The Toy-est Story Ever Told

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2010)

The third and final installment opens with a bang and never lets go. Brilliant doesn't even begin to describe the emotional treasure trove that is "Toy Story 3." When he's off to college, intending to take Sheriff Woody with him, Andy wants to move the other toys to the attic but they eventually land at a children's daycare center where trouble awaits. What follows is a rousing, hilarious, heartwarming tale of friendship, reliability, and the fact that childhood - like it or not - will always be an intrinsic part of our being. Newly introduced characters blend seamlessly with the cuddly bunch we've come to know so well for the last fifteen years. Told with panache and a light hand for side gags that will please kids and grown-ups alike, especially - but not necessarily - in 3D. The wizards at Pixar did it again, bringing their most beloved film series to a gratifying conclusion with no loose ends and a finale that will leave you reaching for your handkerchiefs.
