toy story 3.



I can't begin to tell you about all the different stages of emotion I went through while watching this movie. All I can tell you is "wow". The trailer definitely didn't mention the movie was going to be THAT epic. I just assumed it was just another Toy Story movie. Not that saying they're mundane or anything, but they weren't as adventuresome as the 3rd one.

It was very well done, and I never found myself getting bored at all. Not like you can expect a Pixar movie to bore you. I found it a little sad that not ALL the characters where there. The important ones were, but you still can't help but miss Bo Peep, RC, Lenny, and all the others. Also, the fact that Andy was going away to college made the movie very emotional and you're always wondering where the toys are going to end up in the end.

***SPOILERS***

One thing I can't help but bring up. I think it's a little retarded how all the toys assume one thing, and when Woody tries to tell them their wrong they get mad at him and tell him he doesn't know what he's talking about, and at the end they're like, "WOW! Woody was right!" You'd think after all the times they've done that they'd finally realize that maybe Woody DOES know what he's talking about. I just found that a little annoying.

Oh and Lotso Bear...as much as I want him in real life, he's a jerk and very predictable if I may add. Oh and the big baby...creepy! It definitely had a horror flick feel to it at some parts when he was around, it was pretty cool. The other new toys weren't as great in my opinion. Except for bookworm. He was pretty cute, but also in only 2-3 scenes.

The movie overall was amazing. It was a great wrap up to the Toy Story series, very emotional because I wish they could keep going on, but I know it's for the best that they ended it. Andy saying goodbye to all his toys including Woody made it very hard too. It's just toys, and just a movie, but it's like when your favourite TV show wraps up, it's heartbreaking because it feels like you grew with them and went on adventures and now it's all over.

I feel that if he'd had put his toys in the attic like he was going to it would have made a possible Toy Story 4, could have been interesting and an adventure on it's own. Giving his toys away to the little girl, you can't really go on after that. I for one wouldn't be as excited for a next one in the new room with new toys and kid, just not the same.

Anyways, I highly recommend this movie. It's an emotional roller coaster and you're going to love it story, visuals, animation, and all.......and if you're one of those people who aren't a big fan of animated features, I truly feel really sorry for you and you have no idea what you're missing out on. I also blame your parents for not letting you have an imagination while you were growing up and I also blame you for sucking. For everyone else, this movie is the end of an era and you're going to enjoy it.
