Weekend Movie - Toy Story 3

Sigh. I love Pixar. They always have the best ideas and the best pre-movie cartoons. Pretty much every Pixar movie is worth watching over and over. They never get old or boring. If their office wasn't so far away, I would work for them. They definitely have some sort of magic yogurt that they consume that allows them to make such amazing movies and Toy Story 3 is no different. It was getting great reviews, so my friends and I saw it at the El Capitan in RealD 3D, which is just a projector in case you wonder what the difference is.

The opening cartoon is called Night and Day and is just super clever. I won't give too much away, but it's basically about facing the unknown and not being so afraid of it. Everything unknown soon becomes known and comfortable. It's cute with a good message. The movie itself is very clever as well with a lot of feeling and passion. I know that may spark gag reflexes, but it's true. Towards the end, I could have cried if I wasn't trying really hard not to. Andy is going off to college and packing up his room and towards the end, the mom walks into the room and sees that it's empty and starts to cry and I could have lost it right then and there. It doesn't help that I'm moving out of my parents house soon, but it's just so endearing. Andy also gives his favorite toys to a little girl who would actually play with them instead of keep them in a box in the attic and I could have cried at that scene too. Andy is happy to give his toys away to someone who would play with them, but he's also sad because he's basically giving up his childhood.

All I have to say is that I'm never giving away any toy with a face ever again after this movie. See it. It's really good.
