  Emotional, Colourful and Touching. The best of a series that will be remembered by audiences for years and years to come.

  From the magic that filled our hearts the first time around, and dazzled us with epic proportions of emotion in the second, comes this undeniably heart felt tale of a boy who is all grow up and off to college. He can't decide what he wants to do with all his toys and he chooses Woody (his first toy) to stay with him. But, it's not that simple, things just get much more complicated from there. From being ripped and torn, to licked and chewed, to escaping from evil toys, Woody and the gang go through rough times. Andy departs for college and something unexpected happens that ends this beautiful trilogy off in the best way possible. Nothing less than the first and no more than what the second had in store. All three masterpieces lie in the same boat, when I say: "These movies should be shelved in everyones home as a collectors item in mint form and cherished forever. Pixar never seizes to amaze me, but the gags, emotions, and stories that the toys brought to the audience all over the planet will never be touched for as long as I see a movie in my life. This series began with a dream, and ended in reality. Yes, it is sad to see the series end, but knowing that it ended so well and being able to watch them over and over and over again seems like enough to me. I could talk about this film for days and never run out of way to compliment this franchise, but in one word that will take anyones breath away to describe this movie in the least amount of sympathy possible, is: dumbfoundingly, electrifyingly, flabbergastedly, impressively, movingly, Astonishing. A work of art that will never be touched. Final Comments: It is worth crying over, to see how amazing a child' s life is when he loves something so much and has to give it up. Definitely an affectionate movie at heart, and will move families of all ages for generations, and generations to come. Let's celebrate this milestone as a work of art in cinematic history. Thank You Pixar, for brining a story worth telling, to an end, with style. TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!! :)

  Buzz Lightyear: We're going in the attic now, folks. Keep your accessories with you at all times. Spare parts, batteries, anything you need for an orderly transition.  "No toy gets left behind." Toy Story 3 is the perfect ending to the most beloved animated franchise ever, that everyone was hoping for. The movie is a lot of things. It is entertaining, funny, insightful, touching and sad. It is also the only animated prison drama I have ever seen.  All the characters are back from the first two, with some exceptions. Some were lost along the years like Bopeep and Etch-o-Sketch, but the core group is still together in 17 year old Andy's toy chest. I don't know what 17 year old kid keeps his childhood toys in his room, but that is a discussion for another time. Andy is going off to college and decides to put all the toys in the attic with one exception; he will be taking Woody to college with him. When a mistake is made and all the toys are thrown out, they decide to go to a daycare that is ran by a huge Teddy bear named Lotso. He is the dictating warden and isn't as nice as he looks. From there it is an escape movie, with a lot of humorous and touching plot developments along the way. The film is all about growing up, moving on and leaving things behind. Andy has grown up with these toys and the toys have been with him for years also. It is hard for both to move on and start their new lives. Andy's struggles with moving on with his toys is pretty insightful as to the experience of leaving for college. Although with real people the issue of what is being left behind is normally not toys.  I don't if I like this one more than the first, but I know I like it more than the second. I would have to go re-watch the first, since I haven't seen it in years; to make that decision. I can say that I couldn't see an ending to animated franchise being any better than this. Pretty much perfect in every way. Woody: So long... partner.

  The only Toy Story I have seen at an age that I really know what is going on, and I am glad I did. A great blend of comedy, action and emotion makes this one of the best Pixar films ever, and that is saying a lot.

  Pixar can really end a franchise with a bang and they truly delivered with this concluding classic to the Toy story series. All the core actors are back to reprise their roles (Except Jim Varney as Slinky R.I.P.) and they all do just as good as they did in the first and second film.… More
  Pixar can really end a franchise with a bang and they truly delivered with this concluding classic to the Toy story series. All the core actors are back to reprise their roles (Except Jim Varney as Slinky R.I.P.) and they all do just as good as they did in the first and second film. The animation is improved over the second film, and it looks spectacular, and this film was well worth being nominated for best picture last year for the academy awards. The music is fantastic, now I think Randy Newman is an okay song recorder, and whenever you put him in front of a Piano he will create gold. The new inclusions of characters were great, and all the new actors such as Michael Keaton (Batman, BeetleJuice,) Ned Beatty (Rango, Superman II,) and Jodi Benson (Little Mermaid) who all do fantastic jobs as these characters and are fun and energetic actors to watch in other films. Overall the film has fantastic animation, great characters, and great music. Now If only the company can get there crap back together after Cars 2.

