Tony Toscano reviews “Toy Story 3″
When it comes to portraying the best human beings can be, you can’t beat the lessons taught by the toys in Toy Story 3.
Back for a 3rd go round, Woody, Buzz and Jessie return in what just might be the summer’s best film.
In this new 3-D film, Andy is going off to college and the Toys are in a panic. Andy, it seems, has pretty much grown up and forgotten how to play with his old pals. Depressed and feeling useless, the toys try to figure out what’s next in their lives.
Before you know it, the toys are accidentally donated to a childcare facility and Buzz, Woody and the rest are at the mercy of the resident toys living there.
It is there the film really takes off and becomes (more than anything else) a “prison break” movie. And a pretty good one at that.
Pixar Animation is genus at bringing these toys to life in such a way you actually begin to think they’re real. The film is a perfect blend of humor, pathos and action presented in amazing 3-D animation.
Despite a slow start, the movie wins at every turn. Toy Story 3 gets an A and is rated G.
