An animated film whose psychological depth also appeals to adults.

Rating: 7/10 (16 December 2015)

This is the third film of Toy Story franchise. The young Andy grew up, stopped to play and decided to donate most of his toys for a daycare, retaining only those he liked most, such as the inseparable Woody and Buzz Lightyear. But something goes wrong and everyone ends up in a daycare where a mysterious pink bear seems to rule. Directed by Lee Unkrich, this movie kept the voice actors from the first two for the central characters of the plot.
Any connoisseur of good cinema knows that to make a good sequel it's necessary to establish a happy continuity with the previous films. Toy Story movies managed it easily and effectively by holding the cast core together: in fact, the major cast change in this film is the output of John Lasseter, standing on director's chair one of his co-directors in Toy Story 2, which shows us the importance of a stable team in the success of this franchise. Adolescence and the fate of toys when children's leave to play are important issues for the plot, despite having been addressed in the previous films. Some toys have, in their past, sad stories of abandonment related to that, a recurring situation in Toy Story's films, but which is of increased importance in this one, touching more particularly the most adult audiences, which makes this film the most adult of the franchise to date. Perhaps because of that, this movie was a huge success at the box office and critics resulting in several awards, among which are the Golden Globe for Best Animated Film, the BAFTA for the same category and, finally, the Oscar's for Best Animated Film and Best Original Song ("We Belong Together").
This is an excellent outcome for one of the most successful franchise's of animated cinema. A film for the whole family, which keeps the loyalty of the delighted audiences from the first film and still managed to conquered new audiences. There has been some speculation about a fourth film in the coming years. If were to happen, it's expected a success at the level of previous films.
