A Great Goodbye To A Great Trilogy

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2011)

Woody and the Gang are mistakenly sent to a daycare during Andy's clean up as he prepares to go off to college. Woody is only one determined to find Andy, while the other toys decide to stay in the daycare. I've tried to round up the story in a sentence, but honestly there is so much to this storyline that it is impossible to write everything.
I grew up with the Toy Story films, so when I first heard about the third and final film (Hopefully Not) I took a deep breath and entered the cinema. What happened next was a breathtaking journey of a toy's love for his 'kid'. The film does not disappoint at all, it is funny with wonderful witty dialogue and scenes, as well as fantastic voice acting from some truly talented set of actors.
Every scene is brilliantly devised and there is never a dull moment, whether Woody and the gang have a falling out, or Woody is imprisoned in the little girls house, or Buzz's Spanish turn. It's just utterly magical. One of the true highlights of the movie is 'Ken & Barbie', you have to see it to understand just how funny Michael Keaton is!
I'll always remember the last scene, not because of Woody but because of what it can do....I will always remember the weeping of a woman next to me, I will remember the reddening eyes of a grown man on a row in front of me. For you see this is not just a simple 'cartoon or animation' it is a tale of growing up, a tale of leaving innocent things behind that made rainy afternoons fun, its about the splendours of the imagination.
I hope this is not the end my friends. But if it is. Thank you for the memories and farewell.
