bonnie's suitcase it's destroying her it's the one obstacle in her life that she's never been able to overcome as Emily and the abandonment she caused Jesse to endure keep resurfacing whenever the walls start closing in until the lives of her friends are at risk until Ron successfully steals every last one of Bonnie's toys ready to sell them on eBay until he seals Woody away in a package and ships him off to Al and until the only one in a position to rescue him is Jesse all her friends are trapped behind the glass Bonnie is outside with her mom observing the flat tire be fixed there's no one around to help save the day it all comes down to her she's Woody's only chance at getting back to Bonnie before he shipped back to Al's Toy Barn and the only way she can do it is to confront the only fear she's ever known to seal herself in a box and sneak onto the delivery truck to break him out from the inside but despite her bravery and facing her fears she immediately slips back into the Panic stage she had become so familiar with hyperventilating as she feels the Box grows smaller and smaller but she knows she can't let her phobia corrupt her anymore not when everyone she loves and cares about is depending on her not when she's the only chance they have at escape and so finally after two movies worth of build up she steadies her nerves even as she feels the walls closing in again she regains her composure long enough to find something she can use to escape the box and she slices the seal triumphantly kicking open the flaps of her box putting the clip in her mouth and donning her iconic cowgirl hat ready to bust Woody out of this truck she has finally overcome the one thing that was always holding her back the only thing that could paralyze The Adventurous cowgirl we all knew and loved and she stared it right in the face and told it to back off forever it is phenomenal it is the culmination of all her character work throughout this series and it pays off in the best way imaginable as now Jesse is no longer terrified of in close spaces like she once was only for Toy Story 4 or to come rampaging into the picture and completely destroy all of that Jesse's Journey meant nothing now it meant Absolute squat her harrowing character Arc that allowed her to finally confront her trauma head-on and kick it away forever has now been undone in a matter of seconds by this one shot and as a gentle reminder Josh Cooley voiced a character in the very same TV special when Jesse Roots the climax of her character journey and yet he still put this scene into the film and to be frank I don't really care whether he forgot this special or if he just maliciously chose to ignore it because either way the result is the same Jesse's entire character Arc was just crumpled up and thrown in the trash and it was all done with absolutely no care in the world thanks Josh Cooley you talentless hack but hey at least Jesse's adventurous personality hasn't been destroyed yet so you know we have to look forward to right anyway kicking on with the plot Dolly asked what if she needs to be worried about the mental well-being of Andy's toys while they're stuck in the closet which makes no sense at all first of all there's no way that in the year since Toy Story 3 this is the first time they've all been put in the closet so there shouldn't be a new situation for Dolly to react to secondly these toys spent years locked in a toy box without getting any play time at all managed to get through a completely unscathed and yet now Rex and Slinky are acting like it's the end of the world what then Buzz asked Woody about how he's feeling today in the most awkward way imaginable and I just I just listen to this dialogue how are you feeling about today uh good good I'm good good I I don't what who are you what did you do with the Woody and Buzz we watched in the original trilogy you two are not as emotionally constipated do you remember the scene from the first movie where the two of you had an emotionally harrowing Heart to Heart about the importance of being a toy and how much meaning your lives really have or how about the one where buzzed confidently and assertively confronted with it by calling back to that first major conversation they had at the gas station is would he declares his intentions to stay behind or when the two of them discuss what's best for their friendly of toys as they contemplate whether to stay together or split apart or when they can speak a million words for each other without ever even opening their mouths do you know who these characters are did you actually watch these films there is no way in the world you saw Woody and Buzz go through all their trials and tribulations and then came to the conclusion that this is how they speak to each other buzz off you stupid movie anyway while doggy shakes his booty to let everyone know that Bonnie's finished breakfast because apparently he has supersonic hero something I don't know moving on what he then tries to give everyone a pep talk to get them excited for play time but Dolly tells them to stuff him because she's a complete well the word I'm searching for I can't say because there's preschool toys I thought I'll let you use your imagination apparently I'm wanting everyone to get excited for playtime is a bad thing I don't I Bonnie opens the closet doors and assembles The Avengers consisting of Mayor Dali Banker ham ice cream man Slinky hatshop owner Trixie mailman buzzing wait a minute that's not the face Buzz makes when he's Frozen how hard is it to keep this stuff consistent and for the final member of her Pokemon team she picks up Woody takes off his sheriff's badge and then gives it to Jesse leaving him behind in the closet which is oh boy where do I begin first of all that badge does not come off that easily I had a Woody doll as a kid I know can you believe it and trust me this badge does not come off it can come off if you have the jaws of life on hand but a five-year-old child is not ripping this carefully sewn badge off Woody's vest that easily and if it is that easy to pull off then it should have fallen right off his vest in many other far more harrowing situations throughout this series second of all and far more importantly seriously Bonnie just pretends Woody doesn't exist do you remember this scene from Toy Story 3 do you remember all these other shorts and specials did you pay any attention to this series at all Bonnie's Overjoyed to be playing with Woody in those scenes and actively slips out of her happiness when Andy pulls Woody away from her out of her entire Arsenal he is always one of the toys she brings with him outside of one quick trip to Poultry Palace and small fry and yet magically now she's treating Woody like a pile of trash well actually she'd shoot a pile of trash much nicer than this so scratch that this is absolutely insane she never treated Woody like this in any of the prior installments in this franchise hell even within this movie we just saw a montage of Bonnie playing with Woody with the same enthusiasm that we once saw young Andy exit all those years ago what motivation could you possibly have had for doing this this idea just came from the truth which is my daughter has a Jessie doll and she loves it she also has a Woody doll she doesn't play with it as much I was thinking well that would happen oh I see so you're just an idiot got it you didn't write Bonnie based on you know Bonnie you wrote her based on your own daughter hey Bumble clown if you wanted to write a story with a young kid based on the attributes of your own daughter that's great in fact I'd even say it's quite sweet but write your own damn story if you want to do that don't infest a Prius to average character with your own garbage storytelling and turn her into someone she never was to see your moronic plot can get off the ground oh are you wondering what I mean by that well you see the main point of Woody's character in this movie is that he's feeling the big set because Bonnie isn't playing with him as much as he used to hey quick question does that sound familiar to you at all well if it does then please remember it for later because I'm not done with this topic yet anyway yeah that's what he's plotting this movie and it doesn't make any sense at all that's the third time you haven't been picked this week the third time this week that's it that's what you're still burning out of shape over that she hasn't been playing with you for a whopping three days three whole days compared against the Montage we just watched of her playing with you over the years or the years between movies that we saw portrayed in short films and tv specials during which Bonnie happily played with with you but three out of seven days of the week of stasis and suddenly you think she's losing interest in you what is this stupid script who wrote this and again I really really hope you remember this flater because it is going to become monumentally important the further into this film we get oh looky there you got your first Dust Bunny how literally how how did you get a Dust Bunny don't try to tell me it's because Woody's been sitting in the closet all week because we learned earlier that the only reason everyone's in this closet is because I thought I told you when Mom quickly cleans the bedroom like that expect to be put in the closet so what he has been in here for a few minutes at best and yet he's somehow already accumulated a Dust Bunny meanwhile all the other toys in the closet that have presumably been in here for years since we never saw him Pride at this point don't even have a single Dust Bunny also wait a minute who are these guys even supposed to be apparently they're toys that Bonnie played with as a toddler but has since outgrown what if she outgrew these toys then why in the world didn't she donate them to Sunnyside you know that daycare that her mom works at what's especially stupid about this is that the peas in a pot in Totoro are nowhere to be seen in this movie which aside from being insulting by itself due to the significance that Totoro has to the studio we decided really early on to put Totoro in the film as a nod to the friendship between Pixar and Studio Ghibli friendship between John Lasseter and Hayao Miyazaki they love us we love them we thought it would be fun to have a Totoro toy almost like the director has a problem with Studio Ghibli or something crazy like that aside from that this closet consists of every single toy Bonnie currently owns since their presence here is the aftermath of her mom cleaning out the room meaning that Bonnie either donated or threw away those two toys who she was playing with in Toy Story 3 and yet the toy she played with as a toddler are just sitting in her closet why well because a Bonnie donated them away then we wouldn't get to hear such iconic voices as Carol Burnett Mel Brooks Carl Reiner and Betty White that I guarantee most of you didn't even know voiced those characters until three seconds ago we got to work with some of the greats here the Mel Brooks are all Reiner Betty White Carol Burnett as the preschool toys such a privilege to work with these actors made such a massive impression on us be able to have that chance to record them and have their voices be part of this film was really special for us what's that a stupid plop one that's a lot of the function so the writer can Fanboy out of her legendary voice actors prioritizing superficial stuff over storytelling no not Josh Cooley never wait a minute why are you guys even talking anyway Bonnie's literally right there sound can still travel through the blinders you aren't soundproofing there what are you doing uh moving on Bonnie's dad comes into a room to tell they have to leave to go to kindergarten orientation yeah he has a voice who knew and she obviously doesn't want to go so she plays with her dad to be allowed to bring a toy with her to school but he says Nah because he's a jerk and so they leave the room empty-handed then everyone wakes up since the humans have left their immediate vicinity but Dolly has a yell at everyone because Bonnie always forgets something she'll be back any second no she doesn't she's never done that throughout every single scene that Bonnie's ever been in we have literally never seen her play with her toys leave the room and immediately run back into the room seconds later because she forgot something what are you talking about then Woody opens the closet doors and Buzz checks in to see if he's doing okay at which point Jesse gives Woody back his Sheriff's patch what what is happening right now if your concern is that you need to not touch or move anything because Bonnie will be back any second that she might notice that something is moved which doesn't make any sense because she's a kindergartener then why would you undo what Bonnie just did to Jesse that's like the most suspicious thing you could do on Sunday sprinting down the stairs straight to the other humans what was even the point of Dolly ordering everyone to freeze again when everyone including Dolly herself by the way just completely ignores that order as if it meant nothing who wrote this dialogue none of this makes any sense oh by the way speaking of dollars he's a total I can't say do you guys remember Dolly from Toy Story 3 how she was very welcoming and friendly to Woody when he first showed up in Bonnie's room how she was extremely considerate and willing to help Woody find out how to get back to Andy's house yeah if she was a little too pushy in some instances uh woody woody Really Gonna stick with that because now's your chance to change it new room and all coming from a doll named doll but she was still more than happy to help out Woody when he needed it and her first instinct was to welcome him to the room with open arms now I'll cut a Toy Story 4 well all of a sudden Woody can't you see I'm threatening everyone go back to the closet what what happened here what did you do to Dolly this is not the same character from Toy Story 3. she went from compassionate and accommodating to rude and condescending are you trying to make me hate all the old characters nah that couldn't be it couldn't be that you're trying to tear down all the old characters because we're about to meet some new ones that you want to like more surely and no the context behind this conversation does not help things at all it goes like this what he expresses genuine concern about how Bonnie is clearly visibly distraught about having to go to kindergarten for the first time especially without having a toy that she can rely on for emotional support should she feels scared at any point and Dolly's only recourse is to dismissively and aggressively shake her head as if Woody's idea is intrinsically awful without a second thought and to then tell him that Bonnie's not Andy so did you not see how Bonnie acted moments ago when her dad came into the room he's not making this up because of some attachment issue she's looking out for his kid your kid what are you talking about the closest you'll get to an actual decent rebuttal from her is when she says that didn't you hear dad you'll get Bonnie in trouble and even if we entertain for a moment that this rebuttal addresses what his concerns about Bonnie's happiness and mental state in any way why are you so condescending to him about this can you not take the time out of your day to be respectful with him about this what is this scene who wrote this dialogue let's see if our old friends can make sense of this he was talking about Andy and keeps bringing Andy up and his experience with Andy this is going to be a tough transition for him no shut up what are you talking about he mentioned Andy a single time at the very end of this conversation his initial concern was about keeping Bonnie happy because she clearly is very apprehensive about starting kindergarten and even if we put that aside you are insinuating that Woody using his experience with Annie to influence his decisions with Bonnie is a bad thing yeah why would we want to encourage anyone to pull things they've learned from their experiences as important factors in the decision-making process how silly of a concept just get out of here with this crap you aren't making any sense we're setting up that Bonnie is gonna be okay playing with Jesse she's she's got her Sheriff she will be okay without winning we're gonna see how that kind of plays out at the end of the film homes you're right we are gonna see how this plays out but it's gonna happen a lot sooner than the end of the film friends so please keep this in mind for later oh by the way check out this little line the idea of Bonnie's toys as kind of an acting troupe a bunch of actors uh hanging out together and doing their thing like Mr prickle pants being the the fussy British thespian Buttercup and and also Trixie for that matter being kind of the Improv actors in the group we just thought it'd be a fun Dynamic for these toys remember that Dynamic from Toy Story 3. yeah that's just nowhere to be found in this film The Writers just completely forgot that that was how Bonnie's horse was supposed to be but you know kiwi didn't consistent in honoring previous movies isn't exactly something they're particularly great at though perhaps I'm getting a little ahead of myself so Dolly shoves Woody back into the closet because Woody sucks I guess and then says hi says everyone and she says this literally seconds before Bonnie comes back into the room how how did you know she was coming in the past there was always some kind of audio indicator to let the toys know that the kids are about to come bursting into the room but there was none whatsoever this time are you psychic now and how lucky is it that Bonnie waited until the exact second you were done chastising wanted to come running back into a room also wait a minute Dolly told everyone to get to their places from in front of the closet despite this being nowhere near the spot that Bonnie left her which is hysterical considering how much he chastised ham earlier for moving less than an inch that goes for you too ham but it's funny but what makes it even worse is that in the one whole second between saying that and Bonnie coming back in she apparently teleported across the room back to her spot is anybody actually working and constantly reading this film I love just how parental these toys are with their kids great the dolly knows Bonnie so well that she's like she's gonna forget something she's gonna come back she's just ready what are you talking about what do you mean she knows Bonnie so well first of all that thing about her running back into the room because she forgot something isn't true because she's never done that part at this point so I don't know where she's pulling this from second of all it's not even true according to this movie standards because the reason Bonnie runs back into the room isn't because she forgot something it's because she is literally terrified of going to kindergarten is crying her eyes out not to mention the fact that Bonnie literally never does this again even a single time in any subsequent scenes to take place in Bonnie's room you do not know what happened in your own script third and most importantly if Dolly actually knew Bonnie as well as you claim she does then how embarrassing is it for her to not pay any attention to the fact that Bonnie is hiding in the corner crying because of how scared she is to go to a brand new school filled with people young and old she's never met Dolly doesn't know Bonnie well at all in fact that since she's actually a complete failure at understanding what she needs right now oh yeah I guess I kind of glossed over that huh Bonnie ran back into the room to have a cry about going to kindergarten in which Woody has a perfect view of and is understandably equally as a straw over because he doesn't like seeing people in this emotional state he has the empathy needed to want to be there for Bonnie and help her get through this incredibly hard transitional period unlike a certain other doll that her parents come into the room to retrieve Bonnie and Usher her out the door to get to kindergarten as if everything's totally normal they don't make any kind of effort to support their crying daughter who's immensely apprehensive about kindergarten because they are terrible parents how could you not have seen her crying what did you think she was doing hunts over on the floor playing hide and seek do not hear her sniveling in and fighting back more tears I don't understand why that chose to have her parents proceed to not give One Singular Hoot about their terrified daughter when doing so would actually inherently apply a large patch to our next major issue which is that Woody made the decision to hop at the Bonnie's backpack to accompany her to kindergarten in case she needs a helping hand because while it's nice to see that his character is still intact here as that is absolutely something what he would do how in the world did none of these three people notice him do this Woody would have had to open the closet door hop up onto the table unzip the backpack climb in and then zip it shut from the inside without either parent noticing it makes sense for Bonnie to not know since her mind would be preoccupied with the butterflies in her stomach and her eyes are currently locked on the floor but her parents don't even realize there's anything wrong with Bonnie right now so if they're not distracted with their crying daughter then there's no way they didn't either see the closet door open in their peripheral vision or hear the zipper of the backpack in this dead silent room whatever Moving On Dolly is stunned that Woody managed to pull one over on her and he continues to spectate Bonnie as they roll up to the elementary school and head into the classroom despite Bonnie's reluctance to leave her mom's side she softly waves goodbye is a teacher of scorcher to her own personal cutting hole to depositor backpack and for a moment you think that maybe you'll like this new character due to how kind of considerate she is to Bonnie only for her to turn around seconds later and immediately abandoned Bonnie leaving her no choice but to suddenly take a seat all by herself on the very back of the classroom why why are you this bad at your job you just showed us two separate shots of the other students in the classroom all getting along having found the table filled with other kids to socialize with except for this dude who's about to lose his finger to a pencil sharpener who invited that kid everyone else already has a friend to get along with in this galaxy brain of a teacher decides to completely abandon the only kid in the class who is completely alone and who is obviously sad and scared to be here all by herself and instead turn your attention to everyone else even something as simple as recommending she asked to some of the other kids or Just escorting her over there herself would be Leaps and Bounds ahead of where she is currently which is to just run around and desert her at the back of the classroom with nobody to talk to great awesome Bonnie Drew The Moldy straw and got slaughtered into the home and with the worst teacher on the planet how are you still employed at this school when you show this little consideration for your students anyway we can play this game over the meet and greet phase where the kids introduce themselves and jump straight right into the Arts and Crafts stage where their assignment is to decorate a pencil holder for use when kindergarten begins proper Bonnie begins to unleash your creativity to try to cheer herself up but wait a Beacon of Hope a purchaser from the distance in her world lights up for just a split second as she thinks another kid has found it in his heart to come and sit with a lonely girl in the back of the room only it is revealed that this apple kid will call him Steve wasn't actually interested in her at all and just wanted her toys to play with and so he completely ignores Bonnie and just takes the art supply box off our table for him to use all by himself I'm not going to criticize the writing for this kid's actions because we all knew someone like this who wasn't content to use the shared art supply box for everyone but instead had to take someone else's things for him to use all by himself in fact I'd even say that it's within his character since earlier we saw him steal this apple out of a girl's cubby and then when she tried to get it back he just said nah while I will criticize however is that once again the teacher isn't doing diddly Squad about this she doesn't see him take the supplies nor does she check in on Bonnie after the fact and notice that she doesn't have any supplies nor does she notice that the table that he's at magically now has two boxes of supplies because Miss Wendy's the type of person to climb a glass wall to see what's on the other side either out if she has some deep-seated hatred for Bonnie that we're not quite privy to be yet but either way she might actually be the worst teacher I've ever seen portrayed at any piece of media ever hey second worst third worst look I get it I played a lot of games with awful teachers since last year alright but Wendy still sucks at looking after her kids particularly new kids clearly destroyed on the verge of tears juxtaposed to the surrounding kids all of whom are currently very content and comfortable with talking to their friends and it is only because of the stink bad that the main plot device of this film is allowed to be created so Steve gets tired of eating his stolen apple and spits it out into the trash can only he misses horribly and knocks out about half of the supplies into the bin along with the Apple this absolute [ __ ] managed to miss his shot so terribly that it landed inside the supply box thus causing the supply to topple out into the trash can this kid may not be the stupidest person on the planet but he'd better hope that that person doesn't die anytime soon but that absolutely pales in comparison to what we are about to witness Woody leaps out of the backpack and drops to the floor stepping back into the cubbyhole behind him and hiding behind Bonnie's lunchbox you just saw Woody hiding behind Bonnie's battle sores lunchbox what what do you mean that's Bonnie's lunchbox she didn't have that on her when she walked into the classroom how did this get into the cubby hole did it teleport into the scene because Woody needed something to hide behind wait wait a minute how did what he even know this was here he was in the backpack the whole time so he couldn't possibly have seen this was down here oh but wait it gets worse outside of the two kids that somehow don't see Woody despite running in his exact Direction and outside of the fact that the teacher doesn't care that these kids are running around the classroom when they're supposed to be working on their pencil holders we are about to get a scene that is so drawing I honestly wasn't convinced it was actually happening so already through the whole scene and then we'll talk about it Woody uses this lunchbox as a moving cover piece to make his way over to the trash can jumps into the trash can throws a box of crayons towards bonding to distract her grabs as many supplies as he can hold and then completely abandons the idea of hiding behind the launch box to instead run directly behind Bonnie climb up on top of her chair toss the supplies onto her table and then leap back into her backpack what what in the name of the Teletubbies did I just watch you're telling me that absolutely nobody saw him do this really not one single kid in this classroom was looking in this general direction including the people sitting on this side of the tables meaning that they'd be looking directly toward the Cubbies no one saw moving in their peripheral vision no one hurt his footsteps Bonnie didn't feel the vibrations in the floor or feel Woody whoosh past her and even if we assumed that every single one of these children is brain dead how in the world did Miss Wendy not see anything she may be a terrible teacher as established previously but she still has a functioning pair of eyes she didn't see the magical moving lunchbox or the magical moving Cowboy also why did Woody bother with The Lunchbox at all if he wasn't gonna use it for the return trip why would someone sing a moving lunchbox be any less where than someone seeing a moving Cowboy doll finally a spork is included among these supplies but there were no sporks that fell out of that box meaning that another kid used the spork at some point and then threw it away and yet it somehow perfectly clean that doesn't make any sense this thing should be covered with half-eating food and yet it's somehow perfectly pristine wait a minute how is there even a spork in this trash can at all this is kindergarten orientation this is day one kids have been on vacation all summer are long these bins would have been emptied out a long time ago why is this trash and even full in the first place and why would a sport be included among these things how does Woody toss the crayon box all the way over to right next to Bunny's table when the arc were shown should have just immediately crashed to the ground in front of him nothing in this scene makes any sense and don't even try to tell me that criticizing the idea that there would even be a spork in this trash can at all when there haven't been any kids around for months there's a silly minor thing to get hung up on because this movie's plot revolves entirely around Bonnie having this eating utensil this is a critical plot point and yes you heard me correctly this Spork is going to define the central plot of this film how is that the case you may ask well it's simple after regaining her confidence Bonnie uses the supplies Woody Retreat for her to convert this Spork into a brand new character Fork face okay well his name is actually forky but I will not be doing this googly-eyed garbage smaller service referring to him by his proper name so forth race it is oh funny that is so clever oh now you decide you want to start paying attention to Bonnie where were you two minutes ago when she was about to start crying her eyes on me because she was scared and alone in an unfamiliar location this fast food Builder knockoff didn't give One Singular Hoot about her before but now that she's all sunshine and rainbows just shutting up a storm with her absolute waste of oxygen and tax dollars this is the state of the education system also wait a minute you're please with her for crafting this Abomination really because the assignment was for everyone to be decorating pencil holders and she didn't even kind of try to follow the instructions now I'm not blaming her for doing this she's new to kindergarten she wanted her Express her creativity and I'm happy she was able to but there's no way in the world you're gonna get me to believe that this teacher would have been displaced with bunny for going entirely off task anyway orientation goes by in a Flash and then we see Steve completely ignores that as he runs away yeah your kid's kind of a useless chewed up wall of bubble gum who steals people's belongings you might want to do something about that whatever Bonnie is reunited with their parents and is happy that she finished kindergarten only for her parents to utterly Crush her hopes and dreams and reveal that she's doomed to be sucked into the never-ending horrific spiral of the education system for the next 12 years of her life and possibly even longer then Bonnie's dad who has no scripted name that I'll be referring to him as the Magnum realizes his blunderman immediately tries to lift Bonnie spirits up by telling her that they're going on a road trip I really you're going on a road trip the day after kindergarten orientation apparently school doesn't start for another week which I guess it's not technically a proper criticism since there's nothing that would implicitly make this impossible but I mean every orientation I ever went through in school happened the day before school began properly I I don't know I just I just find a little strange that there's such a massive gap between orientation and the first day of school and even weirder that her parents waited until the absolute last possible week of summer vacation to take her on this road trip but whatever we've got way bigger fish to fry in this movie than that I can't believe talking to a sport [Music] oh don't you worry we're going to talk about the massive implications behind this thing coming to life in just a second but first there's a little something else we got to take care of Woody gets back to Bonnie's room and not two seconds after he climbs out of the backpack the toys are already chewing about as if he committed some unforgivable sin and Dolly because who else would it be is leading the charge on this front hey remember earlier when you demanded that everyone needs to remain perfectly still because Lonnie always forgets something yeah well I guess that doesn't mean anything anymore since you are more than willing to immediately get to work reprimanding Woody for trying to get Bonnie in trouble and running the risk of getting himself confiscated I guess but what this cotton clown fails to understand is that were it not for Woody making the incredibly intelligent decision to jump into Bonnie's backpack she never would have made Fork face and she never would have had the confidence she needed to make it through the day because Wendy Koopa over here certainly wasn't going to be of any help and once Woody brings forkface out of the backpack to prove that his presence in that classroom is what got Bonnie through her first day of kindergarten not only does Dolly not apologize to Woody not only does she herself adopt this strategy of sending a toy with buying to school by the end of the movie with absolutely no self-awareness credit thanks or apologize to Woody whatsoever but her pee brain just immediately forgets all about him the instant Woody says the words road trip as if she subconsciously realizes how embarrassingly wrong she's been since the first second she was on screen and is now desperately trying to change the subject so that none of her brain did followers realize it if I ever wanted to kill myself I'd climb to the top of Dolly's ego and then jump to her IQ oh and since we're on the topic of forkface let's finally stop and talk about what this garbage rejects existence means for this universe so first some context Woody opens up the backpack and slowly encourages four face to show himself and meet all the other toys but as of right now he is only capable of saying one word trash trash trash and to prove his allegiance to this one word he immediately turns around and makes a beeline for the trash can fighting against Woody's rib as he struggles to keep him from throwing himself away the other toys are all extremely confused by the existence of the spork asking why he wants to go to the trash to which Woody explains that he was made from trash and thus he wants to go to the track I don't even know where to begin with this one okay first things first every single toy from both Andy's room and Bonnie's room is Gob smacked by the existence of this thing utterly baffled at the idea that this arts and crafts project could ever come to life how how could this possibly be a New Concept for them to deal with how in the 17 years that Andy's toys were with him did they never not once ever encounter a situation where he made an arts and crafts project like forkface over here or is it that there's something special about Fort face that brought him to life and not the other arts and crafts projects because now thanks to this stupid movie we have to tackle the rules of sentience in the Toy Story universe and if your knee-jerk reaction to hearing me say that as something along the lines of come on dude it's a world where toys come to life toys aren't alive in our world as far as you know so why does fork face have to make sense will then listen up and listen good while I tell you about something called internal consistency because yes you are absolutely correct this is a fictional world where toys come to life that has been the fundamental World rule since the very first movie but you will never hear me criticize these stories as Concepts because fictional stories are allowed to take the audience into unfamiliar worlds with rules far different to our own to tell exceptionally entertaining stories that is not what we are talking about in regards to Fork face we are not talking about consistency in regards to our world we are talking about consistency in regards to their world or in other words internal consistency you cannot criticize a fictional world for the foundations of its Universe what you can do however is criticize a fictional world for a contradiction of the foundations of its universe and that is what we are talking about when criticizing forkface not that it makes no sense for a toy that comes alive because that's been implicit in the rules of this universe since the very beginning but that it makes no sense for this stupid sport to have ever come to life because he is not a toy he even explicitly says that himself I am not a toy I'm a spark he is a bundle of pipe cleaners popsicle sticks and googly eyes trapped guarded Spork it's always been pretty simple since the beginning of the series if you are a toy you are sentient whether you're a human-like entity such as Woody an animal-like rex or vehicle like RC but now this movie has thrown an entirely new factor into the mix that could fundamentally destroy the world building of Toy Story as we know it how is this Spork alive is it that all inanimate objects are actually alive and that they just don't have the means to see the world communicate or navigate because that's horrifying to think about is it the googly eyes if I throw googly eyes onto Bonnie's backpack give it a name and then start playing with it will it come to life is it specific to eating utensils how far can I stretch this can I throw googly eyes into a bowl of spaghetti and make it come to life can I write my name on my car and it's had googly eyes to it what if I do it to a strand of hair a bottle of water a shirt a shoe can I reanimate a dead animal by throwing googly eyes onto it can I throw googly eyes onto the ground and make the entire planet come to life what are the limits here how is this stupid Spork alive with this point you've probably already assumed that a child's imagination is what indeed gives a toy life but in case there was any doubt about it the Toy Story 4 trailer officially makes it Canon Bonnie made a friend in class no no she literally made a new friend kids are essentially the gods that giveth life in the Toy Story first now shut up sentience in the Toy Story universe is absolutely nothing to do with a child's imagination because the toys in Isles toy barn and the aliens in the claw machine are all alive and moving about freely they have never been played with in their lives they were manufactured and shipped to the store for sale or to the arcade game as prizes to be won furthermore this Buzz Lightyear figure was never going to be played with at all because he was only supposed to be for display and yet he is still fully sentient heck even if you just want to adhere to this movie alone we are going to meet a pair of toys of it later on Whose entire story revolves around the idea that they have never been played with and their lives and are desperate to find a kid of their own and they are still very much alive and that's not to mention the fact that Bonnie has previously played with things such as a cardboard spaceship that she's clearly like using her imagination to include in her playtime Adventures yet it's still dead as a doorknob so nice try matpat you have a plethora of incredibly well researched videos and thought-provoking topics to discuss across all four of your channels I have nothing but undying respect and admiration for you [Laughter] speaking of things that aged poorly it is still true that the work he has done for Saint Jude is more than commendable but oh boy are there some things I didn't know about back then even more things that have happened over the past year that has made this statement age worse than Sonic Adventure 2. oh sorry did I say that out loud anyway back to Ford face matpat has miserably failed to provide us with an explanation so where else can we look for answers aha perhaps it's the souls from Seoul after all the idea behind that movie is that the Souls Prepare for life and when they fell out all their personality traits they dive down to earth ready to live by becoming somebody's Soul so that must explain the sentience the souls can inhibit any object and that is an incredibly creative hypothetical solution to this problem since the Pixar theory states that all Pixar movies exist in the same shared Universe except for one small problem with that the people who made this movie actively deny the existence of the Pixar theory and make fun of people who believe in it oh you don't believe me well don't take my word for it let's hear it straight from the horse's mouth this book that Mom is reading right there but it says beyond Infinity bunking the crazy theory of a shared universe or something oh don't you worry we're going to be getting that stupid book in about an hour so there you have it according to these filmmakers the Pixar theory isn't at all applicable here so the sole excuse for fork faces sentience Ain't Gonna Fly here although speaking of these unsalted pretzels let's check back in on them and see if they have any explanation for how exactly this thing mannered to come to life it could be because Bonnie writes her name on his feet that could be the thing no that doesn't make any sense because aside from the fact that almost every single one of Andy's in Bonnie's toys don't have a name written on them aside from the fact that Al's collection of toys both in his apartment and at the Toy Barn don't have a name on them aside from the fact that buzz was already a lie before Andy wrote his name on his Boot and aside from the fact that under this brain dead logic what he should have been killed when the cleaner painted over Andy's name yet no one else has Bonnie's name written on it her backpack yeah you thought that that backpack coming from earlier was just a random example didn't you if that's all it takes is to just write your name on an inanimate object then why isn't the backpack alive why because it's a Backpacker not a toy say it say because it's just a backpack I dare you tell me it's just a backpack and not a toy say that to me when we are dealing with a freaking Spork held together by glue and pipe cleaners I dare you try again you clowns you're sitting around the story room going well what if Bonnie played with a rock would that rock come to life then the answer is who knows I know you don't know whether or not it should come to life because you have absolutely no idea what you are doing with this franchise you shattered the consistency of this universe and all it took was for you to throw some googly eyes and I just scared of eating utensil and call it alive I don't think we should explain it it's a little too midichlorian for me I'm stunned I'm completely shocked I mean honestly I'm just utterly taken aback by the idea that you don't think you should address these fundamental World building questions when writing your story it absolutely astounds me that you think these things aren't important I truly am I'm just amazed I have all the questions and what Trixie says right there is a way for us to not answer the question I have a question I've got all of them and we all do don't worry about it no shut up you stupid filmmakers just because you didn't care enough about Toy Story and think about how this brain dead sport was going to impact the universe you were adding to doesn't mean you get to tell us not to think about it don't worry about it and don't think about it are things you say when you are fully cognizant of the fact that the story you are telling is rotten to the core and fundamentally broken and you just desperately hope that people aren't going to realize it well guess what you may have fooled the rest of the world with this trash but you ain't gonna fool me oh and we're not even done talking about Fork face yet this is something we haven't addressed he wants to go to the trash can because he was made from items Woody dug out of the trash so he wants to go back to his place of origin then why don't the other toys why doesn't Mr Potato want to go back to play school why doesn't Rex want to go back to the small company that was purchasing a leveraged buyout why doesn't Buzz want to go back to Taiwan heck even if we ignore all the other toys this excuse doesn't even work in isolation because that's not the trash can he was born from he was born from the trash can in the kindergarten room that random Bean means nothing to him also he wants to go to the trash because he was made from trash but he wasn't made from trash he was made from pipe cleaners googly eyes popsicle sticks are doing a spork some of those stem from the art box and one stems from some random kid's lunchbox why isn't his body being pulled in all sorts of directions actually wait even then it's still broken because each of those items would have been produced in a different Factory that mass produces these art supplies why doesn't you want to go back to the factory where all these things came from how far can I push this Until It Breaks buzz off of this garbage you stupid movie buddy aren't you being a little dramatic about all this hey remember 10 seconds ago when you were yammering on about how Woody could have been confiscated or gotten bunny in trouble and being incredibly dramatic about the situation and I'm sorry Bonnie was literally crying her eyes out earlier and was visibly distraught about going to kindergarten right in front of you what do you mean he's being a little dramatic what are you talking about but remember everyone Dolly knows Bonnie so well also why aren't buzz and Jesse standing up for Woody here have these toys not been with him for long enough to understand that when Woody talks about what's best for his kid he knows what he's talking about this makes any sense who wrote this okay let's finally keep going with the plot four face tries to kill himself by jumping into the trash game but when he jumps in to save him battling to babysit this Fork while he acclimates to Bonnie's room and speak of the devil Bonnie comes charge you back into the room to play with fork face some more but she quickly realizes that the spork has been misplaced and so what he chucked him back up under the bits and nothing seems to miss wait wait why is Fork face Frozen why does he know to freeze in the presence of a human he thinks he belongs in the trash he doesn't know he's a toy he actively says I am not a toy I'm a spark why would he know that he needs to let alone decide that he wants to freeze in front of Bonnie and I swear if I see even a single comment saying oh well then how does Buzz know how to freeze he doesn't think he's a toy in the first movie and I will smack you with a newspaper if you unironically think that that is a valid counter argument then listen up because I am so sick and tired of seeing this Moroni sentiment about the first movie why does Buzz know to freeze in the first Toy Story movie if he believes he's an actual Space Ranger well have a listen to this line of dialogue right here it looks as though I've been accepted into your culture your Chief Andy inscribe his name on me the intended effect upon seeing this is to feel Woody's jealousy to some extent because prior to this point he was the only toy in the room that Andy wrote his name on but it also gives us Vital Information as to how Buzz views Andy's room Buzz believes that he's crash landed on an Uncharted planet and is simply learning to live among the toys while he works to repair his spaceship and while it's clear that he's more than willing to request their help and supplies with a repair process he also wants to be respectful of the culture of the plan that he thinks he's landed on and makes an effort to respect the chain of command but what could he possibly consider to be part of their culture well the Only Rule that the toys absolutely must abide by is that whenever Annie comes into the play with them they need to free so he isn't scarred for life and is therefore something the toys would have told him about and something Buzz would consider to be part of their culture what's that that only applies to Andy but you still haven't explained why he freezes in front of the other humans you say well let's run through the rest of this film and see how that holds up Buzz has no compunctions about not freezing in front of the pizza delivery guy he doesn't even consider what he's concerned learned that no no no wait pause the back no one will see us there to be a problem whatsoever when sneaking into Pizza Planet he's moving stealthily Because he believes that they need to circumvent their guards at the Spaceport not so that the humans don't see him as evidence by why he Sprints across the Island dives into the rocket crime without a care in the world for who may spot him when he's in the bag with Woody heading into Sid's house Woody has to actively tell Buzz to freeze as Sid reaches into the bag to grab him which is likely also an event that occurs he was being pulled out of the rocket and after that the next time he has to freeze his after he realizes that he's a toy at which point he understands that that is the reason why the toys have to freeze back in Andy's room the only human he proactively chooses to freeze in front of before discovering the truth is Andy and it's entirely because he believes freezing to be a part of the culture of