The first part of "Toy Story" was published almost 25 years ago and immediately turned the animation industry. First on the screens were not cartoons, fully simulated on a computer. In this case, the graphics do not look lifeless. On the contrary, Pixar's managed to create a genuine, sincere and simple story, fall in love with the audience. Later, it grew into a franchise is important both for the studio and for ordinary lovers of good cinema.
Not surprisingly, before the release of the next continuation of the audience worried: what if something goes wrong? Nevertheless, every time Pixar has fulfilled and even ahead of the schedule: the second and third "Toy Story" was no less remarkable than the first.
Yet the decision to release the fourth part looks doubtful. What can be added, when like says it all?
But Pixar turned out.
brilliant creators

In any other case, one could say that an inexperienced director should not trust such an important franchise. But the fact that Pixar films are not the author. This team projects from extremely talented people in their field.
In this studio well aware of how to allocate resources to the product turned out and performed at a high artistic level, and that here to be honest, profitable.
thoughtful screenplay
The leitmotif of the franchise has been and remains the fear of changing the world - issues relevant to all age groups. In the first film a toy cowboy Woody feared that the astronaut Buzz Lightyear oust him from the sight of a loved one owner.
The next picture gradually developed the idea, how terrible to be unnecessary, and gradually approached the wilting topic central to the "Toy Story - 4".
New and according to Woody is voiced by Tom Hanks, the final film makes it clear that the toys belong to their owners as well as parents to children. Woody experiences similar to his father's feelings, in his declining years afraid to be unnecessary.
Cowboy in this part indeed reminiscent of an old man. Writers do not forget to drop a hint: the hero was made in the 50s. A significant part of the action takes place in an antique shop among antiques, obsolete his own.
The great thing about that, having thought the motivation for the main character, the creators did not forget about the secondary. Each character - no matter how small it may be - is in place.
charming characters
It's no secret that Pixar manages every year to create the most endearing characters. In the studio knows the classic animation laws and understand how to make the characters look and move so as to cause tenderness. Woody, Buzz, Jessie and the rest want to empathize: they look like living.

In at least three parts of the "Toy Story" - the second, third and fourth - antagonists are disclosed in detail. The viewer understand their actions. These villains can even sincerely sympathize. In addition, they adorable: a harmless old man funny, pink teddy bear and doll cute - so was every second girl.
Stunning graphics
Each new cartoon Pixar - this is another step forward. In the first "Toy Story" viewers showed believable characters of plastic. In "Monsters, Inc." - a realistic fur. The first "The Incredibles"Demonstrated the latest advances in the modeling of the human body," Finding Nemo "- a first-class job with light and water.
"Toy Story - 4" is no exception. Computer graphics, in particular work with lighting, has reached a new level. The light in the cartoon does not look simply spectacular and realistic. And in the final scene lighting accents so as to further emphasize the dramatic component of the film.
In general, the "Toy Story - 4" is not a continuation of the unnecessary, and the technical and conceptual breakthrough. But most importantly: cartoon talks about serious problems of Adult language suitable for children.
