Door's Howl - Movie Review of Toy Story 3

Been wondering for a while about reviewing movies for some time seeing as I watch so many. Took Kevin to his first ever movie on Sunday. We went to see Toy Story 3. His face was a pure delight as he sipped an Icee, stared at the screen and took it all in!

Synopsis

Toy Story 3 continues the story of the famous toys of Andy - Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Mr and Mrs Potato Head and the rest. Andy is heading off to college and the big debate is that he no longer plays with his toys. They are concerned that he will throw them in the trash or place them in the attic. They end up at Sunnyside Daycare - a prison for toys (you'll need to see the movie to understand)! The rest of the story deals with them coming to terms with life change, escaping from "jail" and finding a way home.

The cartoon work is great - even though we saw it in 2D. The storyline and "acting" is tremendous and there are plenty of incredibly funny sections for kids and adults. Who would have thought Buzz Lightyear could be such a great Spanish dancer. Usually third part installments are terrible - just see Shrek the Third. But, Toy Story producers have pulled off their best one yet. I think it is well worth seeing and even better, worth owning. The wonderful truisms of life change are done very well and even had the adult women in my aisle in tears at the end.

Score

Door's Howls scores Toy Story 3 as a New Moon

Scoring System

Wolves are thought to commonly howl at the moon. So, the better the moon, the greater the howl. Description of scoring system below.

Full Moon - best you can get, must watch and must own
New Moon - great movie, worth seeing and buying
Crescent Moon - average to above average, good to watch, but may want to wait for DVD
Sliver Moon - below average, not worth seeing and only get it on DVD when you have nothing better to do, like having a root canal
Moonless Night -not even worth mentioning - avoid at all costs!

Keep listening for further howls.
