Even fairy tale endings can be undone, when Pixar and / or Disney dusted-off Bonnie’s toys to give fans one more adventure?

Full Review: Coming Soon!
While the trilogy was perfectly wrapped-up, in my opinion, when Toy Story 3 left theaters in 2010, I suppose Pixar and / or Disney just wanted to give fans one more?
Perhaps, only because this sequel was unnecessary, it left this viewer thinking that this film was just a notch below the prior three. However, by the end of the film, I was all-in, though saddened by how this story arc left our favorite “toys” in a less than perfect fairy tale ending, leaving open the door for further adventures…
