The Toys are back, but this time Andy (the toys' owner) is moving to college and the gang is faced with the dilemma of moving on to their next owner- a day care called Sunnyside. Upon arrival Sunnyside appears to be toy heaven. They're welcomed by new friends; Barbie meets Ken (well played by Michael Keaten), and there's a large number of children who can't wait to play with them. This however turns out to be one of the problems, along with the fact that not every toy at "sunnyside" is who they appear to be. Written and directed by Lee Unkrich (Toy Story 2, Finding Nemo), Toy Story 3 fills America's hearts with the joy of Pixar once again. Not only are there more laughs than the previous sequel, but 3 digs deeper into the viewers heart and hits closer to home with the breath-taking bond between friends. With amazing 3-D special effects, an adventurous yet contiguous plot, and great voice performances from all returning actors (i.e. Tim Allen and Tom Hanks), Toy Story 3 is debatably the best Pixar film yet. There were two major accomplishments of 3: creating innocent summer fun for children and adults (including a few punchlines aimed exclusively at parents), and creating a captivating personification of the tiny characters of this film. The toys of the film were more human than the human characters; filled with a sense of love, faith, and camaraderie that I can only hope to achieve myself one day. Toy Story 3 was a laugh-out-loud-funny and deeply touching film that earned a spot near the top of my list scoring 3 1/2 stars.