the room oh but what about when he's in his box well I already know to freeze then simple listen to this line from Toy Story 2. violation of code 6404.5 All Space Rangers are to be in hyper until awakened by authorized Personnel it's part of the scripted backstory that they all believe to be true until they are awakened by authorized personnel well as in taken out of their box by a child they are to be in hypersleep as in Frozen thus explaining why all the other toys in the store are free to party as they please but none of the Buzz Lightyear toys move even a single muscle unless they're actively attacked and to carry this out further the delusional Buzz Lightyear doesn't freeze when he's in front of Alan's office he takes cover because he thinks he's an agent of Zerg if I ever saw one and that is the reason why he chooses to stay hidden not because he's a toy wanting to freeze but because he's on a mission to stop the evil emperor Zerg and doesn't want to be captured by one of his agents I won't deny that the films could be clearer about these things as opposed to leaving it up to the viewer to pick up these pieces and put them together on their own but it's undeniable that the pieces are there but there are no pieces in Toy Story 4 in regards to Fork face the only line of dialogue he said throughout this film is trash trash trash and even if we reference later lines of dialogue the only thing of note that he says before he realizes he's supposed to be Bonnie's toy needs to freeze in front of her is I am not a toy I'm a spark you have no excuse movie there original trilogy made a clear effort to establish reasons why Buzz would choose to freeze in front of Andy and in his spaceship but you've got nothing there is absolutely no reason why this Spork would ever feel the need to do this which is essential to the stakes of the story because if Bonnie saw this Spork moving and talking she'd either be freaked out about it and scarred for life like what happened to Sid tell our parents about what she saw which they obviously wouldn't believe and either lead to unwanted therapy or a permanent distrust with her parents because it wouldn't be the bunny is telling a funny story that she knows is false to try to get her attention it'd be her genuinely sharing something true that she saw that her parents do not believe or the worst possibility of all is that she shows forfeits of her parents they're freaked out by what they've seen and confiscated by throwing him in the trash and erasing the core plot device of this film at best or calling in the authorities to investigate this bizarre talking Sport and potentially destroying the secret worlds of toys forever at worst it is pivotal to this story that Ford face knows to freeze in front of Bonnie during this and all subsequent scenes but the simple truth of the matter is that he has absolutely no reason to you this makes no goddamn sense who wrote this moving on WE transitioned to night time where we see that Woody is still stuck in the stupid bin tossing forfeiting subjects to Bonnie you've been in there doing this since she got back from orientation and it took you all those hours to realize gee I wonder if it's a smarter idea to go up there and hold them in place so we can both get some sleep and wait a minute why are her parents even letting their daughter sleep with a spork in the first place it may be a plastic Explorer you can still poke your eye out with this thing how terrible are these parrots good Lord Almighty okay so anyway so what do you wakes up the next morning and discovers that four faces decided to try something new and is sleeping in the trashman for a change amazing but oh no Magnum is on the hunt and so Woody lets himself go limp and fall over landing at the exact right angle to tip over the trash can and spill that fork face perfectly but also keep everything else inside the bin except for this one crumpled up piece of paper that barely leaves the bin seriously you were that perfect in the less than a second you had to think you hit the exactly perfect angle you needed to to free for face without making a mess buzz off you stupid movie Magnum walks into the room to wake up Bonnie for the road trip and because his intelligence is about car with his emotional awareness he steps on Woody as he leans over Bonnie's bed she would have been inconvenient if he'd taken literally one extra step forward and crushed this stupid sport immediately thus ending the movie and leaving her daughter in a state of distress then again he clearly doesn't even care if she is emotionally distraught so whatever well story wise in a way it would destroy the Crux of the narrative because this Spork is going to become the ultimate plot device for the rest of the film and so if he were to destroy it right here right now this film story would fold in on itself and end immediately anyway Bonnie is excited about all the toys he's gonna bring with her on the road trip which causes her to think about [ __ ] face and realize he's gone missing and so when he throws him back up onto the bed which once again somehow goes completely unnoticed by both Bonnie and her dad because he just so happen to be looking in the complete opposite direction long enough for Woody to throw the spark back up how wonderfully convenient then Bonnie leaves into magnum's arms he steps on Woody again and then they go down to the kitchen eat breakfast meaning that four face is now super dead because Woody isn't going down there with him to stop him from jumping into the trash can of which she would absolutely find one in the kitchen so what in the world is going to stop him from throwing himself away the second Bonnie looks away government like you did a minute ago oh sorry was that one of the things you don't want us thinking about I forgot you didn't actually apply your brain when you wrote the script so then Buzz asked if Woody needs help looking at the four face in the road trip wait where did you come from there's no other toys in the floor where did you what did you just teleport into the scene oh don't tell me you were hiding in the closet the whole night don't even try to tell me that it's a normal event for these toys to spend the night sleeping in a closet I sure do hope that's not the case because if it was then it would make the Toy's attitude when they were stuck in the closet earlier really really silly oops did somebody forget their own script moving on he offers to help keep an eye on forkface while they're on the road and Woody denies Buzz's help what are you kidding me Woody doesn't want Buzz's help with fork face who are these characters these are the two who said they'd be together for infinity and beyond and Woody isn't gonna let Buzz help when he clearly needs all the assistance he can possibly get to keep this neurotic sport from killing himself buzz off you stupid movie you have no idea who these characters are stop pretending like you do and so Begins the road trip Montage with Randy Newman music playing in the background because as a director and puts so eloquently Randy Newman music just pulls you right into the Toy Story Universe don't think about our broken script please just let yourself get distracted by Randy Newman music and they really need you to be distracted for this monster because if you actually stop to think about what's happening in these scenes not only does none of this make any sense but there is one particular shot that if you actually see it if you see this one particular shot it nukes the entire film it utterly shatters this script to Pieces not that it's not already in tatters but you'll see you'll see what I mean but I won't show my hand just yet we're gonna play a little game I will describe each scene in this Montage to you break down what's wrong with each of them without explicitly telling you which one kills the film I want to see if you can figure out which scene it is go ahead take your pick remember it for later and then we'll revisit the sponsors at the very end of the film to see if you were right now then let's begin for our first scene there's nothing broken here that we haven't already gone over by which I mean there's absolutely no reason for forfeits to keep freezing every time Bonnie looks back in oh and by the way in case you think it's a toys immutable uncontrollable instinct to freeze when a human looks at them that's just straight up wrong with this little scene so play nice so yeah four phase freezing makes no sense Bonnie should see Woody moving around in our peripheral vision whatever we've been over this moving on to the next scene at the gas station where Magnum is pumping the gas and Bonnie and her mom who will call uh Pearl step outside but then we come back to the RV where we see you guessed it Fork face trying to throw himself away awesome and because what he refused Buzz's help he is forced to keep this little tort from committing suicide all by himself while all the other toys just lays around doing nothing which is proving to be quite the Herculean task truly a 200 IQ play there Woody so he finally decides aha he can't throw himself into a bin if there's no bin to be thrown into genius and so he Chucks the trash can out the rear window of the RV as they drive away from the gas station I what who wrote that who put that into the script I I don't understand how this happened let me run you through the logistics of what would have needed to occur in order for this event to have taken place Woody would have waited to hold up a trash can by himself since remember he denied help from Buzz and every other toy is Frozen right now run to the back of the RV open the window since we already know from this shot that it was sealed shut due to the reflection in the glass wait for Magnum to stop pumping the gas and wait for Bonnie and pearl to come back to the RV and then throw it out the window at the exact moment as they start driving away and to put it simply none of that makes any sense at all first of all Bonnie and pearl really don't hear four face giggling like a maniac really are you both deaf how did you not hear that second it requires the use of both of Woody's arms in order to hold the trash can away from the spork and even then he still has to rest the trash can against the seat in front of him because he cannot support the weight of this thing all by himself which makes sense since he's you know a toy yeah we are supposed to believe that he dragged this trash can all the way to the back of the RV he did all the way up to the top of this couch in the back and remember Buzz isn't allowed to help what he hear so none of these toys are allowed to share the load when lifting this thing up and he has to do all this while still somehow securing the spork despite needing to use both his hands in order to hold on to the bin this movie is full of baloney third how did nobody notice the trash can both Magnum and pearl would have had to pass by the bin to get back into the driver's seat and the passenger seat yet neither She nor Magnum or Bonnie notice this was missing they didn't notice that there were still sound waves coming into the RV due to the now open window despite the door being closed Bonnie didn't notice that four face has disappeared from his previous location and would therefore have to look toward the back of the RV to find him thus noticing the trash can and the open window especially when later in the movie we see that the family's plans are brought to a screeching halt whenever she can't find this sport for two seconds this movie is full of baloney and finally even if we assume that Woody magically found a way to load this bin up to the top of the table in the back even if we assume that Woody somehow manages a cure Fork face even if we assume that nobody noticed the open window or the missing trash can for however long it took everyone to complete their side quests there is absolutely no way in the world Woody could have surreptitiously chucked this trash can out the back window without Magnum noticing him in the rear view mirror that would be aimed at the back of the RV you are busted my dude you're done you're gone you are being sent to an exorcist the instant Magnum sees this and the freeze the heck out over it and if you want to make the incredibly charitable assumption that Woody would have shut this current so nobody could have seen him then that is an even bigger change that has been made to the state of the RV and there's absolutely no way no one would notice that either this movie is full of baloney no matter how you slice it you are not getting this bin out the window actually wait a minute even if we accepted the insane circumstances surrounding how would he manage to get the bend out the window why would he even want to so long as this trash can is inside the RV he is guaranteed to keep Fork face inside the vehicle at all times because he will have no reason to go anywhere else absolutely worst case scenario four face gets into the trash can okay now all you have to do is get him out of the bin before the parents empty it at the next Campground or gas station but if there was no longer a bin in the RV to fulfill Ford faces suicidal desires then all of a sudden he has a major incentive to try to leave the vehicle which makes your job infinitely more difficult than it would have been if you just kept it in the RV what are you doing this makes no sense and just so you know the remainder of this plot is dependent on there not being a trash can in this RV so don't even try to tell me this isn't a big deal it is a major deal okay next Montage Bonnie is shown happily playing with Woody outside Poultry Palace in the next shot Bonnie runs off to go eat her lunch while Fork phase yells himself over seeing a trash can nearby and so Woody races to catch up and stop him again are you noticing a running theme here because it's getting very tiring to watch anyway this makes no sense the only reason they don't see this is because they're all sitting on the same side of a table that's designed to hold four people seriously you wouldn't even put one parent on the opposite side so you have more room to eat there's no way you have enough room for all three of your food on this small little table but of course if they did the sensible thing and actually put someone on the other side of the table then Woody and four face would have been caught immediately but I don't even think they should have been able to get away with this as the scene is presented anyway because there's nobody else in this shot there's nobody in this table back here and anybody in the parking lot will be too far away to create a noticeably auditory disturbance so how in the world do they not hear Fork face wailing like a dying Banshee right next to their table does anybody on this team know how sound waves work how do they keep getting away with this who wrote the script oh my God okay is it moving on the RV pulls up to an Overlook so one I can step out and take a picture of the jaw-droppingly gorgeous scenery I want to then immediately run back into the RV literally less than three seconds after she leaves the frame let's run through the laundry list of problems with the scene first of all the RV pulls all the way up to the wall on this shot and then one shot later the RV is suddenly meters away from the thing and I don't know how you screwed this up I can only assume that they realize while animating the shot that if Bonnie had actually stepped out when the RV was right next to the wall then there would be no way for her to possibly see over without a parent coming out with her and for some reason they only wanted her to run outside without either of her brain dead parents I don't even fully buy the idea that this five-year-old child managed to operate the camera by herself but what I can definitively say is that there's absolutely no way she managed to position her camera at the proper angle wait for the lens to focus and then actually take the picture in less than three seconds and why are her parents even letting her run outside by herself you are at an Overlook surrounded by people you don't know and your daughter is five years old if there's even the slightest chance there might be some malicious out there or even just an idiotic drunk driver that haphazardly pulls up to the Overlook without looking why in the world would you not want to be out there with her to at the very least help her take a better photo and especially be able to keep an eye on her in case something goes horribly horribly wrong instead of just mucking about in the front seats and I haven't even talked about what they actually wanted you to focus on in the scene which is Fork face let's assume he somehow managed to grab hold of the door despite the handle being all the way up here and nowhere near where his pipe cleaner hands are you might assume that Bonnie was holding on to him as she ran outside and simply lost her grip as she opened the door but no her hand is clearly not even remotely touching for face in this shot this not only means that the spork wasn't on Bonnie's person since he was already waiting on the door trying to escape despite her constant desire to want to play with him but that he somehow maneuvered his way across the RV and up onto the door without anybody noticing the movement and without Woody stopping him and that Bonnie didn't see fourth face on the door when she pushed it open and didn't grab him to take him outside there to put him back on the table what is the scene we didn't see a scene where four faces what are you just running around outside how down did this happen where are they right now how did they get outside without anybody noticing why is the door open did the spork open it if so how did no one see it open how does the sport keep getting away from Bonnie without either herself or Woody pulling him back how does this keep happening what is going on who wrote this then take a detour to head to a rest stop which okay so they pull onto the rest stop and as Bonnie steps off the RV it is revealed that Ford faces hiding on the backpack and so then Woody starts running out to Fort face to prevent him from throwing himself into the trash can again and then the second he catches him Bonnie and pearl emerged from the rest area but the why why did you walk off the RV and then literally seconds later you emerge to go back to the RV unless you have the magic ability to snap your fingers and empty your bladder instantly you could not have possibly gone to the bathroom and washed your hands with the amount of time that you had so what the heck were you doing you made a pit stop at a rest area to rest for like five seconds and then leave again what was the point how did you not hear a four face or see him in your peripheral vision he literally screams out [Music] how did these two not hear him how did Magnum who we know for sure is still in the RV since he's not with the family when they go toward the rest area or when they come back from the rest area not see or hear Woody versus the door to catch him how did the four freeze even get away from Woody in the first place what is this monsters what is happening right now it's just a sport trying to jump into a bin over and over again an increasingly Ridiculous Ways and during indiscreasingly insane situations that these toys should never have been able to get away within a million gears and the writers desperately want you to not think about any of this which is why they play the Randy Newman music so you disengage your critical thinking abilities and then just get Swept Away by the musical score although maybe I'm getting a bit ahead of myself on that note so for now I'll just say this keep this in mind for later and remember which shot in that Montage you think nukes the entire premise of this film we'll see how your guess turns out by the end now let's talk about what the writers are very clearly trying to allude to in regards to Fork faces actions here prior to this point I have been completely ignoring the music playing in the background and focusing solely on the movie itself so you can understand how none this makes any sense at all but now I want you to completely disregard the visual events taking place and listen very closely to the lyrics of this song and then tell me what you think they're supposed to be about [Music] [Music] I don't know about you but when we are dealing with a character who literally wants to throw himself away while a song is playing in the background about how a girl who loves you's heart would break if you should go and wanting to see the sun rise and set each day and considering Commons Randy Newman has made in interviews the very first thought to come to my head is oh so they want you to think that four face is suicidal the writers are very clearly trying to draw parallel to this topic only they aren't portraying it with any sense of emotional intelligence or respect whatsoever which is absolutely pathetic because you work at Pixar a studio that has never ever been afraid to tackle incredibly serious topics such as depression physical and mental disabilities a merciless Massacre of all except one of a father's yet to hatch eggs as well as his wife in the opening minutes of a movie the meaning of life itself and the meaning of death Force gender roles and patriarchal expectations even if said themes would have been handled significantly better if the original director hadn't been removed from the project but that's a topic for a different type how A Bug's Life even tackled things like authoritarianism corruption and government's dictatorship and this was Pixar's second movie second you are working at a studio that has never had any compunkions whatsoever about dealing with monumentalist serious topics and what are widely considered to be children's movies so if you wanted to tell an emotionally mature story about Suicidal Thoughts you were at the perfect Animation Studio to do it but no you didn't want to do that because you aren't emotionally mature enough to watch Blue's Clues you have this happy jovial bouncy instrumental to distract kids from both the lyrics being sung and the visual events happening on screen and looking past how these scenes don't make any sense at all forkface is trying to throw himself away because he doesn't want to be a toy he doesn't want to live in the life that he has been given and would rather die at the hands of the trash can but this isn't Handler with sincerity or maturity it's played entirely for Laughs throughout the entirety of this Montage what are you doing what have you written here you narcoleptic seahorse and even if you think that I'm making an overly large deal about this and that the writers didn't intend to send that message which is irrelevant because it might actually be a bigger insult they wrote the scenes of the way that they did but were too stupid to realize what it might imply even if you just look at it in the context of the story itself the implementation of four faces character Arc is a complete and utter joke to watch unfold on screen and I can think of no better way to illustrate this than by drawing the comparison to Buzz Lightyear's journey in the first movie or more specifically the scene where he discovers that he is actually a toy Buzz has spent the entire movie up until this point believing that he's meant for something greater in his life he is a Space Ranger he's the one who's going to save the Galaxy from the evil emperor Zerg until he sees a commercial for a Buzz Lightyear action figure perfectly replicating every action he's taken throughout the film as if he were just one of a million buzzes on an assembly line even going so far as to explicitly refer to him as nothing more than a toy a flightless toy no less he stares in silence and disbelief as he watches his entire world come crumbling down around him and then all he can do is walk away he has shut out his surroundings he stopped thinking about Woody about Sid about Andy about everything it's all his brain can do to work overtime to try in desperation to process the bombshell that has just been dropped onto him that everything he ever knew was a lie there is no gamma quadrant of sector 4. there is no Universe protection into the Space Ranger course there is no Galactic Alliance and there is no evil emperor Zerg he doesn't have a real Laser cannon he doesn't have a communicator linked to Star Command and he can't fly he's forced to stand longingly at the railing of the stairs looking out the window as he sees birds flying through the sky doing the thing that he always thought he could but has now realized will forever be Beyond his reach but no can't be true he refuses to believe it he won't accept the slanderous lies he's seen on the screen so he scales the railing with Newfound determination ready to prove to the world once and for all that he can fly if he wants to he deploys his wings takes in One Last Breath of confidence staring towards the window with the same resolving conviction when he last stood atop Andy's bedpost ready to soar like a burdened sky and declares that he's ready to fly Infinity and Beyond only to feel that mountain of determination suddenly drain entirely from his face as he falls from a Grace his last spark of hope growing further and further away finally crashing down on the stairs tumbling to the floor below and upon recovering from the shock of the Fall he looks up to see that his arm has been entirely dislocated a piece of him ripped from his body from the impact but there's no torn limbs no blood no anything that you'd see in a normal human all he sees is a mechanical limb designed in a factory to be seamlessly attached and reality finally sinks in as he accepts that he's nothing more than a toy and that he will go sailing no more and this results in Buzz descending into an identity crisis where he no longer realizes what the point of being alive even is anymore adamantly declaring that he can't help anyone there's no difference between him being at Andy's household City's house because he's just a stupid little insignificant toy until Woody speaks from his heart about the joys you can bring to the people around you even if you are just an insignificant toy and he sees what he's slumped over all the energy drained from his face thinking about the inevitability of their fate at the hands of Sid that he may never get the chance to see Andy ever again so long as they're trapped here and that thought has completely wrecked him it's not until this happens that he understands the importance of toys in the world realizing the power of the two-way relationship that they have with their owners and how they need each other more than anything seeing his friend with whom he's bonded over the course of their Adventure depressed and dejected is the wake-up call he needs to finally snap him back to reality giving him the confidence boost he needs to triumphantly declare that there's a kid over in that house who needs them and so the two work together to escape Sid's house battle the Demonic scud catch up to Andy's moving van and Soar Off as a team [Music] and even if you extract the contents of these scenes from the movie itself there's something here that every audience member can take away from Buzz's Journey because similar to the way that buzz is just a toy were all just people the world doesn't revolve around any of us individually we're all just one small Cog and a massive machine doing our part in the world none of us are particularly special in that regarding the massive scale but that doesn't make us any less special to the people around us it doesn't mean life is meaningless just because you're one out of almost eight billion people on the planet you can make a difference in the lives of the people around you you can brighten their days with the symbols of gestures even just the fact that you exist at all could be enough to list someone's Spirits if they see you and you don't have to be a Space Ranger to do it all you have to be is who you are it's a beautiful message conceptually with phenomenal narrative execution and something Pixar tackled and subsequently knocked out of the ballpark in their very first movie that has remained a Timeless story almost three decades later then on the other end of the spectrum we have Fork face in Toy Story 4 who wobbles his way through the scenes with jovial music assaulting your eardrums constantly trying to throw himself away without even the slightest amount of self-awareness of what is being implied here and you play it for Less you play it off as a fun high octane Montage you want the audience to cackle uncontrollably at this concept you play it off as such a funny thing that this sport doesn't want to be a toy so badly that he wants to keep throwing himself into a trash can hey remember what happens to toys that get thrown away why doesn't Woody bring this up why doesn't he say hey Fork face I know you think the trash is warm but I don't think you quite realize how warm it's gonna get pretty soon and my friends that I know about that first hand you quintessential clown and as if all this wasn't bad enough they don't even give his character a proper resolution to this identity crisis they introduce him have him try to kill himself for the two minute duration of a Randy Newman song and then two scenes later his existential crisis concludes and he fully accepted he's a toy who needs to be there for Bonnie without any resistance whatsoever it's absolutely aesthetic and these writers have absolutely no respect for the subject matter they are either intentionally or accidentally trying to portray on screen and they should be ashamed of themselves for being so irresponsible with this but perhaps I'm getting a bit ahead of myself so let's just get going with the plot shall we one Montage later it's night time and we're in the middle of nowhere as Bonnie starts to fall asleep while still firmly holding on to Forfeit so we can't escape her grasp what is keeping a close eye on him as always but is clearly struggling to keep himself awake Buzz notices this narcolepsy and decides it's finally time for him to do something about it he didn't bugger all throughout the earlier Montage from now all of a sudden he wants to re-off for his help to Woody awesome he then does this weird rolling thing in order to get over to Woody and I don't I don't why why did you need to do this why didn't you just walk over to him like a normal person it's not any less conspicuous to randomly roll around like Sonic in fact it might actually be more conspicuous because you're guaranteed to make a lot of unnecessary Noise by doing this instead of just subtly walking over to him what are you doing wait wait how do the parents like you you jiver driving it up anyway you can clearly hear the radio isn't on right now nobody else in this RV is talking even if you assume the passengers sleep right now the driver has to be awake because we are currently driving down the highway how does nobody hear you two talking this wasn't a thing in the original trilogy the only time toys talked in the vicinity of humans was when they were deliberately trying to or if they were asleep or if they were on the phones there was a lot of source of audio to distract them this RV is dead silent right now unless this debt has a spatial awareness of a pigeon how does he not hear you two we're always kind of pushing that line of how much you can get away with toys talking when humans are around and dial up and down the volume to make sure that humans would not notice what the scene was playing out with the toys we purposefully you don't see the parents in the shots at all what what did I just listen to dialing up and down the volume what the RV is literally dead silent there's nobody else talking in the vehicle there are no other cars on the road the radio is turned off the GPS isn't giving directions it doesn't matter how quiet you try to make them there is no conflicting audio to compete against there is no reason why they should go unnoticed here and as for the whole not showing the parents thing really do you understand the concept of object permanence because it's either that you don't understand it or you don't think that the audience understands it and either of those explanations is equally pathetic you're more than welcome to take your pick just because you don't show the parents in the shot doesn't mean they don't exist anymore that's not how this works you pieces of burnt toast who wrote this also did you people forget that buzz glows in the dark he had all day to soak up energy so he could radiate visible light when night falls oh please don't tell me you forgot that don't give me yet another reason to assume that you lack even the most basic understanding of this franchise or worse yet that you deliberately chose to ignore the fact that it glows in the dark because you knew that there was no way the driver could miss a ball of light rolling around the RV in the rear view mirror Jesus Christ so then Woody has a line and it's uh no you weren't around he was I don't remember it being this hard I genuinely have absolutely no idea what he's trying to say here are you trying to say that being a toy was never this hard because I don't know if you remember your life up until this point but these past few movies have been ridiculously hard for you to go through you were almost dismembered and made into a freaky Abomination you were almost eaten by a demon dog you had to navigate Roadway traffic and were nearly run over many times in the process you were about to be run over by an airplane you had to break out of the most heavily guarded daycare in the world and let's not forget you were almost shredded to pieces and then subsequently burned alive what do you mean you don't remember it being this hard you're trying to keep a spork out of a bin and that sent you into a mental spiral but all this is totally average everyday toy stuff okay then or are you saying that trying to keep your kid happy when they were super young has never been this hard because if that's the case then all I had to say is no dip airlock no I did not misspeak obviously keeping Bonnie happy is harder than keeping Andy happy because Andy's favorite toy wasn't suicidal I don't understand this line doesn't make any sense no matter how you look at it so then Buzz generously offers help Woody Again by suggesting that he'd be the one to keep an eye on four face to deny what would he gets some sleep and for just a moment I remember that I am watching the dynamic duo from the original trilogy who relied on each other through thick and thin only for Woody to then say seconds later no no I need to do this what what are you talking about you turning down Buzz's Health again you don't want to rely on Buzz for help after surviving Sid's house a demon dog Al mcwiggins the prospector the airport the insanity of the daycare lotzo the dump a monstrous lizard Ron the eBay expert ant buzz and the cleric you don't trust him to look after four face after everything you two have been through together are you kidding me oh is it because that little boy's inside me would never leave me alone if I gave up because if that's the case then good Lord Almighty are you delusional this implies that you would only feel comfortable if you were the one to look after Fork face meaning that you wouldn't trust anyone else including Buzz Lightyear to do that job which is absolutely ludicrous you two will be together for infinity and beyond if you can't trust him to watch a sport then there's something seriously wrong with you but this absolutely hails in comparison to the next set of verbal diarrhea that we're about to be forced to listen to who do you think it is the voice inside of you who do you think it is okay so [ __ ] this is a genuine response for me kindly [ __ ] you Buzz Lightyear is not a [ __ ] he is by no means a stupid character stop portraying him as some airheaded buffoon I better not see any more of the guards later in this film I swear to God Buzz knows what a conscience is he has made Intelligent Decisions before throughout every single installment in this franchise there is no way in the world he wouldn't have any idea what a person's inner voice is nor would he be stupid enough to interpret this concept as your voice box Cooley listen to me you absolute clownfish Buzz has used his buttons before he knows what they do remember that whole diatribe that I gave earlier about how masterfully that I will go sailing no more Scene is crafted yeah one of the things that happens in that scene is that buzz hears the toy in the commercial say a pre-recorded voice line and then he pushes one of the buttons on his chest himself to confirm his suspicions the first thing Bonnie did when she got him in Toy Story 3 was push the Buns on his chest on top of every other other instance in this series where those buttons have been pressed he knows what these things do he would never in a million years interpret a conscience as the voice box inside of him that is so far beyond ridiculous it's actually insulting to think about but as if that wasn't bad enough to test out this little hypothesis Buzz pushes one of the buttons on his chest why in the holy hell would he do that you two are sitting in an RV that is so quiet you could hear a pin drop the fact that the parents don't hear you talking right now is already an absolute Miracle why would you try to Press Your Luck any further and push one of the buttons on your chest when there is literally no reason to but the stupidity doesn't even stop there because the parents don't hear Buzz they don't react at all they don't turn around and see what happened they don't say hey what was that they don't have any reaction to this deafening sound effect that should be assaulting their eardrums which is even more baffling when later in the movie these very same parents get annoyed by Buzz talking too much and Magnum sends Pearl to try to shut him up none of the other toys wake up either what is happening right now you can't explain this garbage away with oh we just dialing down the volume here no listen to how loud this is oh but wait it gets worse because it is revealed that fourth place has slipped out of Bonnie's grasp and then the literal five seconds between Woody guarding Ford face and now when he wasn't paying attention he somehow wobbled his way to the back of the RV and climbed all the way up onto the seat how did that happen how did he jump that high how did he get that far that quickly How did Woody not see this in his peripheral vision how is he even holding on to this scene when he has pipe cleaners his arms then he starts yammering on about how he's a toy with absolutely no compunctions whatsoever about keeping quiet but the parents still don't hear him are we sure they're actually alive up there is it possible we're in the cars universe and the RV is driving itself because I don't see any other way for these people to not hear all this Insanity going on unless they're literally deaf oh wait I forgot these people have debunked the pixel 3 with their commentary so that's not happening speaking of which got anything insightful to say for this scene the idea was at the beginning of the movie it kind of implied he was lonely because both people wasn't around no shut up he has his friends from Andy's room he has the toys he got along nicely with from Bonnie's room he has Bullseye he has Jesse he has Buzz Light year The Toy he promised to be with for infinity and beyond what do you mean he's lonely without Bo P he was just fine in Toy Story 3 without her he may have had a moment of sad and reflection but that doesn't mean he hadn't moved on he was doing just fine get out of here with this insane Carriage motivation you keep pacing onto one of you stupid movie also hold on you left the window open you didn't close it after you tossed a bin out earlier the parents never closed this thing really are you kidding me and it's only because of all those things that four face is able to jump out the window and get swept away causing Woody to have a panic attack hey Woody remember earlier when you got rid of the trash can yeah well if you never did that and kept it in the RV guess what four face would have never jumped out the window because he would have still had a trash can inside the vehicle to reside in safely and the film would have stopped immediately Woody is not this stupid he would never have done this in the original trilogy why do you keep writing all the old characters with half the IQ that they used to have alright so Woody jumps out the window to go on a rescue mission to retrieve the new favorite toy that got flung out previously and after getting to his feet Woody starts calling out forkface's name to try to find where he is but that doesn't make any sense because he doesn't want to be found he doesn't want to go back to the RV so why would he bother responding to what his call outs there is literally no chance in the world what he could possibly find forfeits in the vast Wilderness he finds him after about five seconds because he got stuck in the dirt awesome of all the angles this sport could have landed out after cartwheeling through the air he just so happened to land at the perfect angle at the perfect spot on the ground for his head to get stuck in the dirt because if he didn't land at that exact angle so he'd be unable to move anywhere there is absolutely no chance that Woody would have ever found him quality riding here folks and so the Journey Back to the RV begins proper as Woody begrudgingly drags four faces sorry sticks back to Bonnie while he begs Woody to carry him to which he says Nah his vocabulary has apparently significantly Advanced Beyond just the word trash since the last time we saw him because now he's fully capable of engaging in a detailed conversation with Woody about why he has to be a toy and how Bonnie loves him and he needs to be there in order to help her create lifelong happy memories and then and I need you to listen to me very carefully for this one instead of Woody telling four face said he needs to be there for Bonnie when she needs him he says that he needs to be there for Andy which doesn't make any sense at all because aside from the fact that he has never not once ever made that mistake in this film and aside from the fact that he has never not once ever made this mistake in any form of Toy Story media taking place between Toy Story 3 and 4 literally seconds ago you said Bonnie's name throughout this conversation with absolutely no trouble or hesitation yet magically now you've fallen for the most embarrassingly stupid Freudian slip of your life are you kidding me how did that happen and don't even try to say oh come on it's just a slip of the tongue what's the big deal because and you may not believe me when I say this the fact that Woody has accidentally said the name Andy instead of Bonnie In This Moment is going to define the climax of this film no I am not lying I am not kidding please believe me here the climax and in turn the resolution of this film is mechanically incapable of occurring in the manner that it does if Woody doesn't make a slip of the tongue in this moment and the fact that he does make it is absolutely absurd so please remember this for later then Ford face asks who Andy is and what he starts to explain his history with him essentially recapping the events the original trilogy to the stupid Spork and thus sweet yet there's stupid dialogue so he thought Andy's room was a planet wow out that is messed up it wasn't Buzz so stupid in the first movie thinking he was a Space Ranger huh I swear to God Don't You Dare Forget this style I will be coming back to this stupid scene later oh wait you didn't think we were done hearing moronic dialogue in the senior did you well you find yourself sitting in a closet feeling useless yeah your purpose fulfilled exactly oh my God shut up stop talking can't with this garbage you were not sitting in a closet feeling useless the stupid clock explicitly said it's the third time you haven't been picked this week that is three out of seven days in a week when you weren't being played with compared against the plethora of instances we've already seen Bonnie play with you oh no whatever what you do with yourself also to imply that he's just been sitting around the closet not doing anything is completely disingenuous because they already established at the beginning of the movie that the only reason they were all in the closet was because when Mom quickly cleaned means the bedroom like that expect to be put in the closet Bonnie played with you four years between Toy Story three and four hell she played with you in this movie both during the opening montage and in the road trip Montage what are you talking about you aren't making any sense you are not useless your purpose has not been fulfilled you were literally helping Bonnie create happy memories as of a few hours ago get out of here with this garbage also remember the ending of Toy Story 3 remember how hopeful and optimistic it was remember how it was portrayed as a happy event that Woody was being passed on to Bonnie and Andy had grown up yeah well nah actually that ending was the big bad it was all sad and depressing and not optimistic in the slightest we need a new ending for this series apparently because the people who wrote this stupid movie actively hated them well perhaps I'm getting a little ahead of myself again moving on forkface calls Woody trash and in response he asked him why he loves the trash so much which is stupid because he already explained this one scene ago I was made for soup salad maybe chili and then the trash did you already forget that why are you asking him about why he's obsessed with trash when we already went over this earlier anyway Woody says that fork faces Bonnie's trash and just like that his identity crisis is over yup that's that easy when he just had to call him trash and suddenly he understands that money loves him and needs him misses him dearly and thus he needs to get back to her immediately it has quite literally been 10 minutes of screen time between four faces introduction and the resolution of his existential crisis when it took Buzz almost the entire movie to understand that he was a toy and even longer than that to actually come to terms with his identity this is absolutely pathetic writing who will prove this abomination of a script whatever moving on they conclude their conversation and start running off down the highway to catch up with Bonnie and by the time they get to the town the RV is parked and it looks like barely any time has passed a dollar judging by the lighting the sun is basically just as ready to rise now as it was when they were still on the Highway look how far away they are do you understand how long it would take toys to travel this distance according to the GPS they were 5.32 miles away from their next stop when Woody jumped out the window it would take a normal healthy human at least two hours to travel that distance on foot these two toys would have been on the road for way way longer than that and yet they seemingly just teleport into the town because consistency is not something the script is very good at I don't know if you've noticed that throughout this analysis so far but you better hold on real tight because we are about to get one of the most contrived analogical pieces of writing I have ever seen in any movie ever so Woody and Fork face start running off to the RV Park in the distance but Woody suddenly stops dead in his tracks because he notices something on the ground and the camera pans out to reveal a pattern of Lights projected onto the road which Woody recognizes as something he's seen before thus causing him to turn around and look up to reveal Bo Peep's lamp just chilling in the window of this antique store which is just it's ah okay so aside from the fact that out of every store in the entire world Bo Peep just happened to end up at the one what he stumbled into aside from the fact that of all the places in the country Bonnie's parents could have taken her to on their road trip they just so happened to take her to an RV park that's right next to this store aside from the fact that it doesn't make any sense at all for these lights to be projected downward towards the road given how this lamp is shown to us aside from the fact that there's no way these lights would catch your attention when you should be laser focused on getting four face back to Bonnie in time and you wouldn't think anything is out of place from this angle and aside from the fact that even if you did notice the lights there's no way you'd connect the dots that these are Bo peeps lamplights when the only way you could even have a remote chance of making the connection is from this angle and Woody would only be able to see it from this angle you don't even know for sure that that is your boat peep since there's no way she was the only living version of that lamp set that is insanity that is so far beyond the realm of contrived nonsense but hey don't take my word for it because for as much as I could not believe my ears when I first heard this commentary track our favorite director and producer have some very enlightening things to say during this scene it actually doesn't make any sense at all why the dappled lights are being projected onto the ground there's nothing that shows that that should be happening but you just kind of buy it I like pointing out how our movie doesn't work if you really break it down none of this makes any sense no you did not mishear that no I did not edit that clip that was the director of Toy Story 4 openly candidly unironically admitting that his movie doesn't make any sense and it does not work that's just do you even need me anymore do you even need me to point out how this movie is broken when the director has already