Toy Story 3

My first son was just 2 1/2 years old when I got him the Toy Story / Toy Story 2 combo pack. I know this for sure because at the top of the Amazon Toy Story / Toy Story 2 combo pack product page it says, "You purchased this item on November 28, 2001." Wow...how time flies. So it was to my surprise that when my son, now 11, stayed home from school with a cold earlier this year, I found him watching Toy Story. He had just put the DVD in the player, so I sat with him for a second before I headed off to work. Then the second turned into a few minutes; then a few minutes turned into a nostalgic hour; which of course turned into, "What a great, classic movie, Dad; Let's watch Toy Story 2!" So I obliged. (I hope my boss isn't reading this.) I'd forgotten what classics Toy Story and Toy Story 2 are. And it turns out that Toy Story 3 is just as classic as the first two. Not only do these movies deserve just a viewing, they deserve to be added to your movie collection. Watched the Blu Ray version last night with the entire family, and had to buy the standard DVD today, because my 7 year old daughter insisted that she needs to be able to watch the movie several times...but "upstairs" where i don't have a Blu Ray player set up. No problem. I may be biased because of the strong emotional attachment that I found that I had and have renewed with these movies, but I say that all three Toy Story movies truly are collectors' items. While watching Toy Story 3 last night, just as when I watched the first two again earlier this year, I was laughing out loud, holding in the sobs and just plain enjoying perhaps the best animated movies ever to come out of Disney. The first is about Andy's (6 - 8 years old?) toys and what happens when Andy introduces his new Buzz Lightyear to the group of toys that he grew up with. But the toys better be sure to stay out of the hands of Andy's next door neighbor Sid, because Sid's idea of fun is toy torture! Then in Toy Story 2 it's spring cleanup time, and the toys better hide if they don't want to end up in the yard sale; especially if you're a rare toy and there are greedy toy collectors that would just love to have...er..I mean...sell you. Finally in Toy Story 3 Andy is all grown up and the Toys have to deal with wondering if Andy will take them to college (a bad bet), keep them in his room (probably not or....Donate them or....Throw them out in the trash?!? Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are once again magic together in Toy Story 3 and they are joined by a cast of many many A-list voice talents...Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head is my favorite (ya hockey puck!). And one more note, if you've ever seen the Buzz Lightyear Disney Channel spinoff but not the movies, don't be dissuaded by the spinoff because it was silly in comparison; the movies are head and shoulders above the spinoff in acting, animation and storywise. I'd grab the whole collection and see Toy Story 1 & 2 before 3 if you haven't already...it really puts things in perspective to watch it chronologically. Either way, get it into your cart then enjoy...with or without some kids!

After pouring over many very well written praises about Toy Story 3 I won't add too much to what's already been said. However, for me this trilogy and magnificence of Pixar creations, which I believe was spawned (as a company) by John Lasseter, has to be the greatest of them all. Well, everything Pixar creates is great and over the top. We all have our favorites and I believe citing one is not to slight the other. It's simply what's inside each of us that harmonizes with the storyline and that's what makes some films to some people more noteworthy than others. Still, I find this trilogy absolutely incredible in every way, shape and form. You have to also understand I was never one to like or enjoy watching animation, anything, then or now. I'm about 65 years of age and I believe it was some 15 years ago when a friend of mine insisted I go to the movies and see Toy Story, the first installment. At first, I was reluctant to go, but he and his wife talked me into it. It was the best talking into I ever had. Strangely, she didn't like the movie and walked out earlier. Her husband and I sat and watched the movie and I just couldn't believe my eyes or ears what showed and sounded on that big silver screen. In time, I saw Toy Story 2, and just last evening I finally got to watch the final installment of this peerless trilogy of movies. It also finally kicked in that here was a narrative much like the previous two focusing on, not only childhood and fraternity, especially the loyalty among the toy members to their master playmate, Andy, but also epic moral lessons pivoting around humanity's light. These stories all show and share this main trait, this overcoming whatever needs to be triumphed over, and for the sake of loyalty, love and friendship, and an abiding sense of humanity's spirit. These films just make you feel proud to be among our genus; happy to find a way out of the usual darkness of our lives, the politics and warfare, the brute and brunt force of society in general. And for a little while there is a saga worth plugging into, sometimes the iffiness of life that Woody and the crew must unite together and somehow get through. Toy Story, this last and final installment, certainly stacks the odds against all of them, yet we are so grateful that every loose end ties up, and all the characters get to live on, even that slick strawberry-smelling bear, but not quite to his liking. I mean, how he ended up. Of course, no one gets to be and play a cowboy forever, or so goes the famous line in "Monte Walsh." And Andy has grown up and has to put his toys away, though not his inner child. This movie is so touching in so many ways, so healing, that I just felt myself turning back inside and meeting head on that inner child of mine, the feelings somewhat mixed, though a blessing. Thank you, Pixar, and all your wonderful and peerless creative people who make these films. You are sine qua non. The humanity of these stores is the right prescription for the illness of today's world. These stories are a beacon of light and life for those who desperately need it, and I am one such. I'll continue being a fan and follower and purchaser of your products. Meanwhile, the Toy Story saga will live within me, as will the likes of Wall-E, Up, Cars, Nemo, and all the rest.

