Toy Story That Time Forgot (2014)

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

A Masterpiece!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It's always fun to see "the old gang" get back together. The Toy Story characters have so endeared themselves to our hearts that there is an automatic connection with them every time they appear on screen. In "Toy Story That Time Forgot", some new blood is introduced.For a basic plot summary, this little short tells the story of a Christmas playdate at a friend of Bonnie's. While at the friend's house, Bonnie is sucked into playing a new video game instead of playing with the toys. So, Woody, Buzz, and the gang must "go it alone" and interact with a new set of dinosaur toys (led by Reptillus Maximus) that still don't yet know they are toys.Like I said, it's great to see and hear from the toy characters again. In this installment, dinosaur Trixie gets a lions share of the screen-time, much like Combat Carl stole "Toy Story of Terror". That being said, each of your favorite character has at least a line or two.The only reason I can't give this the full five-stars? Because I think that maybe a bit more time was given to the battle dinosaurs than necessary. What makes Toy Story great is the emotion and the humorous interaction between the characters. Both of those things are indeed present here, but there is a lot of "setup" to pull it out of the story.So, I have to say that I liked last year's Halloween special a bit more than this Christmas effort. That being said, this one is still quite enjoyable and will, at times, have you both laughing and feeling in equal measure.

I'm not really a fan of these Toy Story shorts and feel that things had been so nicely wrapped up in the third feature film that everything else runs the risk of damaging the franchise.However, Toy Story of terror was enjoyable enough so i gave this Christmas themed short a go.What's lovely about these shorts is that it is clear that all involved care about the characters and the stories that they are put into, so it doesn't feel shoddy or a cheap cash in.Having the original voices back also makes a great difference and although it is a short and sweet story, it's certainly a worthy addition to what has gone before.

This Toy Story short has been released for Christmas but has a less of a Christmas theme but has some message about using your imagination and playing less video games even if those games might be Disney or Pixar tie ins!Bonnie is going out to play with her friends Mason at his house and she takes some of the toys along.Mason has got a new toy set called Battlesaurs but is more interested in his video games which he invites Bonnie to join in.Meanwhile, Woody, Buzz and the gang find out that the Battlesaurs do not want to play with them but are out to destroy them.This is a fun, enjoyable short which fans of Toy Story would enjoy.

I'm a huge fan of the Toy Story trilogy as well as all the short films including last year's Toy Story of Terror so of course I was excited to see what was in store in the latest installment. Sadly 'That Time Forgot' is definitely one to forget...I was expecting to see a Christmas theme with just the toys having fun but throughout the 22 minutes I think we only see the main gang for 3-5 minutes...It is basically all about Trixie and some new toys who aren't all that interesting and neither is the storyline.As usual the voice cast are all great and the animation is beautiful but it just lacked that usual Toy Story charm. I wasn't very entertained or engrossed by the story. It was OK but certainly nothing special so overall I'm quite disappointed.6/10.
