Toy Story 3
Pixar returns to their first success with Toy Story 3. The movie begins with Andy leaving for college and donating his beloved toys -- including Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz (Tim Allen) -- to a daycare. While the crew meets new friends, including Ken (Michael Keaton), they soon grow to hate their new surroundings and plan an escape. The film was directed by Lee Unkrich from a script co-authored by Little Miss Sunshine scribe Michael Arndt.
Director: Lee Unkrich
Starring: Tom Hanks,Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Ned Beatty, Don Rickles
Toy Story 3 is a salute to the magic of making believe.
Toy Story 3 is a better film than "Wall-E" and "Up" in that it succeeds completely in conventional terms. For 103 minutes, it never takes audience interest for granted. It has action, horror and vivid characters, and it always keeps moving forward.
This installment, the best of the three, is everything a movie should be: hilarious, touching, exciting and clever.
The third film of the trilogy turns out to be gorgeously joyous and deeply felt.
This film becomes the kind of love note to movies we want and need.
