It's been 15 years since the film Toy Story touched the hearts of kids around the world, leading Disney and other studios into the new age of three-dimensional cinema. Now, the story we've followed from our childhood appropriately ends with the realization that all kids have to grow up.
When Andy (John Morris) is ready to ship out for college, he is left with the decision of what to do with the toys he grew up with and keeps locked up in the chest in his room. While Woody (Tom Hanks) struggles with the idea that his old friend is leaving for good, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) and the rest of the gang brust off the dust and accept that it's time to move on. They wind up at Sunnyside Daycare where they meet new toys and feel again what it's like to have the same adventures they used to, but still long for their old owner. With Andy packed and ready to go, the last ticks of their clocks have begun.
The film returns to its roots as a child story, but offers much nostalgia and great emotion that you will keep the old fans watching. Each of these old characters, along with the new ones, are fun to watch and have the same great charm as the toys we know.
The option of 3D also lets you see Toy Story like never before, but its something you could pass on. Its good, but nothing stupendous. The animation on the other hand is as detailed as the other films while still having the cartoon feel that kids will love. It's also accompanied by the same tasteful comedy and music as the other movies, but brought up to date for the time setting.
Yet where the film strongly delivers is in story, themes and performances. Most long awaited sequels don't give the viewers what they were hoping for, but this is certainly an exception. The recurring sense of being neglected is played out for both the kids and adults to understand. Every vocal performance, even from Blake Clark replacing Jim Varney as the voice for Slinky, warms your heart and in some cases will leave you on the verge of heartbreak.
For the closing chapter of this story, Toy Story 3 doesn't kid around. Every member of the family will enjoy what is certainly a great Disney classic for the year 2010.
