This post is very much delayed. I had work, a valid excuse. :P hahaha...
The bu and I watched Toy Story 3 last week and I totally loved it. I remember watching the first Toy Story movie and how amazingly it captured all my childhood fantasies that my toys could talk and that they would meet up every night when the humans were asleep. It was amazing and I loved it a lot.
When the second movie came out I didn't want to watch it in the cinema. All these movie franchises kept coming out with sequels and Toy Story 2 never felt like a priority on my list of movies to watch. So sadly I wasn't able to watch it in the cinema.
When news that this movie franchise was coming out with it's last movie to close the series I thought nothing of it until everyone around me started making a big deal out of it and my brother asked me to download the first two movies so he could watch them again. Which I did.
After watching the first two movies of the franchise I was slowly becoming excited for the movie to come out. All the marketing and plugging really got to me. So when it finally did come out, the bu and I decided we would make the effort and put it on our list of movies to watch.
Now that you have the back story of my relationship with the Toy Story franchise, let me give you my take on the movie...
Toy Story 3 is a brilliant movie. It pulled at your heart strings and made you miss all your childhood toys. It made me want to go back in time and treat my toys better. It made me want to make sure that my kids treated their toys well. It actually made me want to dig up my old toys and see what kind of a toy keeper I was. Toy Story 3 made me think about toys in a whole new perspective.
It was actually a bit sad to see that there were a lot of toys that were in the original movies that weren't there anymore. But I guess that made it more realistic. But I think what made the movie great was it had it's own story while it closed the chapter on the over-all story. I loved all the antics and stunts that the toys had to do to survive. I loved the reset button and the Spanish version. I loved the dancing and the fashion show. But what I loved the most was the pita.
Just thinking about the movie and it's scenes already makes me want to laugh out loud and I believe the movie did just what it had intended. So if you want to see a movie that will make you cry and laugh out loud then this is the movie for you. I would recommend this movie to anyone. :)
In my book, Toy Story 3 is a winner.
