Toy Story 3 - 7th September 2010

That's all the world needs another review for Toy Story 3. But thanks to Tesco's 2 for 1 offer the Coxes return to the cinema for the 1st time since " I Love You, Philip Morris". We had not seen either of the two previous Toy Story films at the pictures instead waiting for them to appear on television.

When the first film appeared in 1995, it revolutioned film-making being the original movie to be made entirely in CGI. Fifteen years later 3D is the current rage so the final Toy Story is naturally produced in this genre.

The characters of Woody and Buzz Lightyear are now household names but it is time that they are literally placed back in their toy box. This is in fact the plot of the film with writer Michael Arndt realising that the child Andy would now be of an age to attend college. Whilst he has been chosen to travel with him Woody is trying to save his toy colleagues from accidental refuse destruction and ensure that they are re-housed and therefore played with at Sunnyside Daycare.

Naturally all does not go well and after quite be a terrifying inferno scene Woody heads us towards a truly emotional but not manipulative ending. Yes, dear reader I can confirm that I can
add my name to the adults who have blubbed uncontrollably at its conclusion. A truly excellent way for the trilogy to finish and a strong candidate for my film of the year even if it failed to take full advantage of the new 3D technology.
