TS3

Rating: 9/10 (26 February 2020)

Of all the Toy Story movies, I think this is my favorite. I can't argue with the importance of 1 and what it did, I can't debate the stunning achievement that is 4 and all its visual splendor and 2 is there too.
What 3 brings is heart. There are moments, no matter how many times I watch this, that make my eyes well up and really tug on the heartstrings. I have a stronger reaction to this than any of the others, hands down.
Beyond that, the story here is powerful. A story of growing up and changing, about leaving behind the things of our youth and entering adulthood. About moving on when the things we idolize leave us behind.
It's also hilarious, has a wonderful villain and just strikes it completely out of the park. I will say, I don't know that this works as a stand alone film so if you haven't seen 1 and 2 then catch them first but other than that, this is amazing.
