Road trip! Further exploration of specific toys no longer being the most important to kids - 4th time in a row, would've liked it to be more daring. Some great gags; the Barbies are expert gymnasts, the porcupine feels that he is being miscast, Bo Peeps' sheep express fondness similar to dogs(and she's still great with Woody), one of the three Combat Carls just so badly wants a high five and no one will give him one, the toys still have the efficiency of a military unit and Duke kaboom is a complete joy.
I'm very relieved that by this point they were ready to acknowledge that kids being creative with their toys are not serial killers in the making. Honestly, the existential dread of forky is deeply effective. He was made from trash and he wants to return to it. Honestly, same. Of course, if we apply the slavery allegory that works so well on these, then it's quite horrifying.
It delivers everything we expect from Pixar Animation: it breaks your heart, it's exciting, cute, funny, has important lessons to impart upon impressionable youth, great use of color, shadow, immensely high quality of animation - hair looks great, eyes have a lot of humanity, every living thing moves just right. 7/10.
