Can I say something corny and looking a bit too deeply into it?
The first ever Teaser Trailer we ever got for TS4 was the toys spinning in a circle like a family with clouds behind them, to the song 'Both Sides Now' by Joni Michell.
That song in full basically tells the entire plot of Toy Story 4, including the mention ferris wheels, feeling lost, and realising you know less than you thought. It encapsulates the themes the movie wishes and wanted to show you. When listening to it in full I could genuinely see the vision I think was intended. And it was beautiful and poignant until I remembered what characters they were using this story to tell.
It also talks about how clouds got in of the singers' perspective [a stand in for Woody] and seeing clearer. That paired with it being about the gang in the teaser, who Woody's been through enough to understand on a deeper level, especially after he chose going with them and seeing them happy over going to college with Andy, who clouds represent his wallpaper and childhood with Woody, seeing them as obstacles obscuring Woody's True purpose as a lost toy with someone who sees him as an accessory gives me a bitter taste.
And this cloud analogy is intentional! In the art of TS4 book there's a part where the clouds are meant to symbolise Woody being stuck in the past and needing to move on from his memories of Andy [despite him choosing his family of the toys over staying with him in college as mentioned prior]

TS4 makes it out that Woody is truly alone despite having a support system of friends who know him and his growth more than someone who knew him nearly a decade ago when he was still growing as a person.
TS4 ends with a look at the moon,
Clear now, but devoid of anything else but it's own solitude, no stars, nothing to accompany the moon or Woody, not really.
