All good (Toy) Story's come to an end...
Contains spoilers, click to show
Toy story 4 was outed as unnecessary to most, I was happy to see more providing it wasn't more of the same.
Unfortunately it was another Rescue story but luckily the story was saved by being a different kind of rescue.
In the begging the toys are once again seperated by a clear out as Bo peep is is boxed, only this time their rescue is unsuccessful....
Eventually the remaining toys are introduced to Forky...who believes his destiny is to be trash? After multiple attempts to escape forky manages to escape during a road trip and and woody goes to recover & rescue him which reunites him with an old friend.....
Bo peep guy's, its Bo peep, don't be too shocked haha...
I enjoyed most of this film but was left unsatisfied with the ending, the original 3 had a solid emotional ending but this although was a nice finish, left me feeling like the real ending was left on the cutting floor.
The introduction of new characters was another nice addition although unnecessary and the big bad was a nice alternative, but it is safe to say that this was indeed a nice way to end things.
(Toys story 5 coming 2025....lol)

Merissa (13948 KP) rated Something Cryptid This Way Comes (Love in Maplewood #9) in Books
Jul 11, 2025
SOMETHING CRYPTID THIS WAY COMES is the ninth book in the Love in Maplewood series and can be read as a standalone.
Bram and Trevor were best friends growing up, until Bram left Maplewood. They have remained long-distance friends and go on holiday together once a year. The only trouble is Trevor thinks a whole lot more of Bram than just Best Friends. And Bram is afraid to rock the boat and lose the friendship. Along comes some Maplewood Matchmakers!
This is a nice story with good pacing and low angst. Trevor and Bram don't wait for the closing act to get their thoughts in gear, giving some nice scenes where they realise who they are to each other. Most of the intimate scenes between them are, well, not fade-to-black exactly, more like fade-to-grey. And when trouble does occur, it is easily sorted with little drama.
And that, I'm afraid, is why I'm giving it 3 stars. It was nice. It didn't thrill me, it didn't sweep me away, and I didn't feel that connected with the main characters. It was just... nice.
** Same worded review will appear elsewhere. **
