Today I resumed watching Ice Age and I had the following comments on the movie thus far.
- the animation hasn't aged well, which is a nice way of saying it looks terrible relative to modern movies
- however, my eyes eventually adjust
- problem is eventually the story the focus and that's honestly not too great either
- Sid is annoying

Today I finished the movie. It ended okay. Manny had some memories but didn't hold a grudge against the baby. Maybe instead he sympathized with it. The resolution to Diego's betrayal was decent but I didn't like the whole part where he was injured and the movie made it seemed like he was going to die. I'm not sure what that was about, because he was able to catch up in the final scene anyways. I feel like the movie was good for just maybe ten minutes at a time. In bursts.
On a different note, the ending with Scrat was uninteresting. Maybe kids like it.

Toy Story 4 (2019)
20220205:
I watched this today and missed a part in the middle.
The end wasn't that sad. To be fair, my attention was split and that possibly broke the tension. Of course, I feel like there was also a lack of association with Bonnie. Furthermore, even though Woody is going to be separated from his friends, he gets to stay with Bo. So that's bittersweet, not sad. The delivery also wasn't so sad: Buzz almost makes it seem like Bo will be alright until he clarifies that Bonnie will be alright. In any case, I didn't even have a tear reach my eye, which often happens with many Pixar movies (in particular, for Toy Story 3).
During the movie I wondered if there would be a Toy Story 5 and the way this movie ended I suppose there could be. I don't think there could be a prequel to the entire story, as that would omit Buzz. I think any Toy Story movie would have to have both Buzz and Woody. There's a small chance a fifth movie could just be centered around Buzz, but I feel it would be easy enough for them to figure out a way for Woody to return.
Doing a quick google search, apparently there is currently no news of a Toy Story 5.
