No one but Pixar can consistently make films this amazing.

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2010)

Pixar is my favorite animation studio ever, and they've NEVER let me down. Even their WORST film in my opinion Cars, was still a great movie). BUT, even with Toy Story 3's wide array of universal acclaim, I was still having doubts. Because third films usually turn out to be the worst, and I was having fear it wouldn't be that good...
Aww, who the hell am I kidding?! This was my favorite of the trilogy, and only FURTHER adds to Pixar's long line of fantastic family films.
11 years after the second Toy Story, Andy is now about to depart to college. He decides to leave some of his toys like Buzz Lightyear (Voiced by Tim Allen), and Jessie (Joan Cusack), in the attic where they'll be safe, and take Woody (Voiced by Tom Hanks) to college with him. However, the toys to be placed in the attic are mistaken for trash, and placed on the curb. Feeling betrayed and unwanted, the toys, along with Woody trying to convince the toys it was all a mistake, all climb into a box to be donated to Sunny Side day care. They meet up with the head toy Lotso-Huggin Bear (Voiced by Ned Beatty), who sets them up in the "caterpillar" room for toddlers. Woody breaks out to find Andy, but gets picked up by the daughter of a woman who works there, while the rest of the toys decide to stay. But, things get a little out of hand, and Woody must travel back to help the other toys break out.
Now, the film isn't EXACTLY the same kind of feel as the first two. The film is directed by Lee Unkrich, taking over the helm from John Lasseter. Unkrich though, keeps the story going at a wonderful pace, and the film still features the same fantastic type of humor, action, and emotional heart to it. Be sure to bring plenty of Kleenexes for the third act.
The voiceovers, as always, are brilliant. Hanks, Allen, Cusack, Don Rickles, Wallace Shawn, Estelle Harris, and John Ratzenberger are all fantastic in their returning roles. And there are also fantastic newcomers such as Michael Keaton, Timothy Dalton, Kristen Schaal, and Jeff Garlin, as well as others. I also want to give major kudos to Ned Beatty for his standout performance.
The animation as always, FANTASTIC. It's absolutely gorgeous work, helped out by marvelous sound design from Tom Myers of Up, and Cars. The 3-D though, not that marvelous. I think I definitely could have lived without it. But, it doesn't hinder the movie whatsoever.
It's a charming, hilarious, emotional, and satisfyingly worthy conclusion to a trilogy that quite literally has only gotten better with each new installment.
All of these reasons are why I simply CAN'T give the movie anything less than an enthusiastic, **** out of ****
