As a gamer who has grown up with the Toy Story saga, I can’t help but share Quentin Tarantino‘s sentiment to some extent. The original trilogy holds a special place in my heart, and I too believe they ended on a perfect note. I remember the day when Woody and Buzz said their final goodbyes, feeling like I was bidding farewell to old friends.
It’s clear that we can expect a lot from Toy Story 5, given the unprecedented success of its predecessors at the box office. There’s every indication that this new installment will be just as successful, even if some people believe the franchise has been running for too long. However, one dedicated Toy Story fan won’t be joining the crowd in the theater – Quentin Tarantino, who is a firm advocate of the first three movies and hasn’t watched Toy Story 4 because he considers the original trilogy to be flawless.
Quentin Tarantino, known for his diverse thoughts, surprisingly mentioned the Toy Story films during a conversation about movie trilogies. On Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, this acclaimed director expressed his admiration for these films, stating that he believes they concluded flawlessly at the third installment. Thus, despite enjoying the earlier movies, Tarantino has chosen not to watch the fourth film. In his own words…
Regarding Toy Story, the third installment was simply extraordinary; it ranks among the finest films I’ve ever watched. If you’ve seen the first two, the ending of the third one is heart-wrenching. However, three years later, they released a fourth film, and frankly, I have no interest in watching it. The story was wrapped up so beautifully that I feel satisfied with where it ended. It could still be good, but for me, the journey has concluded – I’m finished. I am done.
As a passionate gamer, I can totally relate to Quentin Tarantino’s sentiment. When they announced Toy Story 4, I found myself asking, “What fresh twist could they possibly bring that feels essential, given the poignant and conclusive ending of Andy’s toy saga?”
In a later perspective, Pixar and the creators of Toy Story 4 contended that the original Toy Story wasn’t primarily about Andy. Instead, they believed it was more about the toys, suggesting the storyline hadn’t fully resolved. Despite some criticizing Toy Story 4 as the weakest in the series, it garnered positive reviews and grossed over $1 billion worldwide, showing that while it might not have been essential, it was warmly received by audiences. Many would argue that even with its flaws, Toy Story 4 still surpasses numerous other films.
It’s plausible that Pixar anticipates a comparable reaction to Toy Story 5, and intriguingly, the fan response has mirrored this. Again, fans are questioning whether the studio has dipped into the Toy Story well one time too many, and if this film is truly necessary for audiences.
Despite any initial reservations some people might have, the movie is likely to be well-received given that Andrew Stanton, who wrote all previous films in the series, is directing it. With this pedigree, it’s reasonable to expect the new film will either be good or at least enjoyable for most Pixar and Toy Story fans. The majority of these enthusiasts are likely to watch the new movie, even if they’re currently complaining that it won’t contribute much to the franchise’s legacy. However, Quentin Tarantino appears to be an exception to this trend.
