Toy Story 3 Review

Rating: 5/5

The first Toy Story movie was the first movie I ever saw. As a result, Toy Story is and always will be my favorite Pixar series. The first 2 Toy Stories were heartwarming, funny, sad, and poignant, and this final installment brings all of that to a new level.

With the first two dealing with heavy issues like abandonment and one's purpose in life, Toy Story 3 finds Woody and the gang with their biggest one yet: mortality. With Andy off to college, the rest of the toys feel abandoned and accept it when Andy's mom donates them to a day care. At first this seems like a dream, a perfect environment for a group of toys who just want to be played with.

However, they find that this is not the case, and they must rebel against the mafia-like hierarchy of Lotso-Huggin Bear (brilliantly voiced by Ned Beatty). Tim Allen, Tom Hanks, and the rest of the usuals are perfect in their roles. The animation? Beautiful. The story? Awesome. The humour? Hysterical. The ending? Tear-jerking. If you like movies of any kinds, go see this movie. Now.

P.S.
to all the people and critics who claim that Toy Story 3 has too much product placement, you're wrong. It rips into the famous toys, but uses them because PEOPLE ACTUALLY PLAY WITH THEM. I mean come on, it's not always about the fat cats in Hollywood.
