Toy Story 3 Lets Us Relive Our Childhoods

After almost a year of anticipation, Toy Story 3 finally came out on Friday, much to the excitement of kids and adults alike. And with strong numbers for the opening weekend, the movie is number one across the country and has already made over $109 million; it’s sure to be just as big a success as the first two movies were.

Toy Story 3

The third installment opens with Andy, the owner of Woody, Buzz, and all the other toys we have all grown to love, getting ready to go off to college. While packing Andy must decide what things he wants to take with him to college, what things he wants to store in the attic, and what things he wants to throw away. Woody gets placed in the college box, but mistakenly all the other toys get placed in the trash pile. Luckily they manage to get out of the trash before the truck comes, but because they all think that Andy doesn’t love them anymore, they don’t want to go back to him. Instead they sneak into the box of toys that is being donated to a local daycare center, thinking that there they will be played with all the time, and there will always be someone to love them. Needless to say the daycare center isn’t exactly what they all had in mind, and soon, with some help from Woody, who is risking getting left behind when Andy leaves, they see that Andy still cares about them, and decide to break out and get back home.

Along the way they meet a lot of new toys, most of whom become friends with the old toys, but one, Lotso Hugs, isn’t quite so friendly to them. He does everything he can to make sure the toys don’t escape the daycare center.

Overall the movie is a lot like the first two were, filled with funny scenes and obviously not too suspenseful or scary (it is a kid’s movie after all), but Toy Story 3 did have a few moments that were a little intense. Even still, if you liked the first two, you should see the third one too. One movie goer, Kaitlin McClish said; “I don’t think anything could have topped the first Toy Story movie, but it was a pretty good way to wrap everything up. And there were a lot of funny parts in it, which made it even better.” The movie really did a great job of explaining anything that has happened between the second movie and this one, and it also brought back some jokes that were used in the first two, which really made the movie flow nicely, unlike a lot of sequels that don’t incorporate the first movie at all.

So, whether you grew up with the original Toy Story, are growing up with Toy Story 3, or just want to relive your childhood there is something for everyone in Toy Story 3, and it is a great movie for the whole family to see together.
