Description

Andy is 17 years old and headed off to college, meaning he doesn't have a place in his life for childhood things. The toys (save for Woody), fearing they'll be packed away in the attic and forgotten about forever, are mistakenly donated to the local daycare facility. There, their wishes to be played with once again are fulfilled all too well. They also meet a new collection of toys, including Barbie, Ken, Mr. Pricklepants, Chuckles the clown, and the grandfatherly Lots-O' Huggin' Bear, who may not be exactly who he seems to be. When Woody realizes that Andy still wants his toys, it's up to him to stage a daring rescue effort and break his friends out of Sunnyside Day Care.

movie, but nothing special. I didn't really care about it. Two or three days ago, it never would have occurred to me to bother seeing the third one. Then the reviews started to show up, and I thought, "You have got to be kidding me. The movie critic community must be on crack. Or maybe I need to see this movie." And holy crap, it is indeed an amazing movie. It's nearly the same caliber of film-making as Up and Wall-E, the same level of emotional impact. Also: "death by monkeys" is one of the best moments in any Pixar film.

Unlike Godfather III, Toy Story III is superb. It's amazing that they could come up with such a fitting ending for the series without ruining what came before. Sure, the animation is great, it is the acting that brings it off. And the scene in the junkyard will bring tears to your eyes. May we all
