Toy Story 3 Movie Review
Pinoy Movie Blogger Reviews
The Philippines is one of the first countries to screen Toy Story 3. The animated film premiered at SM North Edsa's IMAX Theatre on June 16, 2010 (Wednesday) in full 3D and yours truly was there to watch, appreciate and review Toy Story 3, the latest installment of the popular Pixar classic.
Toy Story has already made two successful movies back on 1995 with Toy Story, and on 1999 with Toy Story 2. The biggest challenge of any movie sequel or follow ups is topping up what its first (few) movie franchises has achieved, whether it is a successful plot, characters, production, feel, etc. Many movies has fallen victim to the curse of bad sequels but Toy Story 3 didn't. With over ten years of span, it has already created a cult following of movie goers and home theater viewers. Thus the movie would have definitely have millions of once kids and movie goers of the first two films looking forwatd to seeing the film, and as one of them let me say that Toy Story 3 is the Bomb!
Toy Story 3 reacquaints us with the beloved characters of the first two movies with Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Hamm, Rex, Mr. & Mrs. Potatohead, Slinky Dog, and the Squeeze Toy Aliens. It's been over ten years, and what I like about the concept of the movie is that the toys owner, Andy has also grown up and you know what that means for old toys. This is basic plot which is no spoiler at all is that Andy is going to college and the toys wound up at a Day Care Center which holds many dreaded secrets, one of them is Ken. Alright, that was my cheap way of pulling a joke, but the trailer when Barbie and Ken met in the first time is "epic". What secrets does Sunnyside Day Care Center have that made the plan a great escape, you should eventually find it out pretty soon, as in 2 days soon from the date of this review.
Great musical scoring with a very nostalgic retro music feel playing in some scenes blended with a seemingly perfect voice casts, I have no complaints against the music of Toy Story 3. In terms of visual presentation, what can I say or even comment? Only two words... it's Pixar (well that's three words if you count 'is'). Pixar won't be cheating on you on this one as you will need your 3D glass the whole time that the film is rolling. Toy Story 3 is best experienced in true HD full 3D.
Toy Story 3 has an excellent writers behind it and with perfect execution of the voice actors, direction, and the awesomeness of the production of Pixar the film turned into a cinematic masterpiece. With all of the main characters as toys, there are countless of ideas that the writers can explore and utilize to incorporate in Toy Story 3, and guess what they did! This is one of the best hilarious animated film from Pixar. I am a witness to this as everyone laugh their hearts out almost all at once, from the young viewers to the not so old ones like us. A very rare feat especially as people these days tends to have loss humor on their lives. Besides the humor, great character build up, or just great everything, what really makes Toy Story a phenomenal success (from Toy Story 1-3) is it's heart. Toy Story 3 brings you back on a time when everything seems so simple, so innocent, so magical and creates these lovable and memorable characters that you will associate yourself with and with the closest people around you. Toy Story 3 brings out that mushy feeling in all of us which we have unknowingly hidden in the darkest depths of our minds and soul as we mature. Toy Story 3 is that good, believe me tears just gush out of my eyes on two or three times on the duration of the film. You'll know when you watch it.
I think Toy Story will have a very favorable good reviews and I am not saying this because it is what I have experienced. Me, with all of fellow Filipino movie goers says this is a great comeback for the toys. Even the popular movie review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes reports that 100% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 17 reviews. It is that well crafted people.
