Animation. Fantasy. Adventure. Comedy. Kids Woody has always been confident about his place in the world and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. But when Bonnie adds a reluctant new toy called “Forky” to her room, a road trip adventure alongside old and new friends will show Woody how big the world can be for a toy.

	Media	Author	Review
		Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"It's been nearly a decade since 'Toy Story 3' put a satisfying capper on what seemed likely to remain a trilogy, but the same level of wit, imagination and, yes, magic has been summoned to create yet another fully worthy sibling."
		Peter Debruge Variety	"This series’ quaternary installment adds so much that audiences will find it hard to imagine the saga without it (...) An organic and intuitive new chapter that enriches our understanding of the characters"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"If this movie doesn’t touch your heart, you’d have to be as lifeless as the toys pretend to be when humans are in the vicinity (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"[t] is still flying high on visual pow, pinwheeling fun and soulful feeling (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"Does it tug the heartstrings? Absolutely. Is it funny? The funniest of the quartet, in fact (...) [But] at times [it] feels more like a high-budget episode of television than a sweeping film (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"[It] is astonishing, as its predecessors were, at getting us emotionally involved with G-rated computer-generated images. Who would ever believe that toys could break your heart?"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"Touching, raucously funny, adventurous and yes, even profound (...) It's a towering accomplishment (...) The story takes unexpected risks that speak to the genuine creative artistry at work here"
		Brian Truitt USA Today	"While treading in familiar themes of nostalgia and identity (...) [it] benefits from a funnier story than usual, neato debuting characters (...) [and] improved animation (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Laura Prudom IGN	"'Toy Story 4' is every bit as magical as its predecessors (...) A visual wonderland that’s crammed with subtle nuances and loving callbacks to previous Pixar films"
		Matt Goldberg Collider	"[It] is the best Pixar sequel since Toy Story 2 (...) It’s hard to imagine the series going out on a better note than this."
		Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly	"[It] doesn’t hit the emotional highs of the previous films. There are good jokes that work and heist setpieces that don’t. The ending is moving"
		Bilge Ebiri Vulture	"Seriously, did David Lynch write this thing? (...) What makes 'Toy Story 4' work is that instead of providing us with a clear emotional map to its characters and themes, the film never quite lets us know what to feel."
		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"It may not reach the emotional heights of 'Toy Story 3', but contemporary American animation’s gold standard remains untarnished"
		Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Some of the most purely delightful character animation I’ve ever seen and a script that made me shake with laughter at least once every five minutes (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"This movie is fundamentally repeating itself: repeating characters, ideas and plotlines – even if it does it with buoyancy and charm (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Dan Jolin Empire	"There’s no denying the joy of seeing Woody and friends back in action, while once again it’ll likely leave you with a tear in your eye (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Norman Wilner Now Toronto	"The 'Toy Story' movies exist to delight children and rip out the hearts of adults (...) Whatever else it’s doing, that’s not what you’d expect from a billion-dollar franchise (...) I’m kind of loving that.(…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Molly Freeman Screen Rant	"With a keen eye for detail from director Cooley and a sharply written script by Stanton and Folsom (...) 'Toy Story 4' is a captivating rumination on discovering our place in the world (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Howell Toronto Star	"There’s quality in every detail — and oh, what details! Every blade of grass and drop of water seems handcrafted by artisan elves (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Donald Clarke Irish Times	"[Sometimes it looks like] a lucrative afterthought. Happily, there are compensations in some fine new characters (...) Not absolute top-flight Pixar. No embarrassment either (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Paul Whitington Irish Independent	"'Toy Story 4's script has a light and subtle touch. It’s a good deal funnier than 'Toy Story 3', and rarely makes the mistake of trading on past glories (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Sinead Brennan RTÉ	"This outing is undeniably funny and heartfelt and will give you all the warm and fuzzies that only 'Toy Story' can (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Brian Lloyd entertainment.ie	"An excellent encore to one of the finest animated properties of the modern era (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Adam Fresco Flicks	"[It] does a damn fine job, embracing the inevitability of kids growing up, only to be replaced by new children in search of stories packed full of warmth, humour and unabashed merchandising (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Wenlei Ma News	"[It] proves, once again, that there’s still life left in this charming and smart franchise (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		DM Bradley The Adelaide Review	"Another delight, with beautiful animation, a glittering voice cast, some gorgeous gags, innovative touches, and a typically Pixar serving of sincere feeling."
		Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald	"If the series really is bowing out, it's doing so very gracefully (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
