Toy Story 4: Real story - why?

Why?
Why did Pixar and Disney decide to bring back a franchise that touchingly ended years ago?

Easy.
Money.

This is one of those ugly monsters that creep around Hollywood - that Jurassic Park sized question.

"Your [producers] were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

And no, Disney. You shouldn't have.

Toy Story 4 is a manipulative adventure back into the world of toys, continuing the tradition of making kids feel bad about inanimate objects that *don't* actually have feelings.
Most of my thoughts are in the video, but what didn't make it there is written here.

How did this movie make me feel?
Bad.
I felt a lot during Toy Story 4 - happy, sad, touched, angry.
But I never got over the fact that I shouldn't have had to feel these feelings.

That this movie was pointless.
Unnecessary.
Needless.

The Positives:
The art is beautiful. The CGI is fantastic. The story is strong. The emotion is there, and sometimes the humor is, too.
Duke Kaboom and Forky are worthwhile.

The Negatives:
That this movie exists at all? Why? Why even be here?
Bonnie - THIS LITTLE GIRL IS THE WORST. I can't forgive this movie or this awful little girl, and I definitely am not forgiving Disney.
Andy was going to take Woody to college. He would have kept Woody the rest of his life and passed him down to his children, just as his parents did before him. Woody would have been part of Andy's life FOREVER.
If it weren't for Bonnie.
This little brat was tender and sweet in Toy Story 3, loving her "Cowboy doll."
Too bad five minutes in to Toy Story 4 she's abandoned him, leaving him in the closet and TAKING HIS SHERIFF'S BADGE AWAY to give to Jessie.
She's the worst.
I actually, straight up, no joke HATE this little animated character. She is evil itself. She's also a brat.
I work with kids between ages 3-5 and none of them, unless poorly disciplined, are as whiny or bratty as she is.

Go home, Bonnie. You don't deserve any toys.

The Rating:
Cinematography: 4 feathers
Emotional Effect (and occasional manipulation): 4 feathers
Story: 4 feathers
Actual movie: 2 feathers. WHY DID YOU DO THIS?

Final Verdict:
If you have small children (under 9), then go for it. They'll love it, but you might feel a bit used.
If you grew up on Toy Story like I did...run, don't walk, to get away from this movie.
