15 years has past, and my faith in Pixar did not break; "Toy Story 3" shakes the cinema as a groundbreaking masterpiece, a masterpiece pertaining the pure love and joy we rarely see in any kind of movies.

Pixar has managed to take perfection and bottle it within 2 hours of the most riveting storytelling I've ever seen.

It's unbelievable how good this film is. It's a rare occurrence where a franchise of three films have been consecutively good box office and critic wise. Definitely worth the watch and worth the eleven years of waiting for this masterpiece of animation.

can't escape the feeling that Toy Story 3 is being terribly overrated by critics and moviegoers alike. Critics are calling it "heartbreaking" and "inspiring", and a movie critic from NYT even went as far as calling it "a deep, complex take on mortality". Seriously? Personally, I found Toy Story 3 of being a surprisingly formulaic and unappealing movie of the following reasons. Firstly, the same story formula is being recycled for the third time! Just like in the other two movies, the toys are separated from Andy. Overall, the plot just feels like one big excuse to move the characters from the backdrop of Andy's room to the daycare center where the story is being transformed into a prison break parody, filled with plot-twists, slapstick humor and gay-jokes, directly aimed at the adults in the audience. But the worst thing is that this movie isn't treating the characters with respect. Rather than having them develop beyond the minimal standard required for the plot, the directors focused more on having them do stupid things and end up in stupid situations. There are about a dozen different toys in the series now, most of which only functions as comic relief characters that stick around in the background. The majority of these toys spend more times being chewed on by drooling babies than showing any character development, whatsoever. Buzz and Woody are really the only ones worth mentioning, which is sad, because both Woody and Buzz are terribly simplistic in this third installment. Woody is the same few-worded, whiny character he was in the other two movies. But it's okay. He doesn't change because the plot requires him to stay the same. But Woody was never the star of this series. It was the space ranger, Buzz, who stole the show back in 1995. In Toy Story 3, the ugly doll is reduced to pure, stupid and brain-dead entertainment. The only character development Buzz Lightyear demonstrates isn't more complex than the switching on the button in his back. He spends the majority of the movie in "demo-mode", delivering catchphrases and references to his delusional space-persona. And it's funny about the first time he does it and not quite as funny about the tenth time. And he spends the rest of the movie as a surprisingly distasteful and offensive Spanish stereotype. And really, oh so devoted Pixarfans, doesn't the fact that the directors would take Buzz Lightyear and change him so carelessly in the film speak volumes of their indifference to their own characters' personalities? I just can't figure out what, if anything, makes this movie so good. From my point of view, It is terrible! And it becomes even more staggering when you think about how other animated movies, personal favorites that are by far more sophisticated and complex; Like How to Train Your Dragon and Bolt, are being pushed in the background to make way for the unyielding glorification of Pixar. Okay, both of these movies have been met fairly well by critics, particularly Dragon, but none of them have received the attention Toy Story 3 received, despite being more deserving. My personal favorite, Bolt, was very underrated, almost overlooked, when realized back in 2008.… Expand

Did they need to make this movie? No. Will you feel emotionally invested in the movie by its end? Absolutely. Has it simply been too many years since the previous movies to enjoy this movie fully? I think so... It just didn't feel fresh from beginning to end, and I can't award a movie for best ending. Sorry.

This the just most epic animated movie bar none, and that feels like an understatement. From start to finish, this film delivers unrivalled quality of storytelling, excitement and humour. This was pretty much the perfect end to Pixar's most loved movie series and still excellent as a stand alone film. Toy Story 3 is one of those few animated films that has everything an audience can possibly ask for. It surpasses the likes of Shrek, Kung-Fu Panda, Finding Nemo and Lion King to show exactly what the people behind Pixar are capable of. (I know the mentioned films are not made by Pixar except for finding nemo). It may have been 10 years since its predecessor but the wait was definitely worth it. Toy Story 3 could very well be the film of this year and should easily be the best animated feature film in 2010.… Expand

Easily tops Toy Story 1, and 2. One of pixars finest! BRAVO!

