Toy Story 3 (2010, G)

           The Toy Story films all share a good moral message between them.  Toy Story 3 is the third and probably final installemt in the acclaimed and very successful franchise, that is today rated among the best movie trilogies ever made. 

Toy Story 3 is a very good movie, but also relies heavily on the humor and moral themes present in the previous films.  The story this time is that Andy has grown up, and is going to college, so he's giving up his old toys.  Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) still believes in Woody, so tries to convince his other buddies that.  However, they don't believe him, and want to move on, telling Woody to give up on Andy.  Woody refuses to, but he then has to save his friends when they are imprisoned in a Day Care by the pink teddy bear Lotzo.

So Toy Story 3 is a very good movie; in fact, it's one of the better films and easily the best animated film of 2010.  That said, it has impressive though not groundbreaking animation.  I don't think it's quite as good as either of it's predecessors simply because in many ways it feels like a simple repeat of both of them, but it's still just as entertaining and enjoyable as both of the previous movies.

I enjoyed Toy Story 3 because it's entertaining, funny and has a good story.  It has received critical acclaim, and has broken box-office records, becoming one of the highest grossing movies of all time.

All that said, Toy Story 3 is not an extraordinary film; but it is a very good one.
