A “sequel” that will blow away your worries

First, I must apologize. I didn't expect it to be such a masterpiece. My feelings as a troublesome fan who didn't want to accept a sequel were blown to pieces and I ascended to heaven. I understand now.

How did you feel when the production of Toy Story 4 was officially announced in 2014? To be honest, I didn't feel very positive. Because " Toy Story 3 " (10) was too perfect.

``Toy Story 3'' is a masterpiece among masterpieces and is the third animated film in history to be nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, following `` Beauty and the Beast and the Beast'' (1991) and ``Old Carl's Flying House'' (2009). . It is extremely rare for the third film in a series to be nominated for Best Picture. It still maintains a super high score of 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, America's largest movie review site. It was also selected as Quentin Tarantino's best movie of 2010.

Its appeal as content has not diminished at all, but will it become a stale story? Is there a need to continue with that perfect ending? Isn't it for entertainment purposes? These questions kept running through my mind, and I couldn't accept them honestly. When I heard that the nostalgic character Bo Peep was coming back, I thought, ``I see,'' but I didn't immediately want to watch it, and the series' creator, director John Lasseter, left the series due to a scandal. It fueled anxiety. Even though it was released worldwide and became a huge hit with a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a worldwide box office revenue of $667 million (according to Box Office Mojo, as of July 12th), you can't judge it until you see it with your own eyes. I thought not.

The Toy Story series is an epic saga that depicts the relationship between toys and their owners. Throughout the three works in the series, the audience has watched the owner's physical and mental growth and the toy's acceptance of reality. An eternal farewell came when the owner, Andy, went on to university. This series, which began with the novel premise of ``What if toys had hearts?'' transcended the realm of entertaining and entertaining works and became etched in the hearts of men and women of all ages as timeless masterpieces.

Woody and his toys are passed down from Andy to a young girl named Bonnie, and a new life begins. Toys break, but they never get old. I could continue the story from here on out, but it would be boring. Lasseter himself said that he "had no intention of doing a sequel" until he saw the ideas the storytellers brought to the film. However, there was still "a side to Toy Story" that needed to be told.
