Toy Story 3: Another Great Selection from Pixar

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2010)

I just got back from the 12:00 Noon showing of Toy Story 3, and I have to say that this is easily the best film of 2010 so far. I loved Iron Man 2, but this easily tops it. The entire cast (excluding Jim Varney who died) returned for this installment: Tom Hanks returns as Woody, Tim Allen returns as Buzz Lightyear, Joan Cussack returns as Jessie, Don Rickles returns as Mr. Potato Head, John Ratzenberger returns as Hamm, etc. Michael "Batman" Keaton steps in as Ken, a character who I believe might upset some gay people, but still is funny. Also, if you want to take your kid to a movie where they won't get scared at all, this isn't it. The movie is MUCH darker than the last 2 Toy Story films. For example: There is a scene at the end after the toys escape from Sunnyside Day Care, where they are taken to the dump by a garbage truck and get caught in a pickle where they are about to be burned alive along with all the trash. The scene is very, very intense for a G-Rated film. All in all, though, Toy Story 3 is a FANTASTIC film and easily the best of 2010 and also my favorite of all 3 Toy Story films. I give it a 9.5/10
