Toy Story 4

Woody has always been confident about his place in the world, devoted to taking care of his kid—whether that's Andy or Bonnie. But after Bonnie creates a reluctant new toy called "Forky", a road trip adventure alongside old and new friends challenges everything Woody believes about loyalty, purpose, and what it truly means to be a toy.

One of the most acclaimed animated sequels in years, Toy Story 4 won over critics with its sharp action set-pieces, emotional depth, and the sheer audacity of adding something genuinely new to a franchise most assumed was complete. The main fault line in reviews wasn't quality but necessity — a handful of critics felt the themes were underdeveloped and the whole enterprise ultimately disposable, even as the majority found it more than earned its place in the series.
