Quentin Tarantino has given a record of definitely not wanting to watch the fourth part of the “Toy Story” saga, “A Toy Story”. Alone because he considers the first three parts of the Pixar films to be perfect. The director in the “Club Random” podcast with Bill Maher said.
Tarantino, who has never shot a trilogy – with “Kill Bill, Vol.i” and “Kill Bill, Vol. II” only two consecutive films, which he describes today as “one big film” – but can imagine the difficulty to complete a trilogy satisfactorily.
And he also loves the “Toy Story” films-the first three.
“I don’t watch all the cartoon films. But I’m a big fan of the Toy story trilogy,” he said in a clip that has now been viral on X (formerly known as Twitter). “I think there is only a trilogy that works completely and to the n-ten degree. And these are ‘a handful of dollars’, ‘For a few dollars more’ and ‘The Good, The Bad and the Ugly’.” So no “Star Wars” and “Lord of the Rings”.
Sergio Leone’s “dollar” trilogy is the measure of all things for the 51-year-old director. The Italian film series with Clint Eastwood in the leading role, which founded the genre of the Spaghetti western, was successful. “Because she followed in all three films of the vision of a single director” by the filmmaker Sergio Leone.
“She creates what no other trilogy has ever achieved,” said Tarantino in the podcast. “The first film is great. But the second film is so great and brings the whole idea to such a big screen that it puts the first in the shade. And then the third film does the same with the second. It somehow never happens. You can see this big leap from the first film. And the third does not really arrive.”
This development, according to Tarantino, was not the “Mad Max” series, for example, the third part, “beyond the thunder dome”.
And he also loves the “Toy Story” films. The first three. Like the “Dollars” trilogy, according to Tarantino, the Disney sign trick series is also able to accomplish this feat. And for this reason, he has no interest in looking beyond the first part.
“I don’t care if it is good. I’m done”
“In the case of ‘Toy Story’ the third part is just great,” he explained Podcaster Maher. He said he never saw the films. “It is one of the best films I have ever seen. And if you have seen the other two, it’s just stunning. But the thing is that they did a fourth or so fourth three years later. And I don’t feel like seeing it. They literally ended the story as perfectly as you could. So no, I don’t care whether it is good.” I’m done. “
Then Quentin Tarantio could probably not matter that “Toy Story 5” is currently under development. At this year’s “D23 Expo” Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that Andrew Stanton (the director of the original film) will reorganize again. The film’s cinema, which is about what happens when children are obsessed by technology, is planned for June 19, 2026. Incidentally, part four, “A Toy Story”, had received significantly worse meetings than the first three. Tarantino could feel confirmed here that some work is simply superfluous.