Toy Story 2 worked so well because the new toys and their relationship to the main character(s) were compelling (Woody's Roundup). They made you cry and laugh all at the same time while having a sense of belonging and purpose. The main cast of toys also had to deal with complex issues which brought a more relate-able feel to their plight and subsequent resolve. This movie lacks all that. The new characters are not likable (pink bear + big baby) and serve little purpose other than the movie needs a villain. The main group of toys are back of course, but this time are just put through cliche Hollywood action/escape sequences for the majority of the movie with no relationship issues. So what we are essentially left with is Toy Story 2 (with Woody's role switched with the rest of the toys), but with a dose of "why should we care we've seen this exact same thing already only better executed." Don't get me wrong this is not a bad movie (there are gags to pass the time), but for the first time Toy Story felt stale (same plot disguised as a new movie with nothing new to offer). The last 5-10 minutes of the film, however, I thought were great and recaptured the essence of the first two films. Too bad there wasn't more of that. Definitely go watch it, but just realize you're witnessing the end of the Toy Story franchise. The writers had and have nothing left to offer.… Expand

Make way to movie of the year? Yes Pixar has done it again, toy story 3 is in a class of it's own!

Toy Story 3 had a lot to live up to, but Pixar delivered-as expected. I absolutely loved it! You'll laugh, cry, and share tender moments with these toys who have grown up with us since the late 90's. It's the darkest Pixar film yet, but it delivers on all fronts. The 3-D version is useless, though. I recommend seeing it in 2-D. Anyways, go see this film. Give it a chance. I promise you that you won't regret it. Oh, and by the way, Ken and Buzz Lightyear (Spanish Version) steal the show. You'll know what I mean by that when you see it. A 10/10.… Expand

When i was little i thought that the Toy Story franchise will never come back, but they did and boy they hit me hard with good old childhood memories. This movie is the best in its series and is one of my all time favorites. So if your not doing anything, you need to watch Toy Story 3.

We feel this movie might make kids was to kill themselves. This series has always been depressing and nothing you can actually take home with you. Yeah it's got the whole cast back which was long awaiting. This series started off a lot of the CG genre, but there's nothing to actually make you feel good about yourself. If you're sadistic and want your kids or other peoples kids to cry, sure get the movie, but look at it emotionally and mental wise. Is it healthy for your kid to see that stuff? 'Yeah look another funny movie with cool stuff in it, oh wait my kids crying?' Thanks Disney, just like Wall-e kill that main cast member, put some more depression in kids lives. No, this movie wasn't great besides the 3D and CG effects.… Expand

Truly a masterpiece of storytelling and animation. Pixar's triumphant closing title to their landmark trilogy is a metaphor on life, telling us all (especially those of us who grew up with it) to treat each other with kindness respect, even when we are not getting it in return. See it in 2D, 3D is a gimmick and a headache!

Excellent sequel. Another outstanding Pixar movie. Some scenes may be too scary for 6 or under, 7 and up to senior citizens will love this film. Never a wasted moment, scene, or line of dialog; Toy Story 3 is worthy of an Academy Award for Best Movie of the Year award.

I don't know why I was even I even get surprised anymore with Pixar. All they make are good to absolute masterpiece movies. Toy Story 3 is not only the best of the trilogy, but quite possibly the best of all the Pixar movies.

Mediocre at best.

This movie was rather disappointing in my opinion. I am a huge fan of TS and TS2, but I thought the current rendition wastes endless potential by trying to make too many references to the past two movies. The end result is a slap-dash compilation of previous gag crutches and slapstick. The few humorous AND original scenes to be found are fleeting, but nonetheless, remain memorable. Overall, it was tiresome wading through so much frantic rehashing to get that rare breath of originality, but those moments are worth seeing. Sort of a toss up!… Expand

A very good film. I was 4 when the first 'Toy Story' came out, and I'm now 19, and about to begin University, so mine and Andy's situations are fairly similar. While I am not nearly as sentimental about my old toys as Andy is-to be honest I barely remember them- I relate to his childhood nostalgia. And to nostalgia for Toy Story, of course. Apparently, one of the major themes of the film is growing up and the impermanence of life; well, I've only really become aware of the passing of time recently, because I'm now at the age where enough time has passed for me to notice the changes since childhood. This movie speaks to my current zeitgeist, and that of quite a few other people I'm sure.… Expand

A truly touching movie. I found it made good, fun and original references to the earlier movies. The movie left we the my good memories of all the old toys. The comedy is simple, good, and fresh. I felt like this sequel tooks its time and ended the trilogy in the best way leaving nothing behind, including old characters.

