Toy Story 3

There are always some things to get really excited about. There are the holidays such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, etc. There also things like birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and other celebrations. There are things that happen to you like promotions, good luck, raises, etc. But then there are things you get excited about because you remember how good of times you had when you experienced that. This is exactly how I felt in line to buy my ticket of Toy Story 3. I was more jacked up then the sugar high kids piling in with their parents.

In this third installment of the Toy Story franchise, the toys and their owner Andy are all getting to that point that no kid wants to have to face; what do you do with your toys once you head off to college? You obviously outgrow them right? Well Andy is given four choices by his mom: he can take them to college with him,donate them, store them in the attic, or chuck 'em. Andy decides that he only wants to take Woody with him to college. He decides to store the rest in the attic, but after a mishandling by his mom and a near trip to the garbage, the other remaining toys decide that they would rather be played with then be stored away. They then all pack themselves into the 'Sunnyside Daycare' box. Woody, who is trying to convince the toys that they were not intended to be thrown out in the trash, ends up in the daycare box and they all are brought to the daycare. When they get there, it is almost like a paradise in this Butterfly Room of the daycare. Everyone but Woody loves it here, because they will be able to be played with again. Woody insists that they all return home, but nobody will budge, so Woody sets off for home by himself. The group then meets the other toys, lead by Lots O' Huggin Bear. They appear welcoming and friendly, especially the Ken doll, who in a hilarious way, wins over the affection of the barbie doll donated by Andy's little sister Molly. But when all of Andy's toys are sent to the other room, the Caterpillar Room, things aren't as awesome as they had once thought. These kids in the Caterpillar Room are younger than the other kids, and therefore just like to destroy the toys. After a destructive playtime, Buzz sets out to find Lotso to maybe ask for a promotion to the better of the two rooms. It is at this point that Buzz finds out that these toys aren't so nice as they once seemed, and that they are all in a lot of trouble, trouble way more serious than what kids get to play with you.


There is something seriously amazing going on in Emeryville, California. This is where Pixar Animation Studios is located. They are second to none when it comes to entertainment both for kids and adults. This brought me back to my childhood immediately, so I couldn't help but smile they whole time. I was absolutely drawn to the screen the whole time. These movies are just so breathtaking. There is a perfect blend of humor, sentiment, and action. Movies like this is why this is why I want my career to be in this field. This is letting your imagination go free and believing that these are almost real people. It's amazing. Can't get enough of it. This is definitely an instant classic.
