Frozen 2: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Toy Story 4 → Frozen 2. Toy Story 4 is lumped with Frozen 2 and Rise of Skywalker as films that threw out the entire screenplay and started over.
    “Toy Story 4 falls into this weird thing of like Frozen 2 and Rise of Skywalker”
    Blank Check — Patreon · The Fifth Annual Blank Check Awards with Joe Reid (Ad-Free) · 0:47:39 · Griffin Newman (0.50 sure it was them)

Frozen II: 1 line verdict ×1

  1. verdict (verdict): Frozen II → Toy Story 4. Frozen 2 makes no sense and does not deserve recognition just for being popular, whereas Toy Story 4 is among the year's best.
    “Toy Story 4 is legitimately one of the best movies of the year.”
    The Big Picture · The Snubs and Surprises of the 92nd Academy Award Nominations | The Oscars Show · 0:26:17 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)

Josh Cooley: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (industry): Josh Cooley → Toy Story 4. Cooley did a very good job, but with so many hands on it a director nomination is hard.
    “there were so many hands at different points on that movie to give him a director nomination.”

Keegan-Michael Key: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (same dynamic): Keegan-Michael Key → Toy Story 4. Toy Story 4 gives Key and Peele the same high-strung idea man / good-natured stoner dynamic as Wendell and Wild.
    “Toy Story 4 gives them basically the exact same dynamic where the one guy's the motor mouth”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · Wendell & Wild · 1:21:20 · David Sims (0.50 sure it was them)

Stephanie Folsom: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (industry): Stephanie Folsom → Toy Story 4. Final credit is Folsom and Stanton; earlier drafts from other writers over many failed attempts were 'insulting and disastrous'.
    “The final credit is Stephanie Folsom and Andrew Stanton.”

Us: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Us → Toy Story 4. Tie for existential carnival-based film of the year.
