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)

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.

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 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.

Toys make childhood childhood. Can you imagine life without toys? And can toys life without us? This touching story from the fantastic world of toys will move, delight, and make you laugh... Proof that imagination has no limits. My enthusiasm for Toy Story has not diminished even after the 3rd instalment, which was no less interesting than the previous two.

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%.

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.

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...

Pixar rocks again and this film is worth a hundred points out of a hundred! Funny, touching, childish and adult – all beautifully balanced.

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.

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.

The third installment of Toy Story was the best one as far as I’m concerned. Compared to the previous films, it presents itself as a chilling thriller/horror with a happy ending. Not even Chucky can compare with the scary and badass Big Baby. If I were a toy, I definitely wouldn't be able to sleep after watching this film. Not to mention the horrors that occur in the Caterpillar room. Compared to that, all the films with the word Asylum in the title pale in comparison. As a bonus, there’s Barbie and Ken's fashion show. A clear 5 stars.

It's probably because animation has advanced by leaps and bounds, but both in terms of story and visuals, Toy Story appealed to me the most out of all three. Moreover, even though it seems like it just has an ordinary screenplay, there are interesting twists, sometimes unexpected, and especially intriguing new characters. Of course, the old favorites are also present and accounted for. Pixar is still in great shape even after all these years.
