Toy Story 4 Review: 8 Ups & 2 Downs

4. The Hilarious, Witty Script

Though the Toy Story series has never quite managed to match the firecracker wit of the original movie, where almost every line of dialogue was solid gold, this fourth film nevertheless nails the series' signature balance of heart-rending emotion and uproarious hilarity.

There's one particular recurring gag in the film involving Ducky (Keegan-Michael Key) and Bunny (Jordan Peele) that ranks as one of the series' funniest to date, while the script generally keeps the sharply observant one-liners coming thick and fast.

If you were worried that Toy Story 4's well-noted production issues, such as a change in screenwriters mid-development, would hamper the end product, that thankfully isn't the case at all.
