![]() ![]() Plus, in this final scenes we get the fulfillment of the 2 promises made at the beginning of the film creating a nice sense of closure to the film. ![]() In many ways it is kind of like the end of the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh when Christopher tells Pooh that he can’t do nothing any more even though it is what he loves most of all. There’s no reason to assume Andy would be any less attached to these toys.īut even if you set that reality aside saying goodbye to the toys is symbolic of Andy saying goodbye to his childhood and I think he knows that. If I had to give them up I would cry because my Grandma gave them to me. I’m not the most nostalgic person in the world but even I have dolls displayed proudly in my room and I’m 34 years old. This is the era of grown men collecting Funko dolls and displaying them proudly. Maybe in a previous era it might have been but this is the era of adults trick-or-treating and dressing up for comicon. Some may say it is unrealistic for a college student to play with his toys one last time but I don’t think it is. Most of the humor comes from Buzz who gets put on his Spanish setting (so funny!). Unfortunately all is not sunny at the daycare and the next section of the movie turns into a prison escape story but it never gets serious for too long. They are also welcomed by the leader of Sunnyside, a bear named Lots-O (for Lots-O-Huggin’ Bear) voiced by Ned Beatty. They will get played with again after 10 years in dust and that seems pretty great. That Andy will play with them one more time.īut both seem like an impossibility because Andy wants to take Woody to college with him and the rest are accidentally sent to a daycare center called Sunnyside as a donation by Andy’s Mom.Īt first the daycare seems like a pretty great setup for the toys. ![]() Andy’s Toys are a family and while they’ve lost some they stick together as best as they can.Ģ. In the opening scenes they lay out two key themes for the rest of the movie:ġ. Can you?Īnyway, in this film we are 11 years after the events of Toy story 2 and just as you might expect Andy has grown up and is off to college. Return of the King, Indiana Jones and Last Crusade may be better but that’s all I can think of. It may just be the best 3rd installment in a franchise ever. I love Toy Story 3! I mean this was me after watching it yesterday!Īnd yet I was also laughing and enjoying the tense moments so it isn’t just a cryfest. But I didn’t let anyone else’s opinions affect any of my other reviews so why should my nieces feelings be any different. I don’t have that luxury with Toy Story 3. At least with the Pinocchio review I was taking into account only what I thought of it as a child not other children. What do you think?Īnyway, in the end I can only review a movie based on what I think of it. How much does a child’s opinion count in reviewing an animated film? We know that animation isn’t just for children but in the same breath if they don’t like it isn’t that a problem? I don’t know. In many ways the issue is the same with Toy Story 3. So I gave Pinocchio a B+ and I’ve gone back and forth on it ever since. I appreciate it but I can’t give it my highest rating because of how I know it affected me as a child. It can be scary for kids and has a grim overall feel. Pinocchio is visually gorgeous with good, if heavy-handed moral teachings. I had the same struggle with my Pinocchio review, which in my defense was only the 2nd review I had ever written but at the time I said: It is a film that gets very intense, too intense for my nieces and I didn’t know how much to take that into account. They both love clothes and other ridiculous things.I’ve struggled in writing my review for Toy Story 3 because my nieces hate it. It’s cliche, it’s stereotypic but it’s really cute too. It’s also pretty sweet when Barbie meets Ken. In Spanish impresario mode he falls in love with Jessie which is hilarious. One of the funniest scenes in all three movies has to be when Buzz’s settings are changed to Spanish mode. They remain true and faithful to each other throughout their various ordeals. The toys continue to band together and look after each other. Woody and the other toys witness Andy’s departure as theyīegin their new lives with Bonnie. Initially hesitant, Andy passes Woody on to Bonnie, and they play togetherīefore he leaves. Is at the bottom of the donation box and Bonnie recognizes him. Woody has already made plans for the toys to go to Bonnie, including himself.Īndy, who, thinking the note is from his mother, donates the toys to Bonnie.Īndy introduces the toys individually to Bonnie, and to Andy’s surprise, Woody All sorts of commotion ensues because Lotso is desperate for them not to leave and will do anything to stop them.įollowing quite a dark scene which I will talk to below, the toys manage to escape and get home to Andy. ![]()
