Toy Story 3 Review

Rating: 7/10 (20 June 2010)

I love animation and get a kick out of the vast amount of difference between the films. And I enjoyed myself at Toy Story 3 but I felt it was one of the weakest of the trilogy mainly for how much it relied on Pixar's past success. It begins with now a seemingly new Pixar staple. A quick intro and then a "heart-felt" montage ala Up. I am not arguing that it wasn't touching but rather that it started me feeling like I have seen this movie before. This happened again numerous times throughout the movie. Most notably when Buzz is set to "Demo mode". I like Ham sighed because they yet again went to the same barrel as BOTH the other Toy Stories. That being said it was a great movie with some good laughs (though a lot more targeted at adults only then I am used to in a Pixar movie)and some touching scenes. The tone of the movie is much darker than the first two, probably with the realization that the series original target audience is now much older. The movie is definitely worth seeing but I am not clamoring out to go see it again. Great movie but not a instant classic masterpiece in my opinion.
