Any fears that the further Disneyfication of Pixar would result in the diminution of the latter's foundational franchise are put to rest at once inan entirely wonderful continuation of the series that 24 years ago launched a new era in the annals of animation. It's been nearly a decade sinceput a satisfying capper on what seemed likely to remain a trilogy, but the same level of wit, imagination and, yes, magic has been summoned to create yet another fully worthy sibling.
After its incredible early run, Pixar began showing some chinks in its armor in the early-to-mid-2010s with some sub-par sequels and a couple of less-than-stellar one-shotsIncreased pressure from Disney, real or imagined, to keep the hits coming at a stepped-up rate was seen to foster a certain creative slippage.
But even the lowliest, dirtiest and most ignoble doll or toy would be insulted by what, at her school orientation day, little Bonnie publicly embraces as her new best friend and companion — a plastic fork , one with lopsided eyes, a waxy mouth and pipe-cleaner arms. In other words, it's a piece of trash and, better yet, it knows it; “I'm a fork!,” it insists, adding that it doesn't even comprehend what a toy is.
Before school proper begins, however, Bonnie is taken by her parents on a road trip to a pristine old Western town called Grand Basin, where a big carnival is underway. There's also a large second-hand store stuffed with loads of yesteryear items, including a long-neglected talking string-pull doll named Gabby Gabby and four extremely creepy Howdy Doody lookalikes.world, second-hand also implies the possibility of a second chance , which is exactly where the new film really takes off.
