A Toy Story #tbt In Honor of Toy Story 5 πŸ’›πŸ’™❤️

Today I'm popping in with a quick Throwback Thursday to Eliot and me hanging out with some of our favorite Toy Story friends in Andy’s room at the Funko Hollywood store.  It’s hard to believe that we have loved these characters for over 30 years now.  

I remember going to see Toy Story 3 in theaters with Eliot (back when we lived down in Massachusetts) and how I dressed up for the movie.  I left the theater with tear streaks down my face after bawling at the ending.  After that movie, I really thought that was the end we'd see of Woody and Buzz Lightyear on the big screen.

Then came Toy Story 4- much to my surprise.  It was emotional, but I admit that I didn't really like it that much.  I haven't committed that one to memory as much as the others.  And I wasn't a fan of the ending.  But I absolutely adored Forky.  In the years since that movie was released, I've found myself feeling kind of bitter about the ending, wanting better for my beloved toy friends.  (You can read my review of Toy Story 4 here.)  

Now we're here at the dawn of Toy Story 5.  I'm so excited that our friends are going to "get the gang back together" in this film.  I'm encouraged because I've heard good things about it so far.  I'm excited about the Taylor Swift song "I Knew It, I Knew You" and what it could potentially mean for Jessie.  And mostly I'm looking forward to seeing Woody & Buzz together again!  Hopefully Eliot and I won't wait too long to go see it!

Who else is excited to see our toy friends' new adventures in Toy Story 5?!?!?! πŸ’›πŸ’™❤️
