Did this unnecessary sequel damage the entire franchise forever?
Seems the magic that’s always been associated with the original 3 Toy story movies is gone since this film’s release.
The logical reason for this is Toy Story 3 was the perfect wrap up for close to a decade and people were prepared to re-live the adventure in total, almost perpetually. Any new audience will inevitably watch Toy Story 4 and fall off the journey without the desire to experience it again which really has kept Toy Story alive until this point.
Toy Story 4 may not be such a bad film but in context it appears to have de-railed the Toy Story universe and sent it over a cliff.
