 Welcome to Hot Takes, a completely unoriginal show here on YouTube where I rank films from worst to best and viewers either fully agree with me or throw a fit in the comments. It's a terrible trend. Let's get started with Toy Story. There it is. Instant rage from the viewer. Nothing screams, you've got a friend in me. Quite like watching our childhood favorites almost burned to death in an incinerator. It's still a great time at the movies as long as you don't mind crying yourself to sleep at night. Ken alone makes this one worth the watch. This one asked the question I never even thought to ask. Do toys come alive when you're not around? Apparently, yes. They also have the same emotions and power struggles we do. Woody isn't content on letting some cheap imitation spaceman knock him down from his top spot. Not without a fight at least. This was a great looking film when it came out. When it came out. People are still guilty of underestimating Pixar, but they've struck lightning now four times with the Toy Story franchise. My money continues to be well spent watching Woody find himself in the later stages of his shelf life. Bringing back the lamest character from early films and giving her a walking dead Carol makeover was a smart play too. The bottom line? Pixar still has it. When assembling these ranked lists, which have definitely never been done before, people often put Toy Story 2 at the top. So I'm going to do that too. I remember being far too bothered by Buzz playing a video game that has the exact same graphics as the real world the toys inhabit. Outside of that little hang-up, everything else in this flick is cash. That's a phrase I'm using now. We get a great backstory for Woody, a dramatic introduction to Cowgirl Jesse, and some more wonderful music by Randy Newman. Well there you have it, my hot take on the Toy Story franchise so far. I suppose I could have gone for broke and added in some of those TV shorts they did as well. Let's be honest with this show's four. The subscribes and the likes. So thanks for watching. Make sure to subscribe. And I'll see you next time.