confessed to it in his own commentary track I suppose I do because somebody out there is going to employ death of the author and completely disregard what they said in a desperate attempt to establish this dying cancer patient of a film so let's keep kicking on with the plot upon noticing Bo Peep slam what he decides to completely ignore Bonnie in his quest to return Fork face to Bonnie and instead jump through the mail slot with him to investigate the antique store in search of Bo Peep Woody what are you doing you are at an RV park next to a carnival that you are going to be staying at for at least a day you can return to this antique store so look for Bo Peep anytime but you have no idea what's waiting for you in there right now anything can happen to unravel your plans to return Ford face safely to Bonnie get him back now return to the Antique shop later this is not complicated and besides Woody literally jumped out of an RV barreling down the highway at top speed to rescue Fort face and now all of a sudden you're gonna completely abandon your quest remember the last scene when you were chewing for face out for not wanting to go back to Bonnie and literally dragging him along with you to get back what is happening in the script moving on Woody and Fork race start aimlessly wandering around the Antiques so we're calling out Bo's name in the hopes that she'll be in the store and after a few minutes at best they probably give up but not before Fork face Delights our ears with this dribble so then they decide to abandon the Bo Peep side quest and return to the main mission of returning four face to Bonnie which should have been what you did in the first place but oh no a pram suddenly appears and begins to Round the Corner headed toward our heroes and so what he hurries died himself in fourth face away but of all the objects in this shot that he could have used as a hiding spot he chooses to slightly translucent vase making it very easy for whoever's driving that pram to spot them even if they're just casually glancing in their Direction awesome glad to see your intelligence demonstrated in the first three movies is still intact for this one awesome you love to see it the pram walks by the location and then Fork faces stupid bendy glitter written sporked up mouth says is that bow because of this Spork were any slower he needed to be watered once a week and so their cover is blown and then they [Music] as if this film wasn't already disturbing enough we had to add creepy ventriloquist dolls into the mix because why not also the dummy spots would immediately because this face is translucent yeah maybe you should have picked literally any other object to hide behind you idiots yes four fish shouldn't have opened his stupid mouth but it also wouldn't have mattered if Woody hadn't picked the single worst hiding spot since Veruca from Danganronpa 3. so now left with no choice the two have to step out of cover and pray that appearances truly can be deceiving but we don't really get to know him all that much for the time being because it's now time to be introduced to our villain of the movie she is honestly one of the most horrifically evil characters we have ever crossed paths with in the Toy Story universe and that is really saying something but don't worry still get a section of this analysis dedicated entirely to her in about two hours from now for now let's keep moving on with the plot the two creepy demons introduce themselves announce their names to Woody and Fort face but I don't care because I'm going to be calling them Annabelle and Chucky regardless Woody tells animal that the Ford faces the creation of their kid which surprises her as apparently toys around here don't have kids leading her to ask if they're lost to which they say no but that they are looking for Bo who is a lost toy which I know she's not you were a lost toy in the first movie Lotso was a lost toy in the third movie Bo Peep was consciously donated away after Molly outgrew her and the Disney plush short lamp life makes it clear that she kept being consciously donated throughout each sub of her journey and we're going to come back to this short a little bit later she's not lost she just belongs to a different owner now whatever well what he is talking about Bo the camera Zooms in on the shiny plate behind him which is acting as a mirror thus allowing Annabelle to see the Woody has a pull string and as a result of noticing this she realizes that she really needs to get Woody into her pram before he leaves and so she tells him that she knows exactly where Bo Peep is even though that's obviously a lie and so Chucky Chucks the toys into Annabelle's pram and they continue on their quest to find both Peak [Music] really you're playing the music from The Shining could you be any more on the nose than this why not throw some stuck horse and effects in there while you're at it maybe a Ouija board how about we run up the stairs instead of running out the front door and as the final nail in the coffin why don't we bring home a possessed toy oh wait you already took care of that one what is the script what am I watching is this still a Toy Story movie because I'm really not so sure anymore Annabelle asked what he won he was made any answers by saying he was made in the late 50s which I'm pretty sure is the first time in this film The Writer's ax has successfully nailed a piece of continuity well I guess except for the fact that the toys are still with Bonnie at the start of the film so that's two pieces of continuity nailed I guess but hey even a broken clock is right twice a day it turns out that Annabelle was also made in the late 50s what a kawinky dink she compliments Woody on how he's in such great condition to which he says well I try to stay active which is just I don't what remember five minutes ago when you were whining the fourth face about how all you do is sit in the closet all day and feel useless what happened to that sob story look the fact that he said that doesn't make any sense given the information the film has provided us but if Woody thinks that's true for some stupid reason then how exactly does he think he's staying active will simultaneously believing and he's just sitting in the closet feeling useless was anybody working on continuity in the script or did you just Stitch the scene together in the hopes that nobody would notice that none of this makes any sense oh yeah we'll be coming back for this quote as we progress through this story thank you you defective mushrooms for candidly admitting how broken your script is it's so kind of you to make my job all that much easier anyway if you haven't figured out by now based on Annabelle's line of questioning in the consistent emphasis being placed on what he's polstering she's trying to see if their internal mechanisms are compatible because she wants to steal his voice box and use it for herself because hers is broken and I'm sorry but this makes no sense at all even if we completely disregard the physical process that they have to go through to successfully extract the toys voice box which is nowhere near as simple as this film wants you to think it is why would Woody's voice box be in any way compatible with a completely different toy you might be able to stretch it such that Woody and Jesse share the same voice box since they were made as part of the same toy line but Woody is a cowboy Ragdoll Annabelle is more akin to something like a Raggedy Ann doll it doesn't make any sense for these two to have and are working so similar that swapping Parts would go off without a hitch but hey don't take my word for it take theirs yeah for people to believe her voice box could be fixed by Woody's voice box we had to simplify that in a way where it wasn't too much of a leap for people to try to think through how that might work yeah they had to completely remove all the Nuance around in the construction of a toy and pretend like this process would be as simplistic as straightforward as swallowing around Potato Head Parts well sorry movie but your deceptive garbage isn't gonna fool me this doesn't make any sense your script is full of baloney so then when he realizes that his moronic plan to try to find bows got himself trapped in yet another situation where he's in danger of being horribly mutilated but it's too late because three more Chucky dolls magically teleport into the scene because that's what this movement needed more creepy dolls awesome but just as Woody is about to meet his violent and the owner of the antique store just so happens to walk through the doors along with her daughter and granddaughter thus causing animal to be distracted long enough for Woody to grab four face and jump out of the frame to escape this is all so tiring this entire script is running entirely unlocking contrivance how lucky that four face just so happened to get his head stuck in the ground when he could have landed at any angle how lucky that would he happen to stumble into him in the vast Wilderness when he could have landed anywhere how lucky did on their way back to Bonnie they just so happened to end up in front of the one store in the world that currently has Bo Peep how lucky that Woody happened to bump into animal on their way out of the shop and how freaking lucky that literal seconds before Woody was about to be torn to shreds for his voice box the one girl in the world the animal has a crush on just so happened to walk through the doors also what is his positioning for the dummies why are you all crowding around the back of the pram why don't you both move slightly forward to block the side to make it as hard as possible for Woody to escape so he doesn't just exactly oh my God I can't take this trash anymore it's literally a bright sunny day outside and for some reason this girl decided that she wanted to spend her day inside the stupid antique store wait it's a bright sunny day outside wait wait wait what you that happened two minutes ago that someone's just getting ready to rise not all of a sudden it's mid-morning I don't until time works did the Earth take steroids between scenes and it started spinning around faster did you send Superman to fly around the planet at Super luminal speeds what just happened you may notice there's a huge time Jump here from four in the morning to now it's eight o'clock in the morning I think that maybe they were searching I don't think people would have noticed that unless you called it out Josh well movie Magic stop stop stop that was too much brain cancer per second okay first of all these hacks are fully aware of the time Jump and didn't do diddlers Squad about it why not just have them arrive when the sun was up it would actually make this whole situation a lot more believable given the sheer amount of distance they had to travel if it took them longer than it did to make the journey a lot longer in fact why would you not just have them arrive then all right because then there's even less of a reason for winning to notice the reflection of both land because he wouldn't be able to see them on the ground when it's bright and sunny out almost like he wrote himself into a corner only instead of doing the sensible thing and going back to try to fix your story you forced the sun to be just about Rising so when you can see the lights in this scene and then Force the clock to randomly Jump Ahead four hours so you can have this little girl come watching him when the shop opens at this exact moment you wanted to have your cake and eat it too and you prayed no one would notice you take a bite well guess what we did notice and your trickery didn't work second maybe they were searching around for a while no that doesn't work the lighting in this store is very noticeably altered when the Sun rises and it was 100 consistent until this one specific shot you might have been able to get away with that excuse had you shown the store slowly get brighter the longer they kept searching but you didn't it's still just as dark here as it was from when they enter the store until it magically switches for this shot but finally and most importantly I don't think people would have noticed that unless you called it out Josh well movie Magic no shut up can it right now stop it with this monumentally stupid idea that people don't notice these things I'm sorry that you think your audience is so brain dead that they don't notice things so blatantly obviously like the time of day magically changing from dark as your soul to Brightest you Santa but I hate to break it to you the audience isn't this stupid I know you think that you made that Crystal Clear when you admitted that none of this makes any sense and didn't make an effort to fix it because you just assumed no one would notice any of this stuff and just try to explain it away by saying movie Magic or in other words you screw the pooch big time and now you're trying to compensate buzz off you stupid movie the director and producer of this film just admitted that they don't think your perceptive enough to notice these glaring issues I'm not going to stand for this garbage and you shouldn't either and so the Chase Begins after a cell of three seconds of animal not doing anything to order the Chucky doll so she's after him but oh no woody gets his boots stuck between the keys of a typewriter but thankfully he managed to pull both his boot free and upon being launched backward have his boot land on Fork faces head at the exact angle it needed to to send them both falling between the aisles how lucky and so they continue running away but somehow every single Chucky doll forces the way down this tiny cramped Island pursuit of them I don't know how in the world they managed to squeeze their massive bodies through but this is fine whatever moving on Woody topples over the stack and loses his grip on Fork fish but he quickly regains it willing to discover that he somehow slipped out of his arms what how did that happen it's not like the arms untangle themselves on the body it's still perfectly intact what he would have had to literally Slide the arms up his body and over his head for this to work but that doesn't make any sense how did his mouth and eyes not fall off without flimsy they were demonstrated to be earlier when no one was even touching them how did this even happen when he only had a hold of one end of his arms with what they show us what do he grabbed four faces left arm and then kept running this should have just yanked the spork along with Woody and he would have been dragged behind him how did this happen oh I know because they cheat they cheat with how these shots are presented to the audience it happens lightning fast because they clearly don't want you to notice it but watch this scene in slow motion Woody grabs his arm here and his entire body is swept up along with Woody which is exactly what would happen but then they cut to the very next shot hoping you didn't actually notice what happened here and then magically his arms have slid off this will not be the last time this film sheets with a presentation of its shots to try to convince you that something makes sense when it just straight up doesn't so please keep this trickery in mind for later so the dolls grab hold of the arms and pull him away from Woody causing him the trip and leaving him seconds away from being grabbed by the dolls what does he do well he notices the little girl from earlier and then he first I'm going to say [Music] what how did that work it makes sense that the girl would instinctively turn toward a strange noise she heard but the dolls just disappear in the center after he does this why where did it go because it looks like they just teleported out of the scene they were here one second and then gone the next where in this room do they disappear to how do they all run away without the girl noticing them and why would they even stop chasing Woody if they can teleport away from the scene this quickly then why didn't they just grab Woody when he was right in front of them and then take him with him before he disappeared none of this makes any sense what is happening in the script who wrote this anyway the little girl immediately falls in love with Woody and asks her grandma politely if she can take him home and she says yes the spider mom's reluctance and I feel like I've been in this exact situation in my life way too many times to count so my process of elimination we shall Crown the grandmas the best character since there's no way in the world are going to get me to care about your new piles of garbage that you call characters when you're systematically murdering all the old ones but then perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself again so the girl takes Woody home and the Chucky doll reminds the audience that he's evil by creepily peeking his cemented head up over the window to allow Woody to see that they still have Fort face awesome this book that Mom is reading right there it says Beyond Infinity debunking the crazy theory of a shared universe or something like that yeah so remember earlier when I mentioned how the people who made this movie Revel in making fun of the people who theorize about Pixar films this was just the goal to destroy the Pixar theory not to mention earlier in the commentary where he frustratingly said that's not boo in the background and yet another instance later where he says that might be boo I don't know I don't think it is yeah maybe not in case you're not getting it let me spell it out for you these people hate the fact that there was an avid group of Pixar fans who love to theorize about their movies they preemptively brace for the possibility of people asking whether certain character models were almost too similar to be a coincidence are meant to be the same person and are audibly annoyed that they even have to address the topic at all they openly say without a hint of sarcasm or subsequent laughs that they are trying to destroy the Pixar theory and then seconds later laugh like a maniacal Disney villain about how clever they are for naming a book essentially straight up calling the Pixar theory crazy any yes it's entirely possible that he's lying about what that book says I certainly wouldn't put it past him at this point after all we can't actually verify it since we cannot read what this cover says but whether the book actually says what he claims it does or if he's lying it does not matter either way it's still him voicing his beliefs about the Pixar theory and in case you are completely lost right now and have absolutely no idea what I'm even talking about then allow me to provide some context the Pixar theory is the idea that every Pixar movie ever released is just one piece of a larger overarching timeline that begins with brave and ends with Monsters Inc I'm not gonna go into excruciating detail about all this because we'd be here all day there is a lot to dissect about this but if you're interested in learning more then you can check out the website of the guy who originally concocted the Pixar theory John Negroni in the description below alternatively if you'd be more enticed by a video version of the theory then I will also provide a link to the super Carlin Brothers video presenting a slightly more truncated version hitting on all the major beats of the Pixar 3 for ease of consumption or if you'd rather listen to the video in song form you could also listen to the Pixar Theory song for a lyrical version of a bullet point list for the core fundamentals the theory and just so we're crystal clear about this I am not a proponent of the Pixar theory in fact I think that this thing is built on nothing but straw because it depends on certain Easter eggs being absolutely essential deliberate clues that are meant to link the films together such as there being a carving of Sully in the witch's huts and she's also supposed to be a time traveling Boo or the continued presence of companies such as dynaco or by and large or Pizza Planet due to the fact that you see one of their trucks in every single Pixel movie no matter how instantly obscure its placement may be or this postcard in Andy's room establishing the existence of Carl and Ellie in the Toy Story Universe while simultaneously dismissing certain Easter eggs such as A Bug's Life showing up as a storybook as a calendar and as a toy line in Toy Story 2 or boo having a Nemo toy or Doc Hudson showing up in The Incredibles despite the Pixar theory declaring that there's a difference of almost two centuries between these films and this car would be a pile of rust at this point or Nemo sticker in Toy Story 3 or picture of Darla and Molly's tween magazine in Toy Story 3 or the exact same tapestry that's present in Brave and Cars 2 or in Arlo toy Monsters University or blatant Finding Nemo reference that no one would have any concept of an inside out or figment the goddamn dragon or Captain America's shield or Riley being president Finding Dory at the same age as Inside Out despite yet another blatant time discrepancy or Sully's ferbing uses a cover for a toilet seat and Party Source rex or Woody Buzz of microzowski being pinatas and Coco just by the ladder not being a character that would exist from the two millennia all right I think I get the idea dismissing all those that silly meaningless funnily Easter eggs and I'm sorry but you cannot draw an arbitrary line between which of these are meant to be Easter eggs you're supposed to think are meant for fun and what your actual in Universal links between films was absolutely no consistent standard whatsoever and expect me to think that this Theory holds up under even the slightest amount of scrutiny and I am telling you this because I want to make it crystal clear that I have absolutely no stake in this Theory being correct I am not coming at this from the perspective of someone who's upset that their theory was proven false in fact the writers telling me that the theory is crazy is only a boon to my position about it being built on straw but I'm telling you all this because my position on whether or not this Theory holds any water whatsoever is literally irrelevant because this is about how these writers are addressing Pixar fans some of whom may very well have been around since 1995 and you are directly spinning in their faces by tearing down their speculations and theories for no reason other than your pride in stark contrast to other pixel directors such as Pete doctor with his unblemished record of directing Monsters Inc Up Inside Out in Seoul who actively contribute to the discussion surrounding the theories you are sitting there laughing up a storm about how cool it is that you guys have made it your mission to destroy the Pixar 3 and how crazy fans are for believing in it there is a very very sizable portion of Pixar's fan base that loves speculating about potential theories for the series of movies both in terms of theories that are confined within the universe of a given movie and theories that attempt to link the films together into one giant timeline to tell one huge story I am not a proponent of this idea but you will never hear me to cry or in any way impugn the creativity and thoroughness of Pixar theorists are capable of but if you're Josh cool and you just talk like a maniacal Disney villain and say look at these foolish Mortals scrambling like ants caught in a rainstorm trying to grasp with any straw that they can to prove the existence of their laughable Pixar Affinity well I'll show them I'll show them all a little my move with more Easter eggs and any previous picks off of a naked of selling points to prove how much better I am than other pixel directors and to destroy the Pixar theory so these theorists stop posting their speculations into my story once and for all who can stop me now all right maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration but my point still stands imagine if the writers of any other highly theorizable franchise would look so callously laugh about the insanity of the theories of their fan base imagine if team salvato saw people's theories about project libertine and struck them down insulting people for even trying to figure it out imagine if the people uploading Creepypasta Style videos like pet scop or local 58 were to go through their comments and call them out for speculating on the meaning of some of these videos imagine if the megas of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared did this imagine if bendy did this imagine if and I can't believe I'm saying this imagine if NBC or Jeff rake ever spoke out against their fans for having the passion for their story to want to speculate on what it means and where it might go in the future manifest is doing a better job of this than you are let that sink in for a moment and could you even imagine if Scott cawthon ever ever demanded that people stop theorizing about the story of his games the FNAF franchise would have died immediately oh you know how I mentioned dhmis earlier well as it turns out there was actually an interview that was conducted with the showrunners and what did they have to say about theorists we have read a lot of theories online about what it all means and they are all correct because YouTubers making a passion project for fun fund it out of their own Pockets have a better understanding of how to address fan theories and the people that craft them than professional directors and producers working for the most successful Animation Studio in the world it's actually pathetic so not only do they think their casual fans are brain dead enough to not notice the glaring problems with their movie but they also think that they're hardcore theorist fans are straight up insane for believing in a shared universe theory congratulations you talentless Muppets you pissed off yet another group of people watching these films I truly don't know how you do it well I guess we should finally return to the plot and see how much more the script can run itself off a cliff cutting back to the rest of the toys who what he left in the RV they've attempted to conceal four-faces absence by doing it Over the Hedge and swapping at this work for a metal spoon and I do not understand what in the world they thought they were going to accomplish by doing this literally what was the point Bonnie wasn't going to notice that her face wasn't in her hand while she was asleep because she was you know asleep she would have been too lost in a dream to notice anything or even if she wasn't dreaming she would still be unconscious the reason why RJ has to swap out the can of sweaties and over the hedges because to remove it from Vincent's grip is to change the state of his body if you remove the can without replacing it his hand will move from tightly grips to open and Limp so the idea is to replace it with something of similar shape and weight so it sleeps like it wouldn't be interrupted but you aren't trying to replace fordface with something else who you're trying to retroactively Place something in her hand hours after she lost a spork Fork face fell out of her hand because her grip naturally loosened as she adjusted in the booster seat if she didn't wake up to notice he was gone after he was initially lost and she didn't wake up after her parents apparently relocated her from her booster seat to the bed then there is absolutely no way she was going to realize that forfeits was missing until she woke up and please don't tell me you think the reason that they put the spoon there so that she still thinks that she had a fork face after she woke up because that makes even less sense as evidenced by what happens in this movie She immediately realizes that a metal spoon is not not the same thing as a plastic Sport with a face mouth arms and feet this was never going to work she was obviously going to realize that four face was gone the instant she opened her eyes whether there was a spoon in her bed or not so it just makes you wonder why they bothered doing this in the first place what did you think this was going to accomplish what was the point also there's just this little blink and you miss a detail that I find extremely interesting a major plot Point earlier in the film is that the writer's desperately desperately want you to believe that Bonnie loves Jesse more than she loves Woody and yet you can clearly see that she's chosen to write her name on both Woody and Buzz but Jesse's boot is entirely clean which is doubly interesting because not only did she not write her name on any of them for years meaning this had to be a recent development but also that she painted over Andy's name and didn't write her own name as a replacement on the toy that they want you to believe she loves more than Woody Awesome Moving on Bonnie wakes up and has a panic attack because Fork faces gone to her parents take her outside to look for him which doesn't make any sense at all because Bonnie's been asleep all night and was holding on to him once she went to bed and since they don't know the toys are alive how exactly do they think the spork made its way outside all right they're leaving so the toys can have an excuse to come alive in and carry on with the plot awesome so then Buzz tells everyone that Woody was right all along and they all should have been looking after four face and this should be the moment after staring her kid directly in the face and witnessing with her own eyes how distraught Bonnie gets without this stupid Spork where Dolly apologizes for being a complete I can't say but nah she never apologizes for how she acted her for how wrong she was and absolutely nobody holds her accountable for her actions I certainly hope they're on any other characters moving forward that aren't held accountable for their actions they're much much much more Despicable actions that would be awkward but it's not just Dolly who's at fault here I mean she's undoubtedly the biggest Defender given how needlessly rude and dismissive she was but nobody other than Buzz even offered to help Woody with four face nor do they take him seriously at all when he told them all how important four face was to her which is insane because as I already mentioned earlier he knows his kid better than anyone he always has and he always will that factor that took until now for everyone else to realize how important this Fork was to Bonnie is ridiculous anyway the other toys start freaking out and crowding around Buzz asking you what to do only instead of treating this like a serious situation they just but what do we do we do buzz but what do we do what do we do like I don't what are you doing what is this scene you've never acted like this before you've never cartoonishly circled around buzz and begging him to tell you what to do what is happening but the way the other toys reacts to Woody not having returned with four faces like a slap on the wrist compared to how Buzz acts in this scene Buzz Lightyear is mentally overwhelmed by all the toys asking him what to do he just sits by the window like a dazed penguin staring off into space with his mouth hung open as if he literally cannot process what is happening around him but then as if that wasn't bad enough Buzz does this it's a secret mission and uncharted's race let's go I have to go are you kidding me are you actually kidding me this is what you've done with Buzz Lightyear hey remember in Toy Story 3 when all the toys were getting hysterical and he took charge of the situation this surge was right yeah and when he was wrong wait a minute away hold on this is no time to be hysterical should we be hysterical no yes maybe but not right now and really you're just making him push the buttons on his chest to tell him what to do you can't just let him think for himself what are you doing what is this scene what have you done to Buzz's character okay you know what no we're stopping this dead on its tracks I briefly alluded to this earlier but I'm not gonna be brief about anything anymore I refuse to let this stand Buzz Lightyear's character is assassinated in this film he's mercilessly eviscerated the person he is in this movie is not even kind of comparable to the person he was in the original trilogy he was remarkably intelligent in those first two movies in fact I might even go as far as to say that he's the smartest character in the entire series and if your knee-jerk responds to me saying that his lulbas wasn't Annie in the first movie so he thought Andy's room was a planet wow that is messed up well how could he be shut the hell up you ridiculous person people have unironically said this before and I swear to God if I see even one more person's for this Veronica sentiment around I'm gonna blow a gasket if you think that this is a perfectly acceptable counter argument to the idea that buzz is an intelligent character then sit down and listen up while I explain to you how buzzles portrayed in the original trilogy and how much Toy Story 4 butchered him without a care in the world you are correct about one thing and one thing only when buzzerrise in Andy's room he believes that he has crash landed on an Uncharted planet and so he makes a lot of decisions that don't quite make sense with the information that we have for instance he tries to repair his cardboard spaceship he freaks out and thinks that he's gonna suffocate to death when Woody lifts his helmet he thinks the crane game is an actual rocket ship etc etc but the reason why you and I realize that those are silly events to occur is because we have the benefit of knowledge that he is really a toy that his spaceship is made out of cardboard that he's on Earth and that this is a pizzeria with an arcade and intelligence is not measured by how much knowledge someone has that's why knowledge and intelligence are two different words in the dictionary you can be an intelligent person but still lack information that is necessary for you to make proper decisions so you can call Buzz ignorance for believing that he is a real Space Ranger but you cannot call him stupid for it especially when that is how he is programmed Buzz freaking out upon his helmet being opened is a logical response if you believe that you are on an Uncharted plan with a potentially toxic atmosphere in fact with the information the bus is available to him he actually makes incredibly smart choices throughout the entirety of the first film he believes that his ship has been broken and so he sets up a rudimentary repair station and makes use of the materials he has available to him to try to fix it when Woody and buzzer hitching a ride aboard the space freighter the two have this exchange of dialogue well then let's climb a board no let's get in the back no one will see us there negative there are no restraining harnesses in the cargo area will be much safer in the cockpit remember Buzz doesn't think he needs to freeze in front of all humans just Andy is that is a part of what he considers to be the culture of Andy's room as far as he's concerned the only danger involved in getting into the space freighter is the turbulence that you may experience throughout the journey so he chooses to steal away in the location where he can safely secure himself to prepare for said turbulence a minute later when they arrive at Pizza Planet he says this now the entrance is heavily guarded we need a way to get inside he understands the need to take precautions so that they are not spotted when trying to sneak into the Spaceport even the idea to use the cup and food container as disguises is his idea because the only reason what he has this on his head is because he was tossed around during the ride Buzz realizes a daunting task at hand sees the cup and then realizes aha we can use these things to hide as we sneak in and the hits just keep on coming and since house Buzz's first reaction upon being surrounded by cannibals is to die for cover and immediately call for backup because he understands that he and really likely can't fend them off by himself it is only after calling for backup and not getting a response that he resorts to needing to fight them off by himself and setting his laser from stun to kill he knows that he is in serious danger and he believes that his laser is a fully functional weapon he is using literally every resource available to him in this unfamiliar location to try to protect himself and Woody more evidence sure why not when Woody notices that the daughter said's room is open he's ecstatic and blinded by the possibility of being able to escape once and for all but Buzz is more reserved and cautious saying that what if you don't know what's out there Buzz doesn't want to jump into the unknown when he's in Uncharted Territory with absolutely no insulin what potentially dangerous creatures could be waiting outside for them and when a predator was poised to attack them his instinct is for the two of them split up because scud can't chase both of them at once and that is a full summation of every single major decision Buzz makes throughout the first movie basically when he comes up with the plan to use his wings to break the seal on the rocket and saving both their lives or whatever and they were all very smart and reasonable decisions to make given the information he knows the situation sees in and the resources he has available to him he may be ignorant to the fact that he is a toy but a person's ignorance is not equivalent to their intelligence so stop shoving that excuse down my throat because it doesn't hold up under even the slightest amount of scrutiny but I'm not even done proving that buzz is a smart character yet we still got two more movies to go friends because for some insane reason there was a disturbing number of people on this plan that genuinely believe that Buzz Lightyear was never a smart character and I am so far beyond sick of seeing the sentiment circulating so let's crush this defense into pieces once and for all the core conflict in Toy Story 2 is that Woody is kidnapped by Al and the toys need to rescue him but before they can begin the rescue mission they have to figure out where they even need to go in the first place and who's the one to figure that out Buzz Lightyear he only has two Clues to work with feather that falls out of Al's car and the license plate lz-t-y-b-r-n and that is all it takes to get the job done with just these two pieces of evidence he's able to solve the license plate puzzle to realize that it's short for Al's Toy Barn and uses the feather which indicates the mascot of that toy store to link the two pieces of logic together that is Kyoko kirigiri levels of deductive abilities and this happens within the first 20 minutes of the movie from that point on the one who leads the team to rescue Woody is Buzz he's in charge of the rescue mission and He commands the team every step of the way from the moment they leave the room to the final battle of the airport with the obvious reference being the crossing the street scene the plan to use the traffic cones as it disguise as they cross the road is ingenious and it is entirely Buzz's idea because there's no other way for them to cross without the drivers noticing the toys walking around and even if they don't notice and that's even worse because then they just get run over me delay as evidence by the end of the first movie when the drivers can't see Woody or buzz and they are nearly flattened multiple times as a result but a traffic cone is Big Bright and obvious and impossible to miss giving Jarvis plenty of time to react by either slamming the brakes while swimming around them while being completely unaware that there are sentient toys inside them and throughout the entire scene he is the one issuing commands of determine when it's safe to drop and when it isn't he figures out how to trigger the automatic doors both times the first time he realizes that to replicate the presence of a human they all need to jump simultaneously the second time when he's racing the clock to catch up with Al he quickly analyzes his environment and immediately figures out how to use everything around onto his advantage to try to catch up before the door shut and when that doesn't work he finds other weighted objects to trigger the doors and from the moment that the prospector seals the vents in Al's apartment to the moment that he victoriously hoists him up at the airport Buzz is the one leading the final charge to rescue Woody it's all him issuing commands he instantly orders everyone back to the elevator he advises a way to reach aosuke stealthily from the elevator escape hatch without dropping down himself when he realizes that the only way to catch up to Alan time is to hit the road he instantly figures out how he can use everyone to build this together to collectively be able to drive this truck all by themselves I want to draw extra attention to that one before we move on he figures out a way for a group of toys only one of whom has the full body functionality of a standard human to take all the actions a single human would need to engage and to control this thing and he puts this plan together in a matter of seconds and it is because of that they are successfully able to reach the airport in time leading to him instinctively ordering everyone to split up to look for Woody when the clock is ticking on how long it'll be before they lose those suitcases forever and the final charge to grab the prospect of using the cameras to his Advantage then we have Toy Story 3 when all the toys are stuck in the trash bag Buzz is the one to figure out how to escape by using Rex's tail to break free when he needs to escape the caterpillar room he's the one who notices the transom devises the Escape Plan and commands everyone with the same caliber as he did in the Pizza Planet truck using almost everything in this room to engage in an incredible feat to reach that transom and Escape the Room the result of a plan that was entirely of his making when he reversed the Space Ranger mode he uses his laser to try to break free from the bin because as we recall from the first movie he believes this laser is a viable weapon and when he realizes the laser isn't gonna work he waits for Rex and hand to walk to one side of the bin and then uses the balance offset to his advantage to break free and make a run to the exit at the dump the instance they realize they're on a path leading to death he immediately immediately without hesitation tells everyone to grab onto something magnetic to pull them up to the ceiling and get them out of danger in the small fry shorts oh you didn't think we were stopping at the movies did you oh no no no we're still going even the writers of the five-minute shorts meant to act as opening acts for other movies had a better grasp of Buzz's character than this Meandering buffoon he thinks of a way to deceive the delusional therapy toys by using the grappling hook to escape in Toy Story of Terror he serves as the leader of the team sent to five Mr Potato Head ordering everyone's a divide and conquer to cover as much ground as possible while still keeping a surging buddies there's a lesser chance of getting lost he creates a makeshift zip line out of the shot of resources he has available to him so the team can safely assemble the event above and in Toy Story the time forgot he's the one who deduces the clerics plan all by himself there is absolutely no wiggle room here Buzz Lightyear is not stupid he is incredibly intelligent and there are references throughout the entire Toy Story series that I've used to definitively prove so to take this character who has consistently devised elaborate plans and when said plans go awry has also consistently been able to make smart Split Second decisions when in a situation called for a cool head and turned him into an airheaded slow-witted timid cabbage is nothing short of insulting not just to his character but to every single person around the world who loved Buzz Lightyear and admired his intelligence and his bravado of which he demonstrates neither here his portrayal in this movie is so contradictory to the person we knew and loved from the series prior to this point that you may as well just call him Buzz buzza diddle it but as if that did that enough he has he has buttons on his chest to go look for Woody when he hasn't come back all night buzz off with this garbage no way in the world Buzz would need to be told to go search for his best friend when he needs help remember in the first movie when he didn't even hesitate to put himself in a risk and jump onto Skyland Woody was in danger remember in Toy Story 2 when he sees Woody being kidnapped and leads out the window to get him back without even a second of hesitation or how about Toy Story 3's pulse-pounding climax when Woody's good hearted nature will not allow him to condemn lots of to death even after all the horrors he committed in the tyrannical society that he crafted under the guise of Sunnyside daycare he won't let him get shredded up because that is how kind-hearted he is so he drops down from the safety of the magnet and risks his life to free Lata from under the weight of the golf bag but if Woody's gonna put himself on the line to try to free Lotso then so is Buzz it's not even a question there is no thought process here he doesn't even hesitate he immediately drops down because as he puts it Woody once risked his life to save me I couldn't call myself his friend if I were willing to do the same their relationship was consistently phenomenal throughout the series neither one would have left the other behind if they were in danger no matter what they were willing to risk everything for each other and if Woody was going down then Buzz was going to go down with him Buzz never had a single moment of hesitation if Woody was in danger and needed his help so now let's compare these masterful scenes to this schlock okay I have to go so again Cooley this is another genuine response for me kindly [ __ ] you you don't even have the most basic understanding of Buzz's character from any angle and if you do and choose to ignore for the sake of a joke or other malicious reasons then that is even worse and there is no excuse for what you've done here and only a handful of seconds you have destroyed Buzz Lightyear as a character after three Incredible movies of build up and a handful of shorts and tv specials that still manage to keep him consistent and believe it or not he's still not done destroying buzz but we'll get to those scenes later even Jesse doesn't escape this scene on Skate she just stands idly by while Buzz jumps out the window what what are you talking about Jesse was never this passive remember like two hours ago when I was talking about how adventurous she was reveling in the battle with Woody when you begin to action to help Buster leading everyone out of their cells trapping Buzz getting to the playground standing up to Lotso jumping to help Woody in the dumpster fighting fiercely and bravely against the Iguana to save her friends from the hands of Ron I mean for Christ's sake she was enthusiastically egging everyone on to ensure a dinner went well a goddamn dinner you are actually hilarious if you think for even a second that Jesse would be willing to sit around in the RV while Buzz goes on an adventure without her especially given how the relationship was left off at the end of Toy Story 3. who are you people how did you get this job what are you doing to this script no scratch that what are you doing to these characters do you understand what you're doing or do you just not care at all about the irreparable damage that you are dealing to the Toy Story series because you are so desperate to maliciously and meticulously destroy everything that's well perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself again and so Buzz jumps out the window in search of Woody and okay what is with everyone jumping out the window Dolly you ever get a little Waffle not 10 seconds ago you all came to the conclusion of what he was right all along with what Bonnie needed and how important four face was when you spent the entire movie up until this one being condescending to Woody and telling him that he was being over dramatic about forkface you're in absolutely no position to be snarky about what Buzz is doing right now get off your soapbox before your massive ego driven head causes you to lose your balance and fall off the box of your doom so then Buzz runs off into the carnival to search for Woody and then they [Applause] well what do you know it's the same exact music they played in the beginning of Toy Story 2 and buzzer right on zurg's planet how interesting now to the incinerator with it I'm done being subtle about this you know all those instances prior to this point throughout the series and let me assure you there will be many many more instances in the future well I pointed out how the music they played as a one for one replay of a try from the original trilogy well there was a point to all of that and it's finally time to talk about what that point is the only song that was repeated throughout the original trilogy was You've Got a Friend in Me almost every single instrumental piece that played in the background of a dramatic character moment or intense action Secrets was entirely unique to that movie and that movie alone there may be instances within the films when tracks are repeated for dramatic effect for instance the theme that plays during Woody's finest hour on the TV is the same one that plays during Woody's actual finest hour at the airport but each film has entirely unique soundtracks from one another Toy Story 4 on the other hand is almost entirely comprised of tracks that have been used in the original trilogy and that is true from the opening seconds of the film during the logos why is this the case well it's because of a little thing called Nostalgia pandering Nostalgia pandering is in layman's terms the act of taking something from a previous installment in your