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)

For the third time and still on fire. That's something unusual in animated franchises, and I'm glad to see that Toy Story is pure proof of its never-declining quality, even growing. I really liked all the references to the various films. Out of the whole trilogy, I liked this one the most, mainly because of the absolutely irresistible animation, the great script and the most developed story. Once again, they didn't forget to put additional scenes at the end, which were the icing on an already quite delicious cake. In short, these cute toys have pleased and got me for the third time and this time really above average. (31/12/2010)

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. (03/12/2018)

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)

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.
