Being 20 now....i have to say...this films for my age more!

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2010)

When my dad took me and my older brother to see toy story in cinema in 1995, i was only 6 years old and little did i know at the time, i was witnessing the beginning of perhaps the greatest film trilogy of all time. Toy Story captured the imagination and was the perfect family film combining adult (hey ham look i'm picasso....what 6 year old knows picasso) and child-like humour which made it a must see for parents and their children. One of the great things about the toys was how the characters all demonstrate human emotions giving the audience more empathy for them.
One things for certain. PIXAR will eventually make a bad film, because its impossible that everything they produce is a masterpiece (although thus far they have done so). This film is their absolute pinnacle. The next film may be excellent, but it can not top this. The film is set around the toys being taken to a daycare centre before Andy's moving on to college. Shortly after arriving it seems the toys have landed on their feet and are set to be more loved and used than ever before. All is not what it seems though and the toys are soon plotting on busting out and getting woody back to Andy before he departs to college.
Animation- Outstanding as ever Voice acting- Top class Direction- A joy to behold
Everybody on earth has a companion that they feel truly loved by. To Woody, Andy is this and his unwillingness to accept Andy having grown up is saddening to the audience watching. Anyone whose watched toy story 2 will understand Woody is now in Jessie's position shown in the montage. The obvious theme in this movie is growing up and moving on, but having seen the ending, id say woody's choice of jumping in the box with buzz and the rest, signals to people that there are people we love and inevitably have to let go, but your friends will always be there with you. This film had the perfect ending with a healthy message to its viewers. The guys at PIXAR are philosophers on life really aren't they.
Up until 3 days ago i had lord of the rings and indiana jones as the pinnacle of film trilogies (not including Indy 4) but i'll have to rethink things now. Outstanding film from pixar but truth be told i was expecting nothing less.
9/10...No more now though....3 is enough
