Escape to the Movies: Toy Story 3

[luckycharms8282]

yep, Ill admit it, I got something in my eye at the endo of the movie. Getting a little watery just thinking about it.

Toy Story was my all time favorite movies as a kid. I am 17, just like Andy and have grown up with the series since then. I saw the movie in 3D (they were not offering it any other way) and I can thank god for those glasses. I started to cry around 10 minutes before the movie ended and I didn't stop till I was well out of the theater and in the bathroom. It was the saddest moment in a movie since... to be honest I don't think there has been a moment in a movie that could compare to this.

just watched it at an outdoor drive-in. DAMN, I cried. He was right. I was about to cry during this review for some reason as I said in an earlier post. It is probably the best movie by Pixar ever. Someone said, "too happy to cry" but... I was so happy I cried. : )

 

[ivarsa15]

Wow! I am one of those guys 'Movie Bob' was talking about! Toy Story was the first movie I actually saw and also one of my favorite movie of all time. I'm also about to got to college now... That is soo cool!!!

 

[My name wont fit]

I had the brave little toaster repressed! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BRING IT UP WAAAAA

 

[Se7enUpMustang]

I grew up with this, im only one year older than andy was in the movie. I still felt that feeling of amazement and wonder that o felt years ago when isaw the other movies. Btw who else here had a Buzz and Woody doll? I had Buzz's ship and the RC buggy (which was the collest fucking rc car ever)

 

[Nomanslander]

they needed an outside studio (at first) that was better at "being disney" than Disney.

What are you talking about, Pixar is more in line with what made Don Bluth movies great back in the 80s rather than Disney.

Disney has always been about princesses and fairy god mothers, not the type of royal material that Pixar cranks at...=/

Uh, Toy Story 1 was about accepting yourself for what you are, Toy Story 2 was about parental feelings of abandonment when children leave home. Nothing about mortality in either movie at all, frankly.

Also, Splice sucked, and to such a degree that I can't believe you really liked it. I'm going to have extreme difficulty taking anything you say seriously now. You should be ashamed of yourself.

 

[rileyrulesu]

Just listen to the tone of his voice in this review compared to the other reviews. That should tell you everything you need to know about the movie.

I do agree with this statement.

Thanks to this vid and everyone's posts, now I feel like a heartless bastard for not crying. I think I went in expecting something sad on the level with Bambi or Never-Ending Story, but I got nothing of the sort. IMO:

Spoiler

Having characters almost die and come face-to-face with mortality is nowhere near as gut-wrenching as having characters actually die and leave the survivors to accept their mortality. Especially when you've come to love these characters over several movies - even though I figured there was no way in hell they would actually kill someone off in Toy Story...

Don't get me wrong, this is a great movie, but at no point was I genuinely sad, not even at the end. I guess that makes me some sort of psychopath.

Nah, you're just like me.
MANLY.
I was not close to tears in any part of the movie.
Up on the other hand...

 

[brodie21]

Jesus christ!
Why the hell did he do this movie and not Jonah Hex?

WTF is Jonah Hex?

 

[Impluse_101]

Suddenly, manly tears everywhere.


Bob seems so sad.

I see your avatar then that post and then I lol'd.

 

[kikimaru024]

I'm now apprehensive about this.

Yes, I can see it's good -- but I can also see that it will either destroy, or change, part of my childhood memories.

It's an apprehension similar to how I have Grave of the Fireflies still sitting on my shelf. It sounds like the kind of movie I have to work myself up for.

 

[Matt-Sama]

Bob just HAD to show that clown from "The Brave Little Toaster" didn't he? That haunted my childhood. Ahh well, great review cant wait to see this movie, too bad it comes out in a month or so in England D:

 

[Flying Dagger]

not to be an arse but bridge of terabitha was terible I poited out the ending as a joke at the start and thats what actually happened and the last bit wasn't sad I mean mabye a little sad but not enough to make you cry

Really?

Spoiler: dont even think about clicking this unless youve seen Bridge to Terrabithia, even if you dont plan to see it, because you might on the offchance one day and this will make the film shit. Or if you havent seen Pan's Labyrinth, because Im spoiling the ending to that too.

The little girl dying, it being her best friend's fault because he wanted to be alone with the teacher, losing his only friend and knowing that it was his fault?

The ending wasn't even Pan's labyrinth style death where there's a case of "maybe death was a release, and she's in a better place now"

Saying at the beginning "the girl dies" doesn't begin to mean that you worked out the plot. And if you don't have the emotional depth to attach yourself to the characters to feel the boys loss at least, if not the horrifying tragedy of a child's life cut short, then I pity you.

 

[skylog]

I was a kid when 1 and 2 first came out, and I just got back from seeing 3. Now, I haven't cried at a movie or TV show or anything since I was 8.

I didn't cry after reading Bridge to Terebithia.
I didn't cry when Mufasa died.
I didn't cry when a whole country celebrated the slumdog's victory.
I didn't cry when Nico Robin said she wanted to live.
I didn't cry when Raine Sage was "reunited" with her mother.
I didn't cry when Jessie talked about her life with Emily.
I didn't cry when Wall-E saved an entire species.
I didn't cry when we saw the Frederiksen's marriage.

But...

Spoiler

when Andy was describing these characters I grew up with to their new owner, both of us knowing that we'll never see them again...it was just too much.

It was the part just before that that made me lose it... The spoiler tag below is there for a VERY GOOD REASON, so don't click it if you haven't seen the movie yet.

Spoiler

Growing up with all of those characters to see them all hold hands as they drift towards an inevitable inferno. If they had all died right there, I would not have blamed Pixar. It was such a touching scene... Never before had suspense brought me to tears. I truly did not think they were going to make it out alive.

Oh and I cried at most of those things. ESPECIALLY when I read Bridge to Terabithia. Have you no soul?

Believe me, my eyes were definitely moist during them, particularly with Robin, Raine, and Wall-E, but it wasn't enough to unleash any tears. Only the toys could do it.

I think it was so ingenious that they matched the narrative in tandem with the demographic.

It also means I have a contrived reason to watch the movie without feeling out of place!
Yay!

 

[reaper_94]

I can't believe it's been 15 years, i was one when Toy Story was released. PS. My woody doll was the shit

 

[Anticitizen_Two]

It was amazing. The entire theater applauded after the little alien guys did their thing, and at the end. What a great ending to a great series.

And Pixar's streak continues! 11-0!
