| Storyline | What made the original Toy Story so great, besides its significant achievement as the first-ever feature-length computer animated film, was its ability to instantly transport viewers into a magical world where it seemed completely plausible that toys were living, thinking beings who sprang to life the minute they were alone and wanted nothing more than to be loved and played with by their children. Toy Story 3 absolutely succeeds in the very same thing--adults and children alike, whether theyve seen the original film or not, find themselves immediately immersed in a world in which Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), Jessie (Joan Cusack), Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head (Don Rickles and Estelle Harris), Ham (John Ratzenberger), Rex (Wallace Shawn), the aliens, and the rest of Andys toys remain completely devoted to Andy (John Morris) even as hes getting ready to pack up and leave for college. Woody scoffs at the other toys worries that theyll end up in the garbage, assuring them that theyve earned a spot of honor in the attic, but when the toys are mistakenly donated to Sunnyside Daycare, Woody is the only toy whose devotion to Andy outweighs the promise of getting played with each and every day. Woody sets off toward home alone while the other toys settle in for some daycare fun, but things dont turn out quite as expected at the daycare thanks to the scheming, strawberry-scented old-timer bear Lots-o-Huggin (Ned Beatty). Eventually, Woody rejoins his friends and they all attempt a daring escape from the daycare, which could destroy them all. The pacing of the film is impeccable at this point, although the sense of peril may prove almost too intense for a few young viewers. Pixars 3-D computer animation is top-notch as always and the voice talent in this film is tremendous, but in the end, its Pixars uncanny ability to combine drama, action, and humor in a way that irresistibly draws viewers into the world of the film that makes Toy Story 3 such great family entertainment.

Impecable producción en todos sentidos... sin embargo, es una versión menos blanca y más cargada de dramatismo. Una cinta más para adultos que para niños.
Toy Story 3 is clever, inventive and deeply moving, a fabulous film which can be enjoyed by all ages -- and you can't say that about many movies.
Yes, Toy Story 3 is a dandy addition to landmark series, and, frankly, the timing of its release couldn't be better. A perfect antidote to the news of the "real world", this worthy entertainment will also certainly boost what has been a sagging box office
It's been a long time since a recent movie has made me think.How can they, really? Mainstream movies have become all about marketingploys with characters designed to adorn a Taco Bell cup, and rehashingof ideas and franchises we've already seen from the last few decades.We're stuck with movies that cost no less than $12 on a good day, andare using 3D as a means to keep us in the theaters and away from ourhome theaters. Is it little wonder why people have grown cynical?Doesn't a "Part 3" mean that we're just getting more of the same, evenwith a pedigree as strong as Pixar's? No. It doesn't. And that's wheresomething very different sets in.The most jarring realization is that Toy Story 3 is set in real-time.It's not the animated character that remains ageless. Andy has grown upwith us, and like us, has become an adult as well. He's even voiced byhis (also grown) original voice actor, and it puts it even more intoperspective.But toys don't age. Sure, Woody, Buzz and the gang have a few paintscuffs here and there, but they remain true to themselves. But timeshave changed. Andy's toy room is paired down to the surviving"favorites" who made the cut past the garage sales or getting lost orbroken. Some old friends are gone and briefly twinge sadly upon thecharacter's memories when the names are said, but there's somethingmore. All they want is to be played with and simply feel their humanfriend's touch after years of neglect.If Toy Story 3 sounds like a depressing film, it isn't. There are somewonderful characters. The old toys are still as vibrant and funny asever, the new toys (such as a fabulously metrosexual Ken doll and acreepy cymbal