Never saw TS 1 or 2 so I can't compare this one to previous movies. The toys are cute, the story predictable, and the ending was satisfying (but a little "sappy"). I thought that parts of the movie were too intense for very young children...and the bear, baby doll, monkey, and Ken were villainous and creepy. Also, the middle of the movie was a little slow. Best part: the 3D! Favorite characters: Woody and the telephone.
