Impossible not to enjoy it

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2011)

It's been a while since I watched the other two Toy Story movies so I wasn't expecting much from this one. For the first hour I was thinking that the third instalment was a bit of let down but the last 45 minutes really make up for that.
The toys owner, Andy, is going to college and doesn't seem interested in his collection of toys anymore. Most of them end up in a daycare centre for wild kids but with some persuasion by Woody they decide the best thing is to make it back to their old house to be there for Andy is he ever needs them.
This is where the movie really gets going, with escapes, near misses and a really bad "baddy". The pace of the movie is frenetic at this point but this makes it all the more enjoyable.
There is a sentimental but satisfying ending that causes one to reflect on the importance of friendship.
As with the other movies the animation is superb. There are some great lines and movie references and the voices are brilliant.
Movie fans of all ages will love it.
