I was expecting it to be more of a kid movie with lots of cute animals with cute antics. I was charmed by this movie. Matt Damon was playing himself-a dad. His eyes would light up when his daughter, played by a delightful child actor-Maggie Elizabeth Jones, would have something wise to say. I would not bring small children to this movie as they may get bored. This is a good family movie for children over the age of 9. There are many scenes with the animals and people interacting. Scarlett Johansson plays her character very understated and is suited to this role. Worth your time to see this movie!
I must say it was worth an 11 year wait to the conclusion of the Toy Story series. I will not spoil the ending but it was great. The characters were not as developed as in the other movies, however, most people should already be aquainted with the main characters. there are scenes that small childern may find disturbing as well as one of the new charcters was creepy. Overall, one of the best movies I have seen in a long time!
