I personally don’t like the movie already... I hope the actual movie changes my opinion, because I love Toy Story, but the trailer is giving me some mixed emotions here.

I think the concept of Forky is great and interesting. I’m definitely curious about it. The movie looks really cool visually, but that’s to be expected from Pixar. Everyone says the other kid in the trailer is Andy, but I don’t think it is. Toy Story 3 is new enough to use the same rendering engine, and Andy looked very different there. Also, he had clouds on his wall. Not stars.

Okay... what I didn’t like. There isn’t much to dislike yet, because the trailer doesn’t reveal much (thank GOD), but there is one thing that annoys me. Bo Peep. Right off the bat, when her design was released, I didn’t like it. For one, girls wearing pants is NOT a statement, so PLEASE stop acting like it is, Disney! It just felt like Disney was pandering — again — and that’s not representation... it’s just annoying. Second, I was wondering if she was wearing pants because she had to fight, but I didn’t like that idea either. I feel like it would only be there for pandering to feminists. I would like it if she was given away before the events of 3 to a little girl who was into Star Wars or something. I feel like that would be more impactful in a different way. But obviously, this trailer debunks that. I also really like the message of “girls can still like feminine things and fight if they want to”, and I was afraid Bo Peep wasn’t going to go in that direction. Now that the trailer is out, we know that she’s fighting, which has been said and done before, and let’s be real, it’s probably just to pander to feminists and SJWs. The other issue is what Bo Peep says in the trailer. She says stuff like “you’re trying to please one kid, but there are a bunch of kids here”. Sound familiar? Yeah, it should. It’s basically just Toy Story 3, AGAIN. And that’s what I really hate! Because it’s just repetitive, and for Bo Peep to be the victim of an annoying plot like that... this movie doesn’t need to exist. And judging by Disney’s history, their unnecessary sequels are usually bad.

I’m still watching it though. Just because I think it will be bad, doesn’t mean I don’t want to see what happens.
