Toy Story 3 was a wonderful film, serving as a more satisfying for this iconic Pixar series.

The three Toy Story toons shorts (And the Toy Story That Time Forgot and Toy Story of Terror! Specials as well) served as an amusing addition to that emotional finale, showing the adventures of Woody and the other toys in their new home.

Partysaurus Rex was a cute mini addition to the series, giving the spotlight to one of the most adorable Toy Story characters in a charming vignette.

A shame Toy Story 4 had to ruin the perfection of that ending. I mean, it wasn't a bad film, but it was nowhere as good as the third part. In addition to that, the writers has put themselves in a corner by removing Woody from the main cast at the end. And it also gave a rather unconvincing characterization to Bonnie, turning her from a very likeable character into an unlikeable one.

I honestly don't know what to expect from the announced fifth part. I really hope the original cast isn't replaced, but nowadays Disney seems to be keen to doing the worse creative decisions in the name of outrage marketing.

I can understand why they still want to milk this franchise, but I personally think is time to give it a rest, at least for a while. Small short spinoffs are fine, however.
