My Toy Story 3 Review (some spoilers)

Like many others around the world, I grew up watching the two Toy Story films.The story, the characters and the morale of the films easily became part of my childhood. Now, 11 years after the Toy Story 2, I watched an [apparent] last installment of the franchise. But it's not just a sequel; it's one of those movies that are hard to forget, as if they are engraved into my brain. I knew this was gonna be big. And I knew, from the minute I saw the first annoucement, that I'll be watching this despite my age.

Now the first moments of the film is already a tear jerker. It was like watching a dead person's memorial video, in a good way. Woody, Buzz and the rest of the gang seemed to have a bleak future, which made me glue myself onto my seat. While watching their dilemma, I became nervous because I had the feeling it's gonna be a literal end for the toys. There's still a sense of adventure in some scenes even though they didn't explore to somewhat far places that much like the 2 previous films (except the dump). Now, Buzz was the perfect comic relief for the story. We've already met the "astro nut" Buzz, but none of them compared to the Spanish-romatic Buzz! It was so funny, he's like a space dude version of Zorro. As for the new characters, all I say about the strawberry smelling teddy bear is that he's PURE evil. No kidding! See the climax and you'll know what I mean. Ken is the one that stood out. I really like his character. In fact, I was glad that he kinda joined the gang. Now for the other new characters that didn't have enough screen time (because they're too many to squeeze in), they were colorful in terms of personality. The one that really freaked me out is the worn out baby toy. He's close to Chucky from Child's Play.

The scenes the stood out
Definitely the climax. It tore me apart! It was so heart wrenching that I was crying on the inside. The toys were at a place of nightmares and when you think that you see daylight at the end of the tunnel, think again. It showed the true friendship and the reality of good-byes. The ending was priceless, I kinda expected it because previous scenes gave off obvious hints. It made me realized that I don't want it to end, but a good bye is inevitable and proper... this only shows that I suck at good byes :(

Toy Story 3 is hard to top if they're planning a sequel. I think it's better to end it right here at Woody's line "So long, Partner". It's definitely a tear jerker, it can make a grown man cry. Movies like these are very rare and they shouldn't be missed.

After watching it, I am so feeling bad for my old toys..
