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. (06/19/2010)

Phenomenal! A relentlessly entertaining game with genre traditions and the almost inexhaustible possibilities of its world, which in this case the creators milk to the last drop. After the reveal of the villains, the film picks up a glorious pace and I was several times fascinated over how it manages to integrate the changing moods and genres into a coherent adventure story for both kids and adults. The highlights are the horror doll and the Spanish speaking Buzz. The first two parts are among the best animated movies of their time, the third one is one of the best movies of the century. There, I said it. (12/02/2018)

A wonderful homage to the toy world, to the classic Hollywood style (which works much better here than in many other films for adults and goes much further than any genre parody, and it’s also more realistic than most fiction productions). Great Shape Barbie and Animal Loving Ken rock on all fronts. This is nostalgia in which every minute and every idea works... (09/02/2010)

Toy Story 3 met my expectations about halfway. I suppose I was expecting it to be a bit more daring and I consider the "Prison Break" a severely missed opportunity. Those few winks at older viewers left me quite calm, so I spent over an hour admiring how good the world looks in HD. Then the toys joined hands and I got an emotional punch that brought tears to my eyes that lasted until everyone was sitting on the lawn. In terms of its runtime, though, it seems pretty short to me.

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. (02/12/2011)
