Toy story 3

I've seen this twice and loved it. Spanish Buzz is fab and I liked it when Barbie has tied Ken up and is 'torturing' him by ripping up his clothes.

:D

My 3 yr old daughter loved Big Baby, Jessie and Barbie. My 4 yr old son loved Buzz, Woody and the aliens (my fave).

The claaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw
 
I went to see it last night at the IMAX. It just made it feel so much more spectacular - especially the opening sequence. Very emotional in parts too.

Also loved the short that's shown with it Day & Night (?) - probably the best short Pixar have done with the Magician one (that was with Wall*E) being a close second.
 
That's because the actual content in the film had depth rather than just what you were looking at. TS3 wasn't a 'made for 3D viewing' film, it's just that the technology was available and the marketing side of things decided to go to town on advertising the fact that it was being shown in 3D. The title shouldn'tve read 'Toy Story 3 3D,' it should've simply been 'Toy Story 3' - with a side note saying it was showing in 2D and 3D :) ... but then less people would pay money to see it, of course.
 
Great references to the first two films though story was very much along the lines of TS2 with the power crazed prospector et al.

Cried at the end - more than I should have probably!

My five year old absolutely broke her heart at the end, bless :cry:
 
No it was shot in 3D, (I've seen a video on wired demonstrating how it was done) - but the idea was not to be in your face with the 3D, rather to use it to enhance the overall story telling.

I've yet to see it, and to be honest I will see it in 2D since I do not believe 3D adRAB much to films and will be avoiding that in future.
 
Just got back, WOW! utterly fantastic, the ending was really quite beautiful as well as the scene mentioned in spoiler tags above ^. What a perfect trilogy.
 
I see what you mean. i imagined them getting melted down in that scene, and starting from scratch or different toys, updated for the youth of today. ie RABi, playstation etc
Not knowing what went on before.
How to be a toy!
As with the aliens. they are the Ewoks of the 21st century. They're just there. cute, but always there when you need them.
Then again, it would be too dark for a kiRAB film
 
I watched the second film the other day before seeing the third yesterday and didn't notice a difference.

I saw some behind the scenes stuff on youtube and wondered which character she voiced
 
It touches the earlier films, plot-wise, granted...but quite tenuously enough. I would never think I was watching the same movie twice. They're all part of one big story which, if you look hard enough, have great paralels with human experience.

Taking a step back from themes and the like, I thought the film was beautiful :) I was immensely touched by 'Up', but I didn't cry. However, I grew up with Toy Story (I was 4 or 5 when the first one came out), and Toy Story 2 was the last ever film I saw in my local cinema before it was closed down because the building had to be condemned. After campaigning and restoration, it was reopened last year and Toy Story 3 is the first film I've seen there. Kinda fitting! :D

Anyway, crying...yes, I did. I welled up at the incinerator scene, and I had tears filling my glasses up during Andy's farewell. I'm proud to say so, too, because it means the animators did their job fantastically. I mean, how do these guys do it?! I was more moved by several plastic-y CGI characters than by any human actor! Maybe its because real faces have lives away from the camera which (especially if they're famous faces) take you further away from the film's heart, so to speak. Woody and Buzz's faces were made for Toy Story only, and that helps a lot!
 
I was planning to take my 5 year old daughter to see this, she's never been to the cinema before but she's seen the first 2 films on DVD. I've read some reviews that said it isn't suitable for young children (and I noticed today the Toy Story 3 Wii game is for over 7's). Could someone who has been please tell me if it will be ok for a 5 year old's first trip to the cinema or not? Thanks!