franchise such as a piece of imagery or iconic character or in this case piece of music that is easily and immediately recognizable and shoving it into your story for the sake of panoring to an audience's Nostalgia it it's essentially a misuse of fan service because believe it or not A simple Act of including fan service in a story does not inherently mean it's bad fan servers can be used to brilliant effect if given the proper in Universe context for it to have more than just superficial meaning but simply playing the soundtrack from an earlier entry in your franchise does not automatically earn your story any points of the narrative justification for the music is built on straw or at worst blatantly insulting to the work that came before it you need more than that for your scene to have substance is the reason why people reacted positively to this scene because it actually had substance in either character or plot to support it or is it simply as shallow as the fact that you are hearing the same music you heard when you were a kid because judging by the comments on the YouTube uploads for these tracks the answer becomes pretty damn clear it really is that shallow there is nothing more to this beyond the fact that they are playing the music that you heard when you were a kid and that's all they were trying to accomplish because it's so easy to do it nowadays why bother putting effort into your scripts when you can just dangle the shiny toys in front of your audience and play The Sounds your brain remembers like when you were a child it's literally as easy as dragging and dropping the track into the editing timeline and calling it a day it's actually pathetic and it is mind-boggling that these people still have the audacity to say this Randy did an amazing job of calling back to themes just enough feels familiar but we're not relying on it to carry the whole scene what do you mean you're not relying on the Nostalgia that's all you've been doing this entire time you just dangle the keys in front of the audience you do the same camera wipes you use the same backgrounds only without the full circle conclusion that Toy Story 3 had and you play the same music tracks from the original trilogies if you're just dragging and dropping and calling it a day you've been doing this since the opening seconds of the damn movie and people's reactions were exactly the same in that scene relying on Nostalgia as all you people know how to do at least own up to it already oh whatever Buzz runs to the carnival and isn't even a little bit concerned that he might be spotted how does nobody see him it's mid-morning at a carnival that is obviously very populated how in the world does nobody see the toy running past them he literally runs out onto the ground of a ride that is currently operational and absolutely nobody spots him actually how does this happen how do the people in line for the ride not see him running how does the right operator not see him how did nobody that just so happens to be walting but I notice him why are the people in this movie totally blind compared to the people from the original trilogy okay so Buzz decides that since Woody and Fortress the last scene along the highway his mission should be to find his way towards the highway and commends the proper search for them there and he's going to accomplish that task by by holding on to the spinning ride and then using it to slingshot himself toward the highway I look Buzz soaring through the air is not the unbelievable part of the scene we know he's been able to fly since the first movie or fall with style as it were the part that makes this plan absolutely ridiculous is the simple question of what are you going to do when you land the plan the first movie was simple Collide far enough to get above the car then drop through the sunroof and land safely on a cushioned surface before being finally reunited with Andy but there is no cushioned seating or padded box to land in here what did you think was going to happen here if you actually managed to soar all the way to the highway you wouldn't have been able to make a proper Landing you would have either bonked into a tree and exploded instantly or skidded across the road before being subsequently ripped to pieces upon impact what was this moronic plan anyway Buzz's plan fails because of course it did remember Buzz is the more now he's not capable of thinking of intelligent plans anymore and so at different rides spins into the perfect position to block buzzer trajectory at an extremely inconvenient moment because the script is built on nothing but contrivance and so he explodes into the ride and Buzz Lightyear dies oh wait no he doesn't instead he just comically bounces off the ride and then proceeds to be ping-ponged around a bunch of other obstacles throughout the carnival before somehow landing on his feet and then being bonked to the side by some random dude stumbling out of the porta potty I can't I just what Buzz should have been instantly demolished the second he hit that ride he was slingshoted away with enough momentum to send him soaring through the air there is absolutely no reason why all his limbs should still be attached to his body right now do you guys remember when I broke down how powerful Buzz's realization scene is well a major point of that scene was the fact that Buzz's arm broke off after he failed to fly through the air and crashed against the stairs and that was only after falling from the top of the stairs Buzz is soaring through the air at an incredibly High Velocity in this scene if this fall was enough to break him then he should have exploded into a bunch of tiny pieces after this crash and this one and this one and this one you are dead you are very dead you don't survive this there's no way also After Buzz lands he swallowed Away by the Porta Potty door meaning he would either be swept up behind the door sent flying very far in this direction yet one shot later the dude doesn't even take an extra step outside the thing nor does he close the door and somehow buzzes magically right in front of him at his feet how that's not how physics wait what is this movie what is happening anymore who wrote this so then the toilet dude picks Buzz up and hangs him in his carnival game as a top prize leaving him trapped there maybe you shouldn't have listened to the pre-recorded lines from your voice box and actually thought for yourself but no remember Buzz sucks now he's really stupid actually such a silly stupid toy that nobody should like anymore I hate this movie so goddamn much moving on what he's having play time with a little girl whose name is Harmony and it is very clear that she is having a lot of fun playing with Woody she loved him from the moment she picked him up and is clearly still enjoying playing with him on the swing set then her mom calls her over to the bench to put sunscreen on her and Harmony tells witta that she'll be right back only for him to leap off the swing set seconds later and completely abandon her as he Slither those across the ground like a snake hey Woody why'd you leave the girl who was clearly loving playing with you if you believe so wholeheartedly that Bonnie is done playing with you then why not give up on her and make lifelong memories for this new girl all right because Woody would never leave his friends or his kid for any reason ever silly me how could I ever thought of something so stupid please remember this for later but even then he doesn't show even a hint of remorse for abandon in this girl who's now going to think that someone stole her toy and since there's about to be a whole busload of cameras that gets dropped off on the playground she's probably gonna go around interrogating every single one of these kids trying to figure out which one of them stole her cowboy dog which might end that physical altercation brilliant job Woody hey remember in Toy Story 3 when Woody felt bad about leaving Bonnie but knew that he had to in order to both return to Andy who was freaking out over losing his toys and to rescue his friends from Sunnyside and you know how after it was all over he brought all the toys back to Bonnie so his friends could have a new loving home and she'd have even more awesome toys to play with after he abandoned her the first time yeah well if not here he doesn't care at all about abandoning Harmony awesome you'd love to see him so what do you spots the carnival which he knows is right next to the Antique store and hops in a nearby toy truck sitting off on a quest to rescue four face when the clutches of animal in her Army of Chucky dolls but unfortunately for him a bus load of cameras just so happens to be rolling in at this exact time that's preventing him from getting any further gee how unlucky yet another instance of things just happened to go wrong with the main characters at every available opportunity without any sense of logic or cause and effect to justify it it's almost like this script is built on straw or something like that but wait it gets worse upon seeing the bus pull up to the park he jumps out of the truck why did you do that the whole point of riding in the truck was to stay hidden from other people a random toy truck rolling down the street won't draw suspicion but a cowboy doll neurotically running around all over the place definitely will need proof of this the truck keeps rolling onward after Woody abandons and not a single one of the kids notices if you just stayed in the truck you would have been able to slip away entirely on those and then keep on moving towards the antique shop but fine let's assume that you just didn't want to risk one of the kids picking up the truck and further derailing your mission your actions here are still stupid because the very next thing he does after jumping out of that truck is to run back towards the playground what what are you doing what is the point of that you are running towards the same place where all the kids are going if your goal is to not be noticed then why have you picked the single stupidest manner which to go about doing this why not just hide behind the trash can there is a wide enough gap between the corner of the can and the fence where you would be entirely hidden from the vantage point of all the kids running towards you and you can use the four leaders to further conceal yourself why are you running back to the playground you literally just jumped out of the truck right next to the garbage can what do you doing who wrote this this whole scene is just Woody fumbling around like an intoxicated zebra getting himself into more and more trouble each time why did you jump into the sandbox It Is by design a place for children to jump into and play around in what happened to you what happened to the character who single-handedly devised the plan to break out of both Sid's house and Sunnyside and had absolutely no trouble improvising on the fly whenever something went wrong who are you what did you do to Woody he should not be this bad at staying hidden he should not be this bad as staying away from the kids there are so many different ways that he could have gone out of this park without being noticed by any of the cameras and he chose to take advantage of approximately none of them because Woody is an idiot all of a sudden why have they done this you may ask well aside from an Unapologetic attempt to assassinate Woody and strip him of all of his intelligence just like they did to buzz the writers have to contrive a reason for Woody to stay in the park because it's time for him to be reunited with none other than Bo Peep herself no I'm not kidding I'm not lying to you this is real this actually happens in the movie she's here in this town in this park at this exact moment in time and being played with by the exact same kid who picks up with it so they can stare each other in their face I can't believe it's garbage this script is hemorrhaging it's bleeding out as we speak and no one's doing anything to treat it the chain of events that led to these two toys reuniting is that Bonnie's family just so happened to decide to go on a road trip the day after kindergarten orientation which led to them just so happening to bring Woody to the one store in the entire world where Bo Peep could have been taken to which is even more insane when you watch the Lamplight shorts reveals that bopi was taken all around the world and even overseas during her time between being owned by Molly and the antique shop and could literally ended up in any one of these locations but so you just so happened to land it the only spot that what he's still going to do on the road trip which then led to what he just so happening to see her lights being projected onto the ground which aside from failing to make any mechanical sense it's an insane leap of logic because she is not the only Bo Peep in the entire world that he just immediately assumes that it has to be the one that he knew which led to him just so happening to bump into Annabelle on the way out of the antique store which led to four faces armed until having to slip off of his body for some stupid reason not to mention the fact that all these events just so happened to occur on the day that the harmony came into the shop to look around for cool things thus allowing her to just so happen to cross paths with Woody and luckily decided he was a toy worth taking and that she just happened to have plans to go to the very same playground where Bo Peep was reciting ahead because apparently she didn't make it too far past the antique shop after breaking out a playground that just so happened to be visited by a bus load of campers right is what he was about to leave which led to what he just so happened to see her sheep despite the fact that he was looking in the complete opposite direction of where they were running and that he just so happened to be picked up by the one kid in the entire playground who happened to be holding on to Bo Peep already who wrote this who wrote that who assembled this script who put together a train of events so absolutely insane that it almost relies on more contravances and luck than the domino effect leading to the brainwashing of the home speak Academy students because yes we are on that level here people just because it has a shinier coat of paint and a bigger budget doesn't absolve it from Bad writing in fact at this point Toy Story 4's on track to Dethrone Danganronpa 3 as the worst piece of content that I've ever consumed which is really really saying something but you know who else is really really saying something out of all the sandboxes and all the playgrounds and all the world he comes running into mine now shut up stewiness this is perfectly acceptable it's getting on my nerves now there's a lot to go through in this next scene a lot of garbage that's gonna make your head want to explode I'll run you through the whole scene and then we'll talk about it so the kid puts down both Woody and bow running to go play in the swings and Woody breaks free from toymo to talk to Bo but she instinctively swings her crook down to stop him from moving since there's a kid running toward them once the kid runs past she leaps to her feet and pulls Woody along with her flips up a frisbee on the ground uses it as a shield to block himself from View and then runs alongside it as they are then launched over the barrier of the playground and into the foliage and all I can do is just sit there with my jaw on the floor thinking what what did I just watch what just unfolded on my screen in the last 10 seconds what do I even begin dissecting this okay so first of all stop making Woody out to be an idiot he knows better than this he knows not to stand up in the middle of a crowded playground those kids are running towards him why do you keep cutting down his character ultimately we wanted to show that Woody's out of his element and Bo knows exactly what she's doing she plays on this playground all the time no Canon with this garbage Woody is not out of his element He has more experience dealing with this stuff than any of the other toys in the room he's been around since the late 50s he would never do this he's not this absent-minded and don't think you've pulled the wool over the eyes of the audience here writers it's blatantly obvious what you're trying to do you want to show off how totally awesome and competent your new character is because let's be clear here the way in which Bo is portrayed in this film is so radically different from how she was portrayed in the first two movies that she may as well be an entirely different character but instead of Simply showing off how she's awesome in her own right you have to retroactively make Woody look like an idiot in order to Gaslight the audience into thinking that he was always the stupid so they can be blown away by how cool Bo is now it's the same thing that happened in Apollo Justice Ace Attorney how do we make people care about our new characters oh I know make the old things out to be a depressed loser can't do anything for himself and make Emma Skye into also the Grouch who has given up on life Apollo and juicy looks so awesome compared to these two losers now don't they stop it stop doing this writers around the world please listen to me if you want to introduce a totally awesome new character that you want people to love you don't have to make your old characters look like useless idiots in comparison to achieve that effect when you introduce Professor Layton into the Ace Attorney series you don't need to have every single character praise this man like a God and actively to cry Phoenix as a useless Muppet who can't do anything for himself you can have each character stand out in their own right and contribute equally to the fight so you actually have a team Dynamic where you can accept these new characters as a part of the group you can introduce your new character and give them their own development and swallow it and compelling personality without demeaning the characters we're already familiar with it is possible it can be done these games did it marvelously you can do it or you can do what Toy Story 4 doesn't make all your old characters look like trash so your new characters will look comparatively better it is such slimy manipulative unmitigated gaslighting garbage I will not stand for for even a second also this will not be the last time that this movie tries to demean Woody's competence to make Beau look amazing so please keep all this in mind for later second they cheat again only this time it's much more egregious because in this shot Woody and Bo are right next to the Merry-Go-Round and they start running off in this Direction only to then in the very next shot suddenly teleport halfway across the playground having moved in this direction apparently underneath the monkey bars which is a pretty significant change in locations because the only reason why they're able to escape this park unseen is due to using the first BS cover between themselves and the kids so they can't see them but in order to get to the Frisbee they would have had to sneak past all these kids without any of them noticing how do you make this mistake I don't understand how did nobody notice this and it wouldn't even be hard to fix just move the Frisbee from here to here in the scene and then that's it problem solved you've done it except don't wait no you haven't because third this frisbee isn't doing anything for you all the kids are on that side of the Frisbee if even a single one of them happened to glench to what you'd be done for the only people who won't be able to see you anymore from that side is the audience this is utterly useless you may as well have just run off without the Frisbee if you were going to be stupid about it in fact you might have had a lesser chance of being noticed because just like the traffic cones a brightly colored large object is a lot more likely to draw attention than two tiny toys and once again this is such an easy fix just flip the frisbee around so that they're on the other side of it literally just rotate the object around how do you keep struanism how incompetent are you finally why are they launched over the edge and into the foliage they aren't writing on the Frisbee they're walking behind it so unless they run over an invisible springboard they should not have been launched into the trees they should have just clamored over the pegs and then they'd have been safely out of sight from the kids why did this happen surely you didn't just place an imaginary springboard there to randomly send them flying to the air for some dramatic effect whether or not it made any sense at all surely you'd never do something like that oh and one last thing recognize this music but remember guys we're not relying on it completely to carry the whole scene their soundtrack is almost entirely comprised 100 of music from the original trilogy but they're definitely not relying on Nostalgia and so Woody and Bo are officially reunited as Woody awkwardly tries to hug her despite Bo very deliberately keeping her at arm's length all I can do is just sit there and cringe but not quite as much as I cringe during this set of dialogue that's all right huh I mean awfully great at you are lost out here oh my God just end me now throw me into the shredder and incinerate me already because dialogue is really hard to write these days Woody and Bo do that thing where two characters have opposite views in something and when one camera realizes that they retroactively changed what they just said to fall in line with the beliefs of the other character which aside from being a Trope that pops up all the time it just makes you want to die the reaction that these two characters give doesn't make any sense at all given their previously established personalities obviously Woody would say that being a lost toy is a bad thing while boa view it is a good thing since she's had to acclimate to that lifestyle in the Years there's a person's Toy Story 2. now here's what you bungled over yourselves you have Bo Peep acting surprised that Woody thinks that being a lost toy is a bad thing which is absurd because she should know how loyal what he is to his kid and would never ever in a million years consider becoming a lost toy why would you think for even a second that Woody should view the life of a lost toy is a positive experience and reaction that confused way that she does and on Woody's side I mean awfully great Jesus who turned you into a walking doormat you've never had a problem with speaking your mind to anybody you've always been steadfast in your beliefs no matter how close you were to the person you were butting heads with you never caved just because you were afraid of disagreeing with someone so why magically now are you suddenly terrified of the very thought of both people having a different perspective on toy life than you and don't even try to tell me that it makes sense for Woody to be afraid to disagree with both since he's in love with her because if you think that is a rational counter argument then first off you don't know how marriages work and second off even when talking to Bo in the first two movies Woody still manage to have intelligent conversations with her even when they didn't see eye to eye about something such as whether or not any would be willing to take him to Cowboy Camp without his hat these characters haven't even been back together for a full minute and already their personalities have shattered I am not watching Woody and Bo Peep reunite I'm watching two emotionally constipated Turtle Ducks fumble over their words they struggle to make basic eye contact with each other it's embarrassing it just left me cringing out of existence moving on this wonderfully heartwarming exchange of word salad is cut short when a random surprise skunk teleports into the scene and decides to run over our heroes only for their face to be averted as Beau uses her crook to upend the skin I'm gonna reveal it to be an RC car and one that's being piloted by her she wait wait wait how is this RC carmelion machine you're using as a means of transportation while the RC go from Amy's room is fully alive and sentient they're both RC cars what's the difference you can bring a sport to life but not another RC car this is why you don't mess with the rules of the Toy Story Universe stop introducing all these new elements into the mix and mess everything up also what do you mean the Sheep are driving this thing remember 30 seconds ago when the Sheep were on the playground and then ran away in the complete opposite direction from where the skunk appears in this scene how did this happen how did they get back to the skunk mobile so quickly is the playground like a Pac-Man maze when you can just warp from one side of the screen to the other wait a minute why did you even Park the skunkmobile so far away from the playground if you were making a pit stop here none of this makes any sense over the weight it's all about to get so much worse because we are moments away from Beau delivering her backstory monologue to us and it's about to completely shatter this timeline of events so the Sheep jump out of the skunk and immediately start licking Woody only for that enthusiasm to be immediately dashed to Pieces when he fails to recall their three names and they get pissed at the fact that he cannot recall their names despite the fact that he literally didn't even know they had these until the exact day that they were taken from Andy's room which was also the exact same thing that he risked his life in a horrific thunderstorm to Rescue RC this was a very harrowing day for Woody the names of the three sheep were nowhere near the top 10 things in his mind on that given day but like I alluded to the beginning of this analysis the writers are going to rely on this plot point to make what he looked like complete garbage again later in this movie so please remember this for later the Sheep bring bow a paperclip which she accepts because she says that some kids play rougher than others and she always tries to be prepared which then prompts Woody to ask how long she's been on her own for to which she responds Seven Fantastic years seven which uh what okay look I am trying to be really really fair to this film in my efforts to tear every Astrid ever to shrines without remorse so I've looked at every reasonable interpretation that you could possibly draw from this response and every single one of them criminals to Pieces when compared against events elsewhere established in this universe and even just lines later in this very movie The Disney plus short Lamplight goes as follows after leaving Andy's house she is given to a different family where life sucks eventually the new girls outgrow her and she's given to two other families whose kids immediately declare that the lamp is for babies leading to her being donated to different people to take her on a variety of adventures all around the world for being a symbol to a disco lamp to an adventure of an unbreakable Speckled Band to becoming snowman before finally being thrown out and then subsequently adopted into the antique store family ultimately deciding to break out of the store through a series of straight up nonsense and then settle into the play around as permanent lost toys so with all of that in mind let's really think about this if she means that it's been seven years since she left Molly then that is just straight up impossible because we know that it has been nine years since that happened there's also no way that she would describe these views as fantastic given the heroin Journey we saw her embark on throughout lamp life and if she means that it's been seven years since she stopped being owned by a family then that can't work either because we know based on the progressing agents of these kids that she was with this family for far longer than two years the only way this math works out is if she left them when the oldest turned two years old and she was a baby when she first arrived but both girls are clearly way older than that here so she must have been away from them for less than seven years and that logic is only further extended the further along her journey you get due to the nature of how time works it makes the most sense for Beau to mean that it has been seven years since she left the antique store since that would be when she was properly on her own but that cannot possibly work with the timeline that you've presented us because that means that she would have had to go through all these families and go in her globetrotting Avengers in the span of two years which is straight up impossible when she already spent more than two years with this first family as the girls grew up and the fact that Bo Peep says later in the movie that she's been in the antique store for a couple years also even if the timeline didn't render this impossible Are you seriously telling me that over the course of seven years not a single one of these kids wanted to bring her home with them when they left the playground seriously man that's pretty lucky also also if you've just been sat at a playground every day for the past seven years and you've never left them why do you need a mobile to get around why don't you even find this thing how did you assemble this did you just find a random Taxidermy skunk or did you murder a skunk to get this concurrently did you find an old abandoned yet still perfectly functional RC engine or did you murder on another sentient toy to get this also also also if it really has been seven years since they left the Antiques so then how is the shop owner not replace the security system at any point throughout those seven years also also also also this shop owner doesn't look like she's aged even a single day throughout those alleged seven years did anybody pay attention to the continuity in this film was anybody supervising the script we then meet Weeble wobble she does approximately diddly do a throughout this entire film but remember our old characters are stupid and lame and boring and nobody to like them so now we need a million new characters Beau tells Weeble that this is the cowboy she told her about and then they both talk about him very loudly and yet what he just stands there lost some thought as if he can't hear what they're saying when they're literally right next to him anyway we will instantly Just For Joy upon noticing that Woody has a sheriff's badge immediately identifying him as a member of law enforcement you didn't tell me it was how to Sheriff officer giggle mcdimples I run pep Patrol from Minneapolis hey remember when they did this in the first movie the bed here local law enforcement that's about time you got here I'm Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Universe protection unit yeah well we're doing it again we're out of original ideas shut up and enjoy our film we then immediately meet another new set of characters the combat Carl Brigade combat Carl just heard there's a birthday party at the playground on Main Street wait a minute why are you all talking like normal combat Carls remember in Toy Story of Tara when it was made crystal clear that the big ones talk normally but the swallow ones have a higher pitched voice the only thing that's kept combat Carl going is the thought he might see his owner Billy just one more time here comes the charm oops looks like you forgot your own story again and you actually had a voice in this one how are you this bad at keeping things consistent why did they hand you the keys to the Toy Story Universe you have no idea what you're doing you can't be trusted to keep the little things consistent and you certainly can't control so they keep the big things consistent how did you get this job did they just run out of directors on the choices were you or a tree because if so then I still think the tree would have done the better job here anyway the karma Brigade reports saying that there's a birthday party on the Main Street playground that invites Woody and Beau to join them but he stops that plan didn't have strikes by declaring that he still has a kid which seems to annoy Beau for some stupid reason and so after they leave she interrogates him about his new life and is excited to hear that he's with a little girl named Bonnie now but that smile face from her face immediately when Woody tells the one of her toys that being Fork face has been kidnapped by Annabelle and he needs to get him back she tells him that Second Chance Antiques is the place that she and we will broke out of and that's we wasted years there just sitting on the shelf collecting dust and just like that you've broken the timeline even more because you've already spent two of the nine years with the first family and then another set of you're sitting around in the antique store and it does not matter what the specific number is here because even if it is as few as two years spent on that shelf that already means that it is completely impossible for her to have spent seven years on her own when added on top of the Year spent shifting between families and I'm sorry but this doesn't make any sense at all it is literally impossible but the timeline you presented to us across both these pieces of media I genuinely don't understand how this stuff happens it's just basic math we're not talking high level calculus here we're talking basic addition and subtraction how do you keep screwing this basic stuff was this movie written by kindergartners actually no to imply that isn't sold into kindergartners because at least addition and subtraction would be fresh in the kindergarteners Minds moving on hearing about Bo's time with the antique store fills Woody with joy the thought of someone who knows the ins now to the store helping him on his quest only for her to immediately shut him down by advising him to steer clear of Annabelle he begs her to help him because Bonnie needs forfeits to get through kindergarten to live for her to then say in response kids lose toys every day Bonnie will get over it and this is the point where my brain just wanted to explode because Boku would never have said this she knows firsthand how important a single toy can be to a kid she's seen it with her own eyes do you remember this line of dialogue from the first movie if only you could see how much Andy misses you oh we're right I forgot consistency isn't something that you clowns are particularly skilled at hey at least they remember that you need a remote to control an RC car this time unlike the opening scene where they wait wait wait what why is there a setting on this switch between off and on it doesn't make it it's a binary switch the car is either off or it's on that's how a binary switch works it's literally in the Name two possible States on or off how do you Bungle in on off switch you geriatric cabbages so Woody attempts to appeal the Bose time with Molly when trying to convince her to help him saying that Bonnie needs four fish just like Molly needed Beau this leads to Woody talking to Weevil about how Molly would cry every night because she was scared of the dark but that as soon as spoke him into the room she felt completely safe and would fall asleep with her hand resting on the lamp I don't quite know how that would have happened when she would have been sleeping in a crib and couldn't possibly have reached the lamp but whatever and as he's telling the story the camera is zooming in on beau's face her eyebrows arching as she reminisces on those years she spent in Andy's house before finally smiling reliving those wonderful memories of her time before a lost toy remembering how good it was to be loved by a kid please don't forget this remember this for later do not let this get flushed out of your brain for even a second this scene is going to be critical later moving on this convinces Bo that Woody is correct about how much Bonnie needs Fork face and agrees to help him so they all climb aboard the skunkmobile in the quest to retrieve the neurotic Spork from the evil Annabelle begins proper speaking of Annabelle next up we cut back to the Antique store where we see the annabella's painting over her freckles the movie wants you to think that she's doing this because she wants to look her best but it's really just the animators have an excuse to flex their muscles and show off how detailed the character models are even if you put a microscope up to the polygons Chucky reattaches four faces arms and he makes these noises while doing so so you moan and wail and cry while your arms are being tied back around your body but when Woody somehow effortlessly ripped them off of your body you didn't make a peep it's okay then now it is during this scene that we learn our villains motivations see turns out that this girl from earlier Harmony is the kid that Annabelle wants to be with more than anything she admires her so much that she outright says my Harmony is perfect and stalks are like an absolute creep whenever she comes into the store staring at her through the glass cases she plays for 10 tea time and I'm sorry but if I were this little girl and I looked up for my toys to see this thing staring at me through the glass I'm running the other direction as fast as my little legs can carry me because you were ripped straight out of a horror film you have chosen a very stupid plan to get her to like you Annabelle whatever advice everyone if you like someone don't stalk them don't spy on them don't creepily stare at them as they do their day to day activities I promise you it's not one of you any favorites and it's just creepy anyway this is why she needs Woody's voice box so she can be just as perfect as she thinks Harmony is because she doesn't think she would want to take her home if her voice box doesn't work now we're gonna pin that one for the time being and come back to it later I want to focus on something else for the time being as Annabelle is stalking Harmony she's also referencing her Prima official game guy for the teacup level of the befriend Harmony video game and practicing tea time mannerisms such as how high to lift up her arm and to stick out her pinky why why are you practicing tea time what is this gonna do for you it doesn't make any sense for you to be practicing any particular techniques for tea time because even if you get a playtime with Harmony anything you learned from your little book isn't gonna matter because you're gonna be in Toy Mode you won't be alive you can't move while you're in front of her you will be entirely motionless you will be at the back and call of whatever kind of tea time she wants to have with you why are you wasting your time with this why are you wasting my time with this utterly point in the scene what are you doing the demo girl drawn in her book looks exactly like Harmony from the hair curler to the style to the dress to the headband and she's literally a one-to-one replica of the girl she's using as a reference in her book I just I can't what what are the odds they look this similar are you kidding me really anyway we get this utterly laughable shot where four face puts his wobbly little hand on Annabelle's because for some reason he feels bad for her when she gives him the sob story about wanting Harmony to love her despite the fact that she literally wants to rip Woody to pieces to get his voice box and then a second later she asked for a face to tell her all about Woody and his history which he's conveniently able to do because he made a Freudian slip earlier and said Andy's name instead of Bonnie remember when I said that was gonna Define the climax of this film yeah we're getting there consider this your reminder to not forget the scene for later moving on we're cutting back to the shooting shooting bang bang carnival game that buzz got stuck in earlier due to a series of insane garbage that had as much coherence as a pile of horse manure he's currently trying to wrestle free of the zip tie that's keeping him secure to the wall at which point we meet another set of two brand new characters Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny they're yelling at Buzz because he took their places the top price spot therefore making it less likely for a kid to pick the two fluffy animals to take home when they could instead win their own Buzz Lightyear action figure luckily for them Buzz doesn't want to be there either and so he asked him to help him get out of there and and their response is I'll help you with my foot and then they ah how you like that cheetah I what why are you beating Buzz to a pulp why verbally and physically when not two seconds ago he just told you that he doesn't want to be there he doesn't want inconvenience you he wants to leave he's more than happy to give you back the top price spot why are you kicking his head over and over again he didn't do anything to you helping him leave would be only beneficial to your desires kicking the crap out of him doesn't help you at all what are you doing and why are you yelling so loudly and moving around so wildly when you are on display front and center in this carnival game any kid could walk up to this game at any moment and see you heck anyone that just happened to be passing by could easily overhear you or see you what do you not care about being noticed by people also I know science and logic isn't exactly this film's strong scene but Buzz's head would never bounce back this far it basically goes inside himself at one point Buzz isn't a ragdoll he's an action figure his head would never do this did you not test this out with a real Buzz Lightyear toy before you animated this what did you just throw all logic to the win because you wanted a funny sound effect awesome anyway Buzz is in a little bit of a pickle once again so I can't wait to see him use his brain to think of a clever solution how do I get out of here this planet is buzz off with this trash stop doing this Buzz is not stupid he doesn't need his stupid voice box to tell him everything remember in the first movie when he was in a similar situation where he kept getting beaten up over and over again so he closes helmet to trap Woody's hand and how he came up with that plan entirely by himself without pushing his stupid buttons did even a single one of you defective cactuses actually watch these movies before you wrote this script oh whatever Daffy unintentionally Yanks him out of a zip tie and then the sheer weight of Buzz causes the Looney Tunes to fall down from their tie and Buzz runs away from the game to continue his quest to find Woody having owned a Buzz Lightyear as a kid I can say with absolute confidence that his helmet is nowhere near sturdy enough to remain closed while Daffy tries to yank his foot free of Buffs but fine whatever moving on now this should be the best case scenario for our Looney Tune friends here they are free from the combines of the carnival game which should make achieving their dream of finding a kid even easier than ever before but instead they say back up there what you wanted to put you back up there why Buzz can't get your cotton filled reruns all the way back up there especially not on his current mission State why do you even care about him anymore why does it have to be him remember what happened the last time this guy found a random toy on the ground just do the same thing here literally just plot themselves down in front of him he'll put you right back up there again or alternatively here's an idea just go find your own kid you're literally free now you can go anywhere you want just keep going limp next to random kids until eventually one of the things that you're cool enough to take home why do you care about Buzz whatever moving back to the incredible skunk mobile and I don't understand how these sheep are driving the stupid thing even if we accept that they have an acceptable field of vision by looking through this tiny little hole despite their eyes being nowhere near aligned with said hole how in the world do these three heads have the necessary coordination to be able to steer this thing at all oh and also this music plays [Music] feel Nostalgia being nostalgic remember the original movies and how much you love them so that you'll transfer that love to our movie without even thinking about it at all anyway the Sheep crashed this Gunk underneath the carousel resulting in one of the tires falling off please remember this for later and when Bo tries to help get Woody to his feet she [Music] I'm fine don't worry it happens all the time you this happens all the time presumably with more limbs than just your right arm since we can also see some kind of Band-Aid substitute on your left wrist and yet the force of a mechanical spring launching forward wasn't enough to rip your arm off okay then now look we don't actually know definitively what event caused her to lose her arm we can take a pretty solid guess that had happened when she was being played with at the playground she had both arms firmly attached when she left the Antiques so the accident must have happened between then and now and all she's done in that time period is hang around the playground meaning that one of the kids must have played with her a little too rough and caused her arm to shatter putting aside the probability of that being the only part of her body to suffer an injury I find it absolutely ridiculous that your arm couldn't withstand that but you were completely unaffected by this scene also I don't even buy the idea that this team would fix her up at all first of all this appears to be a roll of Ace adhesive bandages not what you traditionally think of as tape even then with the amount of acrobatics Bo Peep is about to engage in throughout this film you'd need super glue in order for this to work properly and even then I'm not sure that'd be enough to support her throughout all of this second of all you explicitly state that happens all the time and yet you keep using the exact same kind of tape if this really happens all the time then why don't you try a different method of reattaching your arm how about you go in a supply run in your skunk mobile for some super glue like I mentioned third and most importantly even if this was strong enough to actually support her arm if the idea here is that reattaching your limb will allow you to regain control of your hand and this shouldn't work anyway because tape doesn't Stitch things together The Collector and Andy literally had to stitch Woody's arm back together in order to fix him in Toy Story 2. if you rip something in two and then touch the two halves together you've not reattached the pieces you simply applied a Band-Aid to the problem the only toys that have control of their limbs when not attached to their bodies or Mr Potato Head and Mrs Potato Head because they are toys that are designed to be taken apart and put back together Bo Peep isn't even supposed to be a toy that children play with she's supposed to be a solid lamp figurine it doesn't make any sense that taping her arm back together would allow her fingers to start working again when we know that you lose control of that limb based on what happens in Toy Story 2. did anybody actually watch these films before you wrote the script when you do this in the first place the only thing ripping her arm off service is a quick and stupid joke there was no point every time you think you're making a funny little joke you're just dealing more damage to the script whether it be through the World building the characters of the plot stop doing this you useless blob of Plato Moving On bow and we will bounce up a few steps and then stop to have a chat WeMo suspects that boa's feelings for Woody and warns her not to pursue them because he's got a kid and also hints that she wants in a similar relationship with He-Man and literally who cares so just move on when he climbs up next to them and then they do the thing where a character walks into the scene as people finish gossiping about them and then they go hey what are you guys talking about lol and you just want to die Did Woody seriously not hear them talking about him at all while he was climbing up the steps really also why did you even bother coming up here at all as soon as you fix up your arm you immediately abandon the position and head off in a completely different direction what was the point of coming up here in the first place what you can sneak in a he-man reference was that it because it's not like you couldn't have fixed your arm down there what was the point why did you bother I just I can't anyway Bo grabs a sticky hand and uses it as a makeshift grappling hook to launch himself up to the top of the carousel I find it to be a bit of a stretch if you will that this thing would reach all the way from the bottom bottom of the carousel to the top they cheat with the shots Again by not actually showing the projectile reach the top and just cutting from the bottom to the top but are you aware of how ridiculously tall this Carousel is from the perspective of a toy and how little a chance you have of reaching the top from the bottom tell you what get a real sticky hand and see if you can launch it to the top of the carousel from the ground let me know how that works out for you spoiler alert it won't this movie is full of baloney so then Beau tells the sob story of how she went from another family to where she is now in Woody expresses sympathy for her only for her to then say in response who needs a kid's room can have all of them yes foreign that Woody could have so much more than just a kid's room if he were a lost toy like Beau was which is hilarious when you realize that first of all we learned later that this is a traveling Carnival that moves all over the country and it wasn't at this location until recently and Beau hasn't left the vicinity of the antique store since she became a lost toy so her life has been confined to a single playground which is just the same as