How the ToyStory4 villain twist keeps the franchise fresh
While every film needs an antagonist, not every film is able to claim having a truly great one. Thefranchise, which now spans nearly a full quarter-century, is at its strongest when the core ensemble of toys who originated in the bedroom of a little boy named Andy serve as both protagonist and antagonist. They’ve had to fend off the clutches of a destructive neighbor and two cruelly selfish toys, but they’re both heroes and villains of their own stories.
It’s on this road trip that Sheriff Woody is presented with a more direct representation of his existential crisis. What, he has to wonder, is the purpose of his being a toy if he has an owner who doesn’t really care that he exists? This question becomes more potent when Woody encounters his old friend and true love Bo Peep .
