MOVIE INFO
"Toy Story 3" welcomes Woody, Buzz and the whole gang back to the big screen as Andy
prepares to depart for college and his loyal toys find themselves in... daycare! These untamed
tots with their sticky little fingers do not play nice, so it's all for one and one for all as plans for
the great escape get underway. A few new faces-some plastic, some plush-join the adventure,
including iconic swinging bachelor and Barbie's counterpart Ken, a thespian hedgehog named
Mr. Pricklepants and a pink, strawberry-scented teddy bear called Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear.

CRITIC REVIEWS FOR TOY STORY 3

All Critics (291) | Top Critics (50) | Fresh (287) | Rotten (4) | DVD (9)

When teenaged Andy plops down on the grass to share his old toys with a shy little girl, the film
spikes with sadness and layered pleasure -- a concise, deeply wise expression of the ephemeral
that feels real and yet utterly transporting.

Village Voice

There are many sweet laughs and joking allusions to horror and prison-break movies, but the
Pixar gang gets at the most primary fear -- being cast off and no longer of use.

I seriously doubt there will be a more hilarious and heartfelt blockbuster all summer.

It's still more inventive, clever and laugh-out-loud funny than any other movie out there now.

The 'Toy Story' films are deservedly seen as the gold standard for computer-generated
animation...

It's sadder and scarier than its predecessors, but it also may be the most important chapter in the
tale.

Toy Story 3 isn't in the same league as its predecessors, but it's close enough that most people
won't care.

It affirms that change is inevitable, and even in this weird and fascinating universe of talking
toys, love lives on in the next generation.

Dann Gire
Chicago Daily Herald
The genius of the computer-animation powerhouse Pixar is stamped on every single frame of
Toy Story 3. The studio that brought you Finding Nemo, WALL-E and Up has come up with
another classic.

What continues to astonish about the Pixar films is the way they manage to pair blissful
entertainment with the miraculous experience of being human.

Scott Renshaw
Salt Lake City Weekly
There's no way this Pixar sequel could match the peerless level of the first two films, and it
doesn't, but after a slow start this one gets into gear, and the third act is a barn-burner.

AUDIENCE REVIEWS FOR TOY STORY 3

A true masterpiece that exceeds the level of quality of the previous films and reflects Pixar's own
growth in storytelling, being not just an amazing entertainment as the other two but above all a
mature and emotionally devastating movie that moved me to tears with its unforgettable final act.

And so Pixar just goes and does it again, as if it's the easiest thing to do: They're taking
characters that haven't been used in 10 years and throw them into this new adventure as if no
time passed. The film blends perfectly into its two predecessors. Of course, the animation has
taken huge steps in the meantime and is absolutely flawless and stunningly beautiful. Starting
with a bang of a beautifully shot action sequence the film reminds reminds us of all the different
characters from the gang of toys. And that's what they are, characters. Although there are too
many of them to give them all a lot of screen time it just takes seconds for us to feel for them.
When Woody and his friends hold each other's hands later while facing their possible demise, we
forget that we're looking at animated toys, we worry about them as if they were real. That's
certainly the biggest asset of the film, taking its characters seriously while having fun with them.
The story is a tad more serious than before, delivering one of the greatest prison breaks of recent
movie history, there's great voice acting and the story develops quite a lot of speed in the last
third with more spectacular and colorful sceneries than the two first films. Just try not to be
deeply touched by the last couple of minutes. The result is en par with its fantastic predecessors:
funny, sweet, touching, deeply entertaining. Another triumph for Pixar.

It follows a very familiar Pixar formula, but the studio's heart and soul is poured into every
moment of this beautiful and hilarious movie, and the ending accomplishes incredible emotional
feats.
