Toy Story 3

This is a movie, you should really really not miss! It has been released in 3d too, but you could skip the third dimension. The 3d effects are clean just like in Alice in Wonderland, but not necessarily needed.

The movie starts with, sorry I cannot miss the part before the movie. There is an animation about day and night which is in no way connected to the movie. But it has been put there for your entertainment and your awe. It is very creative and only so, has made its way to Pixar. Do no miss that part (This is for all those like me, who generally miss the beginning of movies :P).

Now, the movie. It starts with a flashback, the kid playing with his toys. That part is particularly funny and cute and imaginative. Ever considered a death option like 'death by monkeys' :D Then reality dawns on Andy's toys. Andy has grown up and is moving out to go to college. He will no more play with his childhood favorites Woody and Buzz Lightyear. One statement that touched me was, one of the toys said "Yay, he touched me...he touched me". This was when Andy touched a toy to pick it up and place it in the storage trunk, where all his childhood toys now lied. All the toys like to be played with. But here they were feeling abandoned. Woody tries to keep all the toys together by explaining to them that even if Andy does not play with us anymore, he will not abandon us. He will keep us safe in his attic.
But then, as fate would have it, all the toys accidentally reach a day care center where there are lots of kids and toys they play with. All the toys are delighted that they would be played with after all, that is what they are made for. But woody is firm on his decision and feels that Andy needs them. He leaves the group and makes his way towards Andy. On the way he faces some difficulties and meets a small cute kid named (I don't remember her name) who takes very good care of her toys. And that's where he learns that the day care center is a nightmare for the toys. There is an evil bear who runs the place and the only way toys can leave that place is after they are dead i..e broken. Then starts the great escape and realization that Andy in fact meant to keep them in the attic and not abandon them.
The movie is very well made. The creativity and the thought behind each character is amazing. Even a toy's life is not as easy as it seems :).
What this movie did for me was, bring back all my childhood memories and transported me into a world where I had my Barbie dolls and Lego houses and all the dreams we then had as kids.
So, don't miss this movie. It is a must watch!
