Toy Story 3


I was anxious to see this movie because I was wondering how Disney was going to continue the story after all these years. So the story goes that Woody, Buzz, and the rest of their toy-box friends are dumped in a day-care center after their owner, Andy, departs for college. Wow, a Day Care center full of toys, why didn’t I think of that? This story creates a great movie that is as good as T.S. 1 & 2. This is not a Godfather 3.
You end up falling in love with the characters again and it brings back memories of when you first met them. Barbie and Ken are in this movie (Disney must have paid Mattel a mint) and Ken is voiced by Michael Keaton (Batman #1). There are times when all the adults in the theater are laughing, due to humor aimed at parents, and children in the theater looked puzzled. Kids will however love this movie and want to buy the old DVDs if they don’t already own them.

Verdict: A very good movie and sets the stage for many Toy Stories to come. Pixar is also working on Cars 2 & 3 and Monsters Inc. 2. Why? Because they have these theme based rides of these movies at their parks in CA, Florida, and around the world and they have to have young kids relate to the characters and get their butts on the rides.

I loved Toy Story 3...even came close to shedding a tear and couldn't believe the animated characters had so much talent and emotional depth :-) Ken was hilarious and Ned Beatty did a great job as the Bear. This definitely is one of the better summer movies, for young and old.
