Toy Story 3 will be remembered

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2010)

When I first learned of a third entry to the Toy Story series, I was on IMDb looking up some information from one of the earlier Toy Story titles. When looking up either Toy Story or Toy Story 2, my eyes saw a link to a Toy Story 3 page, set for 2010. When I saw this, I was both excited and a bit worried. I would once again see my favorite toys up on the big screen in an all new adventure, however I was skeptical as to how well this could be pulled off. Even though it was Pixar working on the film, I had trouble seeing just how a good third Toy Story could be made. Take the Shrek franchise for instance; Shrek the Third was not only unnecessary, but also not a very good movie in the first place. Well, the years went by and I finally saw a trailer for the Pixar film; it nearly moved me to tears. The idea that Andy was moving away, leaving the Toys behind was enough to make me pre-order my tickets. I thought it was a great story line. However, as the date for the moving got closer and closer, I was a bit upset with how they revealed much of the plot through their YouTube page. They talked about how the day-care was not what the toys originally thought it was going to be, and how there was going to be a prison escape. Then I actually saw the film, and was blown away. Pixar did not reveal an eighth of the story as I had feared they did. The animation, the story, and so much more all come together to make not only the perfect third entry to a franchise, but the perfect ending of a trilogy. The Toy Story trilogy is now complete, and it feels that way. This movie will be remembered, and it deserves not only the 9.4/10 that it currently stands on IMDb, but the 100% it hold at RT. I applaud Pixar for this amazing film, and can not wait to see what they do next.
