Toy Story 4 (2019)
'Toy Story 3' was the perfect end, the best of the three and capable of inducing floods of tears and leaps of joy. So I don't think I'm the only one that greeted news of yet another one with a sigh and a little suspicion. So is it as good? No but it's 100 very pleasurable minutes of more of the same sort of thing. The best bit for me was the very last few frames, a joke about the technical arrangement of a silent-film-style Iris-transition but maybe that one was just for the film geeks.
Frozen II (2019)
I wasn't all that struck on the first one, so unlike some people, I didn't go in with sky-high expectations for the sequel and consequently wasn't disappointed... like some people have been. I did have a few accidental mini-naps in the middle, which could be why I didn't notice the shaky script that others have criticized, it all seemed to make sense in the end. The songs are lovely, the animation is magical and that snowman is still adorable. The bit where Elsa rides a horse made of water, on top of a tsunami was pretty epic. Overall, it's okay.
