Suicide Squad was a masterpiece. I watched this movie in theaters for the first time and I remembered how excited I was to see DC finally release a new world where they would introduce these new characters like Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and the Joker. I was even more happy when it was said that this movie's characters are in the same world as the Batman v. Superman’s universe.

Toy Story 4 is an amazing movie to end the hit franchise of Toy Story because Woody, Buzz, and every other toy move to another owner, Bonnie, who loves playing with them. Bonnie creates a new toy at school and calls him Forky. Her family goes on a road trip and Forky gets lost. Woody made it his mission to keep Forky safe, so he tried to save Forky but ended up getting lost as well. Throughout Woody’s adventure he searches for his true calling and finds it as the franchise ends and as he waves farewell.

There is no doubt that Toy Story 3 deserved to be the #1 animated film of the year 2010 and it did. This was my favorite Toy Story movie out of the whole 1-4 series. I loved every part about this movie because it had everything you could possibly want in an animated movie. The movie begins with Andy growing up and going to college. His toys get donated and now they must find a way to escape their new home, Sunnyside Daycare.

Toy Story 2 is an amazing movie that should be watched because in this excellent new sequel to the original Toy Story it entails more characters and a better storyline. Woody is kidnapped* by the chicken man from Al’s Toy Barn and is going to be sold to a museum with a few new characters. Buzz and a group of brave toys march along the road to save Woody but end up getting into problems of their own.

Toy Story is one of my favorite Disney + Pixar movies because it was made before I was born and because I used to watch this non-stop when I was a baby. In this magical world toys are alive and can talk. The main characters are Woody and Buzz Lightyear. Woody is a cowboy who gets played with a lot by his owner, Andy, but when a new space toy comes out this makes Woody jealous that he is not getting played with anymore. Woody does something terrible to Buzz and then the journey begins from the beginning of the movie to the end.

The Rise of Skywalker had a tremendous battle with an amazing storyline that made the best conclusion for the Skywalker Saga. For many fans of the Skywalker franchise, it may be sad that it ends with this movie but once you watch it, it will blow your breath away. This movie was the best ending Star Wars could ever do for the Skywalker Saga. I loved this because this played back to Luke Skywalker trying to save Darth Vader.