Great movie for families! Even better in 4K, absolutely beautiful picture.

There are many times sequals fall flat and you know it, and there are many sequals that seem to fit seamlessly into the first story, not losing any continuity along the way. This is one of the latter,and I am glad of it. Toy Story 3 is a wonderful ending to a great three part story and worth every accolade given. Woody and Buzz find themselves seemingly forgotten as Andy grows up and is getting ready for college. In the rush for him to get ready, Andy is reminded he still has his toys in the chest in his room and must decide what to do with them. When he starts packing them away to take to the attic, he rediscovers Woody and Buzz and decides to take Woody with him to College while the other toys, Buzz included will go to the attic. His sister, is also clearing out some things to donate to a day school and needs some help. In the process, the bag of toys being sent to the attic gets mixed up and mistaken for trash by their mother. Woody attempts to help his friends escape and while he is a little late, discovers to his relief that they have freed themselves but is appalled to learn they have decided to go to Sunnydale, believing that they had been thrown away. Woody's attempt to talk them out of it comes to an abrupt end when the car door slams and he is trapped and going to Sunnydale with them. When they arrive, they are met by Lotso Hugging Bear who assures everyone they have made the right choice and that they are in a better place. Woody however, chooses not to remain and leaves in a huff while the beautiful world the others have entered rapidly turns sour when they find the kids in the room they have been assigned are too young and too rough. Things get worse when they discover Lotso is no one's friend and rules Sunnydale with an iron hand. On his way home, Woody is found and rescued by a liitle girl and taken to her home and it is there he discovers what really happened to his friends and he is torn between trying to get back before Andy leaves or rescuing his friends from their terrible predicament. He chooses to go back and finds a way to free his friends resulting in an effort worthy of "the Great Escape". Freeing Buzz, however has a seriously funny side complication when he returns in Spanish mode and in the midst of their escape starts to romance Jessie the Cowgirl. The escape is nearly thwarted by Lotso, but Big Baby throws him into the trash and manages to pull Woody in as well and when the truck comes all are taken to the dump and Woody and Buzz face their greatest menace ever When Lotso betrays them and leaves them behind to perish. This is a bit darker than the other two, but the story is amazing. A great cast and great effects makes this well worth watching, and it's a keeper!

Love this movie! The scene in this movie with the toy maker fixing up Woody was the best for me! That scene took animation to a new level!

Ok, movie could be better.

If you're like me, and you have a child under five, do yourself a favor and just buy it. They'll watch it a few dozen times, and you won't mind. It's an awesome movie. I've done the rental thing with Pixar a few times, and there hasn't been a movie he hasn't repeatedly asked for over and over. He loves this series, and I'm right there with him. I'd never seen 3, how does Pixar make every sequel better? It's crazy.

