During the conversation, Tarantino praised the original trilogy, stating, “I think there’s only one trilogy that completely and utterly works to the Nth degree and that’s A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.” He emphasized that similar to Sergio Leone’s iconic Western series, the original ‘Toy Story’ movies succeeded due to their consistent quality and satisfying narrative arc.
Tarantino remarked on the rarity of a film series maintaining quality throughout, highlighting the ‘Toy Story’ trilogy as a rare exception. “In the case of Toy Story, the third one is just magnificent,” Tarantino told Maher. He continued, “It’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. And if you’ve seen the other two, it’s just devastating. But the thing is, then three years later or something they did a fourth, and I have no desire to see it. You literally ended the story as perfect as you could, so no, I don’t care if it’s good. I’m done.”
