An amazing part of my childhood comes to an end

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2010)

I was 6 years old when the first Toy Story came out and I remember it so clearly because I automatically fell in love. The story, the characters, the dialogue, the animation, all had me enthralled. I was about 10 when Toy Story two came out, following many disappointing sequels from Disney. It surpassed any expectation I had, bringing a new adventure to my beloved characters and staying loyal to the original.
Toy Story 3 is just as loyal but still manages enough change and originality that you get sucked in once again, loving every minute. Now, at 20 years of age, I once again found myself caught up in the story of the characters I grew up with. It was crazy to be in the theater with all these young kids that didn't have quite the same sentimental value attached to the show. They loved it but the novelty of it wasn't there for them. Toy Story was the first of it's kind when I saw it and I found myself trying to keep from crying at a couple moments near the end not just because the movie itself was moving but because it was the end of something so great. And I don't tear up that easily :)
i thought it ended on the perfect bittersweet note. As the plot began to unfold, I was a bit worried that the ending would be hard to accept but with a short time left I realized that Pixar had figured out an ending that would satisfy anyone. In short, I loved it. There is nothing that disappointed me in any way.
Thanks for this wonderful trilogy Pixar!
