There’s no denying it — the original Toy Story trilogy is a masterclass in animated storytelling. For fans who grew up alongside Woody, Buzz, and the gang, Toy Story 3 gave us a heartfelt, emotional, and perfect ending to a beloved series that spanned generations. But when Toy Story 4 was announced, many fans were skeptical… and after its release, disappointed. Instead of honoring the trilogy’s flawless conclusion, Disney and Pixar delivered what felt like a cash grab sequel that upended years of perfect storytelling.
