Perfect

Toy Story 3 is my most cherished movie experience of all time. The whole trilogy is a creative, heartfelt and overall perfect piece storytelling for all ages. With the first movie, we experience jealousy and rivalry between toys, as well as the realization of finding out you're a toy. In the end, the toys come to terms with their differences, and their roles in life and learn to co-exist. Toy Story 2 explores issues of abandonment and how lonely an unused toy can become. However it's with 3 that Toy Story packs a wallop of a tale.
The years have passed and Andy has grown up and is set for college. Woody & the gang haven't been played with in years and face the dire consequences of human aging. Before they come up against this situation, they are thrown into one last adventure, where they will have to escape an evil teddy bear that resents being replaced by a young girl.
Pixar's magic always seemed to work because they managed to mix a good story with nice comedic elements and great emotional moments. Basically the goal was to explore human feelings by presenting us with a beautiful animated world, where anything can happen. The balance between real world conflicts and an imaginary existence was mostly the secret behind Pixar's success. So it's no surprise that Toy Story 3 not only embodies this, but may have the best execution of that idea. Never have I been more in sync with the plot and the characters in a movie. They laugh, I laugh, they get scared, I get scared, and most of all, they cry, I cry. In what I can describe to you as the best 10 minutes I've ever seen in a movie, animated or live action, Andy says goodbye to his childhood by passing down his toys to a new owner. He will always remember them, and they, in return, will always be there for them.
So if you know what it's like to let go of your childhood and grow up, but still crave a nice reminder of those carefree times, Toy Story 3 is the perfect film for you. I'm 18, and even I already feel like Andy and all others that can relate. This is my favorite film of all time, and it may very well be for years to come. Just breathtakingly perfect.
