In Toy Story 3, Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the rest of the Toy Story gang return for an all-new adventure, along with a few new faces - some plastic, some plush - including Barbie's counterpart Ken, a thespian hedgehog named Mr. Pricklepants and a strawberry-scented bear. As Andy prepares to depart for college, Woody, Buzz, Jessie and the rest of Andy's faithful toys wonder what will become of them. But, when a mix-up lands them at Sunnyside Daycare, they meet a host of new toys and soon discover a wild new adventure is just beginning. (Disney / Buena Vista)

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%.

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.

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.

A perfect conclusion to the trilogy. Dark but at the same time sensitive, full of references and jokes. Some of my worst nightmares came to life so clearly... the winking baby, the monkey with the cymbals (from a short story by Stephen King) and that ending, that ending. They really had me scared and I seriously thought that it wouldn’t end well. The moment when I stopped telling myself that this is just a kids’ movie about toys and just waited to see how it turned out. And the final farewell is one of the most moving scenes that I have ever seen. So long, Woody, Buzz and the rest.
