Toy Story 4 might just be the biggest risk Pixar has ever taken. The formerly sequel-averse studio has expanded a number of its hits into franchises, but going beyond a trilogy — and with the series that started filmgoers' love affair with Pixar in the first place — has a lot of potential downside. Unless this long-gestating fourth installment can somehow bring back the old crew in a way that makes sense and is justified beyond all doubt, Toy Story 4 will be seen as a cash grab from a studio that made its sterling reputation by conditioning its audience to expect much more. No one wants Pixar to dip back into the well solely to make money off Woody's and Buzz Lightyear's iconic mugs. The Toy Story trilogy has defined many peoples' childhoods — and many adulthoods as well. Grown men wept in theaters because of Toy Story 3. No one wants that sort of cinematic magic to be retroactively undone by a corporate quest for bigger bucks.
《玩具總動員4》或許是皮克斯下過的最險的一步棋。過去不愿意拍續集的皮克斯已經為幾部熱門電影拍攝了續集,但是考慮到許多影迷就是看了《玩具總動員》三部曲才喜歡上皮克斯的,第四部很有可能會走下坡路。除非醞釀已久的第四部作品能以合理的方式帶回原班人馬并且打破所有質疑,否則《玩具總動員4》就會被視為皮克斯故意拉高觀眾期待值的搶錢之作了。如果只是為了再次靠伍迪和巴斯光年的馬克杯賺錢,那么大家都寧愿皮克斯不要拍續集?!锻婢呖倓訂T》三部曲成為了很多人的童年回憶——以及很多人的成年記憶。因為《玩具總動員3》,很多成年人在電影院里哭紅了鼻子。畢竟,沒人愿意看到這樣的電影魔力因為公司時隔數年后想再多賺點錢而被抹去。
