Toy Story 3: the Movie Review

Intro:

For those of you who lived under a rock for the past decade, Toy Story 3 is the last installment in Disney Pixar’s most phenomenal and epics trilogy, the Toy Story Trilogy. Created almost a decade ago, Toy Story was a HUGE smash hit. It spawned Pixar’s first sequel, the equally great Toy Story 2. But now we have Toy Story 3, and I have to say, it lives up to the series.

Overview:
Andy is owner of the toys that Pixar made famous, Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Bullseye the horse, the Little Green Men, Piggie Bank Porkers, and Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, to name a few. He loved those toys and always played with them. But now he’s going to college and he’s too old to play with toys. He enrages the toys when he calls them old junk. His mother tells him that he has to choose what to do with them. He decides to take Woody to college, but puts the rest in a garbage bag. Fear not, though. The toys are heading safely to the attic… something they don’t believe. But they’ll get there, as it’s only a few steps from Andy’s room… or will they? Andy’s sister asks for him to help with something, and when he’s not looking, his mother sees the garbage bag and puts it out for the garbage truck. Don’t fret though. Woody’s there to save the day! But he’s too late to save them himself. But the toys save themselves. They get into the toy donation bin inside Andy’s mother’s car. Woody tries to discourage them from going to daycare, which he thinks is horrible. However, all of them get driven there and donated. They are greeted by Lotso Huggin Bear, a friendly old bear that smells of strawberries. Anyway, Woody escapes, which he later learns is a nearly impossible feat. Because all is not what it seems, for Lotso is turned evil many years ago when he and his two friends, a baby doll named Big Baby and a clown named Chuckles. He crossed miles and miles to get back to his owner, but learned he had been replaced by another Lotso. Since his owner liked him the best, Lotso cracked. He told them all that they were ALL replaced. Chuckles wasn’t fooled, but Big Baby was. That was when they got to the day care. Lotso turned it into an evil hierarchy and put himself at the top. Chuckles was broken and escaped, though Big Baby became Lotso’s chief henchperson. Anyway, enough backstory. Woody just happens to escape into the house Chuckles lives in and learns of the evil crimes that take place in the daycare, such as the new toys being quickly put on the slaughter list and are sent to the young children’s room, who’s residents would break any toy in a week and be incinerated at the dump after being trashed. Meanwhile Lotso and his henchpeople live in comfort and luxury with the older kids. Woody must save his fellow toys and they all must get back to Andy’s house.


Other:

When a movie makes you feel, that movie is just pure AWESOMENESS! And this movie was one of those movies. I was happy to see the resolution and a almost cried when some sad things happened. So as far as feeling, this movie was great.

Conclusion:

The movie was awesome. Pretty obvious, seeing as ALL of Pixar’s movies are awesome. The only thing I didn’t like was that this was (probably) the last Toy Story. I wish there was a Toy Story 4. Then again, one day, they might make it.
