This movie definately matched, if not surpassed, Toy Story 1 and 2. The plot and dialogue were both solid and engaging and the developement of familiar characters and the unveiling of new oneswas fascinating and enjoyable.
Surprisingly, I found that the movie was more satisfying for older audiences rather than the younger. While, the content was suitable for all ages, the movie hints at sophisticated themes most meaningful to adults.
As a whole, Toy Story 3 is the perfect end to a wonderful tale. It evokes a perfect balance of laughter and tears. One leaves the theater feeling closer to the childhood they are living or [thought] they left behind.
