Toy Story 3 was all sorts of awesome
There are a lot of things that could be said about the movie including how it is, in my opinion, the best prison break movie that graced the screens for the first time in years. It is a well-weaved and wonderful tale of mortality and the pains (and pleasure too, I guess) of leaving childhood behind. Funny and tear-jerking – Toy Story 3 has that unbeatable combination that Pixar is starting to perfect with its long line of excellent full-length feature films. It’s the kind of movie that all filmmakers should strive to make.
Toy Story 3 was worth all the hype. It was well-animated and very moving, especially towards the end. I had to keep myself from bawling with the ending but it’s also worth noting that even the credits solicited some LOLs.
All in all, the Toy Story series is a really nice trilogy that displays, more than anything else, the leaps and bounds by which Pixar has grown. It might even be my favorite trilogy (with LOTR coming in close second).
From the innovation, fast-moving entertainment, and broadly relevant themes of the first Toy Story movie, to the second film, we are presented with the product of how Pixar makes a commitment to quality at any cost. The emotional impact of the story in the third film was also deepened which mixes excellent entertainment with powerful and deeply moving ideas behind it in the same way that their recent films (Up, Wall-E, etc) have excelled at doing.
There are a lot of great films this year but Toy Story 3 is my favorite, so far. Also, if you are my friend and you decide not to watch it (and watch Karate Kid instead), I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you.
