genre: Animation, Comedy, Family

After not only fan demand but also small pressure from Disney, Pixar finally made Toy Story 3 a reality. Any fan of Toy Story should consider themselves lucky that Pixar made the film and not another animation company as it was initially going to happen. But now that it has all went well, Toy Story 3 is a funny as ever, packs more punches than action and adventure of late and proves to be if it a very satisfying conclusion to one of the best movie series ever created.

The toys newest adventure is survival. Now with Andy off to college. the toys place in his life is at question. Their fate is either the garbage dump or Andy's attic. Panic amongst them over their fate brings them to a daycare center called Sunnyside, run by Lotso the bear. There they will be in toy hell and paradise. Their future will depend on their friendship and the realization that Andy never wanted them to be harmed but loved and taken care of.

The toys adventure is incredible. Pixar outdid themselves once again in showing that they are probably the best and the most consistent studio out there in providing high quality products. The visuals of the film are outstanding and beautiful. The animation of the toys faces, people's reactions and movements are pitch perfect and look realistic and natural. I don't think the day will come that I will not be astounded by this company.

Leaving the film I was thrilled with the experience of the toys in adventure once again. Pixar had a good story to tell and did it perfectly. Drama with toys is hard to come by. But some of the scenes in Toy Story 3 cant have not made your heart pound hard for the fate of the lovely and memorable characters. Pixar is a company that knows what they are doing every step of the way. This is the company that managed to make us love a robot, a rat and toys and make us feel touched and shed a tear for them.

To conclude, Toy Story 3 is filled with glorious moments that never let you down. I fully recommend to anyone to see this film as it will be one of the best films of the year. The only fear I might have is of the future of the franchise. The way the film ended makes it seems difficult for a fourth film to be made. As it seems like a bad idea due to the trap of repeating themselves. But nonetheless to infinity and beyond!
