Perhaps the favorite franchise for kids in our house, Toy Story & Toy Story 2 have been featured on our TVs hundreds and hundreds of times over the years. We we're excited to catch the 3D, re-release, double feature earlier this year, designed to build some anticipation for the release of TS3, and my son and I were not disappointed. The soldiers repelling down the jump-rope from the second floor was enough to "sell" us on the re-do... It was a good time, fresh, and fun all over again.
Fast forward to today: Toy Story 3 is perfect! Old friends are better than ever, new characters are amazing, and the animation is so great. The 3D effects are subtle most of the time, which served to ad depth to the TS world rather than become a sideshow to the story. Great story-line, excellent production values, touching moments adults will cherish, and lots of love within the the toy's world as well as Andy, Molly, and Mom.
