The third installment is even better than the second!

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2010)

I loved both Toy Story and its sequel, and I loved its third installment just as much. Everyone knows that no sequel ever matches up to its predecessor, and that being said, I would like to say that while I enjoyed it more than Toy Story 2, it wasn't as good as Toy Story. But it was a very close call. I loved this movie. Even as a teen, I still felt for the toys. And while I must admit that Lotso the evil mastermind bear, the monkey security guard, the baby doll, and even the clown toy (I've always been afraid of clowns) scared me, but all Disney movies have to have a villain. I have to say, after a few people in the audience started to clap, I started clapping too. Soon the whole theater was erupting in cheer. It was then that I knew, and after wards when a lady behind me called her friend to tell her that she just HAD to see the movie, that Toy Story 3 would be a great hit and widely renowned. Roger Ebert, from the Chicago Sun Times, even gave the movie three stars, and I must say, he is a pretty hard critic to impress. Now while I love when he trashes movies (he's my go-to critic, normally, even though I don't live in Chicago, and when he trashes a movie it can be hilarious), I liked to see that this movie did well on his scale. Because I knew then also that it would be liked. And I think I was correct. Now let me bore you with the plot of this kid-attracting movie. Basically Andy is all grown up now, and he's going off to college. His mom (y'know, I never really liked her) guilted him into putting his old toys away in the attic. Except for Woody, who, lucky him, gets to go to college with Andy. But there's just one little problem. The toys, like most, I would expect, are selfish and just want to be loved and played with again, so after a close call with a trash truck, they decide to put themselves in a box of old toys up for donation at Sunnyside Day Care Center. Oh, if only they knew. Well, Sunnyside is run by the huggable bear Lotso, who turns out to be not-so-lovable, as we learn later on. Woody decides he belongs to Andy, and he won't desert him, so he leaves the toys at the day care. Oh, if only he knew, too. Now, I won't reveal the end to you, or the rest of plot. Of course, since this is a children's movie, and only rated PG, it has a happy ending. Since I'm not going to tell you, well, you'll just have to see it for yourself. And believe me, after wards, you'll be glad you took my advice and saw it. Trust me.
