Quentin Tarantino reveals the one movie he refuses to ever watch and explains why

Quentin Tarantino reveals the one movie he refuses to ever watch and explains why

Tarantino's comments come despite the movie having a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score

Quentin Tarantino has revealed the unexpected movie he refuses to watch, and many movie fans have agreed with his opinion.

Tarantino is the brains behind cult classics like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, and many of his movies are filled with blood and gore.

With this in mind, many might be surprised that he has a soft spot for a well-loved animated series.

The franchise in question? No other than the iconic Toy Story.

In fact, while Tarantino admitted that he generally doesn't have a lot of time for animated movies, he has labeled Toy Story 3 as 'magnificent' and 'one of the best movies [he's] ever seen' - quite the statement for a moviemaker of his caliber.

But what's the movie he refuses to watch, I hear you ask? The answer to that is Toy Story 4.

Arguably this doesn't make sense since Tarantino enjoyed the first three movies so much - the third in particular - but people actually understand his reasoning.

Speaking about the franchise on Bill Maher's Club Random podcast, the director said: "I don’t watch all the animated movies and stuff, but I’m a big fan of the Toy Story trilogy."

He continued: "In the case of Toy Story, the third one is just magnificent. It’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. And if you’ve seen the other two, it’s just devastating."

For any Pixar fans out there, you'll know Andy donates his Woody, Buzz and the rest of the crew to Bonnie.

Watching Andy drive away, Woody says his famous catchphrase: "So long, partner."

And it's Tarantino's love of Toy Story 3 that's stopped him from watching Toy Story 4.

"The thing is, then three years later or something they did a fourth, and I have no desire to see it," he said. "You literally ended the story as perfectly as you could, so no, I don’t care if it’s good. I’m done."

Toy Story 4 boasts 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes - just one percent lower than Toy Story 3's almost-perfect score.

While the fourth instalment of the franchise is hugely popular, many film fans understood where Tarantino was coming from.

Someone wrote on Twitter: "I completely agree!!!! Sometimes it is better to leave it on a high note than churning out more movies just for profits."

Another person agreed: "I didn't mind Toy Story 4, but we didn't need it. And we certainly don't need a 5."

Noting the end of of Toy Story 3, someone else said: "I agree 100%. Andy driving off is the ending."

Who is going to break it to Tarantino that Toy Story 5 is currently in the works?
