![]() There’s something indescribably pitiable in watching the toys resort to elaborate schemes to manipulate Andy into noticing them. A friend who took his niece to see it in theaters warned me he found it very depressing, and I can see what he meant. Makes me glad I sold all my Transformers and He-Mans to my best friend in a yard sale, where they remain safely to this day in his parents’ basement.Īnd make no mistake, there is a very sad movie buried in between all the jokes. (Not sure I agree with that one.) And Toy Story 3 is teaching our kids that their toys are alive, and if they throw a single one away, that toy is probably going to get incinerated. Cars emphasized that being a self-centered jerk won’t impress girls with lower back tattoos. The Incredibles preached that you can’t (and shouldn’t have to) change who you are. told kids not to be afraid of what’s in their closets. (For the third movie straight, not that I’m counting.) Could this spell the end for the Andy’s Room gang?Īnyone who’s seen more than one of them knows that Pixar movies always have a central message to impart. But Sunnyside has a dark side (ironic, no?) that may make it a lot less appealing, and meanwhile Woody is having problems getting back home. Being played with by a never-ending series of children seems like a dream come true, and Woody quickly finds his friends unwilling to leave. Andy is 17 and leaving for college while he decides to bring Woody along (and wouldn’t I love to see how that plays out… FYI kid, they don’t give single rooms to freshmen), Buzz and the rest are earmarked for storage, which through a series of mishaps turns into donation to Sunnyside Daycare. For those who haven’t seen it, Toy Story 3 finds what’s left of the gang at the end of their function. ![]() I’m only half joking about that, by the way. And the second is that this film is going to spawn an entire generation of hoarders. The first is that it’s a very funny, poignant movie, not just par for the course with Pixar but among their very best. While watching it for the first time, two things struck me. But Pixar only has so many movies, so you can bet Toy Story 3 was at the top of our Christmas list this year, and Santa came through. I doubt our daughter really follows what’s going on, but the characters and voices are funny enough to hold her attention (except you, Wall-E), and the missus and I aren’t losing brain cells faster than a night of huffing lead-based paint. Your average toddler follows complex plotlines only slightly better than does your average network executive, and if I have to watch one more episode of Yo Gabba Gabba, I’m going to put my foot through the TV. If you’ve never thought that’s something you’d want to see, well… trust me, you do.ĭrew’s rating: Los juguetes están de vuelta en la ciudad!ĭrew’s review: As parents of a 2-year-old, my wife and I face a constant struggle to find TV shows and movies that are 1) appropriate for the little one, and 2) will engage her interest AND ours.
