It was first-rate in just about every way technically, though the 3-D aspects were very good but not great. One of the examples are the amazing daycare scenes-with so many toys, kids and knick-knacks about the rooms, you can't believe the Pixar folks could do it! The other is is the scene at Bonnie's yard at the end of the film-the colors, textures and depth were just mind-blowing. There are so many scenes where you just marvel at all the elements-there is just so much to see and your eyes just delight in this. Technically speaking, this is probably the best looking CG movie made to this point-though I am sure in the next few years they'll manage to exceed this one-that's the nature of things. I also am a bit concerned whether this is the best film for the youngest members of the audience.

Personally, I STILL prefer "Toy Story 2" and "Up". There's that nagging 'but'.a certain odd something that I felt was lacking in the film. And, a week after its debut, the film has earned $2138123413713471035 dollars (more or less)-so it's obviously a huge hit. You should by all means see this film-it is quite enjoyable and Pixar should be proud. Reviewed by MartinHafer 8 / 10 Technically brilliant and enjoyable but it still left me a bit flat. They nailed the essence of "Toy Story" and how much loyalty can mean. Kudos to all those involved in making this film. It's great to still hear familiar and distinctive voices, such as those of Wallace Shawn ("Rex"), John Ratenzenber ("Hamm"), Don Rickles and Estelle Harris ("Mr. Also, the artwork is at the usual high standard, especially some scenes in the last half hour at the dump yard, of all places.įinally, what's really cool, too, is that the people who voice the main characters are still the same men and women who did the first two films, with the exception of Jim Varney ("Slinky Dog"), who died in 2000. For those who haven't seen it yet, three surprises stood out for me: (1) the high number of new characters introduced (2) the darkness of some of them this is not always a fun story (3) the incredibly-touching last 15-or-so minutes.Īll three of these facets should make this a fun 103 minutes every time I watch the DVD, much like the first two. With a bunch of reviews already here, there is no sense going into the story. "Toy Story 3" was another amazing story in this (so far) trilogy. Toy Story 1 & 2 set the bar high so, frankly, I was expecting a disappointment with this one. Well, this lived up to the hype, which usually isn't an easy accomplishment.
