Now, for the movie. Since I've just watched it for the third time I'd like to use this blog to discuss the most awaited movie (by me) ever. ELEVEN YEARS!!!!! That's craziness. The first time I saw this movie was last thursday at the midnight showing, and while sitting on the hard tile allowing my butt to fall asleep waiting for them to let us into the theatre, I turned to my friend Brigid and said.... "You know, for most movies when a sequel comes out I'm petrified. I get so nervous that they are gonna ruin everything. But not this time, because pixar knows what to do" and then she turned to me and said "good, but this movie better be better than the first two combined because I want to sleep."
These quotes pretty much sum up the movie, or at least my take on it. No, I'm not sure if it was better than the other two combined, but it was AMAZING. There were moments were everyone in the theatre want to cry, we laughed, we awed and a smile did not escape from my face. The story line was brilliantly executed, and crafted. They covered abandonment and escape with a fresh take instead of rehashing old scenes from the first two movies. Our favorite characters were back with the same depth and the same stories to back them up. The only difference was the welcome Spanish mode Buzz, and of course the return of the AstroNut" which is always my favorite. Then the new characters didn't disappoint either. They blended right in with our old friends. Favorites of mine was the comedic take of Ken, and the new dinosaur Trixie who will make a fine match for my all time favorite guy Rex. Another impressive part was the character of Bonnie. Though the ending made all of us kids want to cry, Pixar knew how to do that while still leaving us happy. Bonnie is the most adorable pixar kid ever (even more so than Andy I think) and her spirit is in unison with our beloved Andy. If our toys had to be left at someone else's house to better their lives than I'm glad it was Bonnie's!
This leads me to another point. I've heard people calling this the final in a triology... however has Pixar ever released it as a finale? Because while the ending would leave one satisified, there is still more story that could be told. Why not develop Bonnie's other toys into full blown characters? If there ever was a group of story tellers able to take this series and add another sequel to it(which im sure would be just as popular as this one) and have the story still believeable and loveable, then the guys at Pixar could..
I could not have asked for a better addition to my favorite movie series. Thank you Pixar for astonishing me once again, this time with Toy Story 3!
so lucky.. three times. I have yet to see it once. this makes me excited for it.. and yay for roomie adventures
