uftakiToy Story 3... OMG. Toy. Story. 3.
...
WOW AND AWESOMENESS AND LOVE LOVE LOVE so much love! It was incredible it was EPIC it was heartwarming it was heartwrenching it was... ...just so much EMOTION packed into each and every frame... each and every MOMENT. It was superb. Pixar, you've definately done it again. You've gone "to infinity and beyond" with this one. I left the theater with a LUMP in my throat... crying and smiling at the same time by getting so SO caught up in this story and all of its characters.
These comments will NOT be in any definite order... I'll just be rambling/gushing about points as I think of them.
First off, just the opening, re-hashing Andy's plot from the first movie (and more), but all from the perspective of his imagination was glorious and funny. It started on a high note, and just went on from there.
Ken's fashion show. OMG. I was in hysterics. xD The relationship between Ken and Barbie was very cute and sweet, too. :3
But that couldn't beat Buzz and Jessie's relationship! :D Oh so funny and adorable and tender... and hilarious. XD Spanish!Buzz was a HOOT and a HALF! XD When he was dancing circles around Jessie and she just had this "omgwtf..!??" expression on her face... *lol* And - forgive me for being a romantic sap here - but when he was carrying her through the garbage truck, when the trash was being dumped in, and she looked up at him, in slow motion. Cheezy, yeah. But sweet. And even that got ramped-up to 11, when in the incinerator, and in full-grasp of his sanity again, Buzz just silently reached out to hold her hand, and the two looked at each other... That was touching. :) (and “I know about Buzz’s Spanish mode” at the end was just cute. xD)
And talk about TENSE, too. x.x Ohmigod. There was a real, definite moment, when they were all in the incinerator, when they all linked hands.... I REALLY feared that they WOULD all go in. D: I just had NO idea HOW they were going to ESCAPE that. I couldn’t believe Pixar would DO that to them, but.. it just all seemed to be GOING that way, and my mind was going “no way, no way…. aahhhhh!!! D:” My eyes were as wide as saucers and my heart was in my throat. And then.... THE CLAAAAAAAAAAAAW!! Yaaay little Pizza Planet aliens!! :D I let out this huge mental cheer, and clapped out loud at that scene.
We had a great audience, too. :3 People were laughing, and cheering, and even sobbing at all the right parts, and were really into the movie. It was a great experience, watching the movie with an engaged audience like that. There were a lot of funny scenes; the aforementioned Ken, Spanish!Buzz, torilla-head Mr. Potato head... Barbie disguising herself in Ken's space-suit outfit to get Buzz's instruction manual, and the bookworm noticing her high heels and JUST ROLLING HIS EYES AND SIGHING!! XD And others I just can’t remember ATM. ^_^;
Pixar really ramped up the drama in this instalment. In many scenes. Sometimes it was a quiet tension, like their breakout from the daycare.. and others were the high-power tension with the whole garbage dump bit. @__x
Thought Lotso the bear was definitely going to have his redeeming moment, in the conveyor belt, to shut it off… but then… NOPE! Totally sych-out. I rather knew Pixar wouldn’t let anyone die, even a villian (though that was put through some SERIOUS DOUBT when they were all in the incinerator, and the bear had left). Knew he had to get his comeuppance somehow, though, and getting strapped to the grill of the garbage truck was pretty good. X3 He WAS pretty horrendous (even with the bad background)... especially when he was yelling at the baby doll and smashed her/his? tag (the raspberry the baby blew after tossing Lotso in the dumpster, though... that was cute. xD)... among other things. Also, poor phone getting all broken. D: Was happy to see him fixed at the end. ^__^ Yay for Ken and Barbie working to make the daycare a better place in the credits. :3 And yay for the army guys parachuting down into there, at the end, too. That was a cute touch. XD So was the 'tag teaming' of those two rough-toys, in the toddler-room, during the end credits. Things definately seem better there.
Some people have noted -- and this goes to show all the work, and dedication to DETAIL Pixar does -- that the garbage man with the headphones, banging on the mailbox and tins, was actually SID, from the first movie! :D And also that Woody’s right arm was stuffed a little more than his left, in-keeping with the end of the 2nd movie. Great work, guys; both Pixar for adding all these little things in, and the sharp-eyed viewers that caught ‘em!
Yay for the Totoro plush toy! :D Great nod to Miyazaki there. ^__^
One part I'm sad about, is that Bo wasn't anywhere in this, after they'd mentioned how she had left their group (and Etch, and Wheezy, etc. :( ). I was just.. expecting her to pop up at the end, them finding out she had been sold TO that family, in a garage sale years earlier, but... no. Ah well. As my mom said, when mentioning that to her, sometimes, not everyone DOES get a 'perfect ever-after'. They're happy, most of them are all together... the ones that stuck through it all the longest... The ones that went on all the ADVENTURES together. It's just that Woody's sad face when Bo was mentioned at the start just made me go "aww. D:", and that they weren't reuinited somehow. Ah well. At least - for the most part - everyone DID get a "happily ever after, together". ^_^
And that ending. Wow. I got SO choked up over it. I had this lump in my throat, and tears in my eyes through it all. I never thought Andy WOULD end up giving all his toys away, even Woody. But him sitting there with little Bonnie.. telling her about each and every toy, one by one.. circling them all around her. Speaking of his love of them all.. able to HEAR the love he had for them all in his voice, as he spoke about them -- and THEY could hear how much he cared about them all, too.. Then finally, Woody. Him just holding Woody, and saying how long they’d been together and all, then just asking her so very sincerely, quietly, if she could take good care of them all.. And then his leaving, and Woody saying goodbye to HIM, too. *sniffles* Sad.. sad moment, yes.. I’m still a bit choked up just remembering it. Andy saying goodbye to Woody, letting Woody go.. and Woody letting go of Andy.. But the toys are still all together. They’re still FAMILY.. and they have another person to play with them and care about them.. When Woody was in there earlier, in her house, and saw how she played with them, just as Andy played with them before.. When Woody was writing that note, I wondered what it was about. Then I wondered if he was just making sure that all of his friends would be somewhere where they would be loved, and played with, rather than kept in storage up in the attic, while he was off in college with Andy.. and then when you saw WOODY at the bottom of that box.. Yeah. MAJOR tears and one HUGE lump in my throat there. Through that WHOLE scene. I still have that lump in my throat.
It was just such a TOUCHING scene.. What a way to end the series. Pixar, I doff my hat to you. I knew it would be good, but I never expected it to be THIS good. To make us all care SO much for these characters, and what they go through. For leading us all through this story -- these stories.. all three -- and making us care, and feel such emotions.. THANK YOU.
