Every Pixar Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

13. Toy Story 4

Many Toy Story fans - this one included - groaned when Pixar announced a fourth film. Toy Story 3 concluded the series in such concrete and pitch-perfect fashion that a sequel felt like a massive mistake - a cynical commercial ploy bereft of creative "necessity."

And while the fact remains that Toy Story 4 absolutely didn't need to exist and doesn't reach the highs of its three predecessors, it is nevertheless a worthy sequel that offers up an affecting epilogue to Woody's (Tom Hanks) story.

Though the plot divisively unpicks Toy Story 3's neat ending, it's ultimately worth it for a tale that deepens Woody's characterisation in meaningful ways, namely by having him reconnect with a now-kickass Bo Peep (Annie Potts).

The supporting cast also includes a bevy of fantastic new characters, namely Forky (Tony Hale), Gabby Gabby (Christina Hendricks), and Duke Caboom (Keanu Reeves).

As much as we said that Pixar would be foolish to make a fourth film, fans will probably be a lot less charitable if Pixar announces Toy Story 5 within the next few years.
