All the familiar faces are back along with some new faces. The toy's owner Andy is headed off to college. The toys including Woody, Buzz, Rex, Hamm, Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head and Jessie are uncertain about their future. After a few misunderstandings the gang ends up at a day care center. They believe it will be toy heaven: always being played with and once the kids outgrow them there is always a new batch of kids coming in to play with them. Upon arrival they begin to dread play time because of how rough the young kids are. They also learn there owner Andy is looking for them. The gang wants to leave but a certain pink stuffed bear won't let them leave. So they must pull of an escape like the ones in prison movies.
Toy Story 3 is a good movie but I believe the first two are superior. I just feel that the first two were funnier and they just came off as more of a surprise. It also seemed to be just a tad dull in the middle but that definitely didn't last long. I believe another factor was that I was 7 when Toy Story 2 came out and 3 when Toy Story came out. I think it was just hard to top years of watching those first two movies which I adored. Toy Story 3 was a great way to end the trilogy. There definitely does not need to be a Toy Story 4. It would probably only hurt the franchise.
Pixar definitely knows how to tell unique stories but ones that everyone can relate to. When you see the toys almost coming to a fiery end and they begin to hold hands it's impossible not to cry. If you do not cry or get watery eyes you are not human. The opening sequence was very entertaining and looked amazing. It looked better than most action films today. I saw this in 3D but once again the 3D does not add or take away anything from the film. Toy Story 3 was good but I just don't think it stands way up there with the first two.