When it comes to family entertainment, nobody beats Disney-Pixar. This movie is no exception. My wife and I enjoy it as much as our 3-year-old daughter. We watch this movie, on average since getting it, about three times a week. The toys and stories about playtime and adventures are enough to keep our daughter raptly attentive; the deeper stories about coming-of-age, separation anxiety, and finding your way in the world are well written and acted out for the adults. Some parts are a little darker than the first two movies and may elicit questions from older children, but all-in-all it's a fun and exciting movie. Needless to say, the blu-ray picture and sound are amazing. The amount of extras is impressive; you'll need to watch the extras on both the blu-ray disk and the dvd since they aren't (like with some packages) just repeats of the other disk. In the end, everyone ends up getting just what they need, even if they didn't realize earlier that it was what they wanted. This is, in my opinion, the perfect way to end the Toy Story series. (SPOILER ALERT!) The toys are still together and have someone who will love them and play with them; Andy is grown up and, while past the point of being able to love the toys, has fond memories of his time with them. Lotso gets his due and the other toys at SunnySide Day Care are free to live without the fear of his gang of thugs (who, it turns out, aren't that bad once the dictator is gone). I know it's a profitable franchise and an enjoyable series of good, wholesome family movies...but I hope the studio will realize that they've attained perfection with these three movies and not drive it into the ground by releasing additional movies just for the sake of making more money. The toys are happy, Andy is happy, and I am happy...let's stop there.

Arrived as expected. Game plays well. Wii version is less furnished then other consoles, but it is to be expected because the wii has weaker graphic proccessing capabilities. Everything is to satisfaction.

Well I don't know how many times i have watched TOY STORY TRILOGY❤️❤️😍 in my life till date! These movies r very close to my heart. PIXAR has a knack of making people cry and this trilogy is PIXAR'S best creation. The emotions these movies evoke is inexplicable! You just need to feel them. Toy story 3 is a perfect culmination to this epic trilogy. It couldn't have been any better!! Just watch this awesome trilogy if u haven't already. I m damn sure u r gonna fall in love with these characters for sure👍 Fun facts: 1)Quentin Tarantino placed the film at the top position in his list of favorite films of 2010. 2)It became the second Pixar film (after Up) and third animated film overall (after Beauty and the Beast and Up) to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. The film received four more Academy Award nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Sound Editing, Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song, winning the latter two. 3)Toy Story 3 grossed over $1 billion worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2010—both in North America and worldwide—and the fourth-highest-grossing film at the time of its release, as well as the fourth-highest-grossing animated film of all time, the first animated film to generate over $1 billion in ticket sales, and Pixar's second-highest-grossing film to date, behind Incredibles 2. About the bluray picture quality its top notch! The vibrant colors do pop plus its full screen aspect ratio makes the viewing experience all the more fantastic😘😘. A must add to your bluray collection👌👌

Movie: This is one awesome film franchise that just gets better and better with each sequel. Normally, sequels are only made to catch the success of the first film and sucks as it gets longer and longer (think God Father, Rambo, Batman in the 90s, and so on). However, this 3rd installment of Toy Story is awesome. My wife and I LOVED IT!! I had brought the first two films prior to it came out so my wife had the opportunity to watch 1 & 2 just before this came out. We saw this one and we both loved it. The storyline is more mature than the first 2 as the writers thought about the audience that followed this film since the 1st. The animation is great as they have gotten better and better with time and the opening in this film is one heck of an opening. We love it!! Product: Always love the Blu-Ray & DVD combo as we have a theater at the condo that only plays DVD. Therefore, this gives us the nice option to watch it when friends come by. There are a lot of bonus stuff on the Blu-Ray feature and watching them gives you a higher appreciation for this film. GET IT!!!

