When the movie reviewer on Talk of the Nation said that Toy Story 3 was all about death, I became VERY interested. Luckily, the day after Xmas, some cable channel was playing 1 and 2 in a row, and I found them just as the credits were rolling into the first movie, not out of it. Fortune!
These movies went very well with Bison French Onion Dip, Wavy Lays and Diet Pepsi.
I love the voices. I was glad to hear Cliff Clavin (I think) from Cheers. Tim the Tool Man Taylor was good too. I was afraid it was like Russell Crowe or something. I loved the scaredy cat dinosaur. I can't remember if the puppy shows up in 1 or 2, but I liked that. The army men are probs the favorite.
2 was okay but not as good. Like the middle Girl with Tattoo book, it seemed like a plot mover but not much else. Let's get Woody some friends. He did always look oldie and out of place next to the other toys. I loved a lot about 2, like the horse and Jessie and the mean prospector and the old tv show. But ultimately the story felt thin.
I redboxed 3. Have you seen it? I like it a lot. It was pretty dark and scary. There were times that I thought could be really awful endings, like depressing Swedish movie about death endings, but it's not like I forgot it's a kid's movie.
I guess all I really took from it, is that friends are awesome and good to hold hands with in a garbage dump and sometimes you have to have faith, i guess, in alien toys who can work heavy machinery, you should give mean teddy bears a second chance, even if they might and actually do blow the second chance, that little kids are pretty great, that joss whedon did some writing for these? what else? i feel like i waited too long to blog this. the wrinkles it put in my brain are sort of...ironed out.
