Toy Story 3

 

What Jack Says...

I am a little ashamed to say it, but I really had zero desire to see this movie. When I heard they were making yet another Toy Story movie I was figuring it was just going to be another bad sequel. I'm not a huge fan of the second one at all. I am happy to inform you that I was wrong about this installment.

Hari saw this movie in the theater and she cried hard. Sorry for outing you Hari. I couldn't figure out what could be so sad and all Hari told me was "Andy does right by them." I was thoroughly confused and then of course I waited to for DVD to see it.

I love Barbie so all the Barbie stuff rocked my world. There are toys in this movie that I forgot even existed. It is sad because the new generation of kids have no idea how nostalgic this movie really is and they just won't "get it". It is hard to commend production design in an animated movie, but this one was flawless. Just look in the background the next time you watch it, especially in the classroom scenes. You will see things that are completely obsolete in classrooms now, but were in every classroom "when we were kids." Oh god, I just got old. Yep, right this second. 

I'm not ashamed to say I cried hard during this movie not once, but at two points of the film. I was sort of a whimpering idiot both times I watched it. This movie was so good I watched it two days in a row. It certainly deserves all the nominations it had and all the awards that were won.

This was good family fun even for people without kids. I urge everyone to watch it because it is certainly a blast from the past. Oh, and I agree, Andy does do right by them.

 

I give it a 9. I would watch it again many times over.

P.S. How scary is Big Baby. Gaaaaahhhhh!
