Typically in the movie business, you come up with a great idea, get people excited about the first installment, then phone in a couple of sequels of continually diminishing quality for the cash (Matrix, I’m looking at you).
Somebody forgot to tell Pixar.
Toy Story 3 brings us the next chapter in the lives of our beloved characters, and the story and attention to detail make this installment every bit as good as the first two. In this one, Andy is all grown up and heading off to college, and this of course throws the toy community into a nervous tizzy. As we’ve come to expect from the folks at Pixar, this movie – this cartoon – has more heart, tender moments, and edge-of-your-seat, heart-gripping action than most traditional movies. We come to care about the well developed characters and their pain is our pain…their joy is ours. There is something here for the kids, for the adults, and for the kid in all of us adults. This movie was a real treat, and I cannot recommend it enough.
