The ostensibly inanimate objects are far more animated than most movie stars.

It takes a kind of genius to combine a children’s movie for grown-ups and a grown-up’s movie for children in one glittering digimated package, yet the folks at Pixar have done it time and again.

Action-wise, this is essentially a prison-break caper, but there is so much more to it than this.

When teenaged Andy plops down on the grass to share his old toys with a shy little girl, the film spikes with sadness and layered pleasure — a concise, deeply wise expression of the ephemeral that feels real and yet utterly transporting.

There are many sweet laughs and joking allusions to horror and prison-break movies, but the Pixar gang gets at the most primary fear — being cast off and no longer of use.

I seriously doubt there will be a more hilarious and heartfelt blockbuster all summer.

The last 45 minutes of this are perfect (especially the moments at the dump), some of the best moments in animation history.

Third time is equally charming for Woody and the gang.

Not in the same league as Pixar’s previous efforts … it still solidifies the notion that this production company is at the forefront of modern animation.

Toy Story 3 is not only one of Pixar’s best films, but perhaps the best of the Toy Story trilogy.

Plot
Woody, Buzz and the whole gang are back. As their owner Andy prepares to depart for college, his loyal toys find themselves in daycare where untamed tots with their sticky little fingers do not play nice. So, it’s all for one and one for all as they join Barbie’s counterpart Ken, a thespian hedgehog named Mr. Pricklepants and a pink, strawberry-scented teddy bear called Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear to plan their great escape.
Trivia
Goofs / Tidbits
Nothing specific is given, so here’s a fun fact about the Toy Story franchise: The character of Woody was originally supposed to be a ventriloquist’s dummy, but the filmmakers decided to make him a cowboy instead.
