Toy Story 3 Review Celebrating 15 years.

 

My Review of Toy Story 3

To celebrate fifteen years of this great film that should have been the ending of the Toy Story franchise. Here is my review of Toy Story 3. Now, Toy Story 3 is the best Toy Story film. It had the most emotion and a great storyline, and the film's ending is one of the best I've seen in a movie. It also won Best Animated Film and was the second animated film to be nominated for Best Picture since Beauty and the Beast.

Now this film had many rewrites at one point it was Woody and Jesse and the gang going to save Buzz because he got recalled, and it was much darker. The other one was that Andy donates the toys and the toys adjust to their new life. 

The film is about Andy going off to college, and he must decide what to do with his old toys. The only toys he kept were Woody, Buzz, Jesse, Bullseye, Rex, Sleenky, Mr and Mrs Potato Head, Hamm, and the three aliens. The other toys he donated, as well as Bo Peep. So Andy decides to put them in the attic, except for Woody, as he plans to bring him with him to college. However, Andy's mom accidentally throws them out and they feel like Andy doesn't care about them and so they go inside a box that's going to be donated. Now Woody witnessed Andy putting them in the attic, but Jesse and the toys didn't believe, which bothered me when I watched this. I mean, come on, Woody did see all this. They should believe him right away. 

They all go to Sunny Side, which seems excellent idea, and Lots So seems like such a nice teddy bear that smells of strawberries...but he ain't. Also they have Barbie in the film voiced by Jodi Benson and they interduce Ken voiced by Michael Keaton and he is so funny in this film as he is one of the biggest metrosexual characters ever. Woody decides to leave and is angry at the toys for thinking Andy doesn't care about them. They realize their new home isn't good at all, and they want to leave, but Lot So goes to let them in. Buzz gets reset and thinks he's a spaceranger again. 

Woody, of course, returns after being saved by Bonnie, and the toys plan to escape and reset Buzz despite being in Spanish mode. The toys all end up in the dump, but they are saved because let me tell that scene with the dumpster fire was intense, and Lots So gets what's coming to him after he turns Sunny Side into a prison rather than a home. In the end, Woody decides to get Andy to take them to Bonnie's house because he knows they don't want to be in the attic. Andy takes them to Bonnie's house, and Andy plays with Bonnie and gives Woody to her. 

We get one of the saddest but heartfelt endings that makes you miss your old toys, and Woody will miss Andy but knows they will be all right. That line in the end of the film is so heartwarming.

This film to me is the best Toy Story film and ending because like Tarantino once said that Toy Story 3 was the perfect ending to this story and there no need for a follow up film. 

He's right Toy Story 4 ruined it because we didn't a fourth film at all. Toy Story 4 was just a cash grab and I remember liking it but as rewatched it I don't like what they did. 

They made us hate Bonnie because she doesn't play with Woody anymore and she promised Andy she take care of him and also Bo Peep appartantly this bad ass ninja or something they never showed that in the first two films. It feels forced. Buzz is just wasted in this film, and not Keanu Reeves could save it. Toy Story 4 shouldn't have happen now don't get me wrong the ending of Toy Story 4 was sad and even Tim Allen was in tears reading the script when Woody says goodbye to live with Bo Peep help other toys out there who are lost. I still understand why we're getting a fifth film. I mean, all the actors are in their 70s and 80s now. Toy Story 5 is going to be about the toys facing off against screens which like really? 

Tim Allen suggested the story be about Andy trying to find Woody and give him to his son. 

That would have been a good film, but Disney wasn't interested, sadly. 

Overall, Toy Story 3 to me is the best Toy Story film and I got to say the cast of this film always do a great job, the animation was fantastic like this one of Pixars best films and the storyline is good closure to the toys relationship with Andy. I love this film, and I give it a 10 out of 10. 

It's also one of the few third films that was better than the first two or on the same level because usually the third is always the worst. 

Go watch it because you'll have a great time. If I were to do a Toy Story marathon, I would end it with this film.
