2. It Delivers Another Incredibly Satisfying Ending

No spoilers here, of course, but if you were worried that a fourth Toy Story movie might struggle to arrive at an ending even remotely as satisfying as the third, fear not.

One of this film's biggest strengths is that it doesn't try to one-up Toy Story 3's almost unbearably beautiful ending, and instead expands upon it in a way that's meaningful and stays true to all the central characters.

To that end, you probably won't be left quite the inconsolable, sobbing wreck you were at the end of the previous film, but there will be most certainly be tears regardless.

That it manages to give these characters a satisfying send-off (again) without simply recycling or invalidating what came before is not simply impressive - it's practically miraculous.