  Toy Story 3 is the best in the series, the best animated film of the year, and one of the greatest films ever. The film begins years after Toy Story 2, where Woody and Buzz andthe gang have not been played with in years and Andy is soon going off to college. When they are mistakenly put into a trash bag and almost killed, they stow away into a daycare box and are sent to Sunnyside Day Care. At first it seems like a paradise, when they meet a pink fluffy bear named Lotso who seems nice. But when the children turn out to be abusive and very rough, they ask Lotso to swith to a safer room, but he turns out to be evil and keeps them trapped there. The toys must figure out how to escape and get to Andy before he leaves. The plot of Toy Story 3 is a love letter to lifelong fans of the series, and is a thrill ride of laughs and amazing and beautiful scenes, with a ending that will leave you with tissues covering your tears. the voice acting is just as amazing as we remember, with new great voice actors Micheal Keaton and Ned Beatty. The animation is incredible, and is so far the best animation POixar has seen. This movie is my favorite animated film of all time, and I can honestly call this about my 8th favorite film ever made.

  It's happened. It's finally happened.<br/><br/>We were five when Sheriff Woody and Buzz Lightyear first materialized onto the crackling celluloid screen of our childhoods, and nine when we realized how quickly, in a heartbeat, they could be taken away from us. We are now 20.<br/><br/>And Pixar knows it. In what could be considered the smartest marketing decision of the decade, the company spent the brunt of April on a nationwide college campus tour, screening an abridged, "cliffhanger" version of its newest jewel, "Toy Story 3." Because, although in some small way the film might be an opportunity for society's newly-minted children to traverse to infinity and beyond, we all know that in a larger sense, this one was made for us.<br/><br/>At 17, Andy is all grown up and leaving for college. As he begins the interminable task of stuffing his life into hundreds of cardboard boxes, he pauses at his toy chest, glancing into the plastic, immovable eyes of his old friends Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Bullseye, Hamm, Rex and the rest of the gang. From this moment, he faces the decision that every young adult must make. Where do they all go from here: to college, in the attic or into the trash?<br/><br/>And just like that, we're back with our dusty old friends as if it were yesterday. But somehow, just as we've changed, they've changed. The first thing we notice about them, these toys that we cherished like superheroes, is that they've become disposable. Their voices sound wearied and desperate as they creakily move around in their own skins for the first time in eleven years. Their hair has become scribbled with paint drips, their glass shattered by grabby little toddlers. They are, in a word, vulnerable.<br/><br/>Following a series of misunderstandings, the toys find themselves trapped inside the Sunnyside Daycare Center, an ominous prison ruled with an iron fist by the strawberry-scented Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear (Ned Beatty, "Superman") and the metrosexual, Michael Keaton-voiced Ken doll. In a well-constructed caper sequence with tension rivaling Steve McQueen's "The Great Escape," the gang embarks on an exhilarating breakout from Sunnyside.<br/><br/>Once again, Pixar proves itself to be the master of storytelling, maintaining its agile grip on narrative structure and raw emotion.<br/><br/>"Toy Story 3" is romantic, it's hilarious and it's suspenseful. A reprogrammed Buzz, in full-on Latin lover mode, ravishes cowgirl Jessie in a passionate tango. Mr. Potato Head, with his features shakily splayed onto a flour tortilla, partakes in a rather ugly battle with a hungry bird. Watching the security cameras with bated breath, Woody and Slinky edge closer and closer to the cymbal-wielding monkey guard.<br/><br/>At this point, it would be appropriate to note the film's incredible, hyper-kinetic, jaw-dropping (etc.) animation sequences, but who are we kidding? "Toy Story 3" is so past the point of children's territory, we forget altogether that it's an animated film. What's more, "Toy Story 3" is tragic: Upon a dizzyingly steep drop into the roaring incinerator, the toys frantically scramble through the garbage heap, searching for scrap pieces of metal. It's tender: Staring straight into the inferno of death, they realize that the only thing they can do is to hold onto each other. It's heartwrenching: In the last 15-minute sequence, Andy plays with his old friends for the very last time. Like "Finding Nemo" or "The Incredibles," "Toy Story 3" is about family. Like "Wall-E," it's about mass commercialism. And most importantly, it's about us.<br/><br/>Somehow, Pixar manages to take all the emotions associated with growing up and helps us come to that moment of realization that there's a part of us that doesn't want to be left behind. Back then, our toys were our superheroes not because they were shiny or new or equipped with cool gadgets, but because they loved us unconditionally. And as for us, if we would only reciprocate that love for a little while, circling back into childhood for that one brief second, that would be enough for them.<br/><br/>Damn you, Randy Newman. Damn you, Pixar. You've officially made the most exquisite film of the year, a stellar encapsulation of abandonment, love, loss and rebirth - all told through plastic figurines. There's a reason why the studio's collective trophy cabinet is studded with naked gold men: This company is capable of grabbing onto our hearts and yanking the strings in just the right way. Already there's a whisper, just a whisper that Pixar might take the big prize home with them on Oscar night. Although it seems unlikely for that event to ever happen, there's not a movie that would deserve it more.

