THING: Movie
GENRE: Children's
SYNOPSIS: Buzz, Woody, and the rest of the toys accidentally get donated to a daycare. They have to escape and return home before their master, Andy, goes to college.
WHO WOULD LIKE THIS: Well, kids, obviously. This movie was made for kids, from the extremely colorful palette to the thinly-veiled jokes about litter boxes. But, like every Disney/Pixar movie, there is an added layer for adults.
IT'S KINDA LIKE: The first two 'Toy Story' movies. There are also a lot of hints of film noir, which, spoken by a depressed toy clown, is one of the funniest parts of the movie.
YAY, NAY, OR MEH: Yay.
WHY: 'Toy Story 3' is everything a movie should be, let alone a children's movie: it has a compelling story, a great cast, and is visually arresting. It is 100% as sharp as the first 'Toy Story,' but was surprisingly dark, so infants might gets scared in a big theater. I saw the movie in 3D, but it really didn't add anything to the movie (but it didn't take anything away, either). It's astounding that wholesome movies that are actually funny are as rare as 'Toy Story 3' and begs the question why more people don't make movies like this.
