Toy Story of Terror!

My favourite Toy Story movie

A fun story, family friendly. A great mystery set in the Toy Story world. You will enjoy seeing your favorite characters having to solve a puzzling course of events. My kids love this during Halloween, and when we went out they always kept track of their toys. 🎃

Love it

Rated: 8.2/10 ⭐️

I expected a standard holiday spin-off, but the creepy atmosphere and emotional depth completely wrecked me.

What Worked:
MacLane’s heavy shadows and low-angle framing give the motel an eerie, claustrophobic weight. Through my Methodist faith lens, seeing Jessie push past her trauma to rescue her friends reminds me that true courage is serving others, even in the dark. Giacchino’s score also perfectly anchors the suspense with spooky motifs.

The Cuts:
The middle part really dragged for me; Mr. Pricklepants explaining horror tropes gets repetitive and stalls the tension. Keeping it spoiler-free, the antagonist’s motivation feels half-baked after such a massive buildup. Plus, cramming in so many characters meant Woody and Buzz got sidelined.

Verdict:
A spooky, heartfelt adventure that lets Jessie shine. Perfect for a cozy Halloween binge, but skip if you want genuine, terrifying scares.

Favorite Line: “Combat Carl never gives up. Combat Carl finds a way.”

Good mini movie

GOATED.
