Toy Story 3

Today I went to see Toy Story 3 at AMC Colonial 18 in Lawrenceville Georgia. I paid $10 for a ticket (-$1 for being a student…whoa), and saw the movie at 7:20 P.M.

My Review: I loved the first two Toy Story movies and watched them many times as a child. I have very fond memories of the series from my childhood. This movie was a bit too serious to me. It had more negative themes and sad tones. I wish that they would have made it happier and more positive, after all it is a children’s movie. I felt that the makers of this movie tried to please their “old” Toy Story audience instead of the children that were begging their parents to see it. Looking at the movie as an adult, it was good. It had a strong storyline and was entertaining until the end. It had happy, sad, dramatic, and serious moments. It was very dynamic and entertaining for adults. Out of 5 stars, I would probably give it 3.5 stars

Plot Summary: The movie was centered on the fate of Andy’s old toys when he went off to college. The main goal was to go to college with Andy, but only Woody made it into the “college” box. Of course Woody cannot leave his friends so he ventures out to get his lost friends that accidentally got confused for trash by Andy’s mother. The toys all escape the trash and end up being donated to a daycare where they are mistreated by toddlers that are not old enough to properly care for toys.

The Daycare is an anarchic system run by toys that were lost and forgotten and ended up at the daycare long before Andy’s toys arrived. I won’t give away the ending, but in the end, Andy’s old toys find a new home.
