Quentin Tarantino Refuses to Watch ‘Toy Story 4’

Quentin Tarantino has “no desire” to watch Toy Story 4.

The acclaimed director thought the previous three entries into Pixar’s animated series were excellent — but Tarantino is now “done” with the franchise and so won’t watch the fourth or upcoming fifth movies in the series.

During an appearance on the Club Random with Bill Maher podcast, Tarantino said: “I don’t watch all the animated movies and stuff, but I’m a big fan of the Toy Story trilogy.”

Tarantino loved the third movie in the money-spinning franchise, but he’s insisted that the series shouldn’t continue.

He shared: “The third one is just magnificent. It’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. And if you’ve seen the other two, it’s just devastating. But the thing is, then three years later or something they did a fourth, and I have no desire to see it. You literally ended the story as perfect as you could, so no, I don’t care if it’s good. I’m done.”

The Kill Bill filmmaker then compared the animated movies to Clint Eastwood’s spaghetti western pictures, which Tarantino argued was the only cinematic trilogy to work “to the Nth degree.”

He explained: “I think there’s only one trilogy that completely and utterly works to the Nth degree and that’s A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.”

The Django Unchained director added the trilogy worked as well as it did because each entry was able to build on its predecessor and wrap up the overall story effectively.

He said: “It does what no other trilogy has ever been quite able to do. The first movie is terrific, but the second movie is so great and takes the whole idea to such a bigger canvas that it obliterates the first one. And then the third one does the same thing to the second one, and that’s kind of what never happens. You’ll see this big jump from the first to the second and they don’t really land the third one.”
