I'm partial to Pixar.
"4" Rust returned to the writing team, and his familiarity with the genre simply showed the terrible ability of "genre juggling". On top of this, we must leave aside the greasy artisanization, and present a complete theme and a new entertainment look and feel. It is said to be dancing in shackles, but this dance is really not easy.
What are the flaws. That's more and more toys, Molly's, and Andy's, plus Bonnie's own, old, new, big, small. It became impossible to develop a group portrait, so it was still Woody's single hero's personal hero mode, which made all the toys completely reduced to the background board. The brilliance is gone, Triss, Pony and others basically do nothing but wait for Woody and play a bit of piecemeal functions. The addition of new toys only adds to the sense of variety show without depth. It's a pity to think about the tragic and solemn life and death of a group of toys in "3".
There is not much to say in terms of craftsmanship, they are all excellent benchmarks.
What is the theme of this episode? The highest value of the free world is "freedom". For two-thirds of the time I watched the film, I always felt in a trance that Woody was like a guardian angel for a while and an old mother for a while. In Zinianzi, his obsession that he must be loyal to his master because the soles of his feet were marked, and his own fear of knowing the direction of his destiny opened a rift in the whole story. And we were able to follow this rift into Woody's heart and follow him to complete an important life lesson. When the company is over, it should be thrown into the free world with memories.
Why does the story go back 9 years? Because the rift started when Andy left. In fact, it can be seen from Woody's slip of the tongue that his recognition and belonging to Andy is the deepest and strongest. Bonnie is just helping him to move forward. A relay station in the free world. As a 50-year-old cowboy, this old bone of nostalgia has not experienced a little pain in the flesh (changing the vocal cords), and the spiritual leader and object of love (Shepherdess), the understanding and encouragement of old friends (Bass light years), I am afraid it is difficult to give up.
The hardest part of life is leaving. The dazzling splendor of the Brave New World may still be better than the ecstasy under the crystal lights of an old antique store. All kinds of unfulfilled wishes, unfulfilled complexes, all the affection of the past world, small toys, there is a child's most precious childhood, and it is also a worry-free island that everyone will lose forever. But this time, what Mr. Pixar taught everyone by knocking on the blackboard was actually, Let go, such a mature and vicissitudes decision. So a seemingly ordinary rescue and escape, separation and rebirth, all made the effect of a simple story, called a large-scale psychological healing.
We actually don't know what kind of journey Woody and Shepherdess can start after leaving their masters, but in any case, the sheriff, who is worried, always feels that this time he is going to retire and start a family. This is not a microcosm of life, there is time to accompany the end, but this ending is sad but not low, affirming the past positively, facing the future bravely, what is lost is a certainty, but it is not worthless. The only way to tell the story.
Fork at the end gets a new partner spoon, and the last line is: Why am I alive? I do not know either. What makes garbage a toy, and what makes people a human? But that is the legacy that the old world left us, and it is worth remembering.
