Following a screening of Toy Story 4 in the United States, the first reactions have been posted online.
While some fans were sceptical about the third sequel thanks to Toy Story 3 being arguably the perfect conclusion to the trilogy, those fears have likely been squashed by the initial verdicts.
"Toy Story 4 made me cry with laughter and then just straight-up cry," writes The Independent's Clarisse Loughrey of the film on Twitter.
"There’s something so warm and comforting about getting to return to these characters, but the film belongs equally to the new cast. Forky will birth a thousand memes, he is truly the most relatable toy of all."
Other critics and social media users were equally as positive about Toy Story 4. See a selection of the tweets below.
Toy Story 4 sees Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) and Jessie (Joan Cusack) face a crisis when their owner, Bonnie, returns home with a new creation, Forky – a Spork/pipe-cleaner creation who does not know the first thing about being a toy. While Bonnie's family are on a vacation, Forky becomes lost, prompting the rest of the toys to go rescue him.
Along the way, Woody and Bo Peep encounter Duke Caboom (Keanu Reeves), who introduces himself as "Canada's greatest stuntman" before launching into a series of complicated posing on his motorcycle.
Toy Story 4 reaches UK cinemas on the 21 June.
