Pixar has proven they’re still on top of their game with early reviews of Toy Story 4 saying it’s one of their best sequels yet.
The film, which is set for release on June 20, comes 24 years after the first film and nine years since Toy Story 3.
Reviewers have spoken very highly of the film and pointed out how Keanu Reeves steals the show, which comes as little surprise but still makes me even more excited to see the film when it’s released.
TOY STORY 4: Only Pixar at the top of their game can make a third sequel to a franchise about living toys that’s a poignant look at learning to prioritize your own happiness over the happiness of others. Also: feels as definitively final as 3 did. Keanu Reeves steals it all.

#ToyStory4 is another fantastic entry in the series & the one installment that feels most like an adventure movie. With themes of hard goodbyes, second chances & finding your way home, it’s packed w/ big belly laughs, but I also cried harder here than I have for any of the others pic.twitter.com/MoFFY2pNqJ

#ToyStory4 has an ending as lovely and warm and heartbreaking as Toy Story 3. In between the genuine belly laughs (thanks, Duke Caboom) is a story that has the heart that Pixar is known for. Loved it.
