Who could have imagined that each of these films not only could withstand the test of time as a franchise (remember, 11 years passed between Toy Story 2 and 3), but each as stand-alone films.Įach film ALWAYS had something different to offer. What one thought might have been a “one-film franchise,” over 5 years turned into two films, then three and now the fourth. It was there we were introduced to a boy and the adventures of his toys that came to life. It’s hard to believe that the first “Toy Story” was introduced to families over 24 years ago. Does he return to Bonnie or begin his life anew as Bo Peep suggests? These questions and much more are addressed in “Toy Story 4.” Bo, you see, spent her life with a new owner only to be discarded and has since lived her life as a “lost toy.” Woody, of course, pursues Forky, along the way running into an old friend… Bo Peep. Still, Forky’s not convinced and, during an RV road trip, make his escape. Woody, on the other hand, works as hard as he can to try and convince Forky of his purpose in being there for Bonnie. Forky is convinced that he belongs in the trash, that he isn’t a toy. No, seriously, she MAKES or creates a friend named “Forky,” made of items in the trash (a spork, string, silly putty and broken popsicle sticks). In a turn of events, while Bonnie is in Kindergarten, she makes a friend to help her calm her fears. What does he have to live for if not to make a child happy? What is his purpose if not to be played with? These toys weren’t so lucky.Īs Bonnie begins to play with all the other toys, except Woody, Woody begins to ponder whether he his a purpose anymore. Toys such as RC and his former romantic interest Bo Beep (whom, once her owner, Andy’s sister Molly, decided she was too old for Bo Peep, decided to donate her to, well, who knows where). Still, as time passes, Woody can’t help but reflect on the toys who have been left behind, though he, himself, was lucky enough to find another owner. Then, when it was time for Andy to graduate and pass his toys onto another, Woody and his pals were introduced to their new owner, a young, adorable Kindergartener named Bonnie. First, they spent some wonderful years with their first owner Andy. This is a message that Woody and his pals have lived for faithfully over the many decades. There is no greater calling for a toy than to be a companion for a child.