monkey) are hilarious new additions to the cast, and asbitter as a stuffed bear can be for an enemy, there's a real level ofsympathy for what made him the way he is.And that's the thing about Toy Story 3. It's a love story. And a comingof age story. And a story about the fears of losing someone, or beingrejected or abandoned, and the need to be useful and loved by someone.And it's a story about friends sticking together, because in thisworld, that's all they have.The beginning aspect of the story is standard for Toy Story 3 is afamiliar "The toys get separated from Andy and must find their wayhome" story, but it's the journey there that's different, and of allthe characters, Woody has matured the most.Gone is the spoiled, jealous "favorite" who retains a conscience, andlater loses sight of his priorities and duties to be there for Andy.He's older, and wiser. He understands that he not only has to be therefor his human friend, but his toy friends as well.Buzz is no different. From delusional hero to realizing what he is,becoming comfortable with that, and providing his unwavering support,Buzz shows a new side as well. He's certainly funny, and hits his primein this film, but he's content in what he is, and finally loosens up.From potatoes to piggy banks to dinosaurs and restaurant squeak toys,the gang has seen a lot together, and in the final act, in easily theirworst predicament yet, it struck me how "real" they had become. LikeAndy, these toys were friends that I grew up with over the last 15years. It's a powerful testament to Pixar that these little toys haddreams and deep emotions, and unwavering loyalty. Of course, you knownothing bad is going to happen to them, but the sincerity of one sharedmoment in the garbage dump was an amazing testament to a very puremoment of love and loyalty, and proving that how you live your life isjust as important as how you prepare for your end. A day later, I stillfind myself pondering the implications of what I've taken from thisfilm.Again, this film is not a "downer" movie by any means. The ending isearned and well-deserved. Like the rest of the film, it's bittersweetand very "real", and I found myself simultaneously smiling and chokingup with its resolution, and a yearning for my own stuffed and plasticfriends long gone.Pixar has again broken the mold with a brand of storytelling that canreach out to children and the child still in adults. Other films couldlearn a lot about Pixar's philosophy, animated or otherwise, and tell astory that comes from the heart, and not designed to promote a websiteor soda.It doesn't get much better than this. Especially these days.
I just got back from a midnight showing and knew I must write myreview, so here it is ladies, gentlemen and children of all ages...Toy Story 3 has brought together all of our favorite characters onceagain in the last installment of the childhood film most of us havegrown up on. While the 3-D effects are better than what I have seen inprevious 3D movies this year, there was something a lot different aboutthis film than the other.It was dark, and lacked its 'gift' that Pixar always used to bring tous, which is the feeling of being a child again and smiling as weremember those days then when sometimes we wondered if our toys reallydid come alive. There are a few scenes (actually half the movie) isdark and definitely scary for a 4 year old. The humor is dry and I onlylaughed outloud 3 times, though everyone else was cracking up becauseof some drunk in the front row who constantly screamed.I felt something was missing a well. Buzz Lightyear. No, he was in themovie. But he really did not make a "Last"ing impression on me andwished there was more to see. Also, same with the alien guys, "Theclaaaaaaaw!" The ending was good though, aside from some scary bits andhighly disturbing images for small children, it rounded off nicely andfinally lightened up much like a depressed person taking a prozac. Ialso kept wondering whatever happened to Sid, the demonic kid down thestreet...In all honestly, I don't think this film deserves the super high ratingit has gotten because it lacks the spark its previous two films had. Igive it a 7/10. It was decent, but not the best out of the 3. Thatwould have to go to the original Toy Story.
