It’s honestly really good. I quite enjoyed it. It is very emotional, but it didn’t hit me hard emotionally like 3 did. I did enjoy it more than 4. Not to say I didn’t like 4, it was also good for me. I like the fresh take on focusing on different characters rather than woody. It’s a breath of fresh air for the franchise cause I feel there’s only so much you can focus on one toy. I thought the new toys were fun too. Overall, it’s very enjoyable I’d say. I really liked the buzz sub plot.

“Now this is flying.. in style!” This was a great Toy Story. I’m pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the new characters, the retro tech toys, Lilypad, Jimmy Dean and Blaze! The jokes in the first half of the movie were good, but the second half really turned it up a notch. That’s unfortunately how I felt about the movie overall as well, the second half is miles ahead in quality compared to the first. The Buzz army storyline felt like it was dragging a bit, but it had a decent payout… but debatable if it was worth the dragged out arc. Overall though, it hits all the of the right emotional beats and really speaks to how difficult it can be to connect in a world full of access. (side note: I don’t think they’ll ever be able to top the emotional punch of the ending of 3.)
