Pixar at their best!

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2010)

The minute I saw the trailer for Toy story 3 I was blown away and it brought back so many memories that the past year has been just waiting anxiously for it to come out. Then the movies came out on blu-ray, what better way to prepare for this amazing adventure that Pixar gave us. I have to say, when I saw Wall-E I was just surprised to see how they could get people of all ages to get so emotional with such unusual characters. That lovely robot that changed the fate of mankind and had us laughing for quite a while, to that 80 year old grumpy man. By the way, with Up, they made people fall in love with a character within 10 minutes. I think some people don't realize that for some movies, it takes the writers 2 hours to make people identify with the characters. Without doubt, The Pixar people know that when they are making a movie, they are making THE movie of the year. I grew up with Toy story, as many other reviewers here. I still laugh with the same movies and still get my heart a LITTLE broken every time I see that part in the first Toy Story with the song "I Will Go Sailing No More". The night I went to watch this movie I was with a few friends from the US (I'm from Mexico and we only get the dubbed version which is pretty awesome too, and I don't generally like dubbed movies). Their Spanish is not great so some parts were a little hard for them to understand. It was not necessary for them to get every single line, and I think it made them focus on the expressions of the toys, the music, the lighting and they too were crying as well as most people in the room, I can't wait for them to watch it in English and then watch it with a completely different perspective. Although it is a movie for kids, it is the darker of the three, the second time I saw it I was with a couple of little kids and they were really scared in some parts. Ever since Wall-E I came to realize how universal their movies are, so little dialogue, so many emotions. I guess this is probably not a great review of the movie, it is more like the experience you are probably gonna get. It's a movie in which you will laugh, cry, get scared, angry and who knows how many other things. So many life lessons that about friendship and love. I felt like I was 8 years old again, nothing mattered but the great stories I made up with all my toys, I didn't want to grow up (I still think some part of me didn't and that is why I enjoy this movies so much), but somehow, this movie showed a different side of the script and story that you don't get when you are a kid. **SPOILER for Finding Nemo** It was like that part in Finding Nemo when they are hanging to the whales tongue and Dory says: It's time to let go! Marlin: How do you know, how do you know something bad isn't gonna happen?! Dory: I don't! A kid would just probably get plain lines without special meaning. Just ask a parent if they got the same simple lines. Dreamworks' Shrek made the same thing with adult jokes. Don't get me wrong, Shrek is a great movie, I guess if I had to choose to watch a movie over and over again between these two... Toy story... always Toy Story