So I saw Toy Story 3 tonight at an early screening here in Houston, TX.A little background info about me. I am a big, no HUGE, Pixar fan, I'vewatched every film that they have created dozens of times. Let mebegin, this is definitely no Ratatouille, Wall-E, or Up. Pixar isdefinitely coming back to it's family roots and Toy Store 3 isextremely evident of that. Don't get me wrong, Pixar has completelyoutdone themselves once again offering a film that is extremelyentertaining, thrilling, and fresh, but it is kind of disappointingthat the film doesn't reach any true depth until the POWERFUL last act.I'm going to divide my review into several sections.Writing: The humor was straight up HILARIOUS. There were several scenesthat had the audience ROTFL'ing, even I, as crude and bitter I may bewhen it comes to comedy, was laughing out loud at a few parts. Howeversome jokes do fall flat into Dreamworks territory with potty humor(lincoln logs anyone?) which I hope does not become a recurrence, butoverall the film had some wonderful writing and dialogue creating atruly believable setting and tone.Animation: It's truly a shame that some of the later scenes in thefinal act haven't been shown in the commercials because, DAMN, thedetail is truly remarkable. Since this is a no spoiler review I won'tmove further into that but let me tell you now, you will be impressed.Humans are beginning to look more realistic with ton's of attention tomovement and the toys have benefited from some spackle in the facialdepartment in an attempt to create a more emotionally expressivecharacter. While it didn't blow me away like Finding Nemo and Wall-Edid when they released, the work done here by Pixar is truly solid andway above anything Dreamworks has brought to the table. The 3D is alsodecent, I'm not really buying into this whole fad because after a fewminutes you don't notice the effect. The added depth is nice but youhonestly won't be missing much if you watch it in a good qualitycineplex.Sound: The theater I went to had a pretty weak sound system so I can'treally comment on the effects but when it comes to voice talent, theactors truly shine. It was sad to see some characters go like Bo Beepand Squeaky but some of the new additions like Lotso and Ken, played byNed Beatty and Michael Keaton, are some true standouts thanks to theexcellent dialogue provided by the script. All the original charactersonce again do their job quite well and with the excellent editing andmixing, the dynamics of social interaction between the characters areexpressed clearly.Depth/Theme: You know I was going here and I HAD to talk about it.Ratatouille had the whole analysis of segregation with "Everyone cancook", Wall-E brought environmentalism, consumerism, capitalism, andmost importantly love to the table, while Up directly deals with deathand the emotions that stem from it. Toy Story 3 repeats the abandonmentand moving on angle from Toy Story 2 which is TRULY the film's weakestlink. Not because the movie copies the second films moral, but becauseTS3 virtually ignored these themes until the last act which I willadmit was quite compelling. It would have been nice to spread theseserious moments throughout the film to create a balanced equilibriumbut unfortunately this does not happen. However I do want to talk aboutthis pivotal juncture in the final act, there was a moment in the moviethat only last a minute or two, but felt very, very, very real. I can'tstress this enough, I have never felt anything like this from a movie.The first time I cried in a move was with Up's "Ellie" sequence but forsome reason I didn't do it here. My emotions went beyond crying, Idon't know if it was the swirling bright ember colors contrasting withthe stark images or the expressiveness of the toys in that very moment,but I sat there in disbelief and was affected in a way that has notexisted before.Overall: I really do wish that Lee Unkrich could have spread the last15 minutes throughout the movie but that didn't happen which is why Icould not give this movie a 10, however, that last act SAVED thismotion picture from being another run of the mill Dreamworks film.Aside from some of the lame toilet humor and disappointing directionchoices, Toy Story 3 is a very solid conclusion to one of the besttrilogies of all time that needs to experienced solely for the lastbeautifully gratifying act with the gang that I grew up with.
I have watched the Toy Story movies my whole life. The first one was myultimate favorite when i was a kid, and nothing ever spoiled it, noteven the extra 15 years of life. When i heard this movie was coming outi didn't get too excited because of the trilogies curse, but when iheard all the great reviews of it being the best trilogy in history, ihad to watch it (even though i still wanted to watch it anyway).The point of this movie is based on how Andy has gotten older and howthe toys have to deal with that change. Change is not something easy todeal with, and the fantastic human imagery portrayed in the charactersmade it that much more real. No one actually thinks about the toys whenthey give them away or throw them out, and in this we see how they areaffected, according to how we think they are at least. The adventurefor this is much more mature, and more sinister than most pixar films.The end was a very impactive scene when the toys were headed for theincinerator. I genuinely thought they would go in because it would havebeen an interesting end to their adventure, but since it's pixar i knewit wouldn't happen. But how they all joined hands and braced themselvesto go out as a family really hit home for me. However, the actual endwas beyond fantastic, and the perfect way to end a trilogy. This isliterally the only trilogy that i fully love, film for film.
