"""And then I always think the Pixar film is always the best film of the year. Always. I just think they are amazing. Last year, I thought Coco was the film of the year. Those films are just brilliant, like Wall-E or Up, and you say, “How did they ever get that made? How did they ever get that past somebody?” I don’t know what’ll happen with Lassiter not there, but I’m a big animation fan. But I would say if I had to pick favorites, probably some of the Miyazaki films, those animated films. Spirited Away maybe. They’re just art. He is head and shoulders above everybody, and he said he was retiring. He’s like 86 or something. Then I just read he’s making a new film. Yeah, probably Spirited Away. It’s got 17 different styles of art in it. It just keeps changing. You just keep getting blown away. You can’t believe what you’re seeing"""

Pixar's latest (at the time of reviewing), released exclusively on Disney+.

I don't know whether it was always intended to be so, or because of the current worldwide Covid-19 pandemic (I lean towards the latter).

In any case, this is somewhat along the lines of 'Inside Out', although more metaphysical in nature, examining just what life is all about. It takes a good 40 minutes or so - I felt - to get going, and probably could have trimmed the ending down a bit.

I guess what I'm trying to say is there there is the kernel of a good idea and film here, but - for me - it just doesn't really cut it, with too much padding (IMO) to make it a really enjoyable movie. Definitely not up there with the likes of any of the 'Toy Story' films, or even with the aforementioned 'Inside Out' despite the similarities

Animation is top-notch, though.

Toy Story 4 is the sequel that no one really needed. Its one massive positive is that it manages not to ruin what the first three films created. It does somehow take characters back a step in their development though, which is slightly confusing, particularly with Buzz. Seeing this film is definitely not a waste of your time, but I don't think it can top what we've already had in the series, apart from when it comes to the animation which is truly incredible. I guarantee you'll think that within the first five minutes.
Remember to stay for the credit scenes, there are four (I think) in the first section, and then one right at the end.
