Toy Story 3 : Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2010)

Our family went last night to see Toy Story 3 and let me tell you that I came away from that movie completely satisfied. I am 40 years old and I think I enjoyed the movie more than my kids, who are 16 and 14. How Pixar is able to create such an attachment to their characters is a testament to their wonderful creative team.
I won't go too much into the details but if you are only going to see one movie this summer, this would be it! There is something in this movie for everyone and every age group. This isn't much of a spoiler but if you have really young children the landfill scene might be a little traumatic for them. My wife even jumped a couple of times during that scene.
All in all, this has got to be one of the greatest trilogies of all time, and second only to Lord of the Rings for me. The ending is very well written and yes I'll admit it, I teared up a little when it was over. Again, it's amazing to me that Pixar is able to create such an attachment to these "toys". These characters are so much more than that as they have been around for the last 15 years. I was 25 when the first Toy Story came out and you definitely get a feeling of nostalgia when this movie ends. I guess what is most upsetting is knowing that there will be no more Toy Story movies, as this one ends perfectly.
Pixar has really outdone themselves with this movie, and you would think that the creative well would run dry over there. Each time a Pixar movie is released, you half expect it to be the one that really doesn't measure up to the previous films. Toy Story 3 is not that movie and I think it has to be one of their best films, right behind Finding Nemo.
Hope this review was useful and do yourself a favor and go watch this movie.