being confined to a kid's room only now you have a better View and you're covered in sand but secondly and more importantly Woody is currently in the exact same marvelous location as Bo Peep is despite him being owned by a kid oops it's almost as if you aren't confined to a kid's room for your entire life as evidenced by the Avengers of the first three movies but the writers don't want you to think about those they want you to forget they ever happened they really really want you to forget all about those movies in fact the finale of this film is dependent on your memory being so pathetic that you can't remember what happened in those movies but perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself again so then they stare into each other's eyes for a few seconds and then the journey to reach the antique store begins as they plan every watching the story you find yourself asking well it's simple they're gonna jump across the carnival tents to stay out of sight of the people below so they can reach the store which putting aside the fact that it is absolutely absurd not a single person saw them do this especially when Woody nearly slipped off the roof and full view of everyone in their Shadows can clearly be seen from beneath riddle me this they plan to reach the store by bouncing across the carnival so how exactly do they plan to get from here to here literally how are they gonna do this the parasol delivery truck are on completely opposite sides of the street you cannot tell me with a straight face that you think it makes any sense at all for these tours to be able to jump from here to here nor can you tell me that they managed to stealthily walk across the street there aren't any traffic cones they can use to their advantage this time oh but it's all right because we can just wait a few more seconds to see how they're gonna cross this game nope they immediately cut away and the next time we see them they've made it on top of the truck you cheated again you keep presenting characters in one situation cutting away and then the next time they appear in a shot that situation is radically changed despite the connecting tissue making absolutely no sense this can't work they never could have possibly made this jump okay so whatever maybe we'll get a little bit of a break from the set of cinematography for a while Buzz appears between flower beds outside the antique shop wondering where the highway exit is so he pushes the button on his chest to tell him what to do causing him to look up toward the sky and see Woody bow and the Sheep leaving from the top of the truck onto the roof of the store what what just happened again oh my God please can we please go five seconds without everything breaking this shot lasts less than 10 seconds and everything about it is broken first of all they cheated again again they want you to think they managed to jump from this truck to the roof of the antique store but that doesn't make any sense do you remember the shot that we just saw five seconds ago this truck is not as tall as the antique store and there is no ledge that they could jump onto the climb even higher even if there was there's no way they climb from there to there especially not the stupid [ __ ] but they angled the camera the way that they did and cut from this shot so this shot to trick you into thinking that this makes any sense at all when it just doesn't second of all again you made Buzz push the stupid buttons on his chest again he doesn't need to do this we went over this already what are you people doing third really Buzz just so happened to find out where Woody and both people were because he just so happened to push this button seconds before they jump which just so happened to play the exact voice on them would tell him to look in the exact location they needed to say them jump it's all luck that's all the scriptures it's just a constant flood of looking contrivance in every direction of all the potential voice lines it played this one look out of all the times he could have pressed it he chose to do so literally seconds before the only window of time he would have had to see Woody and Bo jump this script is running on nothing but contrivance at every opportunity not even mentioning the fact that buzz got nothing more than a passing glance with a blob leaping through the air and thankfully a minute to immediately identify him as Woody are you kidding me fourth and most importantly how did you even get here even if you managed somehow sneak your way through the crowds of the carnival how did you get across the street without anybody's seeing you and I swear to God if you are going to tell me if movies showed us every single second that happens during the span of the story they would be 40 hours long and really [ __ ] boring shut up you ridiculous monkey wrench unlike what Zack's side I want you to believe you do not physically need to show the entirety of Buzz walking across the street with every single goddamn step to know how he made it across you know it's funny how Toy Story 2 managed to do that with no problem whatsoever by simply showing Buzz arrive at Al's apartment with the cone over his head immediately communicating to the audience how he crossed the stream without having to actually show it but there is no such thing in Toy Story 4 the film keeps cheating it keeps teleporting characters to the exact positions they need to be in all the goddamn time and wait a minute why did you even try to get here why would you have left the vicinity of the criminal without first trying to figure out which direction the highway is in why did you stop in front of this random antique store first oh my God none of this makes any sense who wrote this okay moving on Woody bow and the Sheep climb on top of the antique store somehow please don't ask me how they pulled this off when there are no Legends or anything they could possibly grab onto when she left the sticky hand behind and they have no rope because I have absolutely no idea how they could have possibly pulled this off then Woody tells Bo that the whole gang is still together except for her of course and upon turning around to face Woody she notices that buzz has joined them on the roof what oh how do you people keep getting up here it doesn't even make any sense for Woody and Bo to get up here and they had the high advantage of being on top of a truck how in the name of your maker said you climb up here how did they would see you what did you climb why does everyone keep teleporting all over the place in this movie see this is a blatant attempt by the writers to trick you into thinking that they actually care about the original trilogy and movies because it's supposed to be a reference to this line I found my moving buddy except that makes no sense at all because they obviously couldn't end up being moving buddy since Bo and the Gang wrote to Annie's house the moving van and Buzz road to the new house with Woody and Andy's mom's car how do you screw up something this simple they have tried to convince you that they are super fans of this series by referencing one single line from the first movie that they think only hardcore viewers would remember but what they failed to realize is that in doing so they are directly contradicting events which take place during major scenes that everyone remembers it doesn't even make any sense in Universal remember Buzz as her old moving buddy because aside from the fact that he literally wasn't her moving buddy they spent half a decade in the same room before she was taken away by this guy why in the world would this be the first thing to come to her mind when she sees Buzz Lightyear after everything they've been through but they clearly don't want you to think too much about this because seconds after Bo rushes to hug Buzz Daffy and bugs teleport into the scene and Tackle Buzz down to the roof what how did you get up here why does everyone keep teleporting and love the place in this movie but that's not even the worst part of the scene aside from the fact that it makes no sense for these two to be pissed off at Buzz aside from the fact that there's no way they could have possibly tracked him down given the massive head start that he had while they were twiddling around stuck in the game booth aside from the fact that there's no way Buzz should have been surprised by their presence if they were this close behind him and aside from the fact that there's no way they could have scaled the building as quickly as Buzz did since remember Buzz started climbing shortly after Woody and Beau landed on the roof and the next shot picks up with them landing on the roof meaning it's a buzz all of 20 seconds to get up here and the Looney Tunes wouldn't have started climbing until they saw him go up there meaning that it had to take them less time to do that when they are literally attached to each other and clearly like the basic coordination to do just about anything aside from all that buzz is being beaten to a pulp by these two toys out for revenge and Woody is just sitting around his rear end doing sweet bugger all hey ding dong that is Buzz Lightyear you know the guy you you promised you'd be with for infinity and beyond the guy who you risked your life to save several times throughout this series such as one when you thought he was being torn to shreds by Sid's toys or when Sid was going to blow him up in a grand spectacle oh and Scott was trying to eat him or when the prospector attacked him when he was under lots of his control when he was trapped under a TV why are you sitting around twiddling your thumbs while he's being insulted by The Looney Tunes listen to this trash all right now come on stop it cut it out now come on guys break it up what are you doing who are you you know that's attention Proctor and Spider-Man homecoming who tries to stop Peter from leaving detention where are you going get back here and it's like a joke well that's literally this Scenic stuff it's not for the funny hahas it's for real Woody is literally just standing around staring at Buzz as he gets the batteries being out of him by these two plus Abominations and the most amount of effort that he's willing to put in to help his friend is all right now come on stop it cut it out now buzz off you stupid movie you don't know who these characters are you don't know how they would act around each other you don't have even the most basic understanding of this series and to think we're only halfway through this film oh my God just make it stop this movie is so stupid okay so he eventually tells him that he has a king the hillside to the body if they stop attacking buzz and so Daffy and Bugs Bunny joined the party as they continue on their quest to rescue Fork face terrific meanwhile back in the RV Bonnie is crying about losing the spark so our parents agree to check outside for him one last time before they set off down the road again to continue their trip thus prompting the other toys who quickly think of a plan for how to stop them from leaving while Woody and Buzz is still out there and why are you all stuck in an RV who gives a flying Hoot about the Looney Tunes of the stupid mentally defective eating utensil why have you quarantined off all the toys we actually care about and are attached to including Jesse one of the three leading stars of the previous movies in this stupid RV where they can do absolutely nothing for the plot and it's even more confusing when you look at the marketing for this film everything from the promotional posters to the trailers Jesse ham fudge oh Rex Potato Head hey watch it buddy let's go save a spork including the original teaser trailer makes it seem like the original toys we actually care about are going to have a much more significant role to play in this movie than they actually do almost like the writer's new no one was going to care about the stupid new character so instead of rewriting their script they falsely manipulated the marketing to trick the audience into thinking that they were going to get more screen time for characters that they were attached to than they actually were or something crazy like that oh but fear not everybody because it looks like Jesse's finally gonna get to do something important but it's too little too late because aside from the fact that she would have gone out that window with buzz and she'd have never sat idly by when there was an adventure to be had you want to know what Jesse does in this scene you want to know what her big role to play is in this movie what her grand plan is to stop the family from leaving the carnival well she she just just have a look for yourself are you kidding me what did you do we're not going anywhere if you get my point I really nailed to Jesse really hammered that joke home no I am not misleading you here I am not lying to you this is actually what happens in this film her big role in the movie is popping the tire that's it that is the extent of Jesse's importance to this movie she doesn't join Woody and Buzz on their Adventure she just lazes around in the RV quickly pops the tire and then goes right back to Lazy until the very end of the movie which is an entirely other can of forms we're gonna have to open but perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself again because guess what you're never gonna believe it this makes no sense putting aside the fact that Jesse's minimal role in the story is so lame there is no way in the world that she should have ever been able to pop this tire first of all what exactly was her plan here she's been inside the RV the whole time they've been here so there's no ways you could have possibly known about this nail meaning her plan was as follows step one jump out the window step two duh I thought we'd be dead by step two what was she gonna do next just hope it's she'd find something to pop the tire with okay fine let's say that she just jumped outside with a leap of faith that she'd find some way to accomplish her mission in that case the criticism simply shifts from she had no plan here too oh my God again again you got lucky again you added yet another instance of wow insert character here just so happened to insert plot necessary action here onto the mountain of contritement you already had why is this script just a giant Pachinko machine where characters just get randomly lucky or unlucky depending on the situation but as if that wasn't enough the actual Logistics involved in the popping of this tire are absolutely laughable really think about what would have had to occur in order for this to happen Jesse grabbed the nail and used it to penetrate a car tire with her bare hands do you even need me to explain to you how absolutely absurd that is tires are designed to be able to absorb damage while out on the road traveling at very high speeds and this film wants you to believe not only that one could be penetrated by pressing a single nail into it not by Run running over the nail mind you but by manually pressing the nail into the tire but that a toy would have the strength to do that I shouldn't need to prove the fact that the toys have less muscular strength in humans but in case you need evidence here's Woody and Buzz both trying to push a golf bag off of Lotso when the average human will be able to do so effortlessly so the idea that Jesse could penetrate this tire with a nail using nothing but her hands is absolutely absurd most human beings couldn't do that with their hands try to imagine you trying to push the snail into a tire You couldn't possibly accomplish that by pressing your thumb into it you need to use your palm to even have a chance at breaking through and even then I don't know that you'd be able to do it at least not without seriously injuring yourself in the process in other words there is no way that Jesse could have popped this tire with her hands that did not happen nice try movie but not only does Jesse disregard signs and somehow still manage to pop this thing she does so instantly watch this clip again Jesse leaves the frame and then five seconds later the tire is popped even if we generously assume that she grabbed the nail as she was running toward the tire and lost no time in the process that means it took her less than five seconds to pop this tie with a muscular strength of a cowgirl Ragdoll who wrote this and as the cherry on top of this travesty ever seen they play this music [Music] followed immediately after bye we looked everywhere it's like a nervous tick for this movie when all else fails play nostalgic music for the audience to gobble up and subsequently disengage the critical thinking skills over oh and one last thing before we move on from the scene when Bonnie walks off the RV she doesn't have her backpack we know she never re-enters the RV since we have full view of the inside while the toys are talking and yet she magically has her backpack on the next time we see her outside ready to head to the carnival with pearl while Magnum fixes the tire please remember this for later it is much like Woody's 40 and slip from earlier going to define the finale of this film and allow it to happen moving on Beau leads the way inside the antique shop as the other toys silently follow behind her well silently except for are you kidding me oh my maker that sheep has three heads how did it take you this long to realize that the Sheep had three heads anyway we've reached a crucial point in this film the plan to rescue four phase is about to begin coming together and wouldn't you know it it makes no sense but before I can tell you why it makes no sense I have to present to you the logistics of of this antique store and the obstacles it presents followed by both plan of attack then I'll ask what a group of paste eating preschoolers wrote this and then I'll explain how none of it makes any sense now then let's begin Annabelle has Fork face locked up in the cabinet in the center of the antique shop which is secured under lock and key so they need to find a way to retrieve the key from the shopkeeper to even get into the cabinet but as if that wasn't bad enough the cabinet is also guarded by a group of four Chucky dolls guarding all possible angles which doesn't seems about in and of itself they just need to find the time when the dolls aren't looking their way and then run across but as the final source of trouble in the store is also a vicious cat roaming the aisles that takes pleasure in tearing toys to shreds so to recap the team needs to retrieve the key slip past the Chucky dolls and maneuver their way past the cad without getting eaten or seen and both plan to outsmart this treacherous terrain is to retrieve the key to open the cabinets and then fetch an Evil Knievel knockoff toy that will allow them to jump across the aisle from the shelves above land on the cabinet and then use the key to open it up and rescue Fork face what what group of pace eating preschoolers wrote this tumorous sludge none of this makes any sense at all why do you need an Evil Knievel tour to jump across the aisle why would you ever choose to use that plan hey Galaxy brain where are those Chucky dolls looking straight across they're not looking down jumping across the aisle would put you in the direct line of sight of the Dolls instantly exposing your plan if you simply run across the aisle and jump up onto the ledge right here you can reach the cabinet door in seconds but the cat would eat them now shut up you broken crayon no I would not the cat is not omniscient it can't look everywhere at once all you have to do is simply send one toy to distract the cats or literally just wait until it's not looking at you and then run across the aisle that's all you had to do as proven by the fact that upon seeing the bunnies in the antique shop Woody instinctively fearlessly runs across the aisle and it works flawlessly the only thing that stopped it from getting inside was not having the key in his possession there is absolutely no reason to execute this moronic and overly convoluted plan just get the key distract the cat and run across the Kyle game over and what's absolutely hilarious is that the one necessary part of your plan was the one part you had absolutely no idea how to accomplish getting the key what is this plan who wrote this this movie is full of baloney oh and let's not gloss over the fact that buzz abandons Woody when he charge his head first into the lion's den in danger of being spotted by both the Chucky dolls and the cat no absolutely not Buzz Lightyear left on Disco when he was about to eat Woody without a second of hesitation and then again in Toy Story 2 and again and again and yet all of a sudden in this scene he shows absolutely no compunctions about potentially condemning what he to his death this movie is full of baloney get out of here you brain dead Riders and let's also not gloss over the fact that Woody charging toward the cabinet and Buzz abandoning willing to go key hunting with the Looney Tunes and weave wobble only happens because Bonnie just so happens to wander into the NT store this exact moment again more luck luck luck luck it's everywhere in this film all the time in every scene but not only that they turn around and leave less than a minute after entering the store in the first place why didn't you even come here what was the point You couldn't possibly have gotten further than the entrance area you didn't look around at anything you just walked in and walked right back out again why'd you even come over in the first place and please don't try to tell me that oh well her mom probably wanted to show bond to the Antique store but then Bonnie got bored and then she wanted to leave because if you believe that to be a satisfactory defense and I'd like to remind you that there is a carnival outside given how we've seen Bonnie act throughout this series there is no way this trial got further than five steps into the carnival without stopping dead in her tracks wanting to play one of the games to go on one of the rides this whole movie is full of baloney you don't know what you're doing with the script also please notice how Bonnie has her backpack when she enters the store and then suddenly doesn't have her backpack as they leave the store please remember this for later so Woody tries to open the cabinet door and we get to East drop in on Fork faces conversation with Annabelle Woody just sits in closet with no play time yeah he told me himself he's useless no shut up that is not what happened to the beginning of this film how many times do we have to go over this Woody was only in there for three out of the seven days in a week the only reason they were all in the closet was because of a house cleaning and no play time what what are you talking about she literally played with Woody in this movie you were right next to him when Bonnie played with him stop lying about the events of this movie in order to reframe and to neatly fit the nonsensical narrative that you're trying to push onto the audience so Bo gets mad at Woody for running across the island going against her brain dead plan but then surprise the Chucky doll spotted Woody wait wait wait what how did they spot him he's completely obscured from their field of vision down here how did they see him and if they did see him then why did they wait so long to actually jump down and attack them and why did they not jump down from two opposite sides they could actually surround Woody and bow then this happens oh whoa buddy you are dead you are super dead you are a porcelain doll that was just yeaded across through and smashed into the floor you are now a million tiny porcelain pieces you did not sustain zero damage from that she's totally fine against Rebecca like nothing happened so then the Chucky Duo kidnaps Woody and starts waddling off to perform surgery on his voice box but then Bo comes to the rescue to knock one of them down why are neither of you keeping guard of Bo Peep why did neither of you think that it was a good idea to watch over her in case she somehow wasn't smashed the pieces and got back up again remember how Lotso had every square inch of sun inside cover with guards of some kind beat them patrols roaming the halls or stationary Watchmen with spotlights or a monkey with access to the entire security system yeah well these guys are just wobbling around like confused penguins with tunnel vision and I swear in the name of the monkey if you try to tell me their ventriloquist dummies they're supposed to be stupid then excuse me we'll like smash my head into a brick wall in response how far can I push that principle Until It Breaks how stupid does a villain or group of enemies have to be before you finally say okay maybe they can be a little smarter than this what if it's literally a room full of drooling toddlers what if these the villains for a movie will you finally say okay these are really stupid villains we should probably rewrite this so the villains are actually smart so our heroes can actually have an intimidating threat to try to conquer why would you ever advocate for a brain dead villain who consistently makes the stupidest possible decisions and obviously poses no threat to the heroes and you could instead craft a villain or team of enemies that is so forced to be reckoned with in terms of their raw intelligence and capabilities good grief okay I'm with the action scene Chucky doesn't notice that his friend just got dunked on so he keeps running forward with Woody and then the sheep eat itself I can't say no really that's not a joke I'm not lying to you here the Sheep Leap Forward and bite down on his butt in an attempt to get him to drop Woody and then both throws her staff at a row of croquet sticks which fall just in time to cause Chucky to fall over and drop Woody onto a random telephone that just so happened to be in the way thus causing him to fall on the buttons and make this noise thus strong the attention of a nearby Shopper sure random telephone on the floor why not not like this should be on a shelf or anything like that sure why not pepper some more lock into the mix so what do you think's quickly enough to pass himself off as a part of the telephone while Bo and Chucky hide in the shadows waiting for round two but then who knows the Sheep haven't let go of Chucky's butt yet and so he runs off with the Sheep still in tow and by the time the Shopper runs past the boat can give Chase they've already mysteriously disappeared Into Thin Air I don't know how in the world they could have possibly gotten away so quickly when we've already seen the bowken Run way faster than Trucking and easily catch up to him but more importantly why are the Sheep still holding on to its butts the whole reason they grabbed on in the first place was because they were trying to get him to let go of Woody but he already let go of like an hour ago there was no reason to still bite down on his butt let go drop down Retreat and then carry on with the rest of the plan what do you Barnyard animals doing let go or alternatively just have Bo command them to let go oh wait never mind that'd be silly I mean it's not like she could just tell them to let go of Chucky and then instantly resolve the conflict because that would be really silly if that were the case moving on Beau gets mad at Woody for not listening to her again now that hashiba decided to keep eating it can't say and even after Woody profusely apologizes for doing something that literally would have worked if they had the key she snaps at him and demands that he stay out of her way and that she's getting her sheep back Bo listen to me you porcelain prick you never told Woody about the key yeah remember that bit I told you about how they need a key to unlock the cabinet door that wasn't something that was ever communicated to Woody that was something that I told you so you can fully understand how broken this plan is but Beau never told Woody that they needed a key to get into the cabinet all she told him was that the aisle was guarded by the Chucky dolls on a cat and that she wanted to jump across the shelves to get to the cabinet but the information Woody had it was a perfectly reasonable decision to run across the aisle to try to get Ford face not to mention the fact that the plan you want to employ makes absolutely no sense and would only put you in even more danger to do replacing you directly in the line of sight of the Chucky dolls not to mention the fact that the only reason the doll has your sheep right now is because they refuse to let go of its butt you are in absolutely no position to reprimand waiting for this right now get off your tiny little soapbox yeah little knows what to do no she doesn't we see in the very next scene that she has absolutely no plan for how to get that key she states that their objective is to get that key but she doesn't actually offer a plan for how to get it neither of you have any idea what you're doing right now in fact at this moment the only one of you that's had the most amount of success in trying to rescue four face has been Woody Weaver wallpaper clearly doesn't know what to do well she would have offered an alternate solution when the Looney Tune suggested brutally assaulting the poor shopkeeper as a potential plan for getting the key no I'm not kidding by the way there's a solid minute and a half of screen time that is entirely dedicated to listening to Daffy and bugs Regale increasingly disturbing methods for how to get that key all of which involve a brutal end for the shopkeeper moving on Chucky tells Annabelle that Woody's return to the Antique store in search of fork face and so she prepares to use him to lure Woody right into a trap question if you want Woody to ultimately get into your cabinet and retrieve Fortress you can Corner him and steal his voice box then what's the point of even having the dolls guarding the area in the first place whatever stay tuned for a few scenes from now to see the results of the scripping drama then we cut back to Bow leading Woody somewhere and upon asking her what they're doing damn quiet trust you heartless I can't say all he did was ask you a simple question of what are we doing and all you could do in response was aggressively tell him to shut up and stand by doing nothing actually what is wrong with you Woody is doing everything in his power to help you right now and this is how you treat him good Lord maybe it's for the best that you left Woody when you did I mean clearly you have no respect for him whatsoever anymore God could you imagine if Woody had to spend the rest of his life with her that'd be awful how do the talking uh yes because you have such a way with words tin toy lets him into the pinball machine and upon asking her if Woody is her friend she says my friend no no no he's my accessory seriously heartless twit actually a terrible compassionless person with no respect for anybody we then sit the other half of the bisected zebra that the cat wrote the part earlier and it's it's a joke hey Dad saw your better half at the front of the store yeah you mess with the cat you get the claws I okay first of all I don't know how in the world you manage to crawl your top half away from the cat in time without it also eating your head but second of all really guys you you think this is funny this is literally a toy who was torn in half by a vicious cat who you just established not five minutes ago as being a massive threat that you needed to account for hey remember in the first movie when we went to Sid's room and it was a collection of mutilated Abomination toys that came to be as a result of sin mixing and matching different toy Parts remember how that was treated as a truly horrifying and terrifying thing because it was literally a case of ripping body parts from the toys and reattaching them to other toys like you could actually be convinced this was a horror movie kind of scary yeah well not anymore now toy mutilation is a funny haha please laugh buzz off you stupid movie also how does Bill even know any of these toys we learned in lamp life that she spent her entire time in the NT store glued to a stationary position what in the world did she get the chance to meet the pinball machine toys I just what now it's time to meet yet another new character John Wick yep another new character not like we've already been introduced to a truckload of new toys or anything like that but what look at all the new toys they introduced in Toy Story three you don't have a problem with that do you no shut up that is a blatant false equivalency and you are lying if you say otherwise Toy Story 3 did not have to sideline the entirety of the original cast in order to shine a light on their new characters they maintain the family Dynamic from the first two movies and still managed to make you care about all the new characters in spite of it but in this movie they have to lock all the toys we actually care about into the RV to make you go into character withdrawal and then shove new characters onto the screen to satisfy your itch oh and one other thing this toy is absolutely useless to this film there is absolutely nothing they do throughout the movie that could not have been easily accomplished in his absence and no using him to jump the aisle does not count because that is the most brain dead plan for reaching the cabin you could have ever caught up with as I discussed earlier this does nothing but put them in unnecessary danger there is no reason to make this jump just distract the cat and then stack on top of each other like you already planned to do in Toy Story of Terror I'll go get one together we'll be able to reach the handle there's a blatantly obvious path to success that the characters are choosing to completely ignore just to drag out this film even more hey remember this scene from Phineas and Ferb there must be some trick to opening this case a latch or somebody to twist dinner or we could hit it with a rock yeah that works no no the other one we have to figure out or we could hit it with a rock no no the other one how many jelly beans in the jar so the face of the jar is pi times radius squared of a crying out loud damn zero okay technically that is correct but you did not show your work I will in about 20 minutes well what do you know the characters the face of the problem that need to overcome someone suggested ridiculously overcomplicated strategy and then someone else points out an infinitely easier instant win plan they could use instead and instantly solve the puzzle Phineas and Ferb did this better in 2010 and 2012 than a 200 million dollar Pixar film released in 2019. awesome why does Buford Vance stalm have a better understanding of problem-solving skills than Bo Peep but as if that wasn't bad enough there's one more aspect of John Wick's character that we haven't gone over yet he once had a kid named mijon who saw his commercial on TV and won the toy for himself only to realize that it was all a lot of Huey and the toy can't actually make the jumps that the ads claim that he can and as a result of the kid making this discovery he throws John Wick away because of the false advertising and winds up giving him PTSD for the rest of his life anytime anyone ever mentions the word kid please Mr Kaboom this is real really important my kid you have a kid oh hey Duke show us some more poses what do you say I had a kid oh no and this is how this struggle is portrayed by this writing team okay okay calm down Duke that was a long time ago uh Cooley you Frosty Gremlin buzz off stop doing this stop trampling all over the original trilogy with every scene you Cobble together remember three hours ago when I went over how heartbreakingly wonderful Jesse's backstory is remember in Toy Story 3 when Chuckles tells the tale of how lotto's worldview became warped after being accidentally left behind and subsequently replaced which is a situation disturbingly similar to what may have wound up happening to Woody Woody could have been in that same situation he could have gotten lost and come back and found a new Woody you know we like to think that Lotso and Woody are very alike in a lot of ways but at this moment Lotso makes a bad choice you know how these scenes are handled with nothing but professionalism and maturity in regards to the subject matter of Abandonment and growing up or perhaps going to terms with being another Cog in a machine you know how every single element in this scene Works to elicit a sad and emotional reaction from the audience because the writers understood total consistency and emotional intelligence yeah well not anymore now we need to all stop and have a laugh at the funny Keanu Reeves toy undergoing significant PTSD instead of encouraging the audience to empathize with him in any meaningful way and the sad part is that it works listen to this garbage it was the happiest Boxing Day of My Life the audiences fell for this the writers had them wrapped around their little finger despite the fact that the subject of Abandonment should not be handled with this jovial attitude that Josh Cooley really loves to employ in regards to extremely serious topics this character is terrible from every conceivable aspect both in terms of how he spits on previous characters backstories and in terms of how he impacts the plot of this film but because he's voiced by Keanu Reeves that's all it takes of people to lose their minds over him and while we're at it it's the same thing for the Looney Tunes Pixar got a legendary comedic Duo to voice their characters and that's all it takes for people to eat this schlop up just get immensely talented voice actors to carry your script for you whenever you fail the right someone that can survive on its own works every single time but as if all that wasn't bad enough this scene isn't over yet because Bo still has to formally request his hell before they can get on with the plot as is standard procedure with lengthy strings of nonsense in the script I'll run you through the whole scene and it'll tell you why none of it makes any sense Bo Peep tells Neo that she needs his help because Annabelle has fourth face in her sheep to which Neo empathetically says no Billy go to gruff those are my girls he then asks her why she was getting tangled up with Annabelle in the first place to which she says that some toy thought it would be a good idea to wander into the aisle leading to Neo talking about how it doesn't make any sense to do that and that the best route to the cabinet is behind the shelves and that the toy who wandered into the aisle is a complete idiot for doing that what the f I can't say who wrote this garbage where do I even begin okay first you know the names of her sheep how literally how how would you know their names at all you've been in the paintball machine this whole time which we know since this is where Bo knew defined in this fight not being in the Antigo for a long time and we also know that Beau never left her lamp while she was here she was literally glued down until she broke out and escaped the store when did you ever get the chance to meet him let alone introduce your sheep to him also really you expect me to believe that Beau would consciously tell the names of her sheep to Neo but would only mention them in passing around Woody are you kidding me what bird brand on the writing team came up with that also remember earlier when I said they were going to use the fact that Woody doesn't know the names of her sheep to try to make him look even worse because the people who wrote this movie actively hate these characters yeah well here's the payoff for all those setups that I established earlier second listen to this dialogue and I mean really listen to it think really hard about what these characters are saying what were you doing getting tangled up with Gabby Gabby some toy thought it would be a good idea to wander into the eye that answer doesn't make any sense you were already entangled with Annabelle from the minute she kidnapped four face for use as a hostage it is absolutely nothing to do with Woody walking into the aisle he was already on her radar you just wanted an excuse to belittle Woody for doing what he did again and as a gentle reminder him wandering into the aisle to get to the cabinet would have worked flawlessly if you guys had the key which was the only piece of information about this plan you didn't tell him and that he therefore could not have possibly accounted for in his decision-making process but you just completely ignore all that context because you are a condescending I can't say third Johnny silverhand says that the best route is behind the show by which he means that they need to navigate behind the shelves in order to reach the jump point which doesn't make any sense at all because it literally doesn't matter what route you take to reach that jump when you're gonna end up in the field of vision of the dummies no matter what this conversation is bleeding out as we're talking about it nothing the characters are saying is running with any amount of logic whatsoever who wrote this cognitive diarrhea Bo gives Johnny a motivational speech and instantly converts him from feeling the big sad to feeling happy to the Power of Words while Woody stands around like a useless plank of wood because Bo Peep is so awesome and what he sucks at everything and is well I'll just let the film describe him he's useless as if we needed any further confirmation as to what these writers motivations were when they were making the stupid movie to actively destroy the heroes of the original trilogy no matter what it takes come hell or high water Woody would not just stand around here doing nothing he was the leader of the original trilogy he was a problem solver he led the toys he wouldn't just twiddle his thumbs while both does all the work what are you people doing to these characters so then buzzing the game joined up with Woody and bow in the pinball machine it is revealed that they have successfully obtained the key how do they do this you may ask foreign oh my God again again we're doing it again we're doing it again how many times are you just gonna make these characters continually get lucky over and over again Pixar literally has a poster of Storytelling rules one of which explicitly states that coincidences that get characters out of trouble is cheating and yet here you are shoving the characters from point to point through nothing but pure contritements and coincidence with absolutely no self-awareness whatsoever we didn't how they do it and we knew it had to be fast and funny and this was fast and funny that means you need to rewrite your script you chuckleheads if you have written your characters into a situation where you literally cannot think of a way for them to accomplish their mission then you need to rewind a bit and rework the story to a point where you can't come up with a reasonable resolution to the problem you don't just cheat your way out of it by having the shopkeeper conveniently place the key right in front of the characters who need it at the exact moment they needed it whatever moving on okay now it's time to set the plan in motion it's definitely move beneath the shelves and then Woody and Bill climb up to a film projector and use the real Insider to lift up Ted's launcher and what what are you doing just walk across the aisle to the cabinet this is pointless watch this scene again Bo looks at the Chucky doll waits for it to turn its head and then walks out of cover she fully understands the content of stealthily navigating the aisle and yet still wants to commit to the most unstealthy and obvious stunt you could possibly imagine this is absolutely ridiculous wait wait wait a minute show me that shot again what there are no Chucky dolls on this side of the cabinet look at this there's one on this corner and one on this corner but nobody guarding this entire side of the cabinet why do you not have anybody guarding the side of the cabin that has the entrance doors on it and wait a minute if the shopkeeper is distracted by a customer there's nobody actually guarding the side of the cabin then you don't need to do the jump literally just walk across the aisle former Tower of toys open the door get four face and then leave Woody already did that earlier when there was a dog guard in the area and almost got away with it you are guaranteed a win if you run across right now you don't need 10 and if you absolutely want to include him in your scripts you can plaster keanuary's a love of the marketing then just have him distract the cat since we learned later that said cat is clearly and capable of keeping up with him you don't need to do this incredibly risky jump this is all pointless what are you doing who wrote this what is happening to the script no you're always trying to boil down to the uh to the essentials uh in the writing I guess that little lesson never got passed on to this writing team oh my God okay whatever moving on Beau tells what is it she didn't want to sit around on the Shelf waiting for her life to happen so she left and that she'll be hitching a ride with the traveling Carnival and going off to see the world world after she collects the XP for finishing the fork face side quest then we get the shot that seems to have been specifically crafted for use in the trailer so the Pixar can Flex their muscles a bit more except that this gorgeous shot doesn't make any sense because it lasts for literally less than a minute and then the storm magically goes back to the way that it was beforehand it's just the ceiling of an antique store but it had to be this beautiful magical thing it was that right time of day when the light hits the chandelier magic hour yeah the crazy thing about magic hour is that it lasts for a little bit more than just a few seconds the sun literally popped into position for less than a minute and then all of a sudden the pretty lights are gone I can't say and now it's time to begin what may very well be the single worst scene in the entire film I hesitate to call it the worst overall as long as the ending exists but it's definitely the worst action scene we are gonna have to go through this Insanity in slow motion because there's hardly a second of screen time where something isn't broken in the scene let's break this trash down the scene begins with Woody and uh Johnny Utah barreling towards the ramp but then it's a commercial it's not real oh for Pete's sake stop it this is all just one big joke to you you have no respect for the previous movies you gave this Evil Knievel knockoff an emotionally scoring back sword Just Like Jesse and Lotso had and then played It Up For Laughs because you hate this series with every fiber of your being just admit it already if you had the chance to remake those movies you'd make Jesse's backstory out to be a hilarious event in her life and portray her chronic claustrophobia and fear of Abandonment as funny jokes and you wouldn't even think twice about it but it doesn't even matter because Utah perfectly makes the jump anyway and Woody successfully grabs onto the handle of the captain while Johnny crashes to the floor and drives away to distract the cat meaning that you literally could have just had him do this in the first place and then sent Woody to climb up to the cabinet and absolutely nothing would have changed in the slightest but he had to get that cool trailer shot in there didn't you okay so then Bo zip lines across to joining Woody and then climb inside the retrieve Fork face meanwhile outside Weaver wobble jumps on the Buzz's shoulder and lets him know that the Chucky dolls will disappear from on top of the cabinet revealed that they actually teleported behind buzz in the Looney Tunes how how did you do that why does everybody keep teleporting all over the place in this movie how did the dummies climb down off the cabinet walk through the aisle and then climb up behind Buzz without Weevil noticing them how could she possibly not have seen that her entire job was to stand up here and be a lookout she had one job and she failed colossally why did it take you this long to bounce back to relive the incredibly Urgent Message that the dummy to disappeared and actually how didn't Buzz see the dummies climb down he was looking straight ahead prior to this point how did none of you see them climb down from that cabinet how did you climb up here so quickly back inside the cabinet Annabelle and the Chucky dolls appear out of nowhere and Corner Woody and Bo Peep and so seeing that he's in trouble Buzz dispatches the two dolls effortlessly and then quickly grabs a string and pulls back to yank Woody out of there and wait wait wait a minute who was holding on to the string as an anger when you were all captured by the dummies they had hold of all of you and none of you were holding onto the string so who was making sure this thing didn't roll off the platform whatever Buzz pulls Woody out of the cabinet while Annabelle simultaneously grabs hold of Woody's pull string which then causes his voice box to play a line which then causes the cat to turn into tension away from Johnny utahan onto Woody which ultimately results in Buzz engaging in a tug of war Battle with Annabelle and the Chucky doll while Woody dangles over a highly dangerous cat I cannot understate how much is wrong with just this one shot first of all pay attention to Bo Peep throughout this scene in this shot Beau is standing back to back with Woody surrounded by the dolls and in the very next shot of the cabinet she disappears Into Thin Air where did you go what happened to you did you also gain magical teleportation skills why does everyone keep teleporting in this movie if you didn't disappear from the scene Annabelle would have immediately lost so the writers knew they had to get her out of the shot but they couldn't think of a reasonable way for that to happen so they just said screw it and just deleted her from the scene this movie is