    My review is brief as others have almost said it all. I just want to say that I am 62 years old, and just the thought about the way I felt when I saw this movie in the theatre makes me tear up. It is a nostalgic feeling in a big way. Reminds you of your childhood and those special feelings about growing up. You want to grow up and get on to being an adult in the worst way, but thinking back now your childhood was such a very special time. So fleeting and if we’re lucky, such a special time in our lives.
    I highly recommend the purchase of this movie to add to your collection.
    I honestly feel that the series should stop here. Perfect right where it was left.

    This review is from: Toy Story 3 (DVD)

    I went to the San Francisco Film Festival screening at Pixar Studios last night not really knowing what to expect. Toy Story has been with us for 15 years now (20, in terms of actual development) and I had a sinking feeling that maybe all the character potential had been used in the first two and this was some shameless plot by Disney to exploit the franchise (“Little Mermaid 3″, anyone?). Well, shame on me for underestimating the capabilities of Pixar, who once again have shown how a small studio in Emeryville is a storytelling powerhouse that leaves the rest of the industry in the dust.

    Toy Story 3 is the tale of Andy, the toys’ owner, going to college and their quest to determine their future – headed between the attic or a daycare center. If you’ve enjoyed the way the first two films blend character drama with innovative action and humor, this cocktail hits its stride in the third film, which draws on everything we already know about the characters and then adds two new entire sets of toys to the plot. There’s a new villain, two very amusing romance sub-plots and a litany of visual gags that push the envelope even further. I’m not allowed to go into any details but the second half of the film is a familiar set piece performed in a completely new way that will forever change your view of certain toys and day care centers.

    Apart from a level of animation that sets the bar in the industry and an attention to detail that makes you wonder what most “real” films actually do in pre-production, the real genius of the third film is to provide a satisfying conclusion that gives every character a completed character arc. About 20 minutes before the end, I was wondering how they would do this since there were some fairly dark moments (similar to those in Wall-E and Up), but naturally they manage to pull it together. There’s literally not a single wasted shot, let alone a wasted scene, and the pace quickens throughout to keep the tension mounting.

    Overall, this is another Pixar classic that easily has enough for both kids and adults (and movie aficionados). It’s not difficult to see why each of their movies takes five years to complete – yet despite the technical wizardry, the success of their movies is fundamentally routed in their stories, a fact which most other studios seem to forget these days. As to whether the stage is set for Toy Story 4, I suppose they could always pull it off given the creativity at work here, but I think there was a deliberate attempt to make this the last in the series.

    This review is from: Toy Story 3 (Four-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy) (Blu-ray)

    “Toy Story” was about sibling rivalry. “Toy Story 2″ was about loving others, even if it means you might get hurt someday.

    So what is “Toy Story 3″ about? It takes the whole “kids + loyal toys” theme to its natural conclusion, by showing us what happens when the kids grow up and leave. While the first two-thirds of the movie are fairly pedestrian (for a Pixar movie!), the last part is both action-packed and emotionally wrenching.

    Ten years have passed, and Andy is now a college-bound teenager. His toys are anxious about what’s going to happen, so Woody keeps assuring them that they’ll be put safely in the attic. But a misunderstanding leads to a date with the garbage truck. Since the toys believe they have been abandoned, they jump into the box of donated toys bound for Sunnyside Daycare.

    They’re greeted by the genial Lots-o’-Hugging Bear (aka Lotso) and the friendly daycare toys, and all seems to be well. But Andy’s toys soon discover that Sunnyside is a nighmare — they’ve been assigned the “Caterpillar Room” for wild abusive toddlers, and Lotso is the Godfatheresque overlord of the daycare. Once Woody learns the true horrors of Sunnyside, he must infiltrate the daycare and somehow get his friends out.

    You know that the movie industry is officially in a slump when the cleverest, funniest and most touching movie of the summer… is a CGI sequel about toys. “Toy Story 3″ starts off rather lightweight at first, with the toys being brought into Sunnyside and Woody setting off in another direction.

    But once Lotso is revealed as the villain, the movie takes a sharp turn — it becomes a clever, complex “Great Escape”-style caper, with some moments of G-rated horror (THE MONKEY!) and hilarity (resetting Buzz ends up turning him into a flamenco-dancing suave Spaniard). And while the toys’ attempted escape from Sunnyside is taut and genuinely thrilling, it’s only the START of the climax — a harrowing, genuinely scary chase scene that brings the toys together.

    And there’s a bittersweet core to “Toy Story 3″: kids grow up, leave home and the people/toys they leave behind are both proud and sad. In the final scenes of the movie,we’re quietly ushered through the emotional goodbyes and hellos of growing up.

    And the adorable little cast of toys still remind us that what matters most is love and loyalty, particularly during a deadly crisis where they all fearfully join hands (it sounds sappy, but it isn’t). There’s also some endearing additions to the cast — the foppish clotheshorse Ken, Big Baby, a Totoro, a giggly tricerotops, and the Shakespearean stuffed hedgehog Mr. Pricklepants.

    Anyway, this blu-ray/DVD combo has a wealth of extras — trailers teasers, theatrical shorts (oh look, Night and Day are scuffling!), “Cine-emplore,” commentary, lots of making-ofs, behind the scenes stuff like “A Toy’s Eye View: Creating A Whole New Land,” a music video, and just lots of endearing odds and ends like Ken’s dating tips. Er…

    It hurts to say goodbye to Woody, Buzz and their friends, but “Toy Story 3″ is a fitting farewell that brings the trilogy full circle. Best movie of the summer, hands down.
