"TOY STORY 3"


NO TOY GETS LEFT BEHIND.
After fifteen years since the release of "Toy Story", viewers have enjoyed "Toy Story 2" and now get to continue the journey with Andy, Woody and Buzz in "Toy Story 3."
We first fell in love with Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) back in 1995, and again in 1999; and they are back for some more adventure in 2010.  These movies are based on toys that come to life when their owner Andy leaves his room.  They have adventures and give children a glimpse into a world outside their own.  Woody and Buzz have lived an adventurous life with their own Andy, but after all these years it’s time for Andy to go off to college.  Who does he bring?  Who does he leave?
The movie starts off with a recap of the great life all these toys lived.  Including all our favorites from the past; Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Bullseye, Rex, Hamm, Mr.&Mrs. Potatohead and Slinky Dog.  And then comes the drama, Andy is packing for college and is faced with the decision of what he should do with his toys.  He throws them all into a garbage bag, except Woody who he plans to bring to college.  The bag is intended to make its way to the attic when mom mistakes it for trash.  Like the movies in the past, it’s always an adventure with these toys.   They make their way to Sunnyside Day Care where they meet Lotso Huggin’ Bear, Big Baby and Ken.  They are told that they will be played with daily by the children, shining a bright light on day care life.  Where these toys mistaken! Their first day there they took a beating.  Once Woody makes his way to the day care to save his friends they battle Lotso, Big Baby and Ken to make an escape from Sunnyside.  Battling other toys, rehashing Lotso's rough past and escaping death, making their great escape from day care.  In the end all the toys make their way back to Andy who decides that instead of keeping his beloved toys trapped in the attic he will donate them to a family friend.  The movie ends with Andy and Bonnie playing with the toys, just like Andy did as a boy.

  1. I loved this movie, I thought that it was really funny and how its comedy was tuned towards both children and adults. Also, the fact that they had all the original actors in the third one made the movie even better. When squeals are made without the original actors in them they are never as good. Overall I really enjoyed this movie and I would recommend it to anyone.
