To Infinity and Beyond?
Toy Story 4 is set to finally arrive in cinemas later this month and continues the story of some of our favourite Pixar characters as Woody and the gang are now enjoying life with new owner Bonnie, who they came to at the end of Toy Story 3.
The new adventure sees Woody reunited with old love Bo Beep as they set out to rescue Bonnie's favourite new toy, Forky.
With three beloved and critically-acclaimed entries in the Toy Story series already under Pixar's belt, fans are eagerly anticipating the new instalment to see if it lives up to the previous films.
So what are the critics saying in their earliest reactions?
Toy Story 4 first reactions
I think it is safe to say, that it is universal acclaim for the latest Toy Story film.
Rob Keyes of Screenrant tweeted: "Toy Story 4 is super satisfying, and features some of the funniest and most emotional moments in the franchise. It leans into new characters quite a bit and will surprise you by the end. And yes, there are some great moments during the credits (none at end though)"
Erik Davis of Fandango tweeted: #ToyStory4 is another fantastic entry in the series & the one installment that feels most like an adventure movie. With themes of hard goodbyes, second chances & finding your way home, it’s packed w/ big belly laughs, but I also cried harder here than I have for any of the others
James Viscardi of CBS Interactive wrote on Twitter: "#ToyStory4 goes to infinity and beyond. It tugs at the heartstrings right from the get go and doesn’t stop. The new characters fit right in and all your old favorites get time to shine."
Rachel Paige tweeted: "For those worried about #ToyStory4, don’t be! The movie is magic and delightful. It will also wreck your emotions just as much as the other three, so that’s something to look forward to!"
Finally, Zach Johnson tweeted: "Just saw #ToyStory4...and it's my favorite in the franchise. You'll laugh as much as you'll cry. You'll feel like a kid one minute and an adult the next. Can't wait to take my friends to see it."
Well, it's safe to say we should be excited!
