	Wesley Lovell (WL): I’m intrigued, though the slow degradation of the Pixar brand gives me a bit of trepidation. Peter J. Patrick (PP): This Toy Story prequel doesn’t do anything for me. Thomas LaTourette (TL): I doubt it will be as good as the Toy Story films, but it should be a fun Pixar piece even if it not exemplary.