To produce the first fully computer-animated feature film was a surprising triumph for those at Pixar in 1995, but to then produce a follow-up film that was even better... These guys must be good. What I'm still trying to get over is how Toy Story 3, fifteen years after the saga began, is the best of the trilogy. These guys are something else. If we are to ever see true 'Special Editions' of which ever coloured 'Ray' disc there is in the future, this film saga deserves to be up there with any animated classics from the past. Pixar have proved time and time again that original ideas simply trump whatever technological advancements may lay in the eye-candy department. Perhaps what makes Toy Story 3 such a perfect film is that it is a feast in both visuals and storytelling. This third film takes quite a leap from Toy Story 2, as Andy is now 17 years old and much of his glorious childhood is summarised in a series of Camcorder edits, quick to pointing out however that along with leaving his youth, the toys themselves were soon forgotten and destined for a life in a Chest. They have resorted to testing Andy's affection and attempting to get his attention from the Chest (by placing his mobile phone there!), yet their latest plan would have appeared to have failed. Andy is soon to be leaving home for College, and his mum laid the law down by sorting the contents of his room between either going in the trash or going with him to College. Not surprisingly, his affection to Woody is rewarded as the Cow Boy doll is placed in the College box, but when the other toys are left in a bag ready to go into the loft (an adequate residence!), they are mistakenly taken to the trash pile! Once over-coming the feeling of being abandoned by their longtime owner, they seek the seemingly perfect retreat of a 'Sunnyside Day Care Centre" box in the back of Andys car - part of series of donations for a play-school. Woody can only rejoin the clan in attempt to reassure the toys of Andy's affection, but it is already too late. The journey begins, and upon arrival at the wonderful looking complex, the toys must pick their own destiny once more as things don't crack up to how they once imagined... Its fair to assume that the story is tighter than ever, and is testament to the 5 years of development that Pixar required to better the two previous movies. Although I have set the basis for what is to come, it would be unfair to even touch on the adventure that the toys entail - going well beyond anything that I've mentioned and, indeed, what we've seen from the previous films. Old toys are lost and new ones appear, but the originality is never lost. The very fact that the film begins in such creative fashion, witnessing the toys in an epic adventure from Andy's imagination, to the final scene in which they have rekindled a true love with someone special is quite magical and so well thought out that, in affect, it places the likes of 'Shrek' in an almost amateurish category (Don't even mention 'Shrek The Third). Even that very first scene in which Andy's toys are a part of a wonderful 'Cops and Robbers' role-play in the middle of a dessert has its act of genius, as it is, in fact, a re-telling of the very same story that Andy plays at the beginning of the original 'Toy Story' film. I've always felt that the Toy Story saga could just go on forever, but I found it very re-assuring that, after what is a very emotional ending that reduced even grown men to sobbing, this could very well be the last film. Fans shouldn't need to be disappointed however, because a return (which is not all-together off the books) would only de-rail what is otherwise a perfectly feel-good ending to this three-part story. And thats what it is. Toy Story 3 takes the best elements of the former films and provides everything you could want from a movie; huge laughs, action, tension, sadness and love. The most important attribute, however, is that of friendship. It is clear by the very end of the film that, no matter how a toy is constructed or packaged, it will always be loved by someone out there. This relationship is made all the more sweet when you consider how it applies to us as beings. We are matter - nothing more, nothing less - but regardless of our origins or appearances, there is always someone out there who genuinely needs you. For this, there is a sense of relief by the end of the film. Andy may have grown up, as we ourselves have done, but it only takes a single memory to realise how thankful we should be for that little partner in our lives. The phrase "Thank you", is the all important message of what is a beautiful ending. To this extent, the film breaks boundaries in what we have come to expect from an animated film, and is credit to Pixar that they focus on originality and down-to-earth ethics, not the standardised Fairytales that Disney seem to cling on to because of one mans legacy. What is Pixars legacy? A team effort. There is also a simple matter that, although the visuals present are ahead of anything else out there (quite often, almost photographicl), it is the story development and layout that makes Pixar a leader in film-making. We may have come to expect such wonderful eye candy this day and age, but Pixar are relentless are creating original ideas that are aimed for not just a younger audience, but for adults too. In Toy Story 3, the reaction from these two different audiences was completely evident as the morals that had been set in stone from the very first film had been re-discovered in this finale. Whereas children will find this film to be, primarily, non-stop entertainment, its no secret that adults will feel an all more different set of emotions upon witnessing the values that are demonstrated. On a note of soundtrack, it was also wonderful to hear that roughly 80% of the music is the same score from the original Toy Story film. This was a fantastic move as Randy Newmans work has never ceased to become tiring or aged. Many of the orchestral sections took me straight back to 1995 and my own experiences of that original performance, which when you consider how prominent the characters of this saga have become, seems like a perfect choice. I would have to say that the Disney company were rather clever by 'acquiring' Pixar in 2006. Their marketing paradigm has shifted from the art of quality animation to moving with trends and more specific target audiences; this being almost garishly demonstrated with the likes of "Hannah Montana" and "High School Musical". By taking on Pixar, the branding and images of these wonderful characters are now apart of the Disney company (in fact, prior to production, Disneys terms meant that all the characters Pixar had produced were now property of Disney), and yet they can still continue to focus on glamorising popularity and modelling young boys with Antarctic-white teeth without considering their roots, unless involves their 8-year re-release schedule. Something went wrong somewhere, but the upshot is that Pixar have filled a void that Disney once had - forging some important lessons of life with undeniable entertainment, and all the more for adults as well as the kids.
