Gotta Love Pixar

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2010)

The Toys are back in town! (Yea, I said it). "Toy Story 3" may just be the best installment in the Toy Story series (and the word on the street is Pixar may be making a forth). Pixar hasn't let me down yet on staying true to what matter most, the story. And somehow Pixar keeps raising the bar on 3D animation making it seem like they are untouchable. "Toy Story 3's" visuals and animation put the first "Toy Story" to shame. It is like comparing VHS to Blu-Ray.
With a huge cast of characters, I was worried that "Toy Story 3" might become too saturated with character stories and I would have trouble following and caring about all of the story lines. But director Lee Unkrich does a good job of splitting the character's up in the movie through a series of events and has the audience follow three grouped story lines instead of the potential 20. This allows for good action sequences and quick cuts between story lines that leave you anxious for more. I do admit that the middle of the movie does get a little slow at times, but not slow enough to where you feel they could have left some of it out. Sometimes developing a good story takes time and I am happy that Unkrich didn't feel like he had to cut story to meet a time frame.