Pixar does it again! They are not only the best animation studio but one of the best studio's period in crafting a story and characters people care about; while keeping things fun.

Although so many have said it was less inspiring or under par compared to 1 and 2. I would have to say i whole hearted disagree. I loved the first two and how the characters just bought you back to childhood. But I would have to say number 3 delivered more laughs and although more directed towards an older audience it outclassed the originals if only by a small margin.

Quite simply one of the best film Ive seen this year. Packed with that Pixar goodness. surprise cameos and a perfect mix of a lost childhood, showing the situation from different aspects. With creative, loveable and well done characters and animations, Toy Story 3 lives up to the first two films, and even outshines them.

Pixar makes yet another great film. Toy Story 3 presents us with the idea of growing up and moving on with life. And this is heartbreaking but you empathise and journey back to your own experiences with growing up. In some ways, it’s a bad thing because kids might not get that. If it were up to me – this would be the Best Picture Oscar right here but we’ll see later on to this second half of the year…… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Toy Story 3 is a time capsule of a movie. I remeber growing up back in the 90s and Toy Story was the big deal for children. Woody, Buzz Lightyear and co. have been taken to a day care in this installment of the Toy Story trilogy. This was of course an accident caused by Andy's mum. The day care is ruled by a bear who smells of Strawberries "Lotso". I don't want give anything else away so I'll just say my honest thoughts and that'll be it. PIXAR's best since LAST YEAR'S UP. Geez, PIXAR keeps making masterpieces frequently. Wall-E was perfect as well as Ratatouille, Up, Toy Story 1,2 and 3, Monster's Inc., and The Incredibles with the exception of A Bugs Life and Cars which were the only disappointing ones on my list. PIXAR's done another funny, emotional and exciting as hell masterpiece. Should be nominated for best picture. Hell with that, IT SHOULD WIN!!!!!!!!!!… Expand

Pixar (unsurprising) has done it again, made a movie so good that you don't want the damn movie to end, ever. "Toy Story 3" has all the hallmarks of a Toy Story film; familiar characters, gut busting jokes, top-notch animation, and excellent voice acting. What really sets this one apart is the emotional factor in this film, a thundering ending that will leave you undoubtedly in tears. Transcending the previous efforts and coming out as unapologetically dark, "Toy Story 3" will rock you to your core.… Expand

Disney strikes a 3rd knockout Toy Story picture with Toy Story 3, though seemingly lacking something from the other 2 films, it is still likely to be one of the best films of the new decade.

Toy Story 3 was the best sequel compare to the same Toy Story 2 that there are both best sequels ever,since Star Wars Original Trilogy. I love this movie and I really love it to watch this. The images are pretty good to watch and they did a lot of work with the animation and they also did a lot of work with the better story. This is the last trilogy that they made the best animation film ever. The Toy Story saga is complete and we will remember three movies at our hearts.… Expand

I loved the first and the second. The third one is just hilarious . I was waiting what the plot was going to be like and I just loved it. It was worth waiting eleven years to finally see how toy story ends. The most surprising fact was that I cried like a baby.

I have never before been so emotionally invested in a movie before. I've started to sleep with my teddy again, so he never feels like they do. Toy Story 3 is a beautiful story, and while it's not a perfect 10, it's as close as it gets!

A true masterpiece and the best movie of 2010! Thank you Pixar for introducing us into their magical world back in 1995, giving us an amazing sequel in 1999, and ending the trilogy on a very high note in 2010!

This is probably the best movie I ever watched. It was funny and emotional at the same time. I'll miss Toy Story.

Toy Story 3 managed to continue the excellent streak of the "Toy Story" series! Not only is the animation simply impeccable, but all of the technical aspects of the film just work perfectly. The story, just like the previous two, is amazingly fresh, interesting and highly engaging. What always surprises me with such animated films is the level of emotional depth that they manage to delve into. I still prefer Wall-E (I think no animated film ever will top that one for me), but Toy Story 3 is all about friendship, loyalty and trust - just what we need to remind ourselves nowadays. Amazingly beautiful, exciting, entertaining, and educational, "Toy Story 3" manages to bring yet another generation of kids under its wing, keeping (and even widening) the love we, who grew up with it, had for the first two films. Excellent!… Expand

This movie is funny, exciting, dramatic (at times) and heartfelt because BOY DID I CRY. It may have been even better than The Social Network and stood up to all heavyweight films of 2010

Great trilogy of animated films. It feels like I grew up with these movies, I was around Andy's age when the first movie came out and now I'm in college like he is now. It's my favorite of the 3.

