The first full trailer looked fantastic, but then they went downhill.

Glad to see they still got it though.

Huh. I expected a cheap cash grab, especially since the ending of Toy Story 3 was the perfect way to end the franchise.

The story concluded in 3

If that's your reason, why did you watch 2 and 3? It's not like the first movie (or the second) needed a sequel to "finish the story".

No, but 3 definitively concluded it, whereas 1 and 2 did not. Boycotting.

This is the epitome of petty.

I too was not thrilled that a fourth film was being made when the third one ended so perfectly (there's even a jab at this viewpoint in one of the teasers), but it seems they have found a reason and way to continue the story, and it looks just as good as the first three.

look, if you don't want to see 4 because you don't care, that's fine. that's my reason! I feel like 3 was a fine film and a good way to end the series.

but to say that the "story concluded" in 3 is now factually inaccurate. creators decide when their story is over. if this was something where none of the original cast/creators had anything to do with it that would be one thing. fans do not have ownership over when stories end.

you can't say 3 concluded the story when 2 literally only existed because Disney basically blackmailing Pixar into making it. Toy Story 2 was not going to exist.

That said I won't be seeing 4 because I don't care anymore but I'm not doing it to make a statement or anything. who the fuck cares that one dude isn't seeing a movie that everyone is going to see?

This post is amazing. You should retire from B8 now, because there is no way you will ever be able to write a post that's any more "Sephy" than this.

also you didn't respond to my post pointing out that Disney forced Pixar to make Toy Story 2 and that they didn't want to

does that throw off your narrative of the "perfect trilogy" of Toy Story 1-3 or something

is it easier to throw out the strawman of fucking rosa parks to try to make a point about a kids movie about toys than address the actual argument I'm making

I don't think it tops his post about how, as a Republican, he experiences the same segregation as black Americans during the Civil Rights movement.

Like it's been 15 years, how is that kind of post from Seph surprising in any way? The true "holy shit" is that anyone is surprised - the true "holy shit" is that this topic was allowed to be so easily derailed by one knowingly ridiculous stance from a user who has dealt in them for about half our collective lifetimes.

The man behind the SephG persona likely does believe that TS3 concluded things well and TS4 is unncessary. However, this is a fairly common opinion. So of course, when posting on board 8, he has to take it a step further and create a full-on boycott which he then justifies with those obviously absurd comparisons - because posting "normal" dissatisfaction has never been how he works. Are you really, actually in any way surprised?

I'm curious what the "idea" for Toy Story 4 is. Toy Story 3, to me, isn't so much about "completing the story" and more that it had something interesting to explore that made doing it all those years after the first two actually make sense. I watched Toy Story as a kid, and Toy Story 3 came out when I was in college (like pretty much everyone here), and that life transition is exactly what the movie explores. It really meant something special to me at the time, and that made it way more than just a sequel cash grab. It was well justified in being made.

So what's Toy Story 4's deal? Does it have something new to say? Or is it just Toy Story done over again for a new generation? It must be high quality either way for it to have such an insane rotten tomatoes score. But what does it do that should make me want to watch it?

Spoilers, but nothing that isn't in the trailers.

There is a new major character having an existential crisis, and Woody seems to be questioning his own purpose as well.

You should. It really is an amazing series.

Over the years I have changed my ranking of the three as I see more strengths and flaws in each one. The only thing I have maintained always is 3 > 2, but my placement of 1 has fluctuated into each position. Right now I say 3 > 2 > 1, and hopefully 4 goes at the top so I can truly say that the series just keeps getting better.

I was curious why this topic had so many posts, huh

I've only seen Toy Story 1 and 2 and they're good and fun but I never got attached to them like most people so I never saw 3. Despite literally being Andy's exact age in Toy Story 3 so it should have resonated with me the most.

For most people yes, but there's a history here of him making very similar statements that were not in jest. Like, VERY similar.
