10 Upcoming Movies That Have Already Ignored Massive Mistakes

4. Not Ending A Franchise At The Top - Toy Story 4

The Lesson: Die Hard The prospect of watching more Toy Story is an irresistible draw for even the most cynical of Pixar fans: it is one of the most enduring franchises of the modern age, and a triumph of the story-telling medium. It mashed strong characterisation, plotting and spectacle with a genius conceit in an unprecedented way, and the character arch was brilliantly executed and utterly spell-binding. That's sort of the point though: the trilogy was a perfect story in itself. It went through the stages of grief - denial, acceptance and moving on - in a wonderful way, and it seems unlikely that a fourth story won't over-stretch the issue. In the same way that the fourth and fifth Die Hard films feel like betrayals of the core elements of the original trilogy, it's worrying that the same might happen with Toy Story, no matter how good the intentions, because of how well sewn up it was. At least there's no dead-eyed Bruce Willis involved though.