Toy Story 3 is a heartfelt, highly original and creative family-friendly flick. One of Pixar's best, and a nice send off to a classic trilogy. 4/4 stars.

This movie is just awesome no matter your age. The story is fantastic~! And the animation is excellent. Pixar has delivered again. It is rare to see such movies made anymore. I think that this film will be a future classic!

If you are around the age of 20 and have seen Toy Story 1 and 2; I think its impossible to not love this movie. Its beautiful. And its an experience that you can only get if you followed the movie from the start to this, which is a true shame for the future generations.

The other 2 toy story's were great but this one takes the cake. Never has a film felt so real with its characters even though they were just toys an achievement like no other for pixar. the ending is classic and will leave some in tears. one of the best pictures of the year

It is amazing to witness an animated movie that is so powerful. It has a very human connection about it. This was clearly the best of the series. It hit all the right notes and is strikingly emotional.

AMAZING film. I watched this movie just for the pure nostalgia of watching the other Toy Story movies as a child. It has a perfect balance of laughs, plot, witty charms, and everything else you can think of. The characters feel like actual humans instead of a bunch of binary codes in a fixed position. The story is unforgettable and will be remembered for years to come (that is, unless, you like DreamWorks more [ugh...]). I suggest you get this movie, no matter what you age is.… Expand

What a magnificent movie just like I expected from toy story. It's brilliant, gorgeous and doesn't ruin the trilogy. Toy Story is like the Lord of Rings of animation.

Though I gave this movie a 10, I would caution some parents that it is very scary and dark at times in this movie for little kids. I took my 5 and 3 year old sons. They both enjoyed it, but there were times when it was completely over their heads and other times that were scary and sad for them. Still a great movie, but I think my boys will actually like this when their older.

An extremely nostalgic and happy experience.

Amazing film, great movie for everyone, it will make you go back to your childhood, back to that first time you saw toy story...very clever, funny, simply a masterpiece.

Hysterical, incredible. All the elements that make up a great toy story.

Simply stated, a phenomenal film!

I loved this movie. At the end I was crying I just graduated college and it brought all those emotions back to me. I was still in grade school when the first one came out and remembered seeing that in theaters also. It was funny how very few kids were in the theater it was mostly people in my age group(early to mid 20's). I great movie, this was the best movie I have seen in the 21 years on this earth.… Expand

This is the best Pixar movie to date, and arguably the best movie I've ever seen. Definitely the best animated film I've ever seen. It deserves Best Picture next year, and for so many amazing reasons. The story was really sophisticated with emotions I've never felt before in a kids movie. It was the pinnacle of movie perfection, and anyone who grew up with Toy Story should bask in its glory.… Expand

The perfect conclusion to the now best film trilogy in existence. This is the only film trilogy in existence I can say that all 3 films were perfect and without flaws. This beautiful film is simply fantastic and is extremely nostalgic and a lot more meaningful to those of us (like me) who have grown up with this series. With an extremely emotional conclusion that made me cry this is a must see movie. (also I am 17 and love this film so nobody say it's a kids movie cause it really isn't it is just a movie for everybody.… Expand

Hands down the best animated movie every created. One of my favourite films of all time. I grew up with Toy Story, so I was a little worried about them ruining the franchise when I heard about the third movie, but boy was I wrong! This movie is beyond amazing. The animation, the voice acting, the story, the characters... All spot on perfect!

While not as good as the second it does wrap up the story brilliantly. It is a funny, action filled and heart-warming at the same time. If you have very young children there is a scene that is rather scary but of course Woody, Buzz and the game pull through. The end is sad because it is certainly the end of the series.

Fantastic! Best adventure movie since African Queen 1951 Pixar raises the bar on animation again

It concludes a solid trilogy. I don't believe it is the best, but it succeeds where most threequals are unsuccessful. The story continues its storyline with nostalgia, and energizes us with the characters that we have grown up with.

