Blown Away, Best animated movie ever

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2010)

You're probably wondering if Toy Story 3 can possibly hold up against its nearly perfect predecessors. I wonder the same thing as I walked into the theater. Now, while the third movie in a trilogy is never good (with few exceptions) the wizards at Pixar have puled yet another winner out of their hat. Never have I been more entertained, touched, or learned more from an animated movie. This is the movie which not only all animated adventures be judged against, but all family movies. Toy Story 3 is a remarkable movie that will make you laugh and perhaps even cry. The script is extremely witty for the most parts, most of it aimed at adults. The voice cast is fabulous and the new characters fit in like a fish to water. All of the "core characters" (Woody, Buzz, etc.) complete their "character arc" becoming some of the most dynamic characters in recent memory. The actual animations have received a major overhaul, and are now some of the most beautiful computer-generated graphics ever. Using the lush, glow seen in Ratatouille and much darker, shadowy lighting that you would expect in the Godfather, Toy Story 3 generates as much tension as possible. Toy Story was is one of the most beloved movies ever. Toy Story 2 matched the original in all regards. Toy Story 3 however leaves them all behind. This is the most beautifully crafted movies of all time.
