The first nagging question I have had for the last few years with Pixar hasn’t been, “Does this really need a sequel?” It’s, “Which Pixar made this movie?” Will it be the one that knows how to tell a story well?\u00a0Coco<\/em>,\u00a0Inside Out<\/em> and\u00a0Up<\/em>. Or it will it be the one doing Disney’s bidding by delivering crap on par with\u00a0Frozen<\/em>?\u00a0Monsters University, Finding Dory\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0everything starting with the word “cars?” Despite the indirect firing of John Lasseter, the Pixar I love came to make the best sequel to\u00a0Toy Story\u00a0<\/em>ever;\u00a0just when you didn’t think there was much left in the tank\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0it avoided the biggest flaw of sequels\u2026piling on more characters on top of the existing ones, resulting in a mess and\/or a lazy repeat of what happened in the first movie. The Pixar I prefer makes a movie its staff wants to see, not an 80-minute distraction for divorced dads who need to entertain their kids when its their custody weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n As per the trailers, Woody, Buzz and the gang go on an impromptu quest to find out what happened to Bo Peep, the lamp played by Annie Potts in\u00a01\u00a0<\/em>and 2<\/em>.<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>The other storyline involves a “toy” made by Bonnie, the gang’s new child. Plus Key & Peele doing their valet skit in the form of two stuffed animals from a carnival game.<\/span><\/p>\n I’m not going to go into any details about the story, this works best as a surprise since it’s original unlike how\u00a02\u00a0<\/em>was a rehash of\u00a01\u00a0<\/em>and you could say the same about\u00a0The Incredibles<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0Finding Nemo<\/em> just being\u00a0Toy Story\u00a0<\/em>under water. Why I loved\u00a04<\/em> as the best sequel was the execution of its physical jokes and this is when Pixar nails it, I teared up a little during a couple of the emotional scenes. I think it’s also the most Easter Egg laden movie Pixar has done to date. The one involving\u00a0Star Wars<\/em> hasn’t been spotted by anyone other than me so far. If you know what I’m talking about, spill it.<\/span><\/p>\n Just see\u00a0Toy Story 4<\/em> and with Disney+ (aka, Super Evil Netflix), it will be dessert for my next Pixar marathon sans\u00a0Cars 1-3<\/em> while I will grant exceptions for the other mediocre fare to be a partial completist.<\/span><\/p>\n Let’s hope\u00a0Onward<\/em> which will debut next Spring doesn’t suck because I’m rather tired of Chris Pratt.<\/span><\/p>\n Alamo Extras:\u00a0<\/strong>Cowboy singers from the Thirties or Forties; Asian music video with Eighties toys\u00a0doing stop motion;\u00a0Space Patrol<\/em> (Fifties show) plugging their mystery box; French singer Dalida’s music video Zoom Zoom Zoom,”; tap-dancing kid dressed as a bell hop; Thirties cartoon of toys coming to life after the store closes.<\/span><\/p>\n Old Toy Commercials:<\/span><\/p>\n Alamo presented “Reasons For Loving Pixar”<\/span><\/p>\n Our Avatars couldn’t wait to go as favorite characters!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The first nagging question I have had for the last few years with Pixar hasn’t been, “Does this really need a sequel?” It’s, “Which Pixar made this movie?” Will it be the one that knows how to tell a story … Continue reading \n
