An Amazing Trilogy

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2010)

Any sequel reflects the original and while I adore A New Hope over any of the other Star Wars, or Back to the Future part 1, or Godfather (obviously), I fell in love with Toy Story 3. I thought the first two were unbeatable but I stand corrected. Toy Story 3 packed such a punch, I laughed, I (almost!) cried, and I feel like I should break out my old toys and play with them for ol time's sake. The opening scene (hilarious) and the climax (Ahhh!) are what sold me. The story and writing alone is amazing; add the graphics and it is phenomenal. I am not the hugest fan of CG or 3D over the old school but you can't help but wander how long it takes to design hair or fur to wave like that in the breeze. Earlier complains have been that it is perhaps not best for small children. There are some innuendos and dark moments but Disney has always pushed the envelope on dark moments (e.g. Mufasa, Black Cauldron, Up's beginning heartbreaking montage) Will Disney/Pixar ever stop playing with my emotions?? Not with music like this. 10 out of 10: a must-see
