Day (S)Care Center

Rating: 7/10 (24 October 2010)

Woody et al. are back for a final(?) installment in the immensely popular Toy Story franchise.
While not up to the original's technical and narrative impact fifteen years ago, this pic's an improvement on the second part. The day care center dictatorship offers a welcome sinister subtext, that was missing in part two, and the by now well-embraced characters are still able to carry enough emotional heft. And technically, this one's a marvel to behold.
Unfortunately, the emotional moments - the ending in particular - are not as effective as they ought to be, and the story's structure is all too similar to its predecessor's.
Still, a fitting swan song to the trilogy.
