That ending made no sense


Spoilers, obviously.

I mean, what the heck? At the end of the movie Woody abandons Bonnie and all his toy friends, including Buzz, to go hang with Bo Peep and her buddies at the carnival.

What?! Woody, the one character through all 4 movies who preached the value of loyalty, never giving up, never abandoning your responsibility, talking about how great it is to have a kid...suddenly and without warning decides he'd rather be a lost toy.

For no reason. Without explanation or precedent. The rest of the movie was pretty good (not great - the parents indulge Bonnie's obsession with Forky a LOT longer than a normal parent would) but that ending was ridiculous and out of character for Woody.

You blew it, Disney and Pixar.

I agree. That ending was totally out of character for Woody. Throughout all the films he NEVER gave up and remained loyal even when he wasn't being played with. Let's not forget this is NOT the first time he was not played with, so it had nothing to do with Bonnie not playing with him. It had more to do with that beginning scene and him wanting to be with Bo.

This movie was supposed to show transformation of woodys character, with forky being the catalyst for that transfomation. It has shown that woody has finally learned that sometimes you have to move on.

It's when a man thinks with the little brain and not the big brain ! Done some stupid stuff for lust and love it's an illness really at least in the early part of a relationship.

Other than the stunning animation I couldn't really get into this 4th addition. The Forky storyline kind of felt weird and overdone, the SJW angle with Bo Peep was a bit cringe, toys acting too conspicuous around humans, couldn't get into the new characters, and yes it felt like a betrayal of Woody's loyalty through the first 3 films at the end. I felt like it missed an opportunity not addressing some real modern day social issues also in terms of the use of phones, computer games and social media among young people. Isn't this what kids spend most of their time with nowadays?

reply

Agreed!

I especially believe Buzz was out of character. Like, they made him unnecessarily stupid.

My toy story journey ended with part 3. I just pretend this one didnt happen!

reply

Yeah I agree the ending completely contradicted everything we know about Woody, this movie never should have been made. I'm not going to pretend like Toy Story 3 was great or anything but it at least respected what came before it. I have no idea what they were trying to do with this one.

Jesus Christ, why do tou even argue on this?! It IS totally out of character and came out of nowhere, deal with it.
