Toy Story 3 review




move over Up..there's a new sheriff in town!

Toy Story 3 can be summarize in 1 word, TEARS, not because it was bad, but because it was so damn good

I remember the first movie, I knew there was going to be a great ending one day..I don't know if there's a 4th installment, but if the franchise end on the 3rd movie, it will be a great ending indeed

at first I was very skeptical about watching the movie, after the disastrous Shrek Forever After (oh..I didn't review on that, but it was disastrous) Toy Story 3 really have a good story line

so here's the review and

WARNING POSSIBLE SPOILER!



the story so far...Andy is going to college, and he hasn't been playing with the toys for quiet some times now, and the toys feeling alone and left behind, this lead to idea that Andy is going to throw some of the toys away, they had lose many of their former friends from Toy Story 1 and 2 including Wheezy and Woody's love Bo Peep, it is not mention why there weren't there, it could be either they were thrown out, left in the attic or sold

no more love from Bo Peep

the singing penguin from Toy Story 2, Wheezy

now the team consists only a few of the original toys, including Buzz Lightyear, Jessie and Mr and Mrs Potato Head, even the army guys leaving the team to go to a better place

when the toys mistook Andy's intention of moving the toys out from the room as an act of throwing them out, they set their goal on going to a nursery where there would be kids all the time for them to play with..this however was a mistake

at first everything seems to good to be true, but this was just an elaborate lies done by an old toys, Lotho, that had its heart broken by his kid a long time ago..Andy's toys were force to play with very young kids that brutally abuse Andy's toys, and led them to feel even more miserable and lost hope

Woody, who doesn't want to be part of the toys that choose to stay in the nursery, wanted to go home to follow Andy to college, but instead getting tangled up with Bonnie, when trying to escape the nursery, Bonnie is another kid but with great imagination, and much like Andy when he was young

when Woody heard that the nursery was a bad place, he vow to help his friends escape even with the risk of losing Andy going to college, with much adventures and misadventures they finally escape the nursery and Lotho misdeed was finally paid

the toys reach Andy's home just in time for Andy going to college, so Buzz, Jessie and the other toys decided that Andy's attic can't be as bad as the nursery, but Woody would leave with Andy to college, this sadden the them, that they would finally be apart

however a last minute idea by Woody gave hope that they would stay together, Woody wrote in a note to donate the toys to Bonnie, because of what he felt when he played with Bonnie, Andy was reluctant at first, especially when Woody decided to stay with Bonnie too, in the end, confident that Bonnie would take care of them just like Andy had done for years, Andy left for college leaving all the toys with Bonnie

and so a new story begins


Toy Story 3 has a very good story line, it doesn't have a great twist, but why would you need that in a kid's movie right? it is simple, short, lovely and funny

the ending bring tears to anyone that watched, unless you're not a fan of the franchise or cartoons, which can only mean that you have a very sad childhood..

anyway, the story definitely deserve a 4.5/5 stars due to its well written script, simple yet funny jokes, great songs, tearful dramas, and just by bringing in some of the original traits that made this movie a must watch movie for those that love the franchise and great cartoons

and so, I left with the ever lovely original song of Toy Story franchise You've Got A Friend In Me sang live by Randy Newman




brings back my childhood memories