  The Moody Blues did a song with the lyric "with the eyes of child you will see". What comes to mind is that unfiltered imagination of a child, and truly, Toy Story 3 has that magical quality going for it. Indeed, what is "art" but an attempt to express a vision of the world around you. From the opening sequence, a look into the imagination of the boy Andy, TS3 brings you into the magical world of imagination. I recall Saturday morning cartoons where commercials implored children to "imagine yourself as...." (As if a child needs help in that direction). The script to TS3 basically tells the story of growing up - Andy is now ready for college, and certainly no longer has time to play with all his old favorite toys (or reading between the lines, he no longer has time to "imagine"). The toys wonder if they are still loved by Andy (hoping to be put in the attic, which means Andy still loves them, rather than out on the street or given away). Really, this is not a children's film, although there is enough action and all the toys so many grew up with from the first films - the tone is really much darker here, as the toys end up in a day care center where they are virtual prisoners to a warped sociopath bear and his rather scary henchman "big baby". Turning the play yard of the day care center into a prison camp is just one of hundreds of examples of imagination set free. The film contains acts of heroism, a chance at redemption for the purple bear (who is quite a complex character and ultimately turns his back when given a chance to redeem himself), and some truly funny scenes (Buzz Lightyear has a switch that changes his language from English to Spanish - which of course allows him to act like a Latin Lothario... hilarious!). The ending has a certain poignancy as the toys bid farewell to Andy, and to us. Thanks for letting us grow up with you, and thanks for reminding us to embrace that childlike part of us where there is joy and creativity all around us.

  Third and final part in the Toy Story saga. Toy Story 3 is an incredible film that the whole family can love. I thoroughly enjoyed this third and final entry, and upon finishing it, I realized that I grew up watching these films, and it has stood the test of time. I was 10 years old when the original came out, and every film has been something new, exciting and amusing for the entire family. I haven't seen a Pixar film that has yet to suck. This third entry shows that Andy is all grown up, and going to college so the toys gets accidentally shipped off to a daycare center, where Lotso a cuddly bear has turned the daycare center into a prison camp for toys. They escape and return to Andy. Thus begins yet another crazy adventure involving Andy's toys. I'm fairly biased towards this trilogy because, well I grew up with the first and I thoroughly enjoyed it. When I first saw the film back in 1995, I was blown away and it became a childhood favorite. Now, nearly twenty years after it's initial release, this incredible story has come to a close. Toy Story 3 has everything you'd expect from a Toy Story adventure and more. The film is excellent. What stuns me is how Pixar were able to keep their ideas consistent, original and fresh to create an impressive and wonderful final third film. Toy Story 3 is funny, poignant and is entertainment that the whole family can enjoy. This is yet another great film from the creative team at Pixar. Something that everyone can relate to.

  I hate it. Don't get me wrong. I hate it because I ended up with my eyes bulging. Damn, I really had a hard time stopping the tears from streaming down my face. And yes, shame on me for having watched this film just recently. I've had already watched the preceding chapters but it was pretty hard to remember because I was just a child who wasn't too critical with movies way back then. But it didn't really matter, I still enjoyed it. I suddenly became nostalgic. This may sound silly, but the thought of rummaging our attic to look for my toys hit me. It paved a way for me to reminisce and realize that I was once a child who saw the world as a big playground. Why did many people liked and cried over this movie? A rational reason would be because we've been "Andys" for once in our lives. Though it was painful to watch; this movie has unraveled once again the child in the hearts of its viewers. Age doesn't matter in this film. The story was splendid and the makers of the movie sure know how to touch people's hearts. The ending was great though I wish they added a few more scenes. It's a fantastic animation and it deserved all the praises it got. The story was relatable. I will re-watch Toy Story and Toy Story 2 soon. Each of the characters was memorable and the strong friendship the toy characters had established and portrayed was enviable. For those who haven't watched it yet who maybe as fragile as me and are planning to watch it, here's a friendly advice: Go get a tissue before you watch.

What really grabs you is that the franchise grows with it's viewers and doesn't bother sugar coating or "child-proofing" the themes and ideas needed to be addressed in this final chapter. Full of heart, emotion, depth, witty humor, blahblahblah we all know Pixar's track record. Kudos for delivering a timeless hat-trick.

Truly, this film is one the top films of the year right alongside The Social Network and The King's Speech. This film is pure gold! <br/>Pixar's finest accomplishment!

