Overall disappointing
My twin and I have been huge toy story fans so going into this movie we were excited and hoping we could get back to the original series but it was NOTHING like the original series! We hated it

Worst Ending Ever
Who thought, "We should end it by woody staying in the carnival". The ending is complete and utter trash. I want Toy Story 5 to end this franchise correctly.

Its good, but the ending was unexpected...
Toy Story 4 is alright. (Spoilers!!) The dummies were a little scary but not too scary. The parts that were a disappointment were the jumpscares. SERIOUSLY?! Where did the jumpscares come from? And the fact that Woody decided to leave his friends including BUZZ, to stay with Bo peep is totally wrong. What happened to sticking together and all that sweet stuff from the other toy story movies? Does that not matter anymore? Other than that, the movie was good. I liked it when Ducky kept hitting Buzz's head with his foot. Also, the part when the sheep were disappointed in Woody because he couldn't remember their names. So... This movie is good. I recommend this to anyone 8+ and loves pixar movies. I'm gonna hope that a 5th one shows up though, and brings an end to the sad ending that happened. If there's going to be no 5th movie coming up then I'm going to stick with the great ending from toy story 3. Pixar you are still doing a good job, keep it up!

Sold out to Hollywood Violence
I loved the first Toy Story movies. The 4th is chock full of rude and abusive language. If you want your child to learn that blowing things up and fighting is the way to solve problems, then this is the movie for you. I am very disturbed that the level of entertainment has stooped to this level of hate. Sure they try to pull it out...still the action is overbearing and horrible.

Weird, depressing, no fun. Why would anyone watch this?
It was 75% toys being sad and lost. Almost no fun elements in between. What was redeeming, that kids will be ok without their toys? Maybe if you have a lot of nostalgia for the series this is good, but seeing this on its own is just bad. When it ended my 4 year old said "that was so strange" and was depressed.

Bad!!!
Forky was a stupid addition to the story. Even my five-year-old nephew thought that a talking fork was stupid. It seems like a money grab to me.

Disturbing.
It’s a disturbing animated horror movie spliced together with the characters we loved from the first two movies. I know kids content is disgustingly inappropriate these days, but it feels like the director of Saw wrote parts of the script. Like, why?? Why would you put this stuff in kids movies? I watched it with my husband to see if it was as bad as parents say..it’s bad. Gross in its blatant attempts to scare using disturbing imagery. It’s upsetting, because we loved these characters and they’ve been tainted by these last two movies. The magic and joy is gone, completely. And to top it off, they end it in a way that ruins the franchise as a whole. I’m shocked this is what they chose to do, and saddened that it got so dark. Enough kids are growing up sad and angry, and desensitized to disturbing imagery..avoid this if you care about your child’s mental health.

Terrible
This is close to a horror movie, and the plot was atrocious. There are many tense scenes involving scary dolls and puppets. I do not believe in shielding children from everything, but this movie crosses the line. It takes familiar and loved characters and ruins them.
In addition to the horrifying imagery, the plot goes against everything that was taught in other movies. The villain is given exactly what she wants, although she didn't have a character ark or even apologize for the evil acts she committed, and is even given a happy ending, teaching kids that stealing and hurting other people gets you what you want.
The plot is simply a series of odd subplots - like a suicidal spoon who keeps trying to throw himself away - without any real substance. The ending is sad, and not in a good or touching way. Nothing in this movie makes sense, and the decisions the characters make do not in any way reflect how they were in the other movies. On top of everything else, it ruins the touching and happy ending of the last movie when Andy gives the toys to Bonnie.
It is a disappointment and I highly recommend that you skip this one, and walk away happy with the ending from the last movie.

Disney/Pixar downward spiral
We wanted to love this movie. Initially, we saw the good in it. But after watching it, I felt pretty strongly that this was not a good movie for kids. I wish that I had previewed it before allowing my children to watch it. From now on, we will wait for disney movies to come out on DVD. We will not waste our money in the theater. I am VERY NERVOUS for Frozen 2, Live action Aladdin and Live action Lion King. We will also not be going to Disneyland this year like we were planning on. Too much propaganda aimed at our kids.
