Pixar magic

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2009)

It is funny. I have not rated a lot of the Pixar movies, but I have watched them all multiple times. Except this one. Somehow I never have seen this movie after who knows how many years of it being out and me loving Pixar. It is sad that I have to give it a 9 and not a 10 and the only reason is that is not as good as Toy Story. It is a great movie that technically is a huge stop up for Pixar and some of the effects were fantastic. I am mainly thinking of how good some of textures were and the reflection on the wooden floor of the toys. The story is great and funny, but did not resonate with me as much as the other films. I am not a hundred percent sure why, but there are probably a multitude of reasons. It is hard to recapture the love I had for the first movie with the same characters. I do love that the animators actually have quite a bit of story to tell with these characters and sequels do not feel forced. There is nothing wrong with this film other than it is not as good as some of the other Pixar films.
