Movie Info

Pixar returns to their first success with Toy Story 3. The movie begins with Andy leaving for college and donating his beloved toys -- including Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz (Tim Allen) -- to a daycare. While the crew meets new friends, including Ken (Michael Keaton), they soon grow to hate their new surroundings and plan an escape. The film was directed by Lee Unkrich from a script co-authored by Little Miss Sunshine scribe Michael Arndt. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

'Toy Story 3': Alternately affecting, hilarious and heartbreaking and the most original prison-escape movie ever made

It's sadder and scarier than its predecessors, but it also may be the most important chapter in the tale.

The gags are all of a piece, right up to the forlorn yet enchanting finale.

At its best, most moving moments, Toy Story 3 is a story about the pang of a young adult moving away from home and leaving child-like things behind.

It hits every button from laughter to tears and lifts you up on waves of visual dazzlement. And you don't need to take a kid along to appreciate it... Tag it as one of the year's best.

It's still more inventive, clever and laugh-out-loud funny than any other movie out there now.

Toy Story 3 is probably the best of the series ...

June 30, 2011 Full Review Source: The Ooh Tray | Comment

Another worthy entry in a much-heralded series that amounts to a prison break story as exciting in its own way as Steve McQueen's "The Great Escape".

"Toy Story 3" is a bit on the safe side, hemmed in by its concept from offering the imagination that makes the best Pixar has to offer so good ... but the filmmakers still understand real heart.

I can understand the creators not wanting to sugarcoat life merely because the colors are brighter and voices chirpier, but why is Toy Story 3 so intent on being such a manipulative downer?

Woody, Buzz & Co. triumph again but lose a bit of magic.

Sin llegar a la altura de las dos primeras entregas, esta tercera parte ofrece un muy digno cierre a la trilogía, con buenas dosis de acción, humor y emoción.

Pixar have once again reminded me that there is a way to create a film that not only appeals to just about everyone, but also prove that three-quels need not suck.

A story with timeless, universal themes: family, coming of age (and leaving behind childish things), and the inevitable time when, past our prime, we will all face potential social obsolence. [Blu-ray]

These toys may be old, but there's still plenty of mileage left in 'em.

It's funny, warm, clever, exciting and touching, a story of friendship and imagination and a last blast of childhood joy...

The audio is almost obscenely immersive, boasting some of the finest separations these ears have ever heard.

A fitting finale for a Disney trilogy guaranteed to resonate with kids of any age for generations to come.

It may be darker, but favorite moments abound in this film--Pixar treats that make "Toy Story 3" a fun film to watch over and over.

A heart-warming and funny installment to the Toy Story saga, it's suitable for both the adults and children and, quite frankly, it's amazing.