I almost shed a tear at the end. The movie is funny, sad, moving. The last time I felt that way was when I watched Jurasic Bark from Futurama. Growing hurts.

i have been waiting 10 years for this and i have just one thing to say. Well worth the wait!

Had Mom and Dad in tears while 3 year was on the edge of his seat, rooting for Buzz and Woody to pull through again. Instant classic!!!

Have you ever watched a movie that took you back to your childhood and brought back those feelings of innocence you had as a child? It's that kind of movie magic that fills the screen for the entire movie. A truly magnificent work of art.

An excellent ending to a nigh-perfect trilogy.

I truly cannot contemplate a single way to improve this film, it has earned the status of a masterpiece and a classic to last for years to come.

TS3 a beautiful warm,touching,fun and classic movie of all times.

Funny, smart, intertextual, lovely, charming and ORIGINAL! riveting throughout and has lots of heart without being sentimental. Imagination runs wild, the toys are never ending, the characters bursting with life! loved the new character girl. Daughter - 3 years old - was ecstatic. It's hard to believe it, but you did it again, PIXAR! To the whole team, hats off!

Incredible movie! Pixar does it again. The way it is put together is amazing and brings out nearly every emotion. The way that Pixar develops movies continues to impress me and shows that they are truly revolutionaries and geniuses in their field.

You know there's going to be a lot of hype following a movie such as Toy Story 3. The thing about this movie, though, is that it surpasses the hype. It's funny, it's dramatic and it's as touching as you could ever ask for. In all honesty, this series is fifteen years of my life well spent. Highly recommended to anyone and everyone. From kids to adults, you will love this movie.… Expand

Awesome, awesome film. Sometimes it was scary, sometimes it was sad, but at all times it was heart warming.

Simply outstanding; the subtle adult humor is ingenious

The perfect sequel to a disney movie. Worthy of best film.

Absolutely fantastic! I loved every bit of it!

This movie is an excellent sequel. In a little less than two hours, I felt happiness, sadness, and even fear. It almost made me cry. Pixar has proven that they are able to make films that are fun for kids and deep for adults.

Best of the three Toy Story films and best movie of the year. The story is brilliant, the 3D is incredible and I was engaged every second. Can't wait to see it again!

A great movie that is among Pixar's best.

Had me in tears. If this was the final chapter (which i hope it was because it was the perfect ending) it made me feel sad, like I was saying goodbye to some of my best friends. Great job Pixar! Couldn't ask for a better ending!

Great Movie! Great send off.

Fantastic movie - I saw it with my grown children, all veterans of the previous movies and we all enjoyed it immensely. it was inventive, fun, touching, thrilling and poignant. i could see it again right now.

Amazing movie! Easily the best film I've seen this year!

Perfect movie in every aspect. Thank you Pixar.

Best Toy Story movie, best movie I've seen in a long time. Gripping emotional scenes, themes of abandonment and uncertainty, action, conspiracy, light-hearted humor, and a very charming take on something that has become a bit of a cliche in children's movies-the foreign accented comic relief. The movie started with a montage that made me tear up a little bit, and a scene towards the end brought on full tears rolling down my cheeks. The most I've been moved by a movie in a really long time. Being 26(11 when the first movie came out), I felt that Pixar centered this movie at me and others in my generation who saw the first one as a child moreso than the children of today. Masterpiece of animation.… Expand

It's a solid movie. The beginning short clip is amazing. Overall, I say it falls under Rataouille and UP, which were surprise packages but the movie is very engaging.

To come out and make a third film in a beloved franchise is a risky move, and to make that film decent is good enough work, but to make it absolutely phenomenal. That's brilliant. The people at PIxar are truly masters of their craft. I'll never know how they do it, but I'm not going to complain. TS3 blends action, adventure, comedy, and heartache all in one beautiful package. Although it is technically a children's movie, it is very mature in dealing with its subject matters: growing up, nostalgia, and losing the creativity that is childhood to name a few. No other animated movie can keep you on the edge of your seat with action one moment, then choke you up the next. Growing up is something we all experience. It can be sad and painful, but the creators of TS3 have shed the light of happiness on it. Thank you Pixar, for putting the sweet, sweet cherry on top of one incredible trilogy.… Expand

Brilliant. The best in the series by far, and in my opinion, Pixar's best film to date. But were you expecting any less from Pixar? Its like they're humanly impossible to make a bad film. If your still a bit sceptical about Pixar's next few movies being sequels, Toy Story 3 will definately make you a believer.

