Toy Story 3 - a Movie Review

 By Magdalen Aithne Arkwright

An awesome comeback!  Woody and the crew burst into the theaters for yet another great film.  In keeping with the original feel and message of the film, the gang wrestle with being neglected as Andy gets older.  Woody holds true to the message he learned the hard way twice - "What's important is that we're here for Andy when he needs us."  But Andy's going to college now and their future remains unclear.  Attic, or trash?  Or maybe college, if they're lucky.  The gang suffer a horrible blow to their self-worth, although Woody assures them it's all a mistake.  They end up at a daycare - yes! tons of kids!  But the novelty of Sunnyside quickly wears off.  How will they escape when an evil toy does all he can to keep them under his control?  And even if they get home, what will happen to them?

In a film that is funny, cute, and mirrors the previous films, all audiences will leave happy.  Skeptics who saw the promotions on Disney Channel will walk out absolutely amazed at what Pixar has done with this.  This movie is not only amusing and reminiscent but is also heart wrenching, and will make you want to dig out your old toys.

Heavier and darker than the first two films, I rate it D (see side panel).  It sounds silly but it's done well and the viewer can really enjoy meeting the gang again.  The theme ties in with the other movies, connecting them all as they should be, and though the drama is a little rough, I believe it is necessary for the film.  Overall, I see 10 out of 10 points.
