A emotional masterpiece for the ages..

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2015)

Like so many kids i grew up as Pixar began rising to the peak of animation. I was wowed by the first Toy Story and thrilled by the second, but nothing could have prepared me eleven years later for this masterpiece. This film had be me laughing one minute, heart in my mouth the next and crying my eyes out and the end of the film. Because of my age when this film was released, i could relate to Andy and how he was changing in what he loved due to advancements in technology and his age. The plot is simple yet complex at the same time as we follow Woody and Buzz as they attempt to get back to Andy again before he leaves for college. The film keeps on the edge of your seat the whole way through as the gang of toys fight for what they love most: each other. The voice acting is once again superb with the timeless Tom Hanks and Tim Allen leading the charge. Along with these two leading stars, the inclusion of Michael Keaton as Ken is such a brilliant turn as he is completely hilarious. The animation is superb as is every Pixar film is along with the lighting and music which is expertly provided by Randy Newman with the song we belong together a personal favourite of mine. The eleven year wait was brought to a conclusion for me with what i found to be the most emotional final scene i have ever witnessed in a film. When Andy gave his toys to Bonnie, i somehow felt as though i was losing them to, proving how incredible Pixar are at masterful story telling. I will never forget this film and the effect that it had on me, a feeling of pure enjoyment no other film will ever rival. To infinity and beyond Pixar, to infinity and beyond.
