Bit late to the game people but it just came out in the UK today and I have to say it was pretty spectacular!
I do think it started a bit slow however but the last half was one of the best things I've seen in the cinema for awhile (that was a lie, I saw inception Saturday
).

This was me when The Incredibles came out. I saw the teaser for Monsters Inc and thought, eh, this looks okay I guess. Turned out to be thoroughly charming, and Boo is still one of my wife's favorite characters in the history of ever. Then I saw the teaser for Finding Nemo and thought, eh, this looks okay I guess. Another one that impressed me more than I expected, and I found to be very visually provocative. Then I saw the teaser for The Incredibles and thought, oh come on, they don't even look that realistic any more! They're going backwards. It didn't occur to me the comic-y look was a design decision, nor did they tell me that the writer/director was the same guy who did The Iron Giant.simmeh said:
After that, I automatically want to see every Pixar movie, no matter what, until they prove me wrong. A movie about talking Cars with faces? Let's go see it! A rat-chef in Paris? Bring it on! A man who floats his house away on a bazillion balloons? I'll buy the popcorn! And now, having also seen Toy Story 3, my blind faith in them remains unshaken.
I thought it was interesting that Bob mentioned Brave Little Toaster, since the climax of this movie reminded me very strongly of the climax of that movie (it's different enough that I'm not spoiling anything by saying so), and because that was the movie that John Lasseter originally pitched to Disney as a way to move animation towards full CGI... before he was shot down, promptly fired for his audacity, and then went on to do that whole Pixar thing while Disney made Toaster anyway as a traditional style project. Go watch it again and listen for Joe Ranft (Lenny/Heimlich/Wheezy) as the appliance shop owner.
Yeah, i'm not ashamed to admit that my emotional threshold was reached during that film, especially, during the incinerator parts. It's good to know that there are still films that make you think and aren't just mindless explosions. Bambi's Mums death, Muffasa's death and the sinking horse in that one film will stick with me forever though (I don't recall the part your talking about from brave little toaster. Was it the original or the sequel?)
What film was that? It's bugging me now xDnathan-dts said:
It's nice to see a 'kid-friendly' film that isn't afraid to be a little dark. I think it'd teach kids to be more sensitive, or at least realise that the real world is more than rainbows and fluffy bunnies.
That was the movie i was waiting for all year. Only movie i wanted too see, and it was worth it. I LOVE this movie. When i was young i loved the original toy story movies (hell, i still own both video games and got a buzz lightyear toy), but i am excited for Toy Story 4. I know that will NEVER happen after this masterpiece, but i can dream... right?
Yeah Seen it Yesterday, Brilliant Film. I managed not to cry during the Film, but its all the emotions are coming back to me now.I grew up with these films and to know they are over forever is really sad. This Film just pretty much told me that my childhood is over and its time to move on in life, bit of a heavy blow to take.
I saw this with my girlfriend and after this review, I was hellbent on not crying haha. The ending is emotional and touching and shit but it's not like overwhelmingly sad. Pixar really are geniuses though; I saw the first one when I was about 5 years old and now at 17 I saw the last one. Great series. I normally hate kids movies now but there will always be a place in my heart for toy story, man.
Absolutely brilliant film- loved it from beginning to end. I'm so glad I was lucky enough to be brought up watching toy story to then finally see its conclusion at the end of my own childhood. I think that's why it hit me so hard. Still, though it's one of the funniest films I've seen in a long time and you can tell pixar's budget's gone up with the beautiful animation - especially in the earlier scenes.
I put off watching this review until I saw the movie and Damn! I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about the end
As Bob said thank you Pixar for ending this is the best way any movie franchise could have

Such a good movie, Earth-shatteringly good! During the scene of that "fist pumping heroism" that he mentioned I was ... I can't even describe how I was feeling without risking being put on probation!!!
I saw this movie recently. I saw the ending. I had heard it was meant to be heart wrenching. I was warned I would cry like a child. I didn't. Neither did my girlfriend. Neither of us thought that was a sad ending.
I recking it was a case of we had both heard so much "I came out crying" that we expected more, because I think if a lot of people go back and watch it again, they'll see it's not actually that sad.
The scene where they get saved by the LGM, had they not and been killed as we both thought was going to happen, we would've been sadder. But netiher of us viewed the final 15 minutes, were Andy passes the toys onto the little girl as sad. Everyone gets played with one last time with Andy and then he goes on his way. That's sad in a sense I'll admit, but not gut wreching. As for the toys, they now get to continue to make another child happy.

Quite frankly, a funeral at sea is how a brave series should go out. Eulogy should always be: "They went down, fighting."
If the end of this is anywhere as good[and bittersweet] as I'm expecting[I expect my last shred of innocence to transcend my mortal coil], then it is a most fitting ending for a show about childhood[was NEVER about toys].
Toys don't talk or go on adventures. Children do...And sometimes, the best kind of adults do too.
Pixar is a studio I can trust to do a film justice. So I'm endorsing it while I figure a time for me to view it.[Did 'Carry on, My Wayward Son' play?]
