Movie Review: Toy Story 3
Toy Story 3 has reunited our favorite group of toys with laughter, tears and adventure. Andy’s grown up and the remaining toys stick together as they find their new home isn’t quite what they expected. With Andy on his way to college, the feel of the film is basically a long goodbye. The trailer alone sets the stage with Woody saying “…we all knew this day would come…” I was concerned. Worried the entire film would be a nostalgic cry-parade of goodbyes. It turned out it wasn’t. They skillfully balance the film, placing Woody and the gang in the worst environment imaginable for toys, daycare. Suddenly the film becomes a grand escape scenario from prison (aka daycare).
Toy Story 3 has many tear jerking moments, but from beginning to end, it’s a wonderful laugh riot for all ages and is a great farewell to the Toy story legacy. Toy Story 3 is a great reflection of Pixar’s maturity over the years. It’s clear the story tellers and writers at Pixar have grown-up alongside us. I give Toy Story 3 two thumbs way up!