Stunning visually. The most--how shall we say this-- emotional film I have seen in at least ten years. There were several times throughout this film when i struggled to hold back the tears, but in the last five minutes of this film, the dam broke, and the tears came flooding out. Fabulous film-- unbelievable way to end the most memorable trilogy of my life.

Pixar had it right from the start and to this day have yet to fail in delivering grand entertainment-Toy Story 3 stands tall and proud beside the groundbreaking original and its sequel TS3 is not only a great film that takes on an array of emotion-truth with grace and a sense of honesty that so many films lack or strive to achieve Ive loved this series more than any other since i was 11years old im 26 now and ive laughed cried and understood so much with this films true art the child in me lives on and matures thanks to the creators ..." so long partner".… Expand

Stunning.

Just about perfect. You will experience every emotion in the spectrum. One moment you laugh until it hurts, and then another you are touched deeply by the loyalties being shown by the characters, and then at the end you have maybe the most bittersweet conclusion to a movie in a long while. Seeing this is just essential. Pixar films are officially the best argument that popular entertainment can achieve the level of art.… Expand

This is the best Pixer movie yet! I highly recommend this movie to everyone. Both kids and adults will love.

Everything you could possibly want in a movie. Who would have though that a day care center could be so adventurous. Ken totally steals the show!!!!

This movie was absolutely amazing. Granted, I'm a fan of basically all of Pixar's work, I was skeptical of TS3 solely because I was afraid that a third installment wasn't totally necessary. How WRONG I WAS. Easily the best movie I have seen in years, I've watched it twice already. The critics giving it below an 85 often complain about the overarching story, but I completely disagree with them and this story has more depth and evokes more emotion than any other "children's" movie I've seen.… Expand

This movie for me is an instant classic I think this is my favorite of the three. I'm already looking forward to seeing it again. Way to go Pixar for knocking this one out of the park. Well worth the ticket price.

Awesome movie. Defiantly a must see for all ages.

There is something to be said when I always seem to laugh, get teary eyed and more tense in Pixar movies than any other. They convey emotions and the essence of humanity far better than any other films studio. With Toy Story the original you realize what is special about childhood. Toy Story 2 shows how scary growing up and out of your childhood can be for those who care about you. and Toy Story 3 shows that you can still have the special relationship with those who you hold close, while moving on to new pastures to give what you still can to others. The final scene in the is one of the most well conceived and fulfilling scenes I've ever seen.… Expand

Entertaining from start to finish. Wish there were more like it> I liked it, my teenage grandson liked it and my 4 year old granddaughter liked it. The 3D effects were super.

Easily the best movie of 2010! The ending almost made me cry, the animation was top notch, and the story wasn't predictable at all. All I can say is that waiting 11 years for a masterpiece, was definitely worth it.

Eight of us went covering 3 generations. Seven of us loved it, the eighth one didn't, but thats ok she never likes anything. So its great they did a great job of Andy growing up, and yet still caring about his toys.

I have no words to describe the best and most profound film that the cinema has made a masterpiece, above works like titanic, avatar, et,. and even wall-e.

The pinnacle of animated film-making, Toy Story 3 is what every family movie should strive to be; funny, heart-warming, fun, and imaginative. This movie hits home the values of friendship and the nature of childhood. It is certainly a movie that will be cherished by many for a long time to come.

A beautiful, haunting instant classic. If Kubrick had made an animated movie, I have a feeling it would have resembled Toy Story 3. One of the best films I have ever seen.

I went in as a full Pixar believer but worrying this could be the one that disappoints as it seemed unnecessary. I loved every minute of it and it made me think of my 5 and 7 year old boys sitting beside me - about their incredible imaginations AND how quickly they are growing up. I was happy to have the 3D glasses to mask my tears.

A masterpiece could have been perfect if ended with incerator would have been beautifully tragic and yet an instant classic.

A Pixar-perfect ending to the best animated trilogy of all time. An amazing blend of comedy, suspense, drama and action, Toy Story 3 manages to continue the ever-so-warming feeling in our hearts when we see the toys put through the perils of separation and loyalty in the movie.
