And with this, I think Pixar has forever shattered any skepticism about what they can make a movie out of. Now, I loved Toy Story. I'd even go as far as to say that it's my favourite movie of all time. But every time I heard about a new Pixar movie in the pipeline, I would always look at the concept and think, "that doesn't look good at all." Luckily, I was proven wrong each and every time.
Pixar has proved they can make movies with unappealing protaganists (Ratatouille), movies about talking critters long after talking critters lost their charm (A Bugs Life, Finding Nemo), superhero movies that fly in the face of convention while still relishing the basic concepts of children's movies (The Incredibles), and even high-concept movies with almost no dialogue (WALL-E). Now, they've proven that they can successfully create a string of sequels without the money-grubbing that is normally associated with that sort of act.
Bravo, Pixar. I will never doubt you ever again.

the first one came out 15 years ago!?! damn now I feel old
anyway good job Toy Story, I'll remember you always.

Two things. First, I'm watching this movie. I have to. I've seen Toy Story countless times as a kid.
Second... it looks like GoW3 might be doing alot of things right mechanic-wise, meaning that it could be a good, solid game. I'm personally stoked for Medal of Honor, due to the fact that I have deep post-divorce childhood memories invested into it. Don't give me the crap about the modern youth ending up as hollow shells based on the games they play, because unless I exceed physical, gain the ability to make 500 yard shots, completely degrade my sensitivity and join the marines and become a scout sniper, that's just not gonna happen.

Yeah, no kidding. I'm glad he did this one and not Jonah Hex. It's got that Transformers chick in it which has an Intelligence and Wisdom of -4, so the average Intelligence of that picture is...what, -3?The Philistine said:Let's see... review the last in a series of movies that have been routinely good and popular for a wide audience or review an action movie based off a little known DC character that will probably be quickly forgotten amidst all the other action movies at best.Haseo21 said:
I'm glad Bob went for the movie that will almost without fail have more depth
Good job, I'm going to try to see this one in theaters.
Dude, the definition of `sequel`is something that follows something else. Therefore, each movie in a series is the sequel to the movie that came before, rendering your argument null. The argument you`re making is also invalid, as there is no overarching story to the 3 Toy Story movies. Each movie has a self contained story; the only aspect that transfers from each movie to the next are the characters and some of the setting. A series of movies assumes there is a consistent plot overarching the events of all the movies. Now enough of this; I don`t want to start a flame war.AgDr_ODST said:

There is no excuse to not watch this movie. RT has got it at 100% after 125 reviews and EttM gave it an awesome review. I know what Im doing this weekend.
Damn you movie bob, I had repressed my memories of that scene in brave little toaster >=(. I want to see this so bad, because I'm 14 now so I grew up with these movies, but I've no doubt me and my nephew will be bawling from this review and the other things I've heard.
Okaaaaaay, not quite sure what that second paragraph has to do with anything on these boards, but anyway...Twinmill5000 said:
OT: I can't believe I have to wait a frikkin' month to see this film. You have no idea how lucky you are, America! I hate it when Disney does this! I mean, last year we limey Brits didn't get to see Up until October while you guys got a May release date.
It's like Disney actively want these films to be pirated...
I'm the age where I grew up with toy story, even as a kid my toys were comparable - with a longtime toy of a handmade sailor doll and a newerly made alien.
But someone on facebook ruined the ending to it for me. Pissed.
I've been nearly crying at episodes of Sarah Jane adventures recently, so it's likely that I'll die at this, even knowing what's coming.
HOWEVER.
I can't be the only one who gets pissed off if someone says "This movie is so sad"
IT'S STILL A FUCKING SPOILER, I couldn't stop crying at the end of The bridge to terabithia, and it was all the more poignent because I didn't know it was coming. (My mum, sister and I all sat on the sofa with a blanket on us crying)
Knowing something sad is going to happen ruins that a bit.

Let me see, I have yet to see Toy Story 3, I was 4 when the first one came out and I've seen both, now that I look at the series, IT WAS DEEP, if any morons dismiss this as "Kiddie Fare" they are certifiably retarded. As for the movie itself, I thought Pixar sold it's soul to the evil Disney overlords but they seem to be unaffected by Disney's "No Depth" policy.
Saw this on the midnight release. Freaking amazing animation and emotionally moving, especially since im the same age as Andy. Its better than Up, and Pixar could not have made a better end for the series of great movies that never stooped to retarded jokes like that of Shrek and most dreamworks movies.
Bob nailed this one right on the head, but he should have said to GO SEE THIS MOVIE RIGHT NOW because its better than anything else out.