Again, I don't mean to sound like a broken record but it seems likeDisney/Pixar is the only competent movie company that produces greatfilms and classic stories. They know how to write, shoot and tell astory well. Toy Story is Pixar's baby, at the time of the first film'srelease and was the start of what we have today with computeranimation. Now the first Toy Story was good, the second Toy Story wasgreat and Toy Story 3 was absolutely fantastic. The stories just getbetter and better as they keep coming. Bringing back our favoritecharacters but adding a fun new little twist to them, it brought a newaudience in and kept the one's who saw the first one and gave ussomething new to enjoy. Pixar's last films like Ratatouille, Wall-E andUp kept raising the bar higher and higher, not only are they Disney'sgreat films, but they're also some of the strongest and best films ofall time. Toy Story 3 can now be added as this is my favorite of thetrilogy, bringing in some great new characters and magic to the story,I couldn't stop laughing and crying with this movie. I thought this wasa perfect ending to the trilogy as it gets to all the adults when wehad to grow up and give up our childhood toys.Now seventeen years old, Andy has outgrown his old toys and ispreparing to move to college. He decides to take Woody with him andpacks the other toys in a garbage bag, intending to store them in theattic, but Andy's mom mistakenly puts the bag on the curb. Believingthat Andy no longer wants them, the toys sneak into a box to be donatedto Sunnyside Daycare. As the only toy who saw what really happened,Woody tries to clear up the misunderstanding, but the other toys refuseto believe him and they are all driven to Sunnyside. Woody tries toconvince the others to return to Andy, but they decide they are happierat Sunnyside, so he leaves without them. The others soon discover thatLotso had placed them in a room of toddlers, whose young andrambunctious nature causes them to abuse and torture the innocent toys.Woody learns that Sunnyside is a toy prison. Realizing their error, thetoys try to leave but are imprisoned by Lotso, the head bear of thetoys and his henchmen. Woody must return to Sunnyside to help hisfriends break out.One of the things I absolutely loved about this film was that it isdarker than other family animated movies, I felt like this one had tobe as it's really sad that Andy has to say good bye to his toys. But Iwas telling my friends the other day how it's sad because a lot ofanimated films while they're good, our films that we grew up withalways had a dark touch like Who Framed Roger Rabbit or The Lion King,along with others long before those films. I thought maybe thisgeneration was just a bit wussy when it came to having a little bit ofa scary story. But Toy Story 3 has some genuinely chilling moments, thegroup of evil henchmen toys turn Buzz evil and it is actually kind ofcreepy the way they come at him. I loved when they put our group oftoys in the bins and had a little tribute to some great prison movies,something for the adults to enjoy. I also saw a little Puss in Bootswhen the group gets a hold of Buzz and resets him by accident turninghim into Spanish Buzz Lightyear, I couldn't stop laughing at hisactions and lines. Incredible animation, great story along with astrong cast, this was a terrific film that I was so glad to see. Idon't like to over hype a movie because you'll have a certain hope forit, but I went in with high hopes and not only got what I wanted, butmuch more. I can't wait for this movie to be added to my DVDcollection. It's a new classic that I'm sure you'll absolutely love.10/10
An obvious split between the accomplished progression of the first two movies and the inferior last installment is the departure of the enormously talented writer Peter Docter from the franchise.