full of baloney second the cat notices Woody's voice box talking but not the humans seriously the shopkeeper and customers don't hear this even if you think they wouldn't hear Woody you are never in a million years gonna get me to believe that they wouldn't hear the cat freaking out out when last she saw it the cat was sound asleep this movie is full of baloney third this is not how pulse rings work Woody's voice boss would not be saying any lines because the sound will only play once the string is released and the tension built up turns the disc to play the sound and this is clearly something the writers are aware of for once because in every other instance throughout this movie that upholstering is pulled the voice line does not play until the string is released but because you couldn't think of a way to reasonably interweave the cat with the main action you just throw your hands up into the air and said I don't know his voice box plays a line did I die I guess which doesn't make any sense at all and makes even less sense that the voice box would continually play multiple lines while the string is extended and the reason why this is so important is because his voice box playing a line is the only reason why the cat notices he's there at all and enters the battlefield a cat which proves to be a Monumental player in the battle it's about to ensue this movie is full of baloney fourth the dummy wins this battle of tug of war how literally how is a ventriloquist dummy who barely has any control of his limbs stronger than Space Ranger action figure Buzz Lightyear look at this the stupid dummy pulls in Woody and causes Buzz to drop to his knees all by himself how in the name of eating utensils did you win this and where in the world is Bo right now oh wait there she is wait a minute what the heck were you doing back there around the corner Woody was literally about to have his voice box flipped out of him what were you doing oh please tell me you were trying to find your sheep please tell me that you care more about the sheep that are literally dangling from Chucky's rear end then Woody who is currently about to lose his voice box please tell me that's what you were doing I dare you you should have been right here from the beginning fighting off the dummies you were right there but then the writers cheated Again by teleporting you out of the shot only to bring you right back into the battle anyway this movie is full of baloney anyway Beau effortlessly dispatches Annabelle and Chucky and finds her sheep and then she kills drop it what are you kidding me you could have done this the whole time it's literally all it took all you had to do was literally just tell your sheep to drop it and they'd have been released from the crash of the dummies immediately then why didn't you do that earlier you had the audacity to sit there and shoot out Woody for doing this sensible thing just because he chose not to adhere to your brain dead plan when all along all you had to do was say two words and immediately free your sheep you are a terrible person you're either too stupid to realize what you've done to you're too much of a heartless monster to care but wait we're not done yet because another Chucky doll teleports into the scene behind Woody and the altercation causes him to knock four face out of the cabinet and onto the floor below where he instantly becomes Prime real estate for the cat's dinner and where is Keanu Reeves what is he doing right now you're supposed to be distracting the cat that's your one job what are you doing wait the whole point of this mission was to rescue the spork and the sheep and one of those two toys is about to become catch off you don't do something about it but then then Bo says they need to go and jumps onto the zip lines literally less than a second before Woody grabs the string and pulls it taut watch this shot again in slow motion Bo had no way of knowing what Woody was going to do if he didn't grab this string to pull it taut at that exact moment Beau would have plummeted to her death and shout out to porcelain pieces quite the ballsy move bow good Lord also Beau tells Woody that it's time to go despite the fact that four face is in Mortal danger they are in this situation right now because she agreed to help Woody rescue this Spork he is the Catalyst of all of this he is the reason you are here right now and you are more than willing to completely abandon him in spite of all of that which all I can't exactly say is out of character for this new version of Beau it is very indicative of the fact that Bo's interests do not align with Woody to even a minor degree she was there to get her sheep and get out she didn't care about four face in the slightest absolute I can't say but fear not everyone because while Woody's competence may have been obliterated by this movie his undying loyalty to his friends in the face of danger has not been and so he fearlessly jumps down from his cabinet to rescue Fort face and aims for the cat why did you aim for the cat why did you do this in the way that you did Here's a thought tell buzz what you're gonna do so he invoke Embrace for the sudden shift and wait jump down grab the stupid Spork and then have him yank you away to safety kinda like what you did in the opening scene of the movie you chose the stupidest possible way to do this and as a result Beau loses her grip and starts Falling Towards the ground but before she dies she grabs a hold of the string to secure herself but oh no she loses hold of her sheep and they start careening towards the floor and so they die oh wait don't they don't but what do you people understand what these toys are made out of do you understand how fragile porcelain is both people is kept out of Toy Story 3 for this very reason because if you gave a porcelain doll to a rampaging caterpillar room toddler or if you had her undergrove this landfill scene then she'd about 17 times the official Bo Peep toy which has the certificate of authenticity from Pixar looks just like a porcelain doll but isn't actually one because any child that had an actual bulk keep doll made of porcelain would have broken her within the first hour of owning it there's no other way to say this you're dead you are dead you're like super dead you cracked the instant you hit the legend and shout out to Pieces when you hit the floor you did not lose a single toe and then land safely on the ground like nothing happened how do you keep not dying how many times do I have to kill you boy so then Woody tries to Wrangle the cat which only leads to him tumbling backward and pulling all the other toys down into the danger zone with him but as it happens Buzz safely lands on Bonnie's backpack how is Bonnie's backpack here how did this happen you were in the store for less than a minute why did you take off your backpack it's not damaged the straps are perfectly fine and you were holding on to said straps so it definitely didn't accidentally fall off so that means you must have consciously chosen to take off your backpack why you came in here and then immediately left why did you do that were you trying to get a second date with the antique store when did you find the time to do this how did you even make it out of the NC Store like this how did your mom not notice that you didn't have your Backpacker on especially when a if you were holding your mom's hand both When you entered the store and when you left the store but you could not have possibly taken off the backpack without letting go of her hand and there's absolutely no way the mom wouldn't have noticed you let go of her hand and B don't forget you get your backpack don't forget your backpack don't forget your backpack wait a minute she never even was part of the antique store they were Bonnie first a store earlier in the film in front of the glass cabinet and Bonnie never came anywhere near them they walked in and then walked right back out again but in order for this backpack to have gone here she would have had to also walk all the way over here to drop it off that doesn't make any sense because we literally saw them the entire time and they never came over here and I'd like to remind you of the only reason she even had a backpack to drop off in the store in the first place is because Bonnie randomly decided to put it on during a quick search outside the RV despite the fact that she didn't have it on when she walked out the door what is happening in the script who wrote this what is going on anymore then the stupid cat gets distracted by Weeble wobbly Woody what are you still doing in the cat's back look at him he's literally just lying limp on the cat's back doing absolutely nothing the cat is distracted by Weeble grab four freeze while you had the chance what are you doing grab four face and then try to Wrangle the cat so that it doesn't exactly anyway she's dead since there's no way the cat didn't swallow that tiny little thing immediately and then Annabelle finally wakes up again and sends every single Chucky doll to Corner Woody and prevent him from leaving while the cat just runs around in a circle and nobody else is doing anything to help why isn't Buzz helping Woody how many times do I have to keep reminding you usually the sandbags about these scenes in the original trilogy Buzz would not sit around while Woody was in danger but it's not just him this time nobody's doing anything to help here they are literally standing on the sidelines of the battlefield doing diddly squat standing around like useless potatoes what are you doing how are none of the customers seeing this how does a shopkeeper not hear This calamity then Beau orders everyone to grab onto the string that's forming a conga line of idiots that Jack's driving leads in a wild chase out of the store and then they leave four face behind are you kidding me you idiots had one mission one rescue the sport and you couldn't even do that this is like navigating the temple and Raiders of the Lost Ark and then leaving before taking the idol not a single one of you thought to grab forces before you escape the antique store really so then Bo pulls out a dresser to take down the Chucky dolls and Jack leads everyone out the store up a plank of weather just so happened to be placed at the perfect angle to serve as a ramp out of the store through a single pane of glass that just happens to be missing there's not only one singular pane of glass that's just missing for some reason but also a ramp that conveniently leads directly up through what is the script Nothing runs with any cause of effect it's all just a never-ending string of characters getting incredibly lucky every second that they're on screen and then the cat vomits up Weeble how did you not swallow this thing instantly how are you this activist by presumably choking on the damn thing and then the cat just gives up why up until two seconds ago you were dead set on eating every single one of these toys but now you're just gonna string back into the store why what is happening right now who wrote this what was the scene what did I just watch nothing that happened throughout that entire sequence made even a little bit of sense I am absolutely astonished that nobody at pixel saw any problems with even a single one of those things before starting off in the script how did this happen the stupid script oh my God okay so then Woody turns to ask if everyone's all right and everyone is so he immediately says that they can still get four face out of there before they lock him up again if they hurry because Woody's loyalty and resolve is unbreakable no matter the odds he's up against but absolutely nobody else shares his determination including Buzz Buzz Lightyear does not side with Woody in his determination to rescue the sport that he should know full well means the world to Bonnie ah but you see Buzz actually has a reason why he doesn't think they should go back inside right now and it goes like this he saw Bunny's backpack in the antique store and so long as that backpack is in the antique store Bonnie has to go back to get it so they still have time to think of a more detailed plan rather than rushing in blindly now that sounds like solid logic until you think about it for five seconds then you realize that it doesn't matter at all Buzz the issue is not that Woody is afraid that they're running out of time before Bonnie leaves the issue we have a much better shot at getting four face out of there if he's not locked in the cabinet so they need to move fast before they get the chance to do so pointing out that Bonnie's backpack is still in the antique store doesn't address that issue at all also it doesn't even hold as isolated basic logic anyway Bonnie could very easily forget her backpack as evidenced by earlier scenes in the film and her forgetful nature in general and the fact that she entered the store midday and it is now night time and she still hasn't realized that her backpack is missing should probably tell you something about the likelihood of her remembering it also also the presence of that backpack in the store doesn't make rescuing Fork face any easier in fact it makes it even harder because of your plan is to return to the Antique store in the RV when they realize the backpack is missing but you confirmed to be the case shortly after the scene then you now have even more people in that store to try to sneak around at an extremely limited time we know to get into the cabinet and get four fish out of there all of which has to be done without any of the humans seeing you despite the backpack being right next to the cabinet not that this film cares about toys not being seen by humans given how fast and loose they've been throughout the entire runtime but you get my point this is a ridiculous plan it doesn't account the situation at all this movie is full of baloney but for as stupid as Buzz bringing this up is the next conversation makes even less sense Beau tells Woody that nobody wants this because she's a heartless Monster look I don't like this sport in fact I hate everything about him I don't know if you could tell but that doesn't mean I want to leave him for dead especially because we can clearly see how important he is to Bonnie I can at least mildly understand the Looney Tunes in Keanu Reeves not wanting to go back inside but Buzz agreed to be with Woody for infinity and beyond and Bo shouldn't be confused by why Woody wants to go back inside given everything she knows about his values and principles and yet because the writers don't understand these characters she is utterly baffled and repeatedly asks him why he wants to rescue forkface and his response is because why just because which doesn't make any sense because seconds later he says Bonnie needs four kids so why didn't you just say that in the first place but then we get this little Humdinger of a line no you need Bonnie what what are you talking about who wrote that you aren't making any sense this isn't because of what he wants to be with binds he's is Woody wants to reunite and four face with Bonnie because he sees how much Bonnie misses him kind of like that thing that you said in the first movie if only you could see how much Andy misses you but because the writers fundamentally misunderstand everything about the world and characters they're writing for they just make bow contract Amnesia about everything they've been through over the years and then subsequently Make Her Say one of the stupidest things in the entire series if Woody's motivation was just to be with Bonnie because he needs it was so badly then he could just go run back to the RV right now with buzz and immediately accomplish that objective yet he doesn't do that he's willing to risk his life to save four phase because his loyalty always lies with what will make his child happy but apparently you're too brained to understand that because the writers aren't capable of writing characters that are smarter than they are then Bo says that there are plenty of kids out there and that it can't be all about the one he's still clinging to which is inherently a line that makes you want to jump off our roof but thankfully I don't have to lose it this time because Woody's gonna do it for me it's called loyalty something a lost toy wouldn't understand I swear to God remember this line do not forget this line of dialogue burn it into your brain what he is all about loyalty it is his core character trait that Above All Else he is loyal to his kid and to his friend that no toy ever gets left behind don't forget this but the stupidity isn't over yet because then bugs says find our own kid you're crazy find your own kid you you would literally begging and play me with bus to get you your own game earlier why did it take you this long to realize that because you are literally free now you can go wherever you want and find your own kid anywhere but then then for the final wave of cognitive sewage we get one last interaction between Woody and Buzz before this scene ends Woody you did all you could time to go home who are you what happened to The Buzz Lightyear that would never abandon the toy just like what he taught you to do even if you want to stay consistent within this film what happened to The Buzz Lightyear who just hours ago said Woody was right we all should have been safeguarding you utensils you have seen how distraught Bonnie is over the stupid Spork you know how damaging it's going to be to her if you don't get four face back to her before you leave what is this scene who wrote there yes now I want you to listen up and listen good because you probably are not going to believe what I'm going to say next but I assure you I am not lying to you I am not kidding you here the writers are in fact this stupid and this does in fact actually happen in this moronic movie what he climbs back into the antique store because he doesn't leave toys behind and then in contemplating whether or not he should follow him inside Buzz starts pushing the Buns on his chest so they can tell him what to do and they all tell him to retreat fall back and return to Star Command which buzz then interprets as his inner voice telling him to go back to the RV and as a result Buzz abandons Woody and flees the scene back to the RV all because his voice box told him to I cannot understate how monumentally stupid this is this would never ever happen there's no way in the world Buzz would ever leave Woody behind for any reason ever let alone because of stupid buttons on his chest told him he needs to leave he didn't abandon him when Scott was about to eat him he didn't abandon him without kidnapped him or at any point between that in the point when Woody was safely back with a group and away from the clutches of the prospector and he didn't abandon Woody when he was seconds away from being shredded to Pieces no way in the world are you ever going to gamble to believe that buzz is unwilling to help Woody find out some stupid Chucky dolls on a cat when he was willing to risk being shredded to Pieces when Woody needed his help so Buzz here this is continuing the joke of his inner voice no shut up stop stop your mouth shut this isn't imagination this is you taking everything these characters stood for and carrying them to Pieces because you find it funny you think it's so hilarious to destroy characters that meant the world to kids and adults all around the world without any shred of remorse this was a way to get him to go back to the RV so that Woody could be alone with Gabby yeah because obviously Buzz would never leave Woody so you had to contrive a nonsensical scenario in which he doesn't you still failed it didn't make sense to have Buzz just chase after Woody would it just cause more story problems then that means you need to rewrite your script so you can alleviate those story problems that doesn't mean you just snap your fingers and contrive nonsensical reasons for characters to do things because you aren't talented enough to write a natural reason for them to happen and you're either too stupid or too malicious to honor the characters that were established over 25 years ago have you ever seen a director slay their intelligence and credibility this publicly and with this much confidence those garbage bags in the background are another example of something that shouldn't be hard but is the characters couldn't interact with them there's a couple shots with his sheep or touching them but not really or some things right you know it's funny money because the animators who made Toy Story three minutes to make the trash bags work and had characters constantly moving around inside and that movie came out nine years ago so you certainly can't blame technology on this one they tried to explain it to me I'm like I don't I don't understand I know you don't understand Cooley that's the moral of this movie is you not understanding this world these stories or these characters and doing it all with over inflated and unearned confidence so now it's time for the final confrontation against Annabelle and there isn't a single thing about the scene that I don't hate but you know the drill I'll run through it all and then we'll talk about it Woody opens the curtain and comes face to face with Annabelle in her Army of Chucky dolls she tauntingly tells him that she knew he'd be back and he responds by saying that she doesn't know him to which she says that she actually does know him and she begins to repeat back what forkface told her earlier in the film talking about how he was left in the closet feeling useless and then tries to appeal to his morals by saying that the most noble thing a toy can do is to be there for a kid and then she foreign she proceeds to Rattle off his entire life story recounting all the major moments he spend with Andy from riding a bike with him comforting him in times of need and watching him grow up and then offering that same level of comfort to Bonnie she asks Woody if it's as wonderful as it sounds to which he says that it was followed by Annabelle saying she'd give anything to be loved the way Woody has been and as a result of this conversation Woody agrees to give up his voice box so long as she gives him Fork face and there it is the exact moment when I first watched this film and I wanted to strangle something we are stopping this dead in its tracks because it's finally time to talk about Annabelle as a villain let's not mince words here she is an awful person she is emotionally manipulative torturous and rotten to the core committing terrible atrocities throughout this film and yet she is rewarded for her evil actions out of the kindness of Woody's heart no other Toy Story villain is afforded this level of kindness Sid ripped toys apart and stitched them back together to create his own Abominations which while he may not have been aware that he was is dealing damage to living beings it was still causing great amounts of pain and suffering and he showed no compunctions about destroying his sister's toys and terrifying her in the process the prospector held Woody Jesse and Bullseye Hostage to fulfill his selfish desire to go back to Japan and was even willing to send Buzz plummeting to his death off the edge of the conveyor belts and Lotso aside from being a tyrannical dictator who condemned the toys to Eternal torture in the caterpillar room and controlling everyone around him with an iron fist was willing to condemn Woody in the game to death by incineration even after they saved his life these people are evil with corrupted Souls who should not be defended under any circumstances but you know something else about all three of these villains they got their Just Desserts Sid is now traumatized for the rest of his life this child will never be the same no level of therapy could ever repair the damage that was done to him in the scene the prospector is now doomed to live out the rest of his life under the care of Amy who draws all over her toys ultimately giving him his worst nightmare coming true especially since he believes that the final destination for toys to belong to Children is always the dump and Lotso is now strapped to the front of the dumpster truck and he'll stay like that forever his arms and legs permanently stretched out to the sides as bugs permanently fly into his face and he slowly rots away as the years go by and now we come to Annabelle a toy who held fourth face hostage was willing to almost successfully did rip out Woody's voice box by hand and he utilized emotional manipulation to coerce Woody into capitulating to her desires and what is the end game for her actions the very thing she always wanted for Woody to give up his voice box and the only thing that changes about her demeanor is that she goes from demanding what he give it up to emotionally manipulating him and then saying okay but like I really want the voice box though please give it to me no throwing Woody's emotional Journeys with Annie and Bonnie back in his face and then saying I just want to be played with does not excuse the things you've done throughout this movie and if your response to that is to say but she just wants to be played with don't you feel bad for her okay fine let's play this game with the other Toy Story villains all Sid wanted is play with his toys the way he wanted to it's not like he knew they were alive all the prospects he wanted to do was to be loved and adored by children for Generations because he had to sit idly by and watch all the other toys in the dime store shelf be sold all lots of wanted was to feel important again after watching himself get replaced by Daisy he just wanted a place where he can feel like he mattered well he would be played with respectfully and lovingly by children see how easy it is you can reframe any of their stories in this flowery way if you want to and that's exactly what this film is trying to do it's swelling the music and lighting the lights in the exact way they need you to emotionally manipulate you into thinking that she's not a terrible person the same way that she's manipulating Woody in this scene and it's absolutely despicable music here is going into her theme when she was talking to Forkey about wanting to be with Harmony that way we know that this is true what she's saying and we didn't want the audience in any way to think she was trying to trick him lighting also exactly she walks into the warm light where he is dummy stay back in the cool light back there on cool darkness no shut up ignore the visual flare music for a minute and just think about the actions he's taken she's absolutely horrible the fact that she has an emotionally scarring backstory doesn't matter at all because I promise you that saying this person had a traumatic past and therefore all the evil actions they Undertaker Justified is not a road you want to go down that is a slippery slope that I can't guarantee you do not want to commit yourself to sliding down and yet she is handed her Redemption and rewards on a silver platter she gets exactly what she wants and spoiler alert when it doesn't work the universe hand delivers her a second chance to achieve her dream it's like she missed a stop on the elevator so the universe course corrected to give her more floors to get off at she doesn't even say sorry she doesn't even apologize to Woody for what she's trying to do to him throughout this movie she never faces any consequences for her actions nor does she ever admit that she did anything wrong and the absolute worst part of it is how Woody's decision is characterized the film portrays his choice to give up his voice box as a noble act but that is not what is happening here he was forced into this he only agrees to give it up because Anna animal emotionally manipulates Woody and coerces him into doing what she wants it literally doesn't matter if he said yes or no because whether or not he agreed she was gonna take his voice box anyway and that's the cherry on top this is all allowed to happen because forkface spilled his guts to animal because he's an idiot and because Woody made the single most ridiculous forehand slip in the history of toy kind I told you this is going to define the climax of this film and it's absolutely pathetic it doesn't even make any sense of a motivational perspective of her to want his fourth box in the first place if you need the new part so badly why don't you just get on the shopkeeper's computer and order a new one if you can pull off all this Insanity then there's no way you can't swipe her credit card if you need it that badly then why don't you just do that what was your plan gonna be if Woody never showed up also most toys do not have a voice box and you need to look no further than Bonnie's tour collection to see that for yourself Harmony may not need anything more than just a doll to be happy she may not care whether you can talk or not nobody would ever even know that you need a voice box for all you know the kid might actually like you better if your voice box is busted he's so ugly in fact had they gone down a route where woody teaches her that she doesn't need a voice box to be loved by a child this could have served as a really nice life lesson for the audience about being yourself about how you don't need to change your appearance or who you are to be loved that you don't need to try to make yourself better just to get people to like you now you should want people to accept and love you for who you are not for who they want you to be but no instead the writers of this film believe that Annabelle needs to literally replace her voice box just to be accepted and if you think about this in a different light such as comparing Gabby's defective voice box to people living with disabilities it starts to send a much more disgusting message out to the world which is straight up insulting when Finding Dory is a film in Pixar's catalog that masterfully tackles the topic of characters with disabilities Dory Destiny Hank and bayley all have some kind of disability but none of them let it Define them in fact their stories all revolve around accomplishing incredible Feats even in spite of their disabilities they didn't need to conceal them or change anything about themselves compared to Toy Story 4 where the writers want kids to think that if they are born with any kind of a disability they don't have a chance of being loved unless they find a way to change that that is the message that the writers want people to take away from this film and if they didn't intentionally want to send it then that means they're just too stupid to realize what they've done and given how they've written Annabelle I can guarantee you they'll never admit that they did anything wrong this is absolutely despicable and when you stack this on top of all the other serious topics that you've handled so immaturely you should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves so then we cut back to the RV where Magnum has only just managed to fix the flat tire why did it take you an entire day to fix a single flat tire why are you not using a jack do you not think to bring one in the RV in case it's ever happened seriously if you're so incompetent that it takes you all day to fix a flat tire then why did you not just call roadside assistance how does it take you all day to change a single Tire why is everyone in this film so stupid anyway just so the family's getting ready to leave Buzz Reveals His plan to the other toys so wait for Bonnie to realize that her backpack is missing and then magically rescue Woody and Ford face once they get there somehow let's see how well this plan works out for them okay look like we have everything you good Bonnie yep great let's get out of here what a surprise a kindergartner who's known to be forgetful didn't know that her school backpack isn't with her I'm utterly stunned this plan failed I truly I'm just amazed gee it's almost as if you're a plea to Woody that but Bonnie's backpack is in there she has to go back at some point was a completely useless thing to say but remember Buzz is a [ __ ] now apparently just ah it was a tough balance too Joe Woody's story the story of all these other toys both story and all these new toys there's just a lot of characters in this movie you what it's talked about what is this verbal diarrhea hey Bumble clowns who was it that put all these new characters into the story again you you did that you brought this on yourself you shot a parade of new useless characters that nobody cares about instead of bringing along the characters we actually have an emotional connection with and writing another adventure with this family of toys you are complaining that it is a tough balance as if you aren't the director who had complete control over what new toys were and weren't added into the film buzz off you stupid movie so now that Bonnie has demonstrated appropriate behavior for a five-year-old child despite Buzz assuming otherwise for some stupid reason we need another plan to stop the family from leaving the carnival before they can rescue Woody and Fork face and I kid you not nobody has even the slightest idea of what to do next they all just sit there like useless cabbages while bus starts pushing the stupid buttons on his chest again hoping to tell him what to do buzz what are you doing I'm thinking oh stop doing this Buzz doesn't need a stupid inner voice to constantly guide him through the movie also I have a very easy way for you to get them to stay again just go send Jesse to pop the tire again the film has clearly demonstrated this man is useless and it takes him literally an entire day to fix a flat tire meaning that if you were to pick up that nail and then use it to pop the tire again they would be delayed for an entire other day and give you potentially a full 24 hours before you be able to fix it but because Buzz Jesse and all the other toys were all too brain dead to figure out what to do next we instead get a shot of Buzz repeatedly pressing his buttons over and over again desperately hoping they'll tell him what to do every other time throughout the movie they told him exactly what he needed to hear in every situation but all of a sudden none of them are telling him anything useful awesome but then then we get the scene that made me do a double take to see if I misheard the dialogue or if the writers were actually this creatively dull so because Buzz keeps mashing his buttons it causes Magnum to say hey will you please shut that toy up oh now you hear the toy really you hear it over the engine whirring surrounded by an active Carnival where you had absolutely no reaction to it in the middle of nowhere on the open road and the dead of the night when this happened no buzzer stop it stop selectively altering the hearing capabilities of your characters whenever you can't figure out what to do next in your script but that's not the worst part because as Pearl picks up Buzz trying to look for an off switch he is continually mashing his buttons which results in Magnum telling her to just put buzz on the cabinet to muffle the noise culminating in Buzz's Galaxy brain plan to say uh your backpacks to the Antique store let's go oh no my back what what are you kidding me how did this happen the mom doesn't even notice this how do you not think that's extremely weird not two seconds ago you were squabbling over how best to shut bugs up because you were so sick of hearing him talk and yet as soon as he says the most important line in the scene she magically goes death how did she not hear this and don't try to tell me it's because Buzz was muffled by the cabinet because Bonnie heard him say the line and she was all the way over here while Pearl was standing directly in front of Buzz he literally says your backpack is in the antique store and then Bonnie immediately remembers that her backpack is in the antique store are you going to tell me with a stray face that if you heard your daughter's toy say that and it ended up being true that you wouldn't start to think something strange was going on not to mention the fact that the quality of Buzz's voice lines is drastically different compared to when he's talking normally and when his voice box is saying a line [Music] your backpack's at the antique store let's go those two lines are back to back in this film and they could not sound any more different how did Pearl not notice this also they cheat again again again how many times in order for Buzz to activate his voice box he has to press buttons on his chest meaning that he has to physically move his arm towards his chest whenever he's on camera they show him deliberately waiting for Pearl to turn around so she can't see him do that which doesn't even make any sense by itself because Buzz doesn't have eyes on the back of his head so he has no way of knowing whether she's looking at him or not but putting that aside watch this shot very closely Pearl turns her head back toward Bonnie and then this happens and when we cut back she's looking right at him stop stop cheating stop being deliberately deceptive with your camera placements or trick the audience into thinking that your movie makes any sense let's run through that again the mom turns to her Bonnie you hear both the voice line and the sound effect of Buzz pressing his buttons and when we cut back she's looking at him meaning that she was looking right at him and yet he still somehow managed to push the button on his chest without her thinking something as a rhyme none of this makes any sense this is all pointless just have Jesse cut the stupid Tire again game over and Buzz is not always the brightest crayon in the Box shut up you defective toaster Buzz is is stupid word not for his quick thinking deductive abilities instruction planning they never would have made it through the original trilogy don't you dare try to Gaslight your audience into thinking otherwise with your slimy scumbag commentary like the hack writers you are this idea of him just yelling out inside the things it's just so funny in the pitch it worked first of all no it didn't work nothing in this scene is functioning properly it's all broken none of it makes any sense but second of all do you need any more proof they don't care about consistency they don't care about honoring the characters of the past so long as it's in service of a joke they will drag every single character from the original trilogy through the mud come hell or high water he does talk to Sid directly and then also he imitates Sid's mom's voice to get Hannah to go downstairs so it's been done before no stop stop talking every time you clowns open your mouth in an attempt to justify this bleeding script you just end up dumping a gallon of salt in the wound those are blatant false parallels and I'm going to tell you exactly why on the options that you hacks are actually too incompetent to realize the problem and aren't just being deliberately to set them again with your commentary in the first example you referenced Woody was trying to get Sid to freak out over seeing toys come to life that was the entire point of the scene to overwhelm him with all the tools and to directly talk to him to seal the deal and get him to run away so he can save buzz and in the other example he was trying to pass as a human when no human was around to see him at which point he would hide himself away wait for Hannah to run by and then run in to get Buzz out of the Tea Party those two situations are radically different from trying to pass off your real voice as your voice box and with a line that should absolutely freak the heck out of the mom well instead of that being the plan you're trying to convince him that this is totally normal these plans follow logically and make sense this plan was written by a wet noodle stop trying to drag these films into the pits of hell with your script get your sticky fingers off them okay next scene maybe this one about making him want to jump into an incinerator Bo is leading the Looney Tunes John Wick and wema wobble back to the Carousel where they left the skunk mobile but while she's getting ready to Dart across weave wobble says this Woody asking you for help on your mark and he treats you like that get set he only cares about himself what did that cat eat your brains out what do you mean he only cares about himself the entire Mission from the beginning has been all about rescuing for face and Woody puts himself in great danger to keep him safe at all costs in fact his first reaction upon crashing in the alley outside was to turn to everyone else and ask is everyone okay now what would beau's reaction have been if the situation were reversed and they successfully managed to rescue for face but not her sheep because given how she's treated everyone throughout this film I can guarantee her first reaction would be to drag everyone back into the store to get her sheep out of there with absolutely no concern for anyone else you have some nerve to accuse Woody of being selfish when Bo is literally willing to flee the scene as soon as she picked up her sheep happily condemning four face to death and paying absolutely no mind whatsoever to Woody's mission of rescuing him also so did I hear that correctly he treats you like that what the meanest thing he said to her was it's called loyalty something a lost toy wouldn't understand now let's run through the laundry list of condescension that Bo peeps engages throughout this movie what did I say Eileen you follow you really want to help then stay out of my way just stand there there quiet I'll do the talking my friend no no no he's my accessory some toy thought it would be a good idea to wander into the aisle that doesn't make any sense the best route is behind the shelves that would have been a better route wouldn't it sounds like a complete idiot he does plenty of kids out there he can't be just about the one you're still clinging to meanwhile he treats you like that he only cares about himself I don't I can't how do you write either of those lines if they make any sense at all what is this scene who wrote this also not one second later Bo says no what's the Looney Tunes think means go and they're immediately slammed into by the spinning Carousel and Bo just doesn't care at all they're screaming in Terror and pain and she doesn't give One Singular Hoot about it this could not be anyone poetically moronic if you try so then Bo gets pissed off because Weaver wobble insulted Woody and she says that he's always trying to do right by his kid and that's just gotta love him for it I don't I just how did you not come to this realization literally five minutes ago it took you five whole minutes to realize Woody's heart is always in his loyalty to his friends and his kid seriously all right so we can have the characters all break up at the end of the second act because of some stupid argument that makes no sense and is so clearly contrived and then get back together five seconds later it's in nearly every animated movie released into the sun nowadays even good ones and it's even starting to affect game releases and it's really starting to piss me off anyway Bo runs across to the center of the Carousel and repairs the tire for the skunk won't be able to fell off earlier effortlessly in a matter of seconds meaning that she is literally more capable of tire repair than an adult human awesome then she loads up a car wait how did you retrieve the sticky hand when did you retrieve the sticky hand boss we saw was daling from the top of the carousel where did you get it back what how what is the script and the Looney Tunes survived the Carousel of death really you think your crushed by huh okay moving on Woody wakes up after his surgery and then let's play all day oh Benson did you hear that isn't that lovely I hate everything about you so then Annabelle goes off to live happily ever after with Harmony and she has absolutely no qualms whatsoever about abandoning all her Chucky dolls to the Antique store forever because she is a terrible horrible no good very bad person in four faces finally returned to Woody just in time for Bonnie and her mom to call him walting into the store yeah yes I couldn't find it you couldn't what how did you not find the backpack it's literally lying on the floor next to the giant glass cabinet in the center of the store how could you possibly not have found this thing wait wait wait what how did it get there we're nowhere near the glass cabinet right now let us knock the ground we last saw it on even the backpack can teleport now why does everything in this movie constantly teleport why are you so bad at running consistently open wait it gets so much worse because Woody immediately dives into the backpack ready to go home to Bonnie but then the stupid sport stuff's dead on his tracks because he wants to watch animal get together with Harmony and worse yet Woody goes out to carry him into the backpack but then stops to watch the show as well when Fort face cries about wanting to see her get her happy ending why why do you care she did terrible things to you and even if she didn't you don't have time to muck around Bonnie could find that backpack any second you need to get inside that thing and get home immediately you don't have time for this your entire goal since step one was to return four face to Bonnie you were willing to Stage a one Cowboy assault on the antique store and take on animals entire Army he's is to bring him home but now you're abandoning that just so you can spectate her why why do you care yes it's within Woody's character to not condemn twice to death even in spite of all they've done previously we've seen that before with Lotso in the dump but Annabelle is not in any mortal danger here she's either gonna get with a kid or she isn't there's a difference between consciously choosing not to let a toy die and constantly choosing to sit around doing nothing but watching her get her happy ending especially when the backpack has a window in it that you could be watching this through who wrote this anyway Annabelle uses her voice box to ask Harmony to be her friend but she rejects her and tosses her into the bin of misery and the scene is framed in this really harrowing way that makes it seem like this terrible horrible thing that just happened it just makes me hate this film even more that's all the directors know how to do use the lighting music and camera to manipulate your emotions into feeling exactly what they want you to feel which is something that can be used to great effect if the script in question matches the emotion you are trying to elicit but you can also use that power for evil to trick your audience into feeling sad for a villain who's done nothing but horrible things this whole movie and to do that over and over and over again and nearly every scene because you know your script can't survive on its own and candidly admit to it in the director's commentaries of emotional manipulation of an audience as some virtuous talent you have but the Crazy Train ain't over yet because Woody decides that Annabelle deserves her happy ending and he has a plan to make it happen he tells fourth face to tell Buzz that it needs to get the Army to the Merry-Go-Round I don't know how he thinks they're going to accomplish that task but whatever we have bigger fish to fry here what is a merry-go-round the spinning ride with lights and and horses how do you know what a carousel is you've been alive for two days and you've never seen a carousel before why would you know what that is but not a merry-go-round this doesn't oh so seriously neither Bonnie nor her mom hear you talking in the backpack that's on her back seriously man the humans this movie have incredibly selective hearing that just seems to prioritize whatever the plot needs to happen so Woody jumps out of the backpack and Bonnie doesn't feel the shift in weight at all because of course she doesn't it runs over to the bin of misery to give Annabelle a pep talk he's currently soaking and feeling the big sad because she got rejected but then Woody says that a friend once told me there are plenty of kids out there and one of them his name Bonnie which doesn't make any sense at all this is a desperate attempt to make it seem like what he learns something from Bo Peep but that doesn't track logically because what Woody is telling her is that he can take her back to Bonnie and that Bonnie will love her so all the other kids out there who aren't Bonnie literally don't matter at all right now and there was no reason to say this line other than to try in desperation to make it seem like Beau taught him a valuable life lesson and it just Falls flat on its face no you didn't hey remember when you convinced Jesse and balza to come with him in Toy Story 2 by simply saying Andy will play with all of us I know it wouldn't you give anything just to have one more day with Emily this is what it's all about to make a child happy and that's besides he's got a little sister plenty of kids in the sea so why are you forgiving her you weren't here for the scene where the writers and Annabelle both tried to manipulate the audience and Woody respectively you should hate her right now you missed this scene what is going on already got the script okay so we're back in the RV now and four face is telling all the other toys that Woody needs him to get to the Carousel which is a competition that's only allowed to happen because Bonnie managed to fall asleep in the less than five minutes and spin since they left despite being wide-eyed energetic in the last scene and because the parents can't hear the toys talking anymore despite the fact that in their last scene they won about how Buzz wouldn't shut up is there anybody that thinks of working on keeping the script consistent does anybody have any idea what's happening in this film right now thankfully Jesse comes up with another idea I can't wait to see what her ingenious plan is in the next scene meanwhile Woody bow and Annabelle what