Toy Story 3

Toy Story 3, finally. We've all waited so long for this to come! It's time to meet Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Bull's Eye and all the other toy friends again!

Like all the Toy Story lovers who have waited for 11 years, Andy has grown up. He's 17 years old now and no longer spends time with his childhood toys. Andy wanted to take Woody to college with him and store his other toys in the attic. Somehow, by accident, the toys ended up being donated to Sunnyside Daycare by his mum. Despite Woody's effort in explaining the misunderstanding, the toys believed that Andy didn't want them anymore. Warmly welcomed by the daycare toys and their leader Lotso, Andy's toys decided to stay. Woody had no other choices but leave on his own.

Andy's toys were allocated to a group of young kids who didn't know how to treat toys well. Buzz, Jessie and all other toys were soon abused by those children. Buzz, as a representative of the toys, went to seek help from Lotso, only to discover the evil side of the seemingly harmonious leadership there. Meanwhile, Woody fell into the hands of a little girl named Bonnie on his way home. He learnt about the horrible truth about Sunnyside Daycare from Bonnie's toys and decided to head back to save his pals. The toys got home safe in the end, all ready to go to the attic. However, Woody wrote a note to Andy suggesting him donate all the toys to Bonnie. Andy did, and played with his old toys for the last time in Bonnie's garden before going to college.

The whole movie doesn't really have any particular emotional climax that tries to make you cry, yet it's the most touching Pixar movie by far. The "friends stick together till the end" theme is definitely one of the things that touch our feelings. The scene in which the toys decided to faced death together, holding hands before being pushed into the incinerator(of course they were saved in the end), simply shows how precious friendship can be. Another element that most audience relate to is the departure from being a child. We just couldn't help ourselves but feel sad when the time of saying ''goodbye'' to our childhood comes. All those memories... those days when we slept with our toys...when we longed for growing up...when we had no idea of the dark side of life. Saying goodbye to toys means stepping away from that carefree world and taking a step closer to the unpredictable future and the complicated world of adults. Who wasn't scared of that?

The main idea of the story is that we should all learn to move on with our lives. Things change and there's no way we can avoid it. Clinging to the past doesn't help anything. Moving on doesn't mean forgetting our past. Everyone we loved... everything we experienced... stays forever in our heart. We just need to be ready to embrace a new life ahead.

Toy Story 3 is a wonderful movie. A movie that makes us laugh, wet our eyes, and reminds us of the precious childhood memories we all have. This is Disney's magic. They never fail to warm your heart with their movies. Go see the Toy Story 3 if you haven't, it surely will take you on an unforgettable emotional journey.
