Watch the Final Toy Story 4 Trailer!

This is not a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. 

I can’t even remember how long it’s been since I’ve been anticipating the arrival of “Toy Story 4”? I just know it’s been a long time coming. Personally, I have so many mixed feelings about this film. It feels like the end of an era and I just don’t know if I’m ready for that.Wasn’t it just yesterday that we were all introduced to Buzz, Woody, Jessie?  I literally can’t throw away any of my daughter’s toys since parts 2 & 3 came out.  I just don’t want the whole Toy Story series to be over and I’m going to be an emotional mess in the theater! With that being said, I absolutely adore “Sporky”! He’s the cutest addition to the cast and I can’t wait to see how his character plays out. Bo Peep, on the other hand, has me curious. She doesn’t seem like the nicest….I was excited to watch the “Toy Story 4” final trailer today. Have you watched it yet? Here it is:

“Toy Story 4” opens in U.S. theaters on June 21, 2019. Are you as excited to see it as I am?
