Toy Story 3

The most mature (but not the best) Pixar, this time following in the footsteps of the runaway classics whose clichés it playfully and imaginatively plays with. It’s almost surprising how much it has in "feeling" in common with Svěrák's Kooky, and not just because of the pink Teddy-bear. (20/06/2010)

Toy Story has grown up along with its longtime childhood admirers. We were like Andy in the first installment, and even though we are now older than he is by the time the third installment came around, it still works. With extremely touching nostalgia, a perfect escape from prison, and the conclusion of Andy's saga, where everything falls into place. Pixar created a timeless trilogy that will never age, no matter where the next adventure takes place. (12/02/2011)

Only exceptionally can the third part of the free series be said to surpass its predecessors. It is a surprisingly mature film that works excellently with human emotions and, although overflowing with sentiment, manages to dose it so cleverly that at least in my case it struck the right chord and I was more excited about Toy Story 3 than the surrounding crowd in the movie theater. It is a story of the inevitable end of a fateful relationship and the resulting life changes, such as the departure of children from home and the establishment of new families. The toys in the household, in which they have spent their entire existence, must come to terms with the boy's coming of age and his departure to college. As a second theme and genre setting, it is a film about rebellion against established orders, in this case against the dictatorship of the pink beast named Lotso alias the adorable plush teddy bear, and about a grand escape that competes in precision and inventiveness with any exciting contemporary thriller. The screenplay and technical aspects of the film are at a top level, and Toy Story 3 made the best impression on me. I rank it among the absolute best animated blockbusters right after Shrek and Ratatouille. Overall impression: 95%. (21/06/2010)

The third installment of Toy Story was the best one as far as I’m concerned. Compared to the previous films, it presents itself as a chilling thriller/horror with a happy ending. Not even Chucky can compare with the scary and badass Big Baby. If I were a toy, I definitely wouldn't be able to sleep after watching this film. Not to mention the horrors that occur in the Caterpillar room. Compared to that, all the films with the word Asylum in the title pale in comparison. As a bonus, there’s Barbie and Ken's fashion show. A clear 5 stars. (13/08/2016)

It is probably because animation has made incredible strides forward, both in terms of story and visuals, that this "Toy Story" appealed to me the most out of all three. Furthermore, even though it seems like a typical script, there are interesting twists, sometimes unexpected, and especially intriguing new characters. Of course, the old favorites are not missing either. Pixar is still in great form after all these years. (10/04/2014)
