America's National Parks (2015)
Disappointing
The Grand Canyon episode was pretty good.
The one on the Smokies was dumb. Not enough about the beauty of the scenery and things to do & see... too much about one family of bears. Told us about how they relocated Manitoban elk to the park,
then used this transplanted elk as an example that "you can come home again." Odd. The worst part was describing fish laying eggs as "an orgy" ... weird and ridiculous.
Toy Story 4 (2019)
Visually stunning, but ultimately disappointing.
For most of the film, it was everything I've come to expect from a Pixar movie. It was fun, creative, and funny. The animation was spectacular. They've come a long way since the first film.
The ending, however, was a complete disappointment. For one thing, it flew in the face of what we had come to know about Woody from all four films. It wasn't consistent with the character. But more important than that, the message/lesson was that it's ok to be selfish. Woody had built his life and reputation around loving and serving others, and he threw all that away.
