6. “Toy Story That Time Forgot”, “Toy Story Toons”, and other shorts/specials
They’re always great, but the various Pixar shorts and half-hour TV specials from the Toy Story franchise are largely interchangeable and never quite as satisfying as the movies. These are good for occasional play but ultimately remain at the bottom of the toy box.
5. “Toy Story 4”
The fourth movie in a franchise like this doesn’t have any business being as solidly entertaining as this one does, but the addition of dynamic new characters (Tony Hale’s Forky, Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele’s sublime Ducky and Bunny) and a tear-jerking send-off to Woody elevates a saggy middle and a creeping case of hijinks fatigue.
4. “Forky Asks a Question”
These Disney+ shorts are so good and so brief, never overstaying their welcome, that a second season must happen or there will be hell to pay.