up in the Primal Chucky pushes them and the Looney Tunes and Neo ride their way through the carnival the skunk will be on their quest to reach the carousel in time unfortunately the pram crashes forcing Woody bow and animal to get out while Chucky is Left Behind and who knows what happens to him but here's what we do know Annabelle certainly doesn't give a hoot about what happens to him despite all he's done for her throughout this movie so just don't think about it too many people gonna need an alternate route too many what use the skunk mobile to move through the carnival that's literally the whole point of this stupid thing to be able to navigate through large crowds undetected and if you can't fit every single touring the thing at once then just send them to the Carousel In Waves this RC car Zips around to the speed of sound and the carousels literally right there make one trip carrying one load of toys then make another carrying the remaining load and boom you've all made it to the Carousel the skunk didn't crash only the pram did where did the skunk even go how did you get from here to here who wrote this I don't okay back to the RV now and this scene is an absolute Nightmare and I almost don't even know how to break this garbage down so let's just take this one step at a time and try to get through it together so Jesse's plan goes like this Buzz sits on top of the RV holding Mrs Potato head's ear relaying instructions for how to get back to the carnival then Mrs Potato Head relays the instructions to Trixie who then does this recalculating take a ride and I'm sorry I can't resist what the actual [ __ ] is happening right now how did Buzz get from the floor of the RV to the roof literally how did this happen what are you gonna tell me that he climbed out through the sunroof because if that's the case then I call BS there's no way in the world the toys managed to open up the sunroof while blasting down the highway without anybody in the family noticing tell me something what happens if you open any windows in your car while driving down the highway the sound of the other cars driving by is no longer muffled not to mention the rapid pressure oscillation that results from doing this on top of the sound of the sunroof opening in the first place how did nobody notice any of this in the time that it took you to get up there how did nag not see you in the rear view mirror when you were climbing up top but more importantly how is the dad falling for this how could anybody with a tenth of a brain possibly fall for this I don't care if it takes you all day to fix a flat tire or not you would not hear the GPS voice her and 0.5 miles and then hear this voice and somehow come to the conclusion these two are in any way similar to one another not to mention the fact that Trixie is supposed to be coming from the floor below you and not the GPS above you turn right not to mention the fact that GPS voices do not scream erratically this could never work but it doesn't stop there because as if this wasn't already insane enough Magnum eventually realizes that the GPS is busted and decides to ignore it thus causing Mrs Potato Head to pull Trixie back and I guess go to the backup plan which is for Buttercup to sneak underneath his feet and pull back on the gas pedal causing them to take off at a speed of sound what what are you doing I don't even I can't what is the script this doesn't help you Trixie just said broken meaning you need to get the RV to turn right if you slam on the gas pedal all you are going to do is accelerate forward and probably blow right past the turn you need to take you have absolutely no control over the steering wheel right now and yet the RV is going to somehow magically end up exactly where they needed to be how how does this work you can't control where they're turning you could only control the acceleration what is happening right now also this is a really great way to get people killed you are a haphazardly messing with the acceleration speed of a massive RV without any way to know if there are pedestrians in your path and even if you try to say that buzz can tell them what's ahead I got news for you buddy if a random kid decides to run out into the middle of the road Buzz can't possibly communicate that information fast enough for Mrs Potato Head to tell Buttercup to let go of the gas and even then that's dependent on the dad slamming the brakes in time you are barreling head first into a carnival filled with children this is the absolute best way to get all of them killed and you do not care at all what are you doing right now also also how does Magnum not know what's going on anyway how does he not see the toys down by his feet in his peripheral vision there's a very bright colorful unicorn contrasting against the dull interior of the RV floor and you just don't notice him seriously if I'm driving a car I suddenly feel the gas pedal yanked away from my foot at Full Throttle the first thing I'm going to want to do after I slam on the brakes try to get a hold of this thing is to look down at the floor to see what in the world just happened to the gas pedal is Pearl not all curious as what's going on did she not glance over the pedals how does nobody see these toys they're right there it's not exactly hard to see the pedals when you're driving a car how does he not notice this also also also why are you spastically slamming on the brake pedal just hold it down with your foot and don't let go tapping it like this is what's allowing the RV to move forward and potentially get even more people killed just hold down the brick and the RV isn't going anywhere the engine isn't going to overpower the brakes what are you doing what is this horror show of a scene where the toys not care about endangering the people around them including the family in the RV how is the RV being steered along the exact path they need it to be when they only have control of the gas panel how did Buzz get up here how nobody see or hear the toys down there all you had to do is have Jesse cut the tire again you could have avoid this whole mess who wrote this spaghetti mess of a scene meanwhile back at the NFL show the toys getting ready to send John Wick to jump across the carnival to form a zipline they can use to cross the rooftops this is the fastest way to the Carousel no that's the fastest way to the Carousel for one thing you have to wait for the ferris wheel to rotate into the exact correct position you need in order to make this jump for another you had to find this string somewhere that would be the exact length you needed to form a zipline across the gap for another you had to climb up to the top of this thing in the first place which is much harder to do inconspicuously than just moving along the ground or using the skunk mobile that was custom made for navigating large crowds the thing about this method was fast in fact apart from walking around the entire globe in the opposite direction you may very well love take the slowest possible way to reach the carousel he's literally jumping through the air illuminated by the Moonlight followed by all of you zipline directly above the crowd below how does nobody see this especially when there are fireworks going on right now why are there random fireworks at this exact moment in time where do they come from what are they only last for as long as Neo needs to make his jump why does no one care about anything in the script the fireworks was kind of a late breaking idea to have fireworks behind him it makes no sense at all we never see fireworks for the rest of the movie it's just behind Duke I swear I don't even have to do anything the writers are doing all the work for me who wrote this what is happening okay whatever so they somehow make it across without anybody noticing them but just as they're about to make it to the Carousel animal gets distracted and derails the whole mission what does she get distracted by you may ask well she sees a random lost kid over the railing on the grass below how how did you see her there you were way too far away from the side of this roof to be able to see that kid there is no way you caught her in your peripheral vision but then Woody falls back to stare at the kid with Annabelle and then he says change of plans because they're gonna give her the chance to get with another kid Okay cool so let her go down there and have her happy ending whatever I don't care anymore just let her go and then the rest you can keep running toward the carousel but no the whole world stops dead in its tracks and literally every single one of the toys in this group goes down to just watch animal get with a kid you don't have time for this you need to get to the Carousel and get ready to quickly regroup with the other toys all you're gonna do is watch her you don't need to be here for this what are you doing oh wait but the Looney Tunes roll a baseball over to direct the kids attention to the doll why you didn't need to do that just pull your string that will instantly pull our attention towards you this is all a gigantic waste of time you didn't need to be here for this you're all just wasting time where did you even get this baseball from oh and because the script hasn't already thrown enough luck in the way of our characters after the kid picks up Annabelle she walks out of the Shadows then immediately bumps into a security guard two inches away from her literally the instant she decides to step out of hiding is the same as another security guard just happens to be walking by I just these all just lock everything it's all luck there is no cause and effect in the script whatsoever the plot just runs according to whatever needs to happen in every single situation who wrote this garbage Randy did an amazing thing here which is the music here is the same music from the classroom scene where woody is helping Bonnie this is Gabby helping this little girl it's just it was genius I connected those two scenes in a way that I hadn't even really thought of myself yeah because this absolute Legend of a man is doing everything he possibly can to try to salvage your dying skirt because he knew you weren't gonna fix this yourself so he worked as hard as he can to dress up your movie in as much pretty packaging as he can to make you look like less of an idiot than you actually are well I'm sorry Randy Newman but no matter how good your music is it's not enough to cure this turgid base of a script so this whole time it's always about Woody and Beau working together so that when we get to the goodbye scene we wanted to make it feel wrong that they're splitting so that you want them to stay together listen to that phrasing that slimy deceptive awful phrasing they wanted to make it feel wrong because he knows that Woody would never ever in a million years choose to spend his life with Bo rather than his friends and kid so they have to manipulate you into thinking otherwise or else this movie doesn't work they quarantine all the original toys in the RV and never spend any time with them because they don't want you to think about them they just want you to think about how awesome bow and Woody are together they're such fun characters because they have no connection to our characters then they're brand new fun of this movie to me was all these new characters that we can create and bring to life think about all the new tours forget about the old toys the old toys suck how in the world can you paint these two as an Inseparable team who have each other's backpacks or how they've interacted throughout this entire movie Rolling the softball is an actual thing that Carnival workers do to get people to play their games I don't care if it's something Carnival markers use not of the way this is used in the story doesn't make any sense you didn't need to do this to get the kid to notice you none of you needed to be down here except for her you're all just wasting time and so it was an animal got her happily ever after even given all the terrible awful things she's done throughout this whole stupid [Applause] oh for Christ's sake you're still going at it with the RV nonsense how are you doing this okay so they end up exactly where they needed to go despite having absolutely no control over the steering wheel at all because everyone in this van is a great a [ __ ] so the cop comes over to the window and talks to the parents to figure out what in the world just happened and there's no way the Magnum isn't going to get arrested here that's totally going to jail what why are you happy about that what was this RV scene you know why this scene from Toy Story 2 works so well and why this one is noodling around like a neurotic octopus well let's break it down first of all in order for the toys to get this vehicle exactly where they needed to go it takes the entire team rex navigates ham and potato and control the gear shifting sling takes the pedals and Buzz steers and even with every single toy pulling their weights they are just barely able to keep this car straight and steer it where they want to go but from an outsider's perspective you just think that the driver of the truck literally fell asleep at the wheel or just came back from having a round of Buzz Light beers it's not a Flawless plan for the toys by any sort of the imagination it's just barely manageable and very erratic driving but it's also incredibly well coordinated which is why they're able to catch it without the airport but the most important thing about this scene is that they have the truck all to themselves there are no other humans they have to account for so they have maximum communication and can control every single part of the truck because you need to have both of those things in order to get the vehicle where you want it to go but in Toy Story 4 not only do the toys only have control of one pedal but they also can't talk to each other or communicate efficiently because the family is still in the RV this is absolutely ludicrous this makes no sense at all and yet our big brain director has this to say we've seen the boys always drive cars around from previous films this felt like a fun way to do it in a different way difference does not equal better you pillix do not try to use the fact that they've driven previously as an excuse if you aren't going to put in the legwork that filmed in order for this to make sense then it is revealed that the dad isn't arrested how how was he not at all here he can't prove that toys hijacked the vehicle and even if he knew that was what happened and tried to say that there's no way they'd believe him and all it would take was a cursory inspection of the vehicle to check to see that nothing was wrong with it and then the erratic driving would fall onto him entirely how were you not arrested right now whatever so then Buzz tells everyone to get up top which doesn't make any sense because you don't need to drag every single toy onto the roof just to get Woody back into the RV unless of course you have the foresight to know that there's going to be an emotional ending oh yes everybody it's almost time to talk about that ending we're almost there just a little bit longer but first you've got to be kidding me how how is this working this couldn't possibly work because all you'd have to do to defeat this problem is just go around to the other door and open it up how is four face even able to push this button as fast as the dad is able to pull on the door handle to open it and with that we finally arrive at the final scene of the movie The Grand Finale the conclusion of the Toy Story Saga this film is already in tatters the plot is a jumbled mess of either contrived luck or straight up impossible nonsense you've destroyed Jesse by undoing her character Arc of overcoming her trauma and fears you've destroyed buzz by turning him into a complete and utter [ __ ] in spite of His Brilliant capabilities throughout the original trilogy you shoved all the classic characters into an RV and made all your new ones horrendously unlikable and relied on talented celebrities to carry your film but the one thing you haven't majorly damaged yet is Woody throughout this movie he has consistently maintained his core character traits his loyalty he always stood by his friends he's always done right by his kid he's been loyal to the people he cares about for infinity and beyond and that has been Untouched by this movie until now the one loose thread this film was barely hanging on to was about to break and at that point there will be nothing left to salvage because as Woody says goodbye to Bo and prepares to head back to Bonnie and all his friends he makes one last decision and that decision is to leave Buzz Jesse slink Rex ham potato head and all of his friends including his kid whose name is written on the bottom of his boot he's going to leave them all behind and pursue a life with Bo Peep instead what the [ __ ] are you kidding me are you yanking my chain right now well I saw this in theaters for the first time when we got to the scene I was left stirring open mouth of the screen I could not believe what I was watching it was like my whole world got turned upside down in an instant and I am so sick and tired of hearing the exact same pitiful defenses for this ending over and over over again so strap in everyone because I am about to explain why this ending is straight up insulting to everything the Original Trilogy set up since 1995. Woody's are throughout the first movie is all about coming to terms with the fact that he may not always be Andy's favorite toy he's got a brand new awesome Buzz Lightyear action figure what kid wouldn't want to play with that all the time but even if Andy's interest fluctuate over the years it doesn't matter because Andy will always have a special place for him and as Woody says himself it doesn't matter how much we're played with matters is that we're here for Andy when he needs us that's what we're made for right which is a mantra he carries with him all the way through to Toy Story 3 and by the end of the first movie Woody involves past his desire to always be the number one favorite toy in Toy Story 2. he has to come to terms with his mortality as a toy and the fact that one day Andy is going to grow up and may not want to play with him at all anymore and that inevitability is what temps Woody to go with the Roundup game to a museum in Japan but then after fighting tooth and nail and crossing the county to bring him home Buzz Lighty reminds him of a very important lesson that Woody taught him in the first film somewhere in that pet of stuffing is a toy who taught me that life's only worth living if you're being loved by a kid and I traveled all this way to rescue that toy because I believed him which is what snaps Woody right out of his trance because he realizes that after I can't stop Andy from growing up but I wouldn't miss it for the world and that this is what it's all about to make a child happy and you know it this is the Crux of Toy Story 2. his insecurity following his arm ripping leading to him having to wrestle with the inevitability of Andy outgrowing him and potentially not playing with him anymore but he evolves past it he contemplates an alternative realizes he'd be crazy to do so because being with his kid is way more important to him than being on his own forever and then comes home and promises that are you still worried about Andy nah it'll be fun while it lasts I'm proud of you Cowboy besides when it all ends I'll have old Buzz Lightyear to keep me comfortable for infinity and beyond and that is what leads into the third movie he confidently stands by his statements from the past his job isn't about getting played with it's about being there for Andy we know whatever happens at least we'll all be together for infinity and beyond and after their Adventures at Sunnyside he realizes that the best thing for his friends isn't to be stuck in the Attic forever it's to be given a new chance at making a child happy in the hands of Bonnie and he wants to stand by their side in this decision because Andy's all grown up what he's fulfilled his role in being there for him when he needs him the most he's helped give Bonnie an afternoon of a lifetime and he saw a future for his friends there so he placed himself in the Box along with everyone else even when the original plan was for Annie to take him to college but at the end of the day it wasn't his choice to make he wouldn't have left his kid unless Andy gave his approval unless he manually passed on the torch what he wasn't going to be sneakier deceptive about it he planted himself in the Box in full frontal view of Andy if Andy decide that he still needed Woody at College then he would have gone with him but they both made the choice to let each other go and Andy passed on the torch to Bonnie Woody's Journey throughout the first three movies is what led him to where he is today he learned invaluable life lessons every step of the way and in his final scene with Andy he get to hear this thing that makes Woody special he'll never give up on you ever he'll be there for you no matter what it's an absolutely beautiful ending from every conceivable angle and it perfectly concludes his journey as Andy volunteerly chooses to pass him on and what he chooses to stay with his family only with Andy's blessing vowing to always be there for Bonnie no matter what with all the knowledge and wisdom that he's gained throughout his life with Andy and this stupid movie spits in the face of all of that every lesson that Woody learned throughout the original trilogy means nothing now he learned that he doesn't have to be the favorite toy he taught Buzz that life's only worth living if you're being loved by a kid and during the period of time when he'd walked back that Mantra Buzz retort it to him and he went back to Andy learning that even if he can't stop any from growing up that he wouldn't miss it for the world because it's all about being there for your kid when they need you and making a child happy which is solidified as Woody stays with Annie throughout all his teen years as he's ready to go after college and never plays with him at all he promised Buzz Lightyear that when it all ended he'd have him to keep Woody company for infinity and beyond that whatever happened at least they'd all be together but all of it every substantive message those films sent every promise the characters made to each other it's all mercilessly thrown out the window as Woody runs into beau's arms ready to leave behind his friends and his kid no scratch that they're not his friends they're his family after everything they've been through together they are a family of toys who have survived the most harrowing obstacles any toy could ever go through together and now none of that matters at all and the fact that Woody is actually making this decision is utterly indefensible and insulting not just the Woody's character but to every single person around the world who ever felt any sort of emotional attachment to him for the principles he upheld and the character he used to be before this ego driven bold-faced liar came along and tore it all the pieces without a care in the world I love Toy Story I saw the first two before I started working here at Pixar and to be asked to direct this movie was such a huge honor and terrifying because I didn't want to mess it up I didn't want to mess it up I didn't want to mess it up I didn't want to mess it up meanwhile I couldn't imagine any situation where woody could without being a complete jerk leave his friends behind knowing the situation they were in and what his character would never do that he just wouldn't do it Cooley listen to me the director of Toy Story 3 doesn't even agree with you don't you dare try to claim you love this series when there is this much evidence proving how much of an insult your abysmal dumpster fire of film is to the original trilogy and you know something else Lotso and Stinky Pete are proven right by this movie their motivations for enacting their evil plans boiled down to the belief that toys don't last forever and they're all just waiting for the day they get thrown out of replaced unless they seek Sanctuary somewhere else and now they are proven correct by this movie's ending Bonnie isn't playing with Woody anymore so Woody is Justified in Seeking a better life somewhere else Toy Story 3's ending was all about the passing of the torch about Andy giving his toys to a young girl would get more use out of them than he would storing them away in the attic and how their lives still have meaning even after Andy grows up and moves away because they can bring happy memories to a new kid but Toy Story 4 says forget that message being with another kid is useless Woody should go break out on his own and leave Bonnie behind and that's the final nail on the coffin it's even contradicted by events in this very movie because all Woody has been telling the other characters such as Ford face Annabelle and Beau is about how wonderful life is when you're with a kid and that they need to help their kids make great memories together and he delivers all these monologues in the very same movie where he abandons his kid forever it's pathetic and almost poetic in its stupidity Woody is going to leave his family whom he has been with for almost two decades to be with a girl he hasn't seen in nine years who has spent the entire movie patronizing him to everyone she encounters and speaking with the most condescending intent imaginable even when some of the situations that they wound up and were entirely her own fault they want you to believe that after all these scenes what did I say Eileen you you really want to help and instead of my way stand there my friend no no no he's my accessory some toy thought it would be a good idea to wander into the aisle that doesn't make any sense the best route is behind the shelves that would have been a better route wouldn't it toy sounds like a complete idiot he does plenty of kids out there it can't be just about the one you're still clinging to that it is a happy ending for Woody to go spend his life with this girl absolutely not get out of here with this garbage Bo Peep has not received anywhere near enough screen time to outweigh the time that Woody has spent with Buzz Jesse and all the other toys it doesn't even make any sense within the context of this movie you know how I made a point of remembering that scene where they try to make it out as if Bo was burying her emotions about her time spent with Molly and reminiscing about how wonderful it was to be loved by a kid yeah well not anymore now they want you to believe that Beau was ascended to a new level of understanding and was right all along to abandon everything and become a lost toy which is extremely funny considering this slime from Toy Story 2. the dangerous world out there for a toy and another thing just because she may have been somebody you loved nine years ago that does not mean she's still that person in fact it's crystal clear that she has a radically different attitude toward the people around her now and you could have used this as an opportunity to send a message about how people change over the years and that you should be under no obligation to stay true to someone just because you used to know them when you were younger that could have been an invaluable message to send to kids but instead you're sending the message that if someone verbally abuses you patronizes you condescends you with every available opportunity and blatantly puts their own needs above your own every single time that they actually really love you and that you should abandon your family and friends who are willing to risk everything to save you and go live with that person instead [ __ ] [ __ ] off you are quite possibly the most irresponsible filmmaker I have ever seen in my life you should absolutely no respect for the Integrity of the world of the Toy Story movies you shouldn't absolutely no respect for any of the original characters or what they stood for and you've displayed absolutely no maturity when it comes to immensely serious topics and have instead chosen to send morally reprehensible messages all across the board to your incredibly young and impressionable audience but then even after being faced with all that indisputable evidence that this directly spits in the face of Woody's character the one thing that people will always say is that Bonnie is an Andy and my response to that is so what she's still his kid and she is the person whom Andy entrusted Woody to the justification that the movie wants you to believe makes sense for this decision is that Bonnie doesn't want to play with him anymore that Woody's just been sitting around the closet feeling useless and therefore it's okay for him to leave Bonnie behind but if you actually think about this for longer than two seconds you should immediately realize why that doesn't hold up under any scrutiny at all the third time you haven't been picked this week mean that that is only three out of the seven days in a single week that he hasn't been played with and follows up with this little exchange I don't know I don't keep counting oh you don't have to I'll do it for you meaning that he is keeping track of how many times what he hasn't been played with and the highest number he has is three meaning that Bonnie has only chosen not to play with Woody for a whopping three days when Woody went for way way longer not being played with by Andy and no it does not matter that Bonnie is an Andy because after all the development the Woody is undergone after being played with for almost two full years there's no way he went three days without being played with and then all of a sudden he thinks it's Doom and Gloom for him especially when there was a scene in this very movie when Bonnie is playing with Woody yeah remember earlier when I said there was a shot in that stupid travel monsters that would nuke the entire film well I guess it's time to reveal it it's this one this one shot shatters the entire movie To Pieces there was a small amount of wiggle room that Defenders of the character assassination had to work with and it was where I hope Bonnie didn't care about him anymore but that little bit of wiggle room has now been shattered Beyond repair because not only does the amount of times Woody wasn't picked not support that assertion and we have verifiable receipts from the two years prior to this movie proving that to be false but there is literally a shot in this movie where Bonnie is happily playing with Woody not to mention the fact that this film wants you to think that Bonnie is overboarding that he needs to get a new life and yet presents him with a new child who clearly loves playing with him and yet he abandons her at the playground without a care in the world this scene nukes the messaging of this film into Oblivion again you've just committed script suicide again because after this scene you can't fall back in the defense that Woody wouldn't leave his friends behind to go with Harmony if you want to tell the audience that Woody should abandon Bonnie if she's done with him then you cannot simultaneously present him an opportunity to help create happy memories that will last for the rest of her life and then do absolutely nothing with it this film just killed itself again very early on we had to solve the problem of well why don't the toys just go to Molly and we shot that down right away by adding this beat of showing that Molly's just kind of grown up a little too fast already Beyond her years and not interested in toys anymore oh what's that the director of Toy Story 3 took the time to think about potential problems with his plot and figured out a way for it to make sense that the toys wouldn't go with Molly what a concept a concept that is nowhere to be found in this movie but especially in this scene as the film presents a perfect opportunity for Woody to fulfill the mission he preaches about and yet does nothing to explain why he doesn't awesome and not only that remember that tangent I went on earlier about how Bonnie would have had to recently write her name on Woody's boot yeah well now it's time to bring that back around you cannot argue that Bonnie doesn't care about Woody anymore when she would have had to write her name on his boots sometime within the last few months because we know that for two Christmases in a row Andy's name was still firmly planted on Woody's boots while Trixie had by his name written on her foot and to make it even worse the film is trying to tell you that Bonnet cares more about Jess than she does about Woody which is extremely funny since Bonnie didn't write her name on her boots she painted over Amy's name on Woody Buzz and Jesse but only replaced his name with hers on Woody and Buzz not not Jesse it does not matter how you slice it this doesn't work Woody's decision is a blaming character assassination regardless of whether Bonnie loves him or not but the fact that Bonnie clearly does actually care about Woody and cares a lot about him based on what we see in Toy Story 3 only serves to deal even more damage to his character and completely and utterly nullify the ending of that movie because Andy trusted Bonnie he passed along his favorite childhood toy whom he promised Bonnie would never give up on her no matter what and she loved Woody he was about to cry when Andy reflexively pulled him away from her and was overjoyed when he agreed to let her have him but because Bonnie didn't play with him for literally three days what do you think is totally okay to portray Andy's final decision and run away with Bo Peep and don't you even dare try to tell me that oh come on kids are fickle these days they change their minds on a whim it makes perfect sense for Bonnie to randomly lose interest in Woody well first of all she obviously didn't lose interest in him but fine let's assume that balling has cast Woody aside and that's completely lost interest in him because she's a Fickle little kid who frequently changes her mind on a whim if you think that is a valid defense that actually justifies what happens in this film then I beg of you I enjoy you I plead with you to please think about your own logic if you are arguing that Bonnie is a Fickle child who changes her mind on a whim then under your own logic she could literally wake up tomorrow and decide she wants to play with Woody again uh oh looks like your own defense has crumbled your position should the other toys that aren't for face leave Bonnie she clearly only loves four face right now why don't all the toys go off and have their own Avengers since Bonnie clearly isn't playing with them right now this doesn't work no matter how you cut it it doesn't work won't he betrayed all the lessons he learned throughout the original trilogy and Annie's decision to entrust him to Bonnie if Andy knew what was going to happen he never would have given Woody up this ending is nothing more than a giant middle finger to the beautiful ending of Toy Story 3 and to claim otherwise is to be deliberately ignorant to the events and developments that have occurred throughout this series but you know what makes this scene even worse Buzz is the one to tell Woody to go she'll be okay Bonnie will be okay Buzz Lightyear the one who told Woody Point Blank in Toy Story 2 that life's only worth living if you're being loved by a kid it's the one who tells Woody that he should leave Bonnie and go live a life with Bo Peep get out of here you stupid movie and then all the other toys just magically teleport onto the awning how did you all get up here how did Rex clean up how do the Potato Heads climb up how did Rex fit his body through this tiny hole how did any of you climb up there this quickly why did you come up here we were all given the script ahead of time so you knew that what he was going to leave I'll just forget it we're speeding through the rest of this I can't take this anymore what he gives Jesse the sheriff's badge all the original toys hug him goodbye with an extra long one for Woody and Buzz only for fourth base to be the one to get the last hug why did you leave the door you had one job one that's it and you couldn't even do that this is just so he could be here for the big goodbye when he had no way of knowing what was happening here Buzz gave you a single job and you couldn't even do that properly you useless no I hate this sport so much how did you even climb up here by yourself he gets the last hug not Buzz fart face buzz off you stupid movie so then for one final kick to the teeth they close out the movie by playing the same music that played at the beginning of the first Toy Story movie [Music] followed by the triumphant music that played when the club rescue them in Toy Story 3 for a sad scene [Music] because total consistency isn't something this film knows how to deal with Nostalgia pandering is something it's very skilled at all while we get this final pair of lines to Infinity which doesn't make any sense because you can't hear each other you're just saying it randomly there is no context that makes this impactful you're literally just saying have a phrase even though the other person can't hear you some of this movie then the credits start rolling some more stupid stuff happens with the Looney Tunes and we get one last scene in Bonnie's bedroom where Jesse comes back from Bonnie's first day at first grade and oh look at that Dolly came to her senses that Woody was onto something with the whole going with Bonnie to school thing and adopted that policy yourself but waited until Woody left so she didn't have to admit that he was right all along and she was wrong why are you so terrible then it is revealed that Bonnie made another toy comes life out of arts and crafts supplies and an eating utensil meaning that this is her second arts and crafts project in two years so again I'd like to ask how was Ford face the first time these toys encountered an arts and crafts project coming to life how did Andy never make something like this when he was in school and bring it home the World building in this universe is ruined why did you do this why did you tear this universe of shreds without a care in the world and just like that the film closes out with four face promising to explain everything and telling her that he doesn't know how they're alive and and then this soul-crushing fever dream of a film finally [ __ ] ends [Music] what an absolute absolute travesty of Cinema what an utterly unrepairable blemish on Pixar's otherwise nearly spotless record of filmmaking the only redeeming aspects of this movie are the voice actors giving it their all and the graphical facility of the animation undoubtedly the animators and Tech team did an outstanding job in crafting one of the most visually stunning animated movies ever released so that's all it has going for it I would say its soundtrack is incredible but the only reason why that's the case is because it's comprised of tracks in the original trilogy it looks pretty and it sounds good and something I've learned over the last two years is that's all you need to impress an audience pretty colors shiny lights and good music but absolutely nothing else about this movie Works to even a minor degree let's start with the plot this film's plot is fundamentally broken by which I mean that nothing about it functions properly there's hardly a single scene where something isn't lacking a logical through line at any time you find one it's almost always replaced by the characters getting immensely lucky or unlucky through lazy contrive into nothing more so let's quickly review this film and see just how many times the plot stops dead in its track to things run logically the driveway never existed at their house meaning this entire opening sequence can take place and what he would have never had a reason to go to Molly's room I never would have known that Bo Peep left and never would have gone through the scene that helps to find his final decision in the movie if Woody actually listened properly to the clock and realized that he's only not been played with for three out of the seven days in the week after two years of loving play time he doesn't make the decision to leave Bonnie If the parents hear Woody jump into the backpack he doesn't go to kindergarten and can't create the plot device that runs the entire film if Woody is spotted at any point during the kindergarten scene he's confiscated and can't go with the other toys on the road trip to look after Ford face if even a single element of the scene such as The Lunchbox is filled out art supplies the spork or the crayon box weren't in this room Bonnie doesn't make Fork face if Fork face stays isn't eating utensil not a sentient toy which is something we'll talk about very shortly and there is no plot device to drive the story forward and Woody never jumps out the window thus derailing the adventure if when he has the brain capacity to realize that he's being played with by Bonnie in this scene he realizes that he's not being abandoned by her and still cares about him and thus he never leaves If the parents hear this insanely loud voice line movie over if Woody and Buzz's peripheral vision isn't heavily compromised on the actually c4face Club the stupid shelves moving over if Woody never makes this ridiculous 40 and slip Fork face doesn't have any ammunition to tell animal that she can then use against him and thus convince him to let her take his voice box if Bo had been taken to literally any other antique store in the world or she decided to just drive away in the skunkmobile or if they missed the carnival by one day or if the family had driven to any other place or forfeit successfully jumped out of the RV at any other point along their trip none of this nonsense unfolds if those lights don't shine on the ground would you never notice his Bose lamp if the busloaded kids was a few minutes earlier or a few minutes late if Jesse doesn't pop the tire but doesn't fix her armor though sticky doesn't reached this High it Buzz voice buttons don't tell him exactly what he needs to do in every situation if Woody and Bo can't bounce the top of the antique store if the characters actually employ a sensible plan to reach this cabin instead of the moronic one that they chose if even a single second of this entire acting scene ran with any sense of logic if Bonnie's backpack didn't teleport it Buzz doesn't abandon Woody if both came to her since it's literally five minutes earlier if the toys weren't able to get this Army's word and it's a girl which they shouldn't have been able to do because they can't control the steering wheel if any any of these things adhere to basic logic cause and effect and just simple consistency plus all the dozens of other problems that I broke down throughout these past five videos this film immediately comes to a screeching halt I'd also like to remind everyone that the director candidly admitted that none of this makes any sense it is true that if the plot were the only thing that was broken about this film then perhaps we could just label it as isolated stupidity that doesn't tarnish the other films in the series and simply move right along with our lives kind of like Kingdom of the Crystal Skull only the thing is that it's not just the plot this film does significant damage to the world of Toy Story and it's all because of this stupid Spork because prior to this point the rules of sentience were very simple if you are a toy you come to life whether yours anthropomorphic as Woody and Buzz an animal like rex or ham a vehicle like RC or the school bus a utility piece like Lenny or this telephone or the food toys like this coming from some kind of restaurant set you were a sentient toy but this Spork is not a toy it's a spork it's an eating utensil there is absolutely no reason for this thing to have to come to life at all under the rules of this universe is established but now that he is alive it raises horrifying questions is it truly the case of the rules simply that inanimate objects can come to life no matter what they are but I could just throw googly eyes onto literally anything possibly even the planet itself and it could magically spring to life because if that's true that's turned the Toy Story Universe into a horror universe that means this bed could be sentient or that backpack or that glue bottle but that none of them have the ability to communicate and are therefore trapped in an eternal Frozen existence where they can't scream for help or do anything that is absolutely horrifying to think about it if your response is oh come on there's no way a bed can come to life we are dealing with a spork here that is just as ridiculous a concept and yet these writers want you to think that that makes sense so now we're simply extending their logic as far as it can go and seeing how horrifying the reality that their crafting is it also raises some rather uh interesting questions regarding the types of toys that adults play with and it's not because the child's imagination is what brings these things to life because aside from the fact that we know from Toy Story 2 the toys are already alive before they even leave their box we see Bonnie playing with plenty of inanimate objects such as this cardboard spaceship but none of them come to life because this was never a problem in the original trilogy until these brain dead Riders decided to bring a sports life because they are that creatively bankrupt and didn't care at all about how it was going to impact the franchise's World building as a whole this script is broken almost nothing runs with any logical train of thought being either blatantly contradicted by itself or previous movies anything that does proceed through cause and effect is only allowed to unfold due to an insane amount of luck and contrivance resulting in one of the laziest and most inept stories that takes no care for the rules established by its predecessors whatsoever but perhaps you don't care about any of that maybe logical inconsistencies don't bother you to even a minor degree maybe blatant contradictions both within this movie and when compared to previous films are totally meaningless to you maybe you don't care whether anything that happens in movies makes any sense at all just so long as there's an impactful heartfelt meaningful and thought-provoking message for the audience to take away and keep with them long after the credits roll here's the thing about that the messages of this movie communicates to its audience aren't just irresponsible but downright evil in some instances to begin with we have the issue of four faces behavior in the beginning of this movie this is a character who literally wants to throw himself away who doesn't want to live in the situation that he's found himself in and so has resorted to the trash which has an inevitability that we all know about and he does this throughout a montage during which this happy-go-lucky song is playing in the background with lyrics that are very deliberately addressing the topic of suicide which is only further confirmed by external information about Randy Newman's intentions with writing this song to be blunt about it there is absolutely no way that people who wrote this movie were completely unaware of what they were conveying with this scene you'd have to have the dullest mind on the planet to spend years of your life working on this movie never once have the thought of hmm you know this kind of sounds like we're talking about suicide here when audience members came to this conclusion within minutes of this character's introduction what the hell is your excuse that is not to say that you can't tackle serious subject matter such as suicide in films of course you can but if you are going to deal with the subject matter in your movie then you cannot treat it as a joke but that is exactly what you've done here you've created a character whose entire Arc is literally about how he wants to die and portrayed his mental struggle as a funny joke for your impressionable audience to laugh at not to mention the fact that you have him overcome his mental state and desire to throw himself away after a single conversation where woody says that he's Bonnie's trash and then he immediately finds the meaning in his life it is not that simple that is not how this works the topic of depression and suicide is so much more complex than this and yet this film treats them as a funny funny haha and such a bouncy Joe real thing to watch unfold throughout this Montage when there's absolutely no way nobody had Pixar noticed what this scene is saying completely irresponsible and let's not forget about how the director and writers feel about fanthers and the message that they are sending by including this book title they are communicating to the audience that their fan theories are nothing but jokes to them they laughed at them for caring about the movies that their company was creating let alone the film they themselves were making and they did it in such a way that only the most devoted the fans would notice it because you have to actively go out of your way to listen to the director's commentary on the Blu-ray disc this was just the goal to destroy the Pixar theory this book that Mom is reading right there it says beyond Infinity debunking the crazy theory of a shared Universe the average moviegoer is never ever going to hear this line of commentary in their lives the only people that will are those who care enough to listen to the entire commentary track such as people who comb through these films and behind the scenes extras looking for Clues to further fuel fan theories and it is those very people that the director is laughing at for caring and using their critical thinking skills and applying it to their passion for these movies and just to reiterate I do not subscribe to the Pixar 3 because I don't think it holds any