Not really, the originals were made 20 years ago when nobody gave a shit about this stuff. They were never gonna make Woody or Buzz retroactively black like JK Rowling tried to do with Hermione, that's just stupid. So they added black characters which is perfectly reasonable. And the dumbass who wrote the article complains because the toys themselves aren't black, just their voice actors.

And if Woody suddenly turned black they would complain about blackface instead.

Honestly its been rumored Woody was named after Woody Strode who an African American actor who played cowboys. So i wouldnt be opposed to it

If we're going to assign a race to toys, I'd argue that Mr. and Mrs. Potato head are black? He is basically Steve Harvey?

PC culture had a decent run in the 90s. About 6 years if I remember correctly. Hopefully were nearing the end of this wave of PC culture. Its about time we start looking at these over sensitive jackasses as the idiots they are.

Only reason these critics get any traction is from people like you spreading their posts to cry about "UGH PC CULTURE!". They are literally writing garbage opinion pieces like this to incite a reaction and you guys can't help but always take the bait

The reviews for Toy Story 4 are in, and at least one critic finds the movie "disablist" and lacking in diversity.

Pixar Studios released Toy Story 4 on Friday the first franchise to get as many entries in the company's history. Fans have been dying for the latest adventure from Woody, Buzz Lightyear and friends, but critic Stella Duffy did not enjoy it. In an interview on the BBC's Radio 4 Saturday ReviewShow this weekend, she condemned the movie for having "no black lead characters."

"Seriously, its 2019! What on Earth are Disney doing having a film that has no leads that are black characters?" Duffy said, according to a report by The Daily Mail. "Yes, there are black actors, but they are yellow and they are green and they are plush! How can they possibly think that its alright now?"

Duffy may have been referring to Kegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, the beloved comedy duo who joined the movie to play Ducky and Bunny, two carnival prize toys.

In her review, Duffy also called the movie "disablist" several times, although she did not elaborate on the point much, perhaps to avoid spoilers. The criticism refers to media that is prejudiced against differently abled people, although these days many prefer the term "ableist."

Another problem Duffy pointed out was the movies representation of women, decrying Bo Peep's storyline as "white feminism." She argued that the doll's arc represented surface level feminist representation without a real empowering message for young viewers.

"Shes still going to fall in love, shes still going to have the happily ever after, thats not feminism! Its a woman who kicks off her skirt to reveal that the PS5 looks great," Duffy said.

Duffy received a lot of backlash to her review, which is unsurprising considering Toy Story 4's massive success this weekend. The move made over $135 million in ticket sales, and will likely continue to dominate in the coming weeks.

"What does this mean," one fan wrote on Twitter. "Are you saying it's anti-feminist to fall in love?"

"Omg get over yourself, they are toys!" sniped another.

"OMG stop being offended by everything," a third person tweeted.

With the critiques of Duffy and a few others aside, reviews for Toy Story 4 have been generally favorable. The movie has a 98 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes with a 95 percent rating among audience members. So far, few are ranking it above previous entries in the Toy Story franchise, but it seems to meet the expectations most fans have set for Pixar.
