What a Blast From the Past

Rating: 8/10 (27 June 2010)

Toy Story 3 is quite an experience. If you're like me, you have watched the Toy Story movies as a child. So, it was a little weird going to see the third movie in the theater all grown up. Even though it was not worth seeing in 3D, it was still an amazing movie with a fantastic storyline.
I was very surprised on how much this movie made me laugh. I am not one to laugh at comedy that is made for children, but this movie has succeeded plenty of times. It is one of the few movies I can say that all ages can enjoy, and even if you are not a big fan of family films, you still might enjoy it.
The whole Plot of the story is that Andy, the child from the previous movies who played with the toys, is all grown up, and is going to college. The toys are put in a day care center, and they have to start their new life there. I was surprised when this plot occurred, as it was more creative than I expected.
What truly makes this movie fantastic is the great voice acting and new characters. The voice acting is outstanding to say the least, and the new characters all have personalities that fit their toy figure. To see such a huge new variety of cast, its fair to expect disaster. But, Pixar did a fantastic job, and the story keeps almost all characters in the story and have their own place in the plot.
Toy Story 3 is not a perfect movie, though. The storyline reaches a couple of dull spots where I lost interest, and the ending was not too satisfying. I don't want to ruin anything, but you will see what I mean. It just seems the story shifts what the characters want.
Overall, Toy Story 3 is a fantastic family film, and I know kids will enjoy it, and adults might even enjoy it more. This is near the top of the best summer movies of 2010, and for great reasons. Although not perfect, it is definitely worth seeing in the theaters.
