But the thing that makes Woody special is he'll never give up on you...ever.


Toy Story 3 is a winner on so many levels, that it is hard to know where to start.
The animation is top of the line - the quality is superior and although I saw it in 3D, I didn't feel it was necessary to view it this way for this particular film. PIXAR has always done an outstanding job, but it is apparent they don't rest on their laurels, because they continue to improve by leaps and bounds. The expressions of our favorite characters are even more realistic and each detail is done expertly.
The humor is spot-on! From the great one-liners of Hamm and Mr. Potato-Head, to the addition of Ken, the comedy alone is enough to recommend the film to everyone. Especially funny is Buzz Lightyear in Spanish mode and the ensuing antics of the rest of the toys.
The emotional storyline has just the right tug on our hearts and minds. The heroes in our story are back and we love them even more than before. They are loyal and no one is going to get left behind. We are reminded why we wanted to see this third installment, and what a wonderful part in our collective history that Woody, Buzz, Rex and the others have really played. Not only will you laugh out loud at the actions and writing, you will need a tissue or careful swipe at the tear that is sure to appear during the film.
As close to perfect as can be done, this is one movie that I can whole-heartedly recommend to anyone of any age. See it once and don't be suprised that you want to see it again!