Toy Story 3. Stunningly animated. Clever. Funny. Technicallyinnovative....DARK.... I was indeed shocked by how dark this movie was.And it is probably being marketed to little kids which would beshameful since this movie left me feeling tired and down instead of theusual exhilarated experience I have with Pixar films. It is not alittle children's movie. No kid under 10 (maybe 8) should see it unlessthey have already been jaded by watching stuff too mature for them. Itseems as if the producers were aiming their script at the audience thatsaw Toy Story 1 when it first came out 12 years ago in theaters.Because it is too perverse for today's children. It is a brilliantlyedited and filmed technical achievement which has a lot of laughs, butthere is an undercurrent of tragedy, hurt, and despair that runsthrough the lifeblood of this picture. It is unnecessarily cruel withsome of its back-stories and comeuppances. The very ending and endcredits are delightful and touching, but they feel like cool watersprinkled on ashes that have burned way too long. Too late... The thing that made the first and especially the second movie so greatwas the insights into Child/Toy relationships. That made for a touchingand beautiful experience amid the fun action. This movie offers no newlight on that, but brings the Toy Story trilogy to a fine close at theend. But what an ordeal to get there. I feel Pixar was trying to outdoitself with the effects and action. They could have closed the trilogyoff much more simply. Here's where I feel they went too far: 1. Characters who were too perverse. A big baby doll who acts as abruiser. Would have been great if they gave baby a tough guy voice.That would have been funny. The baby voice made the whole character tooperverse. Also the Monkey doll at the security booth was drawn way toocreepy. Sid from Toy Story 1 was a great villain. Dark, but not toomuch. Just right. They wanted to make Sunnyside a bad place and theydid it too well.2. Way too much action, and done with a sense of despair. Having thetoys in this movie all clasping their hands resigned to being melted ina trash incinerator did not leave me on the edge of my seat. It made medepressed. Lotso breaking the heart necklace, again, much too cruel.3. Why not redeem Lotso? That would have been logical and would haveeliminated the scene in the incinerator. Lotso didn't need to have hiscomeuppance. Toy Story 3 taken on its own terms is a very well made movie and hasmoments of brilliance, but it is no way a little kids movie and it is ashock when compared to the charm of the first 2. Though still keepingit's high standard for quality, Pixar really let me down on this one.
Toy Story was my all-time favorite movie when it first came out, and Im 22 now and it still is to this day, it still blows my mind that they made a 3rd one!! Toy Story 3 was such an incredibly awesome movie (no doubts that it would be any different), and I lit up like I was a kid again when Woody (my favorite character) first walked on the screen. TS3 is an amazing and perfect ending to an unbelievably awesome franchise, and I cannot wait to own it! Itll be my first ever Blu-Ray purchase, and who could ask for a better first!
Hard to believe a movie about toys made me feel emotional but that's the strength of the story this movie has! And I haven't felt that way for a long time when I've seen a new film. I may have felt sad or felt an connection to a character before but I've never actually cried (except in Titanic but that's because it was a bad movie, not because it was emotional). Most of the main cast returns except for the late Jim Varney (Slinky) and Joe Ranft (Lenny and Wheezy). While Wheezy, Bo Peep, RC and most of the other toys are gone, Blake Clark takes over as the voice of Slinky, which works just fine for me. If I hadn't known about Varney's death, I never would've caught the difference. New actors include Ned Beatty, Michael Keaton, Timothy Dalton, Whoopi Goldberg and Bonnie Hunt. The animation is brilliant, consistent with the two other films. The story is actually well put together, as I mentioned. The toys (what ones are left), having had the benefit of two films to be developed, are a close-knit family who don't want to be thrown away now that Andy is on his way to college. The toys wind up at a daycare where they are practically torn up. I won't go into too many details but the film has a "Great Escape" feel and near the climax is where I started to get teary eyed. One of the few films to be a "3" and still be consistent in the story and development of what previous films had. A far better "3" movie than Spider-Man, Batman (Forever), Superman, Shrek, Star Trek, Pirates of the Carribean (I can't think of anymore). Go see it, its a perfect end to a good trilogy.
The ending is the best scene in the best movie of the year, a deeply moving smiling-through-tears moment that I won't soon forget.
