Toy Story 3 Movie Review (Revised)

First let me start by saying I don't really have the chance to get to the theaters to watch a lot of movies lately except when I'm surrounded by twelve year old girls so it's either an obnoxious teen movie or a children's story. One that seems to stick out the most would be Toy Story 3. I know this may not be a college students first choice, but i have to admit that there was no set age limit watching this particular movie.

Toy Story 3 would hands down fall under at least three different genres. Adventure, comedy, and animation would describe this movie the most. As a big fan of the Toy Story series I believe to have claimed this one as my favorite. In my opinion today's children movies especially most animated, have stepped up there levels to seek attention from not only entertaining children but now groups of all different ages making them more and more interesting to sit through.

Toy Story 3 was based on a plot not usually used in most children's movies. It was not actually based on a young child, but one that actually had grown up and was becoming a responsible young adult. Andy, now seventeen had grown out of his life long friends and was now in the process of going off to college. His mother stressing the fact that it was now time to move on from his childish ways and it was surely time for his small buddies to go and become a treasure for someone else. As Andy boxes up his toys and sets them aside, mom mistakenly picks them up to take them away.

The toys, Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Bullseye, and the rest of the gang are now donated to a near by daycare center by the name of Sunnyside. Entering there new home they are welcomed by a large cuddly teddy bear by the name of Lots-O-Huggin Bear who speaks to them pleasantly, making them feel quite welcomed. In all actuality the bear was quite manipulative and the toughest guy in the place. His cold heart beginning years ago when he was abandoned by a little girl that loved him unconditionally lost him and soon replaced Lotso with another bear, an event that left him shattered and bitter.

Woody, now strongly feeling a sense of urgency to return to the place they originally call home and Andy, the other toys, now overly excited chooses to stay now feeling a sense of need from the surrounding children. Lotso begins to instantly feel that the best place for the toys would be with the smaller more destructive children that would shred the new toys to pieces. Buzz then takes it amongst himself to express a despite cry foe help by asking Lotso to transfer them to the older kids. At that time Lotso resist but likes Buzz therefore recruiting him as a solo member to join his well built army. Buzz now returned to his dramatic yet crazy space ranger mode has absolutely no idea of whats going on.

Although not an easy task Woody has the chance to escape and is picked up by a young girl by the name of Bonnie. Introduced to her toys Woody gets complete feedback of whats in store at Sunnyside, new he didn't exactly wish to hear.

With a plan greatly thought out Woody decides to take action and rescue his buddies. While Sunnyside is surrounded by what appears to be a well equipped security system. Woody knows that unless he has full cooperation this was not going to be easy.

In this movie I don't feel that there were many stereotypical issues. Maybe just the minor one insinuating that the largest amongst the toys was yet the most evil one.

While watching this film I was surely able to laugh and understand the adventurous parts of the movie. This movie can easily be compared to The Incredibles and Shrek the 3rd for just as much excitement. The animation was outstanding as usual and the fact that they took the movie and went into a completely different direction that the other Toy Story films was a really big plus for me. In my opinion this movie is surely worth seeing regardless of how old you are.
