Escape to the Movies: Toy Story 3

[300lb. Samoan]

OH MY GOD I was going to see this last night and fell asleep instead! I'M SO JEALOUS

Spoiler: I never knew Brave Little toaster was made by the Pixar crew (part of it anyway).

If you don't like clowns, or giant forks, or heights, don't even think of watching this shit:
This is Phil Hartman, torturing my imagination when I was a kid. I was convinced the A/C in my room was gonna catch on fire that summer.
Even back then, these guys were playing with mortality in children's stories.

I remember when the first came out, and was certaintly old enough to understand it to its full potential (I'm 23 now). I've grown to LOVE cartoon and animated movies, so I'm very excited about this.

How often do you see a successful completion of a trilogy, with all movies being high end?

 

[chaos order]

even through the entire review bob had this sad low tone. o god this must be sad

I remember seeing Toy Story in theaters: I was Six Years old, my little sister was Five. That movie was like when you hear most people talk about seeing Star Wars for the first time, it was the first movie I had ever seen.

I never saw Toy Story 2 (I was about nine or ten then, I thought I was "Too Old" for it, and when I watched it at home, I never was more angry at not seeing it in theaters than at that moment).

Needless to say, I didn't cry at Up, but I did cry at Wall-E, so chances are I'll cry anyway.

wow, moviebob just made me realise that I was 3 when the first toy story came out. that means I grew up in tandem with Andy. and it was one of my first and favorite movies.

great.

By the way, Epic Win to you moviebob mentioning The Neverending Story. The death of Artax was freakin heartbreaking, especially for the age when I saw it.

 

[baseracer]

I saw it today.

It's awesome. And its really sad.

...Damn, Bob, I don't think I've ever heard you so somber and serious about a movie before. Just that change of tone made me sit up and take notice. I loved TS1 but never got around to seeing 2, so maybe I'll get my hands on the second one and then hit up the theatres for #3. I'm secure enough in my manliness to see a movie like that alone, but maybe I'll bring a friend anyway just to share it with.

As a side note:

WHY THE FUCK DID YOU BRING UP THAT SCENE FROM THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER?!?!?!? Do you know how LONG it took me to forget that!? DO YOU?!

I'm not sure what The Brave Little Toaster is, but I sure as hell remember Artax and the Swamp of Despair. Man, was that rough.

...I remember both.

Dammit. Excuse me a minute or five, I think... dust got in my eye or something....

Funny. I didn't like the original Toy Story. I found it to be just a rip-off of Christmas Toy [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Christmas_Toy], so I never bothered with the sequel. I caught a couple scene here and there, but nothing appealed to me. If anything, it looked to me like Toy Story 2 would have been exactly what I never would have wanted to see even if I had liked the original.

It is rather disquieting for people to give these films such high praise when I feel absolutely nothing for them but contempt.

So now there's a third movie and the way Moviebob describes it, it sounds interesting. However, since I do not care for the previous movies nor care about the characters, it would likely be a disappointment greater than when it turned out that Happy Feet did not end with the main character in a zoo and crazy throwing fish at the wall because he thinks it's his family.

Oh, well. I hope those who enjoyed those movies enjoy this one. I'll just find something else to do.

Will Pixar EVER drop the ball on a movie? It seems less and less likely! Not that I'm hoping for it!

 

[Jonesy911]

I'm about 1 or 2 years younger than Andy is suppossed to be in this one I think. I grew up with these films and they'll never leave me

 

[Exocet]

Oh god I still remember the scene with the big wolf thing in Neverending Story.
I watched Aliens at age six no problem,but the wolf?Still haunts me.Not cool Bob,not cool.

 

[Aptspire]

Will definitely see it. if not in theatres, then definitely on DVD :O

 

[Dyp100]

I'm almost 16 and I grew up on this Disney/Pixar stuff.

I'm sure as hell gonna try make a hard steel face, but fail at it, I know this is going to kill me.

 

[tombman888]

Hoorah, ive gotta go see this now, um, right after i go see the A-team today.

 

[littlerudi08107]

I cried after the first Toy Story. Odd though since Bambi and the Lion King never even got a sniffle out of me. I guess it was the Randy Newman songs in the first one that got me all teary eyed.

I refuse to see it, not because I won't like it. Because If I see it I guarentee I will be sad for days. Same thing happened when I saw Marley and me, Stepmom, Ghost, and The Fly 2 (you know what scene I'm talking about!)

 

[Zhalath]

I saw it. He was right. Also, Totoro!

 

[Andronicus]

Holy crap, I haven't seen The Brave Little Toaster in yeeeeaaaaars. Like, since I was only in early Primary School. I can't even remember how the story went. I'm gonna have to hunt that out on eBay or something...

Anyway, yeah. Toy Story 3. Do want to see. I wonder if my friends will want to see it with me...

 

[lokiduck]

Considering that scene from Up, I'll have to bring a box of Tissues with me.

I was a little hesitent before watching this because I knew I was for sure seeing this movie and didn't want anything spoiled but now I really want to see it.

Great point on our messed up childhoods XD And things that make us sad, when I watched this one special on the 11 most sad moments in children movies, I was crying through most of them XD

I really want to see how this whole thing ends... but it probably isn't the best of ideas to see a movie that sounds like it ends in such a depressing way... not sure what i'll end up deciding on this one yet. lol.
