Toy Story 3 (2010) [Movie Review]


Ahh, nostalgia. Probably the greatest animated series comes to an end. And yet another sad-happy ending at that.

As most of you probably know, Andy is heading off to college in this thrilling sequel. He must choose what he wants to do with his old toys. Attempting to put them in the attic, a mix-up lands the toys in the donation pile, and brought to the Sunnyside Daycare center. Now the gang must fight their way out of daycare if they want to be with Andy again. Or should they stay in daycare? They get played with in daycare. This will be a tough decision for our favorite toys.

God, I love Toy Story. And I'm apparently not the only that thinks so, the series has (to my knowledge) the highest rating on Rotten Tomatoes. With Toy Story holding a 100%, Toy Story 2 holding a 100% and Toy Story 3 holding a 99%, it's a tough trilogy to beat.

But sadly, even though I loved this installment, it wasn't quite as good as I had hoped. The plot structure was seemingly identical to part 2 of our series. Well I guess most of the series has been about one group of toys rescuing another group of toys, but this one just seemed like a remake of Toy Story 2, in a way. Only with much more emotion. I had heard this film was sad, but I wasn't expecting what I received. If you enjoyed the rest of the Toy Story series, I would highly recommend picking this one up.

Rating: 8/10
