This franchise is my childhood! I've grown up collecting the toys, watching the films and sneaking up on toys to see if they are alive. Unlike the Emoji movie this was not a way to advertise stuff although it very well could have. I cannot watch this movie without crying at the end (even adults do)! This is the best peice of art known to man! It will make you smile laugh and cry it's a thing for adults and children I mean how can someone not fall in love with Rex or Ham or slinkey or buzz or it goes on!! This is game changing film!

Andy (John Morris) is now 17 in 2010 and he has graduated from high school as he is off to college, his toys known as Woody (Voiced by Tom Hanks) with Buzz (Voiced by Tim Allen) as well as Jessie (voiced by Joan Cusack), Slinky Dog (Blake Clarke), Bullseye, Hamm (John Ratzenberger), Mr. Potatohead (in one of Don Rickle's final roles), Rex (voiced by Wallace Shawn) and Mrs. Potatohead (Estelle Harris) were suppose to be put in the attic but was mistaken as trash by Andy's mom (Laura Metcliff) yet luckily they escaped out of the trash bag before the truck would pick them up. However as Andy's mom is delivering some stuff to donate to one of the city's local daycare centers, the toys see other toys in the daycare like the butterfly room being taken good care of. However a strawberry- scented grandfatherly and charismatic teddy bear named Lotso (voiced by Ned Betty) who seems like a nice guy to treat all toys as equals has assigned our toy heroes to be in the toddler room where they are abused and sticky as the toddlers are too young for the toys to be played with. Yet Lotso with his baby doll assistant are keeping our fellow toys minus Woody whom escaped luckily as prisoner. So now Woody has to rescue his fellow comrades and try to get back to Andy's house before he leaves to college.A fantastic third installment in the series that manages to be as excellent as the first 2 movies which were instant classics and so will this movie. There are many fantastic trilogies like Star Wars classic trilogy, Indiana Jones, Evil Dead, Fistful of Dollars, Back to the Future and more and this is one of them. After 11 years since 99 when i keep hearing in magazines/the internet about Toy Story 3 it felt like development hell but it finally got greenlighted and boy it felt like it was worth the long wait. The script by Michael Arndt is surprisingly brilliant and full of humor/emotion and energy. Even the direction by Lee Unkrick is nice and the animation is just outstanding/spectacular and even better in 3D which i saw in theaters 4 times and it's an utterly fantastic, well written and impactful sequel. The film co-stars Whoopie Goldberg, Lori Moore, Timothy Dalton as Mr Picklepants, Michael Keaton as Ken, Jodi Benson as Barbi and R Lee Ermy back as Sarge. A totally must see sequel.

I first saw this in theaters in 2010, and I gave it a four out of ten. However, I decided to watch it again 7 years later, and I am lowering my rating to a 3. It still is a decent movie, but as a Pixar movie, I expect a higher standard with films. It brought nothing new to the table, like the first two did. Toy Story was the first computer animated movie, and Toy Story 2 proved that animated sequels could be great, unlike previous straight to DVD Disney sequels. (Mulan 2). As for the third entry, it was just a bunch of nostalgia thrown over a bunch of references thrown over a bunch of conveniences. I mean come on, Woody just happened to find a kite on the roof of Sunnyside. There are many other "well that was lucky" moments in the movie. I do NOT think that this deserves to be in the top 250 movies, as it brings NOTHING that is new and interesting to the film industry, other than the first animated movie to gross $1,000,000,000. I really can't get emotionally moved, let alone attached to any of these characters. It's very similar to Toy Story 2 with it's villain's motivations and appearance. In short, this movie is bad and disappointing. Just because it's nostalgic and filled with references doesn't mean it's a good movie. The inferno scene is emotionless and quickly glossed over. Like this film if you can, I just can't. Final Review: Bad, disappointing, letdown.

The toys are back for another adventure, but the context this time is that Andy is about to go off to college and has to decide what to do with his playthings. When they accidentally get sent to a children's daycare, they find both a new obstacle and a dark story behind some of the toys.I wouldn't call "Toy Story 3" a masterpiece, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. I understand that there's a fourth movie planned. If so, then it will be missing two of the original cast members: Jim Varney died not long after "Toy Story 2" and his role got recast in this movie, while Don Rickles just died a few months ago.And as I always do when discussing one of these movies, I have to discuss the cast. We all know who Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Ned Beatty, Estelle Harris, Michael Keaton, Bonnie Hunt and Whoopi Goldberg are. Wallace Shawn is best known for "My Dinner with Andre"* but also played Vizzini in "The Princess Bride". John Ratzenberger is apparently best known for a role on "Cheers" but I only know him from this franchise. Jodi Benson voiced Ariel in "The Little Mermaid". Timothy Dalton played James Bond in the late '80s, and his Bond is known as the worst (although personally I think that Sean Connery was the ONLY good one). Kristen Schaal and Jeff Garlin are standup comics. Laurie Metcalf plays Sheldon's mom on "The Big Bang Theory" and recently won a Tony for a Broadway performance. R. Lee Ermey is best known as the brutal drill sergeant in "Full Metal Jacket".Anyway, you'll probably like the movie.*My parents met him and Andre Gregory around the time that it got released. The four of them had dinner in a small restaurant and had a philosophical conversation about the movie.
