Third Time's A Charm.

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2015)

Toy Story 3 (2010): Dir: Lee Unkrich / Voices: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Ned Beatty, Michael Keaton, Joan Cusack: Every bit as wonderful and joyous as the first two Toy Story films. What is truly remarkable is how simple the first Toy Story is as a landmark animation, and how both sequels manage to improve using deep impression themes. Andy is grown up and ready for college but his toys get misplaced on the way to the attic and are shipped off to Sunnyside Daycare. They are greeted with the pains of toddlers before being greeted by Lotso the stuffed bear. Directed by Lee Unkrich with glorious images throughout as well as a comical yet suspenseful screenplay. There is many references to prison movies that are amusing. Tom Hanks again voices Woody the cowboy who breaks out of Sunnyside to go to college with Andy but soon realizes that his friends are in dire need of help. Tim Allen again voices Buzz Lightyear who ends up a prisoner in Sunnyside and whose batteries are switched around to a comical effect. Ned Beatty is the perfect voice of Lotso with his own backstory on how he came to land in Sunnyside. Michael Keaton voices Ken who gushes over Barbie. This is hilarious especially when trust is violated and Barbie decides to take matters into her own hands. Joan Cusack is great voicing Jessie who discovers that Buzz has language buttons that bring about different personas. There is a strong theme regarding friendship and how life's difficulties are easier faced when not alone. Pixar once again creates a winner and for a second sequel, that is an amazing accomplishment. Score: 9 / 10
