    oh please no 😓😓😓

    this movie's execution was undercooked and lazy,

    but the characters (especially melody, if not, ONLY melody) deserves a 2nd chance,

    Disney should stop making remakes of good movies and start making remakes of bad ones,

    they are the ones who truly need it,

    no offense intended, but sometimes i think this movie is overhated,

    Here are some other terrible Disney movies you should have included on this list:

    -Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2

    -Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3: Viva La Fiesta

    -Night at the Museum:
    Kahmunrah Rises Again

    -The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild

    -Home Sweet Home Alone

    -Every other live action Disney cash grab remake ever made!😡👎

    I’m super glad Melody was all but forgotten! The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea was so bad, that even Disney wants to pretend it doesn’t exist!😡🧜🏻‍♀️👎🗑️ This explains why Melody isn’t featured at Disney Parks or rides or why she doesn’t appear in Little Mermaid or Disney merchandise like clothes, toys or Funko pops! Melody became The Little Mermaid’s very own Scrappy-Doo and whenever original Ariel appears in a new Disney Princess crossover special or other Disney specials, Ariel never at all mentions that she has a daughter! As to make it look like Melody never existed! IN YOUR FACE MELODY!!!!😝😝😝

    i'm suprised that Frozen 2, Ralph breaks the internet, and the Star wars Sequal Trilogy didn't make it on this list, considering how Frozen 2 was a bit of a step down from the original, Ralph breaks the internet felt like it went off the rails, and the Sequal trilogy gets a lot of flack thanks to the Last Jedi, witch i will admit could have bin a heck of a lot better, but the Rise of Skywalker was better.

    Cinderella 2 is a tire fire EXCEPT for the story of Anastasia and the baker. As much as I liked the third one, I'm still a little salty they scrapped that, because that was actually a cute little story.

    Next time, how about doing a list of the worst prequels made? That way you can add Tarzan 2, The Fox and the Hound 2, Ariel's Beginning, and Mufasa to the list. Maybe even Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas.

    Are u kidding me ?

    the entire point of Toy Story is that Toys have feelings & are sentient

    U think ending of Toy Story 3 was that Bonnie was gonna care of them just like Andy did , becoming New "Andy"

    but Good ending for Andy is not neccessarily one for toys

    Are the Toys gonna be stuck in endless cycle of being played , watch owners grow up & get donated to young kids?

    Jessie was a donated Toy at beginning of Toy Story 2

    Every film Till Toy Story 3 ends with going back to Andy

    Bonnie is 5 of course she's going to change interests.

    Losing someone close to you even if it's just by growing apart hurts And while it can help to make new friends it's not always that easy.

    This is carried over into Toy Story 3 which repeatedly explores the idea of replacement,

    On top of being the eventual resolution it's what drives Lotso to the dark side and it's what the Toys are attempting to various levels of success

    Not to mention that the film begins with many of the toys having already been donated which is treated as if they died which is how we get to the other dangling thread of Bo Peep being donated which is where Toy Story 4 picks up

    it shows that the toys are not fully defined by their owner

    His romantic feelings for Bo Peep are almost as strong as his parental ones for Andy

    And yes somewhere along the way the relationship went from friends to parent.

    I think it's just a byproduct of Andy growing up ,

    So there's a lot more talk about being there for him watching him grow up helping his development that kind of stuff

    But it's important to note because this movie (Toy Story 4) is essentially Woody's empty nest era

    For the first time , Bo Peep makes Andy consider a life outside of children

    …..

    At the end of the day Woody is the main character of this franchise and his journey doesn't end just cuz Andy leaves.

    He deserves a proper conclusion

    Despite it being cash grab , its Undeniable that it had a Story to tell

    : Nikhil Clayton ,Was Toy Story 4 "Necessary"?

    Truthfully, “Beauty & The Beast lll: Belle’s Magical World” & “Mulan ll” should switch spots since the animation in “Beauty & The Beast lll: Belle’s Magical World” is more bland. I’d personally bring “Cinderella ll: Dreams Come True” down to #5 & replace “The Little Mermaid ll: Return To The Sea” with “Aladdin 2: Return Of Jafar”.