When making sequels one always has to make the conscious choice to keepthe story going on in the same time line as the film or not. In thiscase the decision was made to have the film and its characters age atthe same speed as the real world - and that makes for some effects.Andy is now ready to go to University and has left his toys untouchedfor many years. Now that he's about to leave his parental home thequestion arises what to do with the toys. Will it be the safety of theattic, or the trash-can or some other fate? To me this film was tiltedjust a bit towards the audience of the first film and no longer reallytowards the kids in the audience. My own kid loved the film anyway -even though he had some questions about some of the things thathappened and I found the film a little too gloomy. Life isn't perfect,but that doesn't have to be displayed so openly in a children's filmIMO.When it comes to animation this one does what it is supposed to do.It's great to watch all the characters and their surroundings movealong and the color scheme is very pleasurable. The story runs OK, butas said before it's a bit too gloomy to my taste.7 out of 10 snakes in boots
Dark story of Andy going to college and the toys in danger of beingthrown out or given away.I won't go into the details of the plot because odds are you alreadyknow it. Basically all thats left is for me to take a stand on thesmall side of people who don't like the film. Beautifully animated withseveral nice set pieces, the film emotionally and character wise didn'twork for me. The film, for what ever reason just seems terribly wrong.Its not the dark tone of the film that bothers me, except perhaps thatthe people at Pixar seem intent on making this black and bittersweet. Iknow part of th problem is that several of the characters, especiallyWoody, seem to have been shipped in from another film. How did Woodyend up so psycho? I don't know.I don't see the point of ripping the film apart since odds are you'regoing to love this. Personally I think this is probably Pixars biggestmistake, but then again thats just my opinion.
The wait is over, and after 10 years of wait Toy Story 3 has finallycome out. This movie was somewhat special to me as even at the age of20, I have grown up with Woody, Buzz and the gang and was just as, ifnot even more excited for this installment.Being an avid movie lover, I have seen plenty of films over the past 20years. Having an older brother helped with all the classics we haveseen to this day, but Toy Story was one that was brought out for mygeneration. Out of the hundreds, maybe even thousand of movies I haveseen, the Toy Story series would be right up there in my top 5 anddidn't want this one to let the series down. This was NO way a let downas I never thought it would but is the best of the 3.From start to finish, this movie will keep you entertained andinstantly a must watch again as the way I rate a 'good' movie is oneyou can watch over and over without getting bored.As I watched one of the later showings at the cinema, my thought wasthat 'it will be OK, I'm sure many people will not be excited,' and boyI was wrong. The screen was packed full of adults and the queue was thelongest I have seen at the cinema for a long time.One big thing I have to say is that this is NOT just a kids movie. Fromwatching previous Toy Stories you think that you are a little bit tooold for the gags, but this was not true as this screen, packed out bypeople mainly 18+ was as loud as any. In this film there were plenty of'laugh out loud' moments, bringing in plenty of old gags into new andslipping them in tremendously, bringing you back to when we wereyounger when we were pointing and laughing whilst watching the firsttwo in the cinemas.This movie does not get stale in any part and keeps you at the edge ofyour seat with like the first two 'a great escape' feel to it whichwill keep you at the edge of your seat regardless of your age. Like anyother, Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and the crew, even though only voicing it,still know how to make the movie as good as it is and paired with therecharacters you can just feel the relationship between the two doing agreat job behind the scenes.Not only will this movie leave you excited or screaming with laughterbut you have to remember that this is an ending to the Toy Story seriesand never have I left a movie so close to tears and I am not scared toadmit it.Like any pixar the story just sticks together and no matter how weirdor wacky the story is, it works like a charm. How do you get a bunch oftoys that come alive whenever they want, being mistakenly taken away orlost, to fight there way back home to there owner..............3 timesand make each one an instant classic. The people at pixar are plain andsimple geniuses who add something that no other movies do. There is notone bad pixar film out there and it shows who's the leader of the packas Toy Story was the first sequel pixar had done, they had to doanother one.To the sad part, not many films have excitement, laughter and tears allin one movie, but Toy Story plays with your emotions more than any. Themost heart breaking thing is that this is an end of an era, even thoughJohn Lasseter and Lee Unkrich have announced they would like to keepthe characters alive (whether its a fourth or just putting them in forcameos) the importance of these characters are shown in the director,producer and writers reactions and how they do not want to forget anyof the bright and funfilled toys. This was a great way to end this filmseries and wow they have executed it brilliantly. I truly believe thisis a tear jerker so I think you should bring some tissues, as Toy Storyis going out with a complete BANG!! This movie brings childhood to backto you and makes you remember when you were younger and how you use tobe. This is a MUST SEE by single person out there as you will NOT bedisappointed. I have not left a cinema with a massive smile on my facein a long time and this was the film to do it.This is truly and end of an era and am sad to see Toy story come to anend, but what a way to go out.
