funny and surprisingly clever movie

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2011)

I wasn't sure about Toy Story 3 at first. It was, of course, funny and well animated, but there was something a little depressing about the story and I was wondering where they could go with it. But it just kept getting better and better, and much of it was riotously funny.
It is also contains a remarkably ingenious plot. The central escape scenes are both a take-off of the prison camp escape genre and a really good example of it, with tons of clever ideas one after the other.
In spite of my early doubts, I think this is the best entry in the series, a movie that hits the mark in every way, down to a lovely and touching finale.
