It seemed like the perfect ending to the <a href=\"https:\/\/toystory.disney.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toy Story<\/a> trilogy. Andy found a perfect home for his childhood friends and everyone was happy.<\/p>\n<p>I was surprised when <a href=\"https:\/\/d23.com\/toy-story-4-announced-favorite-toys-returning-big-screen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Disney announced<\/a> that the toys were back in town. I didn\u2019t know how to feel. But, you can bet I jumped on the opportunity to see the movie a week early during a <a href=\"https:\/\/d23.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">D23<\/a> member screening.<\/p>\n<p>My 5 year old son and I invited his 6 year old friend and mom for a mommy-son movie date. Here\u2019s a spoiler free review of Toy Story 4.<\/p>\n<h5>So did you like the movie?<\/h5>\n<p>Both boys &#8211; YEAH!<\/p>\n<p>Both moms &#8211; Yes, it was really good.<\/p>\n<h5>Who was your favorite character and why?<\/h5>\n<p>5 year old (L) &#8211; Ducky and Bunny! I don&#8217;t want to say why&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>6 year old (B) &#8211; Forky!

L, did you like Forky too?<\/h5>\n<p>L &#8211; Yeah, He was my 3rd favorite character. Ducky, Bunny then Forky.<\/p>\n<h5>Moms how did you feel about Forky? He seems to be a character that Disney is <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyparks.disney.go.com\/blog\/2019\/05\/new-merchandise-inspired-by-forky-from-disney-and-pixars-toy-story-4-debuts-at-disneyland-walt-disney-world-resorts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">really advertising in the stores<\/a> and on TV.<\/h5>\n<p>Me &#8211; He grew on me. I think he ended up having a good story.<\/p>\n<p>H &#8211; He was cute and good comic relief. He was definitely different, but they did a great job developing his character into something that worked.<\/p>\n<p>Me &#8211; But why did he want to go to the trash so much?<\/p>\n<p>H &#8211; Because that&#8217;s what he knew and what he was comfortable with. He didn&#8217;t know any different.<\/p>\n<p>Me &#8211; Mind blown! That is totally true!<\/p>\n<h5>Moms, who was your favorite character?<\/h5>\n<p>H &#8211; I think <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2019\/06\/walt-disney-world-news-6-3-19\/\">Bo Peep<\/a>. I liked how strong and independent she was.<\/p>\n<p>Me &#8211; I agree. I really liked that they told more of her story and made her a strong female lead. But she was also there for Woody and understanding of his feelings.<\/p>\n<h5>Did you think there was anything inappropriate for young children?<\/h5>\n<p>Both moms &#8211; No, I don&#8217;t think so. I didn&#8217;t notice any inappropriate language or scenes that I wouldn&#8217;t want my young child to watch. The ventriloquist dolls were kinda creepy but the kids didn&#8217;t seem to think anything of it. There were a couple jokes that the kids didn&#8217;t get, but not because they were inappropriate, just geared to an older audience.<\/p>\n<p>H &#8211; I will let my 3 year old daughter see it and I think she will enjoy it. I think Toy Story 3 had more intense moments and this was fairly tame for young kids.<\/p>\n<h5>Did you cry?<\/h5>\n<p>Boys &#8211; no<\/p>\n<p>H &#8211; I got teared up.<\/p>\n<p>Me &#8211; My kid started moving around and getting antsy at the emotional parts so I didn&#8217;t really get the opportunity to cry.<\/p>\n<h5>Moms, do you think people will need as many tissues as Toy Story 3?<\/h5>\n<p>Both moms &#8211; No, definitely not. But it was still sweet.<\/p>\n<h5>L why were you so squirmy? Were you bored?<\/h5>\n<p>L &#8211; I just needed to stretch, I don&#8217;t think it was boring. I liked it.<\/p>\n<h5>As a mom, what hit home with you the most?<\/h5>\n<p>Me &#8211; Comparing Bonnie going to kindergarten with our boys going to kindergarten. I want them to make new friends and feel excited.<\/p>\n<p>H &#8211; Yeah, I wish they had made the idea of going to kindergarten more positive but I understand that is how Forky came to be. I liked the lessons of strength, independence and realizing that sometimes your meant for bigger things.<\/p>\n<p>Me &#8211; Wow, that is profound! Yeah, they really did a great job with showing that didn&#8217;t they?!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-71806\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Toy-Story-4-display-1-400x299.png\" alt=\"Movie theater display for Toy Story 4\" width=\"400\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Toy-Story-4-display-1-400x299.png 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Toy-Story-4-display-1.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>So are you glad they made a Toy Story 4 or should they have stopped at 3?<\/h5>\n<p>Boys &#8211; Happy!<\/p>\n<p>H &#8211; Toy Story 3 was so good and ended so well. I love the Toy Story characters so I am always excited when there is something new with these characters. I think they did a good job with this movie and they exceeded my expectations. It kept me very entertained and I am glad they made it.<\/p>\n<p>Me &#8211; I was excited to see these characters again but I didn&#8217;t want them to ruin the franchise. Toy Story 3 was soooo good, so I was nervous. But I don&#8217;t think they ruined the franchise, I think they added to it. It was very good.<\/p>\n<h5>Should people stay to the end of the credits?<\/h5>\n<p>All &#8211; YES! The very end!<\/p>\n<h5>Notes from me:<\/h5>\n<p>Keep your eyes peeled for some great Disney Easter Eggs, like Boo from Monsters Inc, a Grape Soda pin from Up and so many things in the Antique store!<\/p>\n<p>This movie is a must see for any Toy Story fan, kid, or kid at heart!