It's come to a pretty awful pass with regard to Hollywood movies these days, when the most sharply humorous, creative and character-driven escapade is an animated feature about children's toys . . . and the latest (and most probably final chapter) of three. Disney-Pixar just owns the family-friendly movie franchise by sheer force of creativity. (Well, and that practically every other studio of note seems to have abandoned the family movie-watching demographic anyway. Even if they hadn't, Disney-Pixar would still stand head and shoulders above the competition.)If Toy Story One explored sibling rivalry and Two wove a story of family loyalties - Three explores the bittersweet question of what happens when a child grows up and puts away childish things. What happens then, to those loyal toys of long standing when their owner Andy heads off to college? Is a box in the attic the best that can be hoped for - or as one character observes, "Let's see what we're going for on E-Bay." Through the machinations of the plot, all the toys but Woody - Buzz, the Potatoheads, Jessie, Ham, Barbie and the rest - wind up being donated to a day-care center. What could be a better situation, they all think happily; to be played with constantly by children? They make new friends among the toys there; the cuddly purple stuffed bear, Lotso, for one, and Barbie - who knew she was a strict Constitutionalist? - meets Ken, whom we always suspected was just an accessory. And Buzz Lightyear reveals his inner Lothario, too. But all is not well inside the walls of the day-care center, and suffice to say that the cuddly purple bear is not at all genial - or well-disposed to Andy's old toys. (It must be a specialty of the Disney-Pixar house to have initially bluff, hearty, friendly characters metamorphose into menacing and manipulative ones.) It becomes imperative that the toys escape, and thereby hangs the rest of the exciting and ultimately poignant story.
This review is from: Toy Story 3 (Four-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy) (Blu-ray) i loved so much the graphics the idea is so origenal and creative , from my point of view i think that every member of the family will love it
This is another home run for Pixar. A perfect conclusion to a perfect movie trilogy.
If ever there was a film that exceeds all expectations it's Pixar's TOYSTORY 3, a movie with the familiar cast headed by TOM HANKS and TIMALLEN as Woody and Buzz Lightyear, respectively, featuring the furtheradventures of the toy gang everyone fell in love with after the firstsmash hit.The toys are accidentally abandoned when Andy's mom is helping him packfor college. They end up dumped unceremoniously at a daycare center forkids whom the toys think will appreciate and play with them just asAndy did--with tender, loving care. As they discover on their first day in the playroom, these kids are anightmare with toys. Woody resolves to return to his owner's atticwhile the others stay behind until they must plan their great escape.What happens next is unpredictable from start to finish, the onlycertainty being that there will be a happy ending--which gives thestory a final tug on the heartstrings with a poignant and tenderconclusion.This is animation that is beyond clever, as imaginative as a film ofthis kind can get, masterfully staged and brilliantly animated. It'salso a bit scary at times since all of the characters almost meet theirfinal destiny a number of times, long before the story is over, thanksto a villainous plush toy bear called Lotso, wonderfully voiced by NedBeatty, hug-gable on the surface but a scoundrel at the core.Since all the technical stuff is beyond reproach, there's no reason whyTOY STORY 3 shouldn't please fans of the first two in this series andeven exceed expectations with a story of depth, compassion and humorthat gets better as it goes along.Highly recommended.