weight whatsoever as discussed earlier so my contention with these clowns is absolutely nothing to do with a personal investment in the matter their stance on the Pixar theory is the same as mine but that doesn't matter at all because the message that they are sending is that if you take the time to think about their films on a more analytical level they think that's hilarious and want to demean you for doing it which I suppose doesn't surprise me since if you think about this film instructor for longer than five seconds you'll immediately see how badly it crumbles to Pieces next this film believes that you should be rewarded for emotionally manipulating people torturing them and stealing their organs because that's basically what a voice box is to a toy it's an organ and that you should be handed exactly what you want even if you never apologize try to make up for what you did wrong or even acknowledge that you ever did anything wrong in the first place just as long as you have a sad backstory and it's absolutely disgusting to think about but even worse than that is how her motivations can be and already have been interpreted by the audience in the conduct of disabilities the core of this villain's motivation is to steal Woody's voice box because she was born as a defective toy and believes that she needs to fix her defective part in order to be accepted by Harmony as a proper toy I'm sure you don't need me to explain how harmful this message is but I'm going to do it anyway for those who aren't quite following along the film portrays Annabelle's motive as virtuous and benevolent and her motives are that she believes she isn't worthy of Harmony's love until she fixes her voice box and the movie ends up proving that she's correct because the only reason that the trial at the end of the movie feels comfortable taking her home is because she pulls her string and animal asks to be the kid's friend and that is a terrible precedent to set because it doesn't take a lot of critical thinking of someone living with a disability to watch this movie and understand what it's trying to say on a thematic level about living with disabilities it's saying that society would deem you Unworthy of Love unless you find a way to fix your disability which is utterly insulting not to mention embarrassing considering how intelligently maturely and respectfully Pixar has handled these subjects in their previous movies and not having the characters literally think they need to fix themselves to be accepted this is irresponsibility of the highest caliber then we come to what this film is trying to say about Woody's love for Bo Peep the film wants you to believe that these two toys have feelings for each other and that as a result of these romantic feelings it makes sense for Woody to abandon his kid and family which we are going to talk about in just a moment but just run with us for a moment this is portrayed as a healthy loving romantic relationship the director believes that this is a Showcase of a pair of people who think the world of each other and want to spend their lives together he is communicating to the audience through this film this is something you should look to as a shining example of what it means to be a healthy respectful romantic relationship and that is actually disgusting to think about because this is how Beau treats Woody throughout this film what did I say Eileen you follow you really want to help then stay out of my way just stand there quiet I'll do the talking my friend no no no he's my accessory some toy thought it would be a good idea to wander into the aisle that doesn't make any sense the best route is behind the shelves that would have been a better route wouldn't it sounds like a complete idiot he does plenty of kids out there he can't be just about the one you're still clinging to sounds like she really loves you you would have to actually be deranged to look at these interactions and tell me that this is someone who respects what it's even a minor degree this isn't respect this isn't love this is verbal abuse and selfishness running rampant throughout the script and she is rewarded for this Behavior with love from the person she's abusing and no the scene where Bo realizes how much of an idiot she was and that Woody star was in the right place all along doesn't matter in the slightest because aside from the fact that this scene only exists for the sake of the audience and she never actually apologizes to Woody for how she treated him even if she did apologize to him that would not make up for the things she did the simple Act of saying sorry or acknowledging that you were wrong doesn't immediately make up for the action you undertook when Woody accidentally knocks Buzz out the window he tries to clear the air with him but because Buzz thinks that he tried to kill him he doesn't just immediately say okay you feel bad well I guess we're friends now it takes the entire rest of the movie for these two to come to trust each other and become the best friends that they are but in this movie Beau simply says that you just gotta love him for it and even if we give maximum benefit of the doubt to her and assume that this is her acknowledging that she was wrong to treat Woody the way that she did throughout this movie that does not suddenly absolve her from her endless parade of condescension and verbal abuse throughout the runtime of this film disregarding The butchered character motivations for the movie ending the way that it does it is portrayed as a happy ending that Woody chooses to leave his family and go off to live with an abusive romantic partner who not only acts consistently condescending to him but also takes great joy in doing so this is not healthy this is not normal this is not okay no matter how much this film wants you to think that it is do not look to this as an example of a respectful relationship for the love of God and last but certainly not least we have one final decision irrespective of how it's totally against his character for him to do this think about his choice in terms of the message it is sending out since the very beginning of the series the toys have been a metaphor for parents when Woody is referring to Andy as his kid he means it in every substantive way that it matters and that he's there for him when he needs him and he watches him grow up over the years and ultimately move away to start a life for himself but hey don't take my word for it take the word of our old friends that speech what he gives right there when he's carrying forky so beautiful I remember when Andrew first wrote it I have young kids but I don't have kids that are out of college I don't know what that's like only somebody who had kids that are out of college could write this and have this kind of emotion so now that we've established that let's think about this ending again and see where that gets us we are watching this parental figure decide that he wants to abandon his kid and run out to pursue his dreams instead are you not quite getting the picture well then allow me to repeat the exact same sentence but this time replacing the visuals on screen with something else we are watching this parental figure decide that he wants to abandon his kid and run off to pursue his dreams instead and if you say what come on he wasn't pursuing his dreams you're right it's worse he abandoned his daughter because he needed a break from what was going on at home it's actually much much worse but my point is still the same and the difference between the greatest attorney 2 and Toy Story 4 is that this game acknowledges the Niko's about screwed up it goes out of its way to make crystal clear that what he did is morally reprehensible and even go so far as to have him admit that what he did was wrong whereas Toy Story 4 portrays it as perfectly fine a happy ending for everyone actually that Woody abandons Bonnie to go explore the world with Bo Peep while simultaneously saying that the toys are meant to serve as parental roles for their kids this movie establishes very very explicitly that Woody is instrumental to Bonnie's happiness even if she isn't actually playing with him he is the reason she is able to make it through kindergarten orientation had it not been for Woody in that classroom Bonnie would have been an emotional wreck and we would have had an inside out situation that could have potentially dealt serious long-lasting damage to her mental state to be impacted at such an early age Andy entrusted him to Bonnie and Woody has shown not only extreme proficiency with but also a measurable passion and happiness for ensuring the joy of his kid and yet in spite of all that this movie tells you that responsibility and care for your child be damned if you meet someone that you fall in love with it's more important to go run off with them and live happily ever after even if it means leaving your child in the care of someone who is utterly incompetent at their job and it's not a decision made by the parent in the best interest of the child like some movies that tackle this idea brilliantly it is a selfish Choice made with nobody's interest in mind other than himself which aside from being blatantly contradicted to who what he is as a character is an absolutely horrible thing to do when we are talking about abandoning a child riddle me this would you accept this decision if it was literally a father leaving their kid behind to go run off with someone he fell in love with after literally one day or is it okay because they're toys because I refuse to adhere to that this film's messaging is utterly irresponsible and and evil and the thought that kids watch this movie and may have come away from it thinking that these are morally conscionable things to do honestly terrifies me but all of that pales absolutely pales in comparison to what this film does to its characters it's not enough that it tells a story that would require me to lose a significant chunk of my brain in some horrible accident to think that it held together under even the slightest amount of scrutiny it's not enough that it directly spits in the face of the universal rules established by the original trilogy raising horrifying questions about this sentence of inanimate objects in the process and it's not enough that it sends absolutely horrific moral messages about family responsibility living with disabilities depression suicide what it means to love someone theorizing about movies and culpability for wrongdoings if you have a tragic backstory this film had to take a swing at the characters from the original trilogy it had to sideline almost every major character by quarantining them all in an RV throughout the run time and replacing them with celebrity cameos who are only there for their namesake and an excuse to sell more toys because they have absolutely nothing to do with with a story whatsoever the Looney Tunes have absolutely no relevance to the main plot at all really think about their involvement now if you cut them out of this movie all the major events play out just fine they are only here because they wanted to get an iconic comedic Duo into the film that they could plaster all over the marketing so they could say hey look at us we got Key and Peele you like them right and it's the exact same thing with John Wick slash Neo insert Keanu Reeves character here because I refuse to call this Twilight's actual name it's Keanu Reeves everybody don't you love Keanu Reeves you're a breath taker you're all breathtaker then you should love this character that's all this is just hiring popular celebrities to play your new characters in The hope so they can effortlessly earn the audience's Adoration without putting any effort into their personalities or development and simply borrowing the love of the actor in question and pasting it onto the character because this toy has absolutely no relevance to this film whatsoever the entire quest to get his help in the pinball machine and make this jump had absolutely nothing to do with anything it was entirely pointless because Woody demonstrate that you can effortlessly run across the aisle and reach the cabinet doors without needing to do this stupid jump that puts you right in the line of sight of the dummies and unnecessarily endangers the mission and any action he takes later could have easily been accomplished by far simpler methods that the script has to deliberately forget about in order to pretend that these characters are in any way important the only new addition to the cast was anything to do with this story is the stupid Spork Fork face but even then you can't really call him a character because for almost the entire movie he's just trapped in the antique store there was a potential for the writers to tell a really interesting mature and impactful story about existentialism or actually tap into the serious and dark implications present with your character literally wanting to throw himself away but instead he receives absolutely no significant development at all his existential crisis ends 10 minutes after he's introduced to the story two of which consisted of a montage and even more of which didn't even happen speaking with more labor and lexicon than just saying trash over and over again and all it takes is for Woody to tell him that he's Bonnie's trash no maturity no intelligent discourse no meaningful message to get across his Suicidal Tendencies are played for joke with happy jovial music in the background capped off by him ultimately deciding he wants to be a toy and then from that point on it becomes nothing but a plot device used to facilitate the rest of this broken story next there's everything to do with how Annabelle is characterized for the first time in the Toy Story series the antagonist comes around to being on the good guys team by the end Sid the prospector and Lotso would never afforded such kindness Lotso almost turned to the good side but the toys were quickly proven wrong for thinking that would ever happen but not Annabelle this time they want you to think that the villain was completely justified in doing everything that she did because all she wanted all along was to be loved by a kid they try to paint her as having undergone some sort of redemption in life but she didn't she wasn't redeemed for her actions she is not a villain who was redeemed no matter how badly this film wants you to think otherwise Annabelle did not undergo a Redemption art because she doesn't believe that she did anything wrong she goes from I'm taking your voice box because I need it to be loved so turn around Woody two I'm taking your voice box because I need it to be loved so turn around Woody please and that is the only change that happens with her character in this movie movie she doesn't apologize for her actions she doesn't admit her wrongdoings and she doesn't try to make things right she doesn't do anything like that she does exactly the same thing that she was doing earlier in this movie and if Woody didn't give his consent she was going to take what she wanted anyway it did not matter and then the universe just keeps hand delivering opportunities for Success whenever the previous one fails to work out for her I need you to understand this Annabelle is a terrible person she's awful she tortures Woody and regularly attacks the main characters to get what she wants shows No Remorse for her actions and is rewarded for that in the end meaning the only new toy we have left that can possibly Salvage this new cast is Bo Peep but big surprise the writers have dropped the ball once again to reiterate the problem with her character is not that she's suddenly an action-oriented lost toy as opposed to remember docile nature from the first two movies it makes sense for her to have to adapt to the outside world and naturally become a more action-ready toys result the problems here are the gaslighting and her behavior toward other characters gold peep did not act this way in the first two movies she just didn't don't think you will find a single person on the planet who will try to argue that both people is always this way if you actually show them the first two movies but because the writers are slimy hacks instead of actually showing the struggles that she went through in the time between Toy Story 2 and 4 and Visually demonstrating the process by which your personality and behavior has had been changed to account for her new lifestyle they took the shortcut only they didn't just take a shortcut they took a cheap shortcut they opened the film with a flashback to the time period of Toy Story 2 and retroactively changed how Bo Peep act in order to Gaslight the audience into thinking oh she was always like that and oh her dress was always like that so that when you first meet her at the playground you don't question how she's changing the slightest when all you have to do is simply watch any of her scenes from the first two movies to immediately disprove this notion within seconds this is nothing but deceptive manipulative gaslighting and you are lying if you say otherwise and how she acts to the other characters is absolutely insulting she treats Woody like a moldy doormat throughout the entire runtime of this film constantly imputing his intelligence and decision making blaming him for events that she could have easily prevented herself by taking very basic actions that see her take later in the movie talking about the connoissening tone both to him and two other people when talking about him and placing her priorities and desires above Woodies despite the fact that she only agreed to do this in the first place to help Woody and the fact that they want you to think what he would be willing to spend his life with her after all this is absurd the only reason I can think of her why she was written this way was to make Woody look completely useless and stupid so that Beau looked infinitely better by comparison which is once again slimy deceptive manipulative garbage you do not have to make your old characters look like trash to make your new characters shine brighter by comparison Athena Sykes isn't condescending to Phoenix and Apollo the writers of duel Destiny's the spirit of Justice don't make those characters act like bumbling morons just to make her look incredible they give Athena her own cases to shine construct events that would naturally give her a majorly important role in the story and allow her to make one of the most ingenious deductions in the entire Series without paying her co-workers as half-brained seahorses rivet doesn't have such treat Ratchet and Clank like worthless idiots she is initially standoffish due to not trust the new arrival since the dimensions are falling apart but she is never condescending and the game doesn't have to paint Ratchet and Clank as incompetent buffoons in order to make rivet look awesome it split the game equally between the two of them and allowed them both to receive an adequate amount of screen time giving River the chance to shine all on her own without having to bring anyone else down in the process but for some reason these writers thought that the only way they could write Bo Peep to make her look awesome was to simultaneously write all the other characters around her that we love to look like complete idiots which brings me to my final point and what is by far the most insulting irredeemable thing this film has done out of all the damage it has dealt to this franchise this is what stings more than anything else and it is the deliberate merciless assassination of Woody Buzz Lightyear and Jesse if the movie could just nail this one thing if they could just write these characters consistently with how they've always acted if they kept their morals in line if they kept their principles straight if they didn't give them all brain damage and if they didn't annihilate everything about them that people loved then this film film just might have been able to come out the other end of this mess in one piece even in spite of everything else a colossally bungled but it couldn't even do that this is the absolute last straw all they had to do was nail this one shot it was this movie's one last chance to save itself and it missed the target so hard it defied the laws of physics and crash land and exploded in a fiery Inferno let's break it down Jesse's entire character Arc was all about overcoming her fears of Abandonment and claustrophobia two fears that had consumed her existence since the moment Emily gave her up all those years ago she was an adventurous cowgirl who wouldn't have been rattled by the most ferocious of enemies but the one thing that would immediately bring her to her knees was any kind of enclosed space anything to remind her of the trauma she underwent for all those years and Toy Story of Terror finally allowed her to overcome that to finally settle her nerves when her friends depended on her and her alone to save the day and triumphantly kick open the box after an entire special of continually trying and failing to move past her fears ready at last to take on whatever obstacle the world tried tries to throw her away and now in Toy Story 4 Jesse has regressed all the way back to the way she was in the beginning of Toy Story 2. terrified and immobilized by being stuck in a closet for a few minutes buzz off you stupid movie Buzz Lightyear is one of the smartest characters in the entire series by a long shot whether he thought he was a Space Ranger or understood that he was a toy he was continually shown to be making remarkably Intelligent Decisions taking into account every potential obstacle in front of him until he can use to his advantage to formulate a plan of attack by either meticulously thinking it out in advance or coming up with Solutions on the Fly he was the one who masterminded the mission to rescue Woody after solving the mystery of who the identity of the kid never was and exactly where to find him all by himself which not only speaks to his competence as a leader strategist and analytical thinker but also to his loyalty to Woody he would never ever let any harm come to his best friend Woody after all they went through in the first movie and in turn the entire series they'd do anything for each other Buzz doesn't even hesitate to LEAP on a scud's face and put himself in serious Danger and what he is losing his grip he immediately leaps out of the window to try to rescue Woody when I'll kidnaps him he fights tooth and nail at every opportunity Never Letting anything face him until Woody is safely back in his protection because as buzz says himself Woody once risked his life to save me I couldn't call myself his friend if I weren't willing to do the same and now in Toy Story 4 he is suffering from major brain damage as he fails to understand the concept of a conscience despite clearly being able to think for himself in the original trilogy struggling to make even the most basic of decisions without spamming his voice buttons to tell him what to do and even worse he repeatedly Sidelines Woody in favor of moving the plot along when Woody charges head first into the belly of the beast in danger of being torn apart by a cat in the Chucky dolls Buzz shows absolutely no concern for him and instead of runs away so we can be delivered a key by the plot fairy when Woody stages of one Cowboy assault into the antique store ready to take on Annabelle's entire Army Buzz abandons him and runs back to the RV he doesn't care at all he pushes the buttons on his chest they tell him to go home and so he does and all because the writers wanted to continue the joke buzz off you stupid movie and finally we have Woody a character whose core trait was his loyalty to his friends and his kid he was established as a quick wooded intelligent Cowboy as well but the number one thing you'd immediately think about upon seeing him was the thing that makes him special is he'll never give up on you ever that no matter how insurmountable the odds may seem he'd stand by his friends through thick and thin because he doesn't leave toys behind he learned in the first movie that it doesn't matter if he's not the favorite toy he'll still always be there whenever his kid needs him he learned the second movie that even when facing the inevitability of his kid growing up and not wanting to play with toys anymore he's still going to stand by his kid through thick and thin as he watches him grow up because even if he can't stop it from happening I wouldn't miss it for the world which is the decision that plays out in Toy Story 3 as he isn't played with by Andy for years at a time still patiently awaiting the day when he may need him again and in the final moments of the film as he accepts it Andy's all grown up and doesn't need him anymore he makes his choice to stand by his friends and go with them to help create new memories for a little girl who will get far more use out of them than Andy will but he won't do it without Andy's blessing until his owner consciously passes him on to Bonnie he wouldn't leave him behind because that's who Woody is and that is why his decision at the end of Toy Story 3 works so well he doesn't want to leave his friend and he doesn't want to leave Andy but he understands that he will be of better service in Bonnie's care than the care of a college student and that the right thing to do is to go on with his friends but his loyalty won't let him give himself up unless Andy is the one to pass him on his loyalty to both his friends and Andy Remains unaltered by this movie and in the end he upholds his promise to Buzz Lightyear that they'd always be together for infinity and beyond but now in Toy Story 4 all of that is thrown out the window there isn't a single solitary thing about Woody's character that wasn't destroyed by this film Andy was wrong about him he did give up on Bonnie he wasn't there for her no matter what he abandoned everything he left not just Bonnie but also all of his friends no forget that his entire family of toys that he had grown so close to throughout his adventures across these films and shorts also he could go run off with a girl who spent the entire day impuning everything about his existence this would never ever ever happen Woody would never abandoned his kid after not being played with for only three days when he's been lovingly played with by her for a full two years and was left in the toy box by Andy for even longer than that and what makes it even worse is that Bonnie plays with him in this movie children can change their minds at a moment's notice meaning that she may very well wake up tomorrow and decide that she wants to start playing with Woody again only she's going to realize that she can't find him anywhere and start crying over it and Buzz and the Gang aren't going to be able to do anything about it because they will have absolutely no idea where in the world what he is morons this is not woody his character revolves entirely around loyalty to the people around him not to condescending porcelain Pricks especially not when he is already shown in Toy Story 3 to have moved past losing bow every lesson he learned throughout those movies is rendered entirely meaningless and directly contradicted by this ending and the cherry on top of this nightmare cake is that Woody has to leave Buzz to get to this point the friend with whom he's been to the end ends of the Earth and back going through the worst obstacles a toy could possibly face and who he promised he'd be with for infinity and beyond and this film rips them away from each other and the only way they're able to get away with it is by falsely manipulating the story and playing with the lighting and the music to make you think this is something Woody would do when it just isn't the lyrics of the credit song say that I was a lonesome Cowboy you came along changed my life and fixed what was broken in me you can't be happy when you're all by yourself even the lyrics of the song are trying to convince you this is normal that Woody was entirely alone in Bonnie's room and that Bo Peep fixed something that was broken about him no shut up can it right now you abysmal clown rejects Woody was not alone he had his friends he had Buzz he had Jesse he had everybody Bonnie literally played with him in this movie there was nothing broken about him to fix stop trying to manipulate the story to justify your garbage messaging but this is what you have to do in order to pretend this makes any sense you have to all alter the events of the series to try to suit your narrative and constantly try to reinforce your reward version of reality through the visuals and the music in the hopes of the audience won't notice and you have to assassinate everything about Woody's character that made him who he is and leave behind nothing but a shell of his former self that is three for three Woody Buzz and Jesse all three Heroes of the original trilogy utterly destroyed by the steaming pile of garbage this movie had the same effect on me as Apollo Justice Ace Attorney I didn't realize how much the characters of the original trilogy connected with me on a personal level until I saw them all torn to shreds and their accomplishments undone I didn't realize how invested I was in the characters in the world of Danganronpa until this show bulldozed through all of it and this game nullified every substantive character Arc and major event that occurred throughout the series prior to that point and I didn't realize how much I loved the world and characters of Toy Story how close to my heart it all was and how much it emotionally resonated with me until I saw everything about them that I connected with incinerated Beyond repair by this movie it doesn't matter what angle you look at this movie from whether your priorities in judging a film lie in its plot themes or character all of those are fundamentally broken and the only things that are quality are the visual Fidelity animation music and voice acting all of which are nothing but decoration which without a competent base to lay them on will mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things yes the voice actors and musicians responsible for the dialogue and soundtrack are incredibly talented individuals who obviously did the best job they could to try to salvage this rotting corpse of a script but it doesn't matter how smooth the voices of the people telling the story are of the story that they are telling has as much cogency as a shredding piece of spaghetti and as for the animation it's Pixar you are guaranteed a gorgeous movie with the studio but the quality of a film's visuals are determined by its budget which we know is no trouble at all for Disney and by the limits of the current technology when the first Toy Story came out in theaters in 1995 it was a groundbreaking success nobody had ever seen anything like it because it was the first full-length feature film to be entirely comprised of computer animation as opposed to the more traditional era of Disney anime nation which only relied on CGI for things like the Cave of Wonders but if you compare the graphical Fidelity of this movie to Toy Story 4 it's not even kind of close in terms of which is more visually stunning which is why using it as a metric for assessing the quality of a film is utterly useless it can be a nice thing to praise if the substantive elements of it are exceptional but it cannot save a film all by itself you can be stunned by the animation even mesmerized by it you can be impressed by how far technology has come but you cannot use those feelings to argue that this film is good because they are the very same feelings people had back in 1995 and if you were to say the same thing about this movie today you'd be laughed at without remorse the visuals of a film are always going to age but a well-written script is timeless and everything about the way the script is written from the plots of the characters to the Thematic messaging is in tatters from the opening scene and it only gets worse and worse with each passing minute people love to immediately jump to Cars 2 is the worst Pixar movie it's the punching bag of their catalog and yes Cars 2 is a big steaming hot mess with a plot that runs on the lazy is most ridiculous and contrived chain of events that allows Mater to not only take the place of the American agent but continue to serve as a spy despite repeatedly telling Finn and Holly that but you know I'm just a toker right plus a myriad of luck that keeps allowing characters to survive such as Holly just so happening to be angled exactly where she needed to in order to hit this stupid generator literally if they had been tied down facing opposite directions they'd have died instantly not to mention the variety of absolutely insane events that unfold throughout the runtime and Lightning McQueen just blasted away get propelled tow truck not to mention the fact that they just summoned random new abilities whenever they get into any kind of trouble at all there's no attempted setups and payoffs it's just oh don't worry I have an emergency backup Gatling gun and parachute and tire grenades and the standard issue now you kids get all the good Hardware really and all of this leads to the most nonsensical payoff in any movie I have ever seen this film is so blatantly idiotic that even the characters in the movie are aware of it come on none of this happened pocket jets flying Spy Cars dude you're quite right it does sound like you know what Cars 2 doesn't do it doesn't blatantly assassinate its characters it doesn't regress Lightning McQueen all the way back to how he was the beginning of the first film it doesn't turn characters they wanted you to take seriously into a joke it doesn't undo the development between McQueen and Sally in fact any opportunity the characters from Radiator Springs get to do something they all act consistently with who they've been established to beat and contribute something meaningful to the film even if in the most seemingly minor of ways and it doesn't even dare to touch McQueen and Mater's friendship it doesn't rip them apart from each other with no justification but Toy Story 4 does assassinate its characters Toy Story 4 has every single problem that Cars 2 has from lazy contrivances to Impossible scenarios and simple breaks and logic and only adds to the pile by destroying Woody Buzz and Jesse this is Pixar's worst film and it's not even close nothing they ever make from here on out can possibly Dethrone this Abomination but even putting aside all the indefensible logical problems with this movie and the fact that it completely and utterly nullified every meaningful message and character Arc throughout the series this film's path of Destruction doesn't just stop at the end of this film it also tarnished Incredibles 2 because while it may be easy to forget as time passes Toy Story 4 was supposed to come out in 2017 but was then delayed in 2018 as Cars 3 got pushed up and was then delayed again to 2019 as Incredibles 2 was pushed up but while Cars 3 may have been able to pull itself together in time and provide a satisfying full circle conclusion to Lightning McQueen's story Incredibles 2 very clearly needed the extra year it has a hilarious and endearing family Dynamic involved storyline with the kids and it has hair raising masterfully choreographed and directed acting sequences in Helen's storyline but a completely wasted the underminers set up by turning someone who declared war on Humanity into a bank robber who immediately runs away barely had any scenes with the entire family working together to save the day until the very end of the movie which is what the entire first film worked to set up and features one of the most illogical villains in any movie ever a villain whose entire motivation is to make superheroes illegal in a world where superheroes are already illegal and he's going to do that by making them legal just to make them illegal again and it is blatantly obvious here that they ran out of time that they had a far more compelling villain and logical backstory than the sloppy spaghetti mess of a plot that they ended up with and that if they had that extra year they could have made this absolutely phenomenal but then Toy Story 4 came into the picture and ruined it all it pushed Incredibles 2 up a full year and as a result the team had to scramble to get something out the door no matter how flaw that ended up being and the reason why this delay for Toy Story 4 happened in the first place is because they threw out 75 of the original script as confirmed by Annie Potts meaning that they had an original story that I can guarantee you made more sense in this trash Heap but then there was a change in leadership a changing of hands as to who would be taking the reins for this project so they gave the title to Josh Cooley when Lee on critch was put in charge of Toy Story 3 he was somebody who helped edit the first movie and co-directed the second he was familiar with the series he was involved in the creation of the first two he was someone who very clearly loved these characters and wanted to give them a satisfying conclusion that they deserved after everything they been through but Josh Cooley wasn't even at Pixar when the first two films were released and wasn't involved in the creation of the third movie at all and yet they made him the director and put him in charge of leading this film to the Finish Line only he didn't just set out to finish what they started he set out to throw away almost everything the original creative team came up with and shove his own writing into the mix as a replacement he went out of his way to take the original script and change it to assassinate all these characters and destroy this world and nullify the messages of the original trilogy without a single care in the world and you know what maybe you think that I'm being unfair here maybe you think that I've been extremely uncharitable in my assumptions about this director after all hanlon's razor tells us never to ascribe malice to what could easily be ascribed to incompetence but here's the thing I've thought about this for the past two years ever since this movie came out thinking about this director's track record with making movies and the way he spoken about Toy Story 4 I don't earnestly believe that this man is incompetence I don't I honestly truly don't I believe this movie was nothing but a malicious attack on everything the original trilogy established why because Josh Cooley was on the writing team for inside out he was one of only three people who worked on writing the script for inside out which is one of the best movies Pixar has ever created he was a story artist on films like The Incredibles Ratatouille and up and he directed the short film Riley's first date which was not exactly one of the best things in Pixar's catalog so what's the dealio with Jordan OMG he is awesome sauce oh cheesy you just say oh sheezy it's still paid respect to the characters of inside Adam had them all act in ways that were in line with their behavior from the movie this man knows what he's doing he's not an idiot he knows how to make a quality film and you need look no further than his own director's commentary for this film to see that for yourself it actually doesn't make any sense at all I like pointing out how our movie doesn't work if you really break it down none of this makes any sense yeah it makes no sense at all we never see fireworks for the rest of the movie it's just behind Duke he knows what doesn't doesn't make sense in a film this isn't something like Loki where the people who wrote it were genuinely too stupid to realize that they had destroyed the MCU until they were asked about it after the show was already over literally saying that it was a necessary evil to tarnish the first three phases of the MCU in a desperate attempt to retroactively justify their decisions this isn't something like Danganronpa through where the lead writer thinks they've created a masterpiece he is fully cognizant of exactly what he's done here because he hates these characters they're such fun characters because they have no connection to our characters and they're brand new fun of this movie to me was all these new characters that we can create and bring to life and he hates the messages about family that the original trilogy tried to send and instead replaced them all with shells of their former selves or blatant contradictions to their former selves and the only way he could make it work was to Gaslight you into thinking that Jesse's always been like this and never grew past her fears that buzz has always been stupid and that Woody has always been this insecure about himself and never learned lessons to move past it this film doesn't work if the audience remembers any of these things if they remember that Jesse overcame her fears that buzz is one of the smartest characters in the series or the Woody already evolved past all these insecurities throughout the trilogy then this film immediately ceases to function so all he can do is try to guess like you into thinking that this is all totally normal and then further drive that point home in the director's commentary and he still has the audacity to stand up on that stage and say into the camera to millions of people that he hopes Woody and Buzz made growing up a little bit easier for them as he accepts an award that he earned by tearing down those characters that he didn't create that people loved with all their hearts leaving behind nothing but a trail of Destruction in his wake well guess what Cooley those characters did make growing up easier for me they've had a greater impact in my life than you could ever wrap your head around and you destroyed them all without a care in the world riding off into the sunset as the rotting corpse of Toy Story is sprawling onto the floor behind you with absolutely no hope of Salvation because Pixar has declared this to be the grand finale of the story despite what was originally intended all those years ago ending up at a landfill and then ultimately heading towards the belching Inferno of an incinerator that's the end that is the end there's nothing beyond that and I thought if we're going to end this Trilogy in a big way really push the toys to the brink I thought that we should take them to the dump it was supposed to be the end it was supposed to stop here but you wouldn't let the franchise stop here not so long as you had characters you could assassinate in a world you could just destroy and then you ran away from Pixar as soon as you're at work and destroying this series was done so you could rest and watch the sun rise on a hateful universe as they watch in horror what you've done is they realize that now there's nothing left that can salvage this series we can't look to the Future at an upcoming project and hope that it will save the day because there's nothing to look to this is the end of the line and it's all your fault you ruined this you've destroyed it all and you did it all with a crooked smile on your face it looks like it belongs in a villain of your company's own making he has absolutely no respect for this franchise and as a result I have absolutely no respect for this director after what he's done he may claim to love Toy Story I love Toy Story I saw the first two before I started working here at Pixar and to be asked to direct this movie was such a huge honor and terrifying because I didn't want to mess it up but actions speak louder than words it doesn't matter if I say I love something if I'm simultaneously plunging a knife into that same thing because in case it's not clear he doesn't believe he's done anything wrong Josh Cooley believes that what he did to these characters was in the best interests of everyone and that massive ego was only further inflated when they handed him that shiny trophy so he'll Coast through the rest of his life by resting on his Laurels with an unshakable belief that destroying beloved characters leads you to great success and judging by the audience's reaction to this garbage there's nobody else in the world that will ever try to convince him otherwise so take your Looney Tunes rip-offs Evil Knievel failures and erotic Spork with you as you go right off into your next project that puts another massive paycheck in your pocket and go [ __ ] yourself to infinity and beyond well that was just about the most mentally taxing thing I've ever done even in spite of the simple consecutive 24-hour periods of time that I spent editing my Danganronpa 3 Series now working on those videos nearly brought me to my knees this series was still the most emotionally drained thing I have ever created because I love Toy Story I don't know that there is a piece of art on this planet that is more intrinsically linked to my heart in this series because outside of things like Baby Einsteins the Toy Story movies were some of the first pieces of concept that I ever consumed my entire life and these stories and characters helped me through some of the toughest periods in my life I even watched them on their VHS tapes that's how long I've been watching these moves in fact they're the only VHS tips I still own I didn't realize how much I cared about this world and how attached there was to these characters until I saw them all torn down in this movie because sitting in the theater on opening day watching this movie was like being stabbed in the heart over and over again for 90 minutes I've wanted to make a video tearing this film to shred and explaining how it destroyed everything about the original trilogy ever since I walked into that theater over two years ago and now the work is done I can finally rest now knowing that I've done my job and drawn attention to this dumpster fire because good Lord Almighty the world was way too kind to this movie whether it was because they were dazzled by the Pretty Lights reminded of their childhood by the music or just because they like seeing the Toy Story toys do stuff I have no idea but the world did not give this film the proper dose of analytical decimation that it deserved and I finally decided to change that and with that the series is now over and what an insane Journey it was thank you all for sticking through to the end of this six hour long super cut of how Toy Story 4 destroyed everything I certainly had a lot to say and I hope you found my commentary insightful people have been asking me to combine all five parts of the series together into one huge video for a while now and after seeing the almost unanimous results of the poll I put out to you guys I finally decided to sit down and Stitch them together I don't think I'll ever be able to properly Express how much your support for this channel is meant to me ever since the Toy Story 4 videos took off out of nowhere back in May and I couldn't really think of anything special that I could do to celebrate outside of putting together this super cut but I still wanted to do something to commemorate this series it's thanks to Hal Toy Story 4 destroyed everything in your support for it that I've been given the chance to earn money from talking about movies and games that I'm passionate about and I will be forever grateful for that for as long as there's an audience interested in what I have to say I'm gonna keep this ball rolling for as long as I can so if you want to hear me tear more awful stories to shreds then you're in luck at this point I've covered way too many movies and games to list them all in extensive detail so in the description you can find a play list with every single analysis video that I have ever made on this channel I've covered a lot of ground over the past few years talking about some of my favorite and least favorite movies and games of all time either with individual videos or ranking lists with the most recent addition being my series covering Incredibles 2. I mentioned in today's video that Incredibles 2 really suffered from being pushed up a year so if you want to hear more about just how much it suffered you can check out that trilogy of videos who knows maybe I'll end up making a super cut of that series if this one does well if you're looking for something a bit different than my typical reviews then might I recommend to you the light year audio commentary that I did with some of my friends we watched through the entire movie and commentated over all of it talking about how none of it made any sense at all and laughing at its stupidity the entire time sadly you can't listen to the entire unedited commentary track because well copyright but that video will still give you the highlights of our light year Adventures we had an absolute blast recording it and I cannot recommend it to you enough and if you end up liking it you're in luck because we have plans to do even more commentary reactions for more movies in the very near future speaking of future videos don't worry I am still working on videos talking about cars on the road and light year I would ordinarily give a general release window for these things but that usually ends up backfiring significantly because of the lengths that I pushed myself to in order to not break my release date promises so instead I'll just say that they'll be ready when they're ready outside of those I also have some other bonus projects hooking up in the background so there's a behind the scenes video from my Incredibles 2 Series and more movie commentaries like I mentioned earlier with the crew from the light year commentary there's a lot of fun stuff coming up in the next few months and I hope you all enjoy it but for the time being I gotta get back to work still plenty of production left to be done on those projects I just mentioned once again I'd like to thank you all for coming along this adventure with me be sure to check out my other videos if anything I've described today piqued your interest and beyond that hope to see you all soon for whatever you decide to watch next so long partners [Music]
