"Toy Story 3"

I’ve watched Toy Story, Toy Story 2 and now I’ve watched Toy Story 3. The Pixar people are absolute geniuses. When I saw Toy Story I thought it was superbly written; when Toy Story 2 came out, I thought they couldn’t have written a better sequel. So when they came out with Toy Story 3, I didn’t read any reviews because I wanted to see it for myself and enjoy.

The cartoon short before the feature was “Night and Day” I can’t describe it except that it gave me the giggles.  I took my 4yr old niece with me, so we had to watch it in 3-D. But when the movie started, I really didn’t notice the difference.

The story was original, except for one small flaw, Lotso the Bear was just a re-treaded Stinky Pete, but his “story” was no less poignant.  Was I the only one who cried in Toy Story 2 when Jesse’s story was told with Sarah McLachlan singing “When She Loved Me”? At the time, I thought it was just gut wrenching. I had a tear drop down in this movie too; it was just so achingly ‘real’. Call me a sentimentalist, but we all recall the instant when we left behind our childish ways and became an adult. Once we cross that line, we can’t go back. 

I really liked the addition of the Ken doll in this movie, he was the comic relief.

My niece never moved from her seat, she never fiddled with her 3D glasses and every now and then I’d see her mouth hanging open in abject awe.

This is a must see movie.