  What kind of miserable bastard would dislike a Toy Story movie? It's genius to me that these movies can transcend age and be enjoyable to everyone watching. It's excellent animation, great storytelling, and characters that you can relate to. What's even more fun about this chapter, is that it's essentially a jailbreak movie. Nice. If you think you're too cool for Toy Story, I'm here to remind you that you're not. Watch this.

  I don't know what to say really. Toy Story 3 really didn't do it for me the first time around at all. Maybe because it basically refused to be the movie I wanted to see and the fact that it makes you cry for nearly a half an hour. The thing is, this really is a great movie. Even though it's still my least favorite in the series and it has a few problems, I can't deny that it wasn't an extremely powerful trip into nostalgia. You have to hand it to Tom Hanks; he's literally such a good actor that he can get you all choked up for an animated plastic toy. For all of these movies, he's really been the one to make these characters as powerful as they are and become as treasured as they are. Also, it's kind've amazing that you almost forget about the animation here. It's literally so well done that you just take it for granted. Pixar did an amazing job with this; it's the most polished and "film" looking of the three movies. The glimmer from the furniture, lens flare and the way they capture motion is outrageous. Now the things I wasn't crazy about are still a bit bothersome, but not impossible to deal with. This time, for a villain we got Lotso who is essentially the same person as "Stinky Pete" Prospector. It's almost if Ned Beatty was trying to rip Kelsy Grammer's tour-de-force right under our noses. If it weren't for the highly effective and emotionally disturbed Big Baby to pick up the slack (who is by far the most complex and heartbreaking Toy Story character), you'd essentially have a movie without a villain/antagonist. I also could have done without the 20 minute death scene at the junkyard. Not only is it ripped right out of John Lasseter's previous work on Brave Little Toaster, it's unnecessary to see these toys suffer so much and have such a morbid outlook on life. However, once Andy comes back and sends Woody and the gang off to live a new life, proper waterworks begin to appear and you feel genuinely amazed at the effectiveness this series has had on someone who's been a fan since age 6. When all is said and done, Toy Story 3 is not quite everything it should be, but is still one beautiful movie most of the time.

  Grade A+ (100%) In 1995 we were given a real treat. We saw our toys come to life and treat each other as family. It showed us jealously and how to bring a new member into a family. That was the first Toy Story. Four years later, the sequel came out that brought Woody and Buzz back into our hearts. The movie showed how a family would always look for the missing person in their lives and continue searching forever until found. Eleven years later . . . Toy Story 3 is a rare third film of a trilogy that truly shines among everything else. If we remember in our lifetime, the second sequel usually never works (Godfather Part III, Spiderman 3, X-Men 3, Return of the Jedi to name a few) but every once and a while you are surprised. Toy Story 3 not only surprised me, but the film stuck with me. The film starts off with a huge battle - Woody and Buzz are trying to save orphans on a speeding train while trying to capture One Eyed Potato Head and Evil Dr. Porkchop - a battle sequence that seemed out of place at first; then we are switched to Andy's mom holding a video camera. It's Andy using his imagination as a teenager. Everything seems happy and great, until the music echoes out and Woody and the gang are desperately trying to get Andy (now a 17 year old getting ready for college) to play with them. It fails. Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) try to get everyone ready for the attic until an accident occurs that makes them believe that Andy wanted to throw them out. While Woody tries to tell them the truth, they deny it and jump into a donation box that Andy's mom was going to take to a day care center. The day care center is ran by a Lots-o'-Huggin Bear who seems to be nice (not including the strawberry scent of his fur), but when the toys are treated unfairly they soon realize that they are being held prisoner. The movie is full of entertainment that everyone will enjoy. But what the movie tries to tell us, along with Randy Newman's Academy Award winning song "We Belong Together", that whenever a family is facing hard times, they will be together forever. The gang tries to stick together throughout the whole film and is shown in the last twenty minutes of the film which is, in my opinion, the saddest part of the movie. One scene they are holding hands as they face a brutal death and the other is whether Woody should jump into the college box, which would mean that he would be with Andy, or jump into the attic box and be with his true family. Toy Story 3, the winner of Best Animated Film of 2010 and nominated for Best Picture, is a fantastic movie with a dark plot and true emotion. I shed a tear at the end of the film as I remembered my childhood and remembering the original Toy Story along with Toy Story 2. Now I see that the trilogy has come to an end, but an ending that truly stands out. Toy Story 3 is no pushover - this film hits you with everything it has and when those credits roll, you will feel a great deal of emotion. The journey has ended between the gang and Andy but the toys will live on together as a family. "So long partner." - Woody Toy Story (1995) - 100% Toy Story 2 (1999) - 100% Toy Story 3 (2010) - 100%
