Toy Story 4

Finally saw “Toy Story 4”. I fell in love with the first one when it came out in early childhood, and I saw the rest, but I don’t carry that vibrant flame for the franchise that many of my generation do. But I have to say that this new entry in the series captures more for that generation than mere nostalgia. The mood of the nebulously young adults who grew up with the early movies is one that does its best to laugh off the near nihilistic sense of meaningless and futility that tints their view of the modern world. The main new character in “Toy Story 4” is one who keeps saying that he’s trash as he excitedly tries to dispose of himself, which definitely feels like a valid encapsulation of the millennial zeitgeist.

But I just liked the movie. Personally, I preferred it to the last.

Bonus Question!

Best toy?

Cuddly.
