Everyone is back in New York and while Spider-Man is resting near Madison Square Garden, a news alert starts on the big screens. It plays a video message Mysterio left before he died saying “Spider-Man is attacking for some reason”, “He has already weaponized some Stark technology”, and “He’s saying he’s going to be the new Iron Man. No one else!”. We then see heavily doctored footage from a moment earlier in the film where Edith warns of significant casualties from a drone attack. In which Peter responds “I don’t care, execute! Execute them all!”. It is then revealed that J. Jonah Jameson (played by J.K. Simmons from the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy) from the Daily Bugle is the source of the clips. The broadcast then switches back to Quinton Beck who reveals Spider-man to be Peter Parker.

After a brief conversation, Talos calls non-other than Nick Fury who first appears to be on a beach, but is revealed to actually be on a spaceship with other Skrulls. Talos urges Fury to return to Earth because everyone is asking where the Avengers are and he doesn’t know how to respond.

Woody (voice of Tom Hanks) has always been confident about his place in the world, and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. So when Bonnie’s beloved new craft-project-turned-toy, Forky (voice of Tony Hale), declares himself as “trash” and not a toy, Woody takes it upon himself to show Forky why he should embrace being a toy. But when Bonnie takes the whole gang on her family’s road trip excursion, Woody ends up on an unexpected detour that includes a reunion with his long-lost friend Bo Peep (voice of Annie Potts). After years of being on her own, Bo’s adventurous spirit and life on the road belie her delicate porcelain exterior. As Woody and Bo realize they’re worlds apart when it comes to life as a toy, they soon come to find that’s the least of their worries.

Woody, Bo, Duke Caboom, Ducky and Bunny help kids win prizes at carnival.
After the kids win all the prizes, Ducky and Bunny say what they would do to the Axel the Carnie. They show an imaginary attack sequence where Bunny and Ducky grow to tremendous size and chase after the teenager running the game, blasting him with lasers from their eyes. Then Bo says “Why not get more toys tomorrow for the kids to win?”
Bonnie returns from her first day of 1st grade and tosses her bag into her room. Jessie emerges and reports that Bonnie had a great time at school, and actually made a friend. Jessie introduces a new toy made from a plastic knife, much to the joy of Forky. Forky said that he will explain everything on how to be a toy.

When the Pixar logo appears, instead of the jumping lamp, Duke Caboom comes out on his motorcycle and jumps on (and flattens) the letter “I”. And he finally gives a high-five to the action doll who was left hanging earlier in the movie.

What did you think of this film?
Terrier Max (Patton Oswalt) is coping with some major life changes. His owner (Ellie Kemper) is now married and has a toddler, Liam. Max is so worried about protecting the boy that he develops a nervous tic. On a family trip to a farm, Max and mutt Duke (Eric Stonestreet) encounter canine-intolerant cows, hostile foxes and a terrifying turkey, all of which only elevates Max’s anxiety. Luckily, Max gets some guidance from veteran farm dog Rooster (Harrison Ford, making his animated-film debut), who pushes Max to ditch his neuroses, find his inner alpha, and give Liam a little more freedom.

Meanwhile, while her owner is away, plucky Pomeranian Gidget (Jenny Slate) tries to rescue Max’s favorite toy from a cat-packed apartment with a little help from her feline friend, Chloe (Lake Bell), who has discovered the joys of catnip.

And crazy-but-cute bunny Snowball (Kevin Hart) gets delusions of grandeur that he’s an actual superhero after his owner Molly starts dressing him in superhero pajamas. But when Daisy (Tiffany Haddish), a fearless Shih Tzu, shows up to ask for Snowball’s help on a dangerous mission, he’ll have to summon the courage to become the hero he’s only been pretending to be.

Can Max, Snowball, Gidget and the rest of the gang find the inner courage to face their biggest fears?

What did you think of this film?
This is the story of one of the X-Men’s most beloved characters, Jean Grey, as she evolves into the iconic DARK PHOENIX. During a life-threatening rescue mission in space, Jean is hit by a cosmic force that transforms her into one of the most powerful mutants of all. Wrestling with this increasingly unstable power as well as her own personal demons, Jean spirals out of control, tearing the X-Men family apart and threatening to destroy the very fabric of our planet. The film is the most intense and emotional X-Men movie ever made. It is the culmination of 20 years of X-Men movies, as the family of mutants that we’ve come to know and love must face their most devastating enemy yet — one of their own.
