This is the best possible fourth installment in a series, and after the very first Toy Story, which was wildly innovative when it was released. The toys now all belong to Bonnie, whose playtime rituals that don't always include Woody. Secondarily, the song is officially aimed at a new character, Forky, a plastic spork with popsicle-stick feet and pipe cleaner arms, created by Bonnie with material supplied by Woody during orientation day at kindergarten. Typical of the series, inanimate objects don't merely have personalities but existential crises, and this is no exception. There is a missing toy that has to be found and rescued, there are barriers to being successful in the quest, and some hilarious sequences where toys intervene in the human world momentarily. The thing that is new is the world beyond being a toy for a child, but to have a life beyond their role in a child’s life. It is refreshing, thought provoking, laugh out loud fun. Spoiler alert--Bo Peep is the star of the show.
