Toy Story 4

CURSE THIS FEARFUL LIFE OF INFINITE SORROW! Plastic cowboy Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) spent a whole movie trilogy worrying about losing his beloved child until 2010s Toy Story 3 ended with college-bound Andy giving his toys to a preschooler. In the haphazardly entertaining Toy Story 4, Bonnie (Madeleine McGraw) is starting kindergarten—and she’s already left Woody behind, leaving him in the closet collecting dust.

This unnecessary franchise extension isn’t as emotionally soaring as the previous films. And yet, to its credit, Toy Story 4 is self-critical: Even Woody doesn’t know what he’s still doing here. Bonnie has new interests. She removes Woody’s sheriff badge and gives it to Jessie (Joan Cusack), a promotion that disappointingly backgrounds the Toy Story 2 heroine into seventh-banana status. And Bonnie glues googly eyes to a white spork, naming the resulting trash monster Forky. Soon, Forky is stumble-walking on Popsicle legs and tremble-talking with Tony Hale’s freaky poignant voice.
