I do have to say that I didn’t expect this movie to be as good as Parts 1 & 2. Part 3 always declines in quality, doesn’t it? Well, Toy Story 3 broke that trend.
The premise is that Andy, the little boy in the previous films, is going to college. He has to decide what he is taking with him, what to give away and what to put it in the attic for long term storage. So he goes through his toy box and throws Woody in his college box and puts the rest in a trash bag. A bit of confusion ensues and the toys end up in the trash for pick up and Woody, of course, has to rescue them.
They end up at Sunnyside Day Care Center and boy are they happy! They will be played with every single day except weekends. They think they will be happy at the daycare center. Boy, do they turn out to be wrong!
We meet some new toy characters. Barbie finally meets Ken. Big Baby, Lotso, Trixie and Mr. Pricklepants are also introduced. We also meet a sweet little girl named Bonnie, the daughter of the daycare center. Not all of the characters are what they seem though!
Sinister plans, adventure and love are the main plot points and the ending will have you in goosebumps, if not tears.
Do NOT miss this movie. The 3D effects are awesome, but I don’t believe necessary to the movie. I also predict a Toy Story 4: The Next Generation.
VERDICT: Rush out and see it if you haven’t. A fun time for the entire family!
