Toy Story 3

My first son was just 2 1/2 years old when I got him the Toy Story / Toy Story 2 combo pack. I know this for sure because at the top of the Amazon Toy Story / Toy Story 2 combo pack product page it says, "You purchased this item on November 28, 2001." Wow...how time flies. So it was to my surprise that when my son, now 11, stayed home from school with a cold earlier this year, I found him watching Toy Story. He had just put the DVD in the player, so I sat with him for a second before I headed off to work. Then the second turned into a few minutes; then a few minutes turned into a nostalgic hour; which of course turned into, "What a great, classic movie, Dad; Let's watch Toy Story 2!" So I obliged. (I hope my boss isn't reading this.) I'd forgotten what classics Toy Story and Toy Story 2 are. And it turns out that Toy Story 3 is just as classic as the first two. Not only do these movies deserve just a viewing, they deserve to be added to your movie collection. Watched the Blu Ray version last night with the entire family, and had to buy the standard DVD today, because my 7 year old daughter insisted that she needs to be able to watch the movie several times...but "upstairs" where i don't have a Blu Ray player set up. No problem. I may be biased because of the strong emotional attachment that I found that I had and have renewed with these movies, but I say that all three Toy Story movies truly are collectors' items. While watching Toy Story 3 last night, just as when I watched the first two again earlier this year, I was laughing out loud, holding in the sobs and just plain enjoying perhaps the best animated movies ever to come out of Disney. The first is about Andy's (6 - 8 years old?) toys and what happens when Andy introduces his new Buzz Lightyear to the group of toys that he grew up with. But the toys better be sure to stay out of the hands of Andy's next door neighbor Sid, because Sid's idea of fun is toy torture! Then in Toy Story 2 it's spring cleanup time, and the toys better hide if they don't want to end up in the yard sale; especially if you're a rare toy and there are greedy toy collectors that would just love to have...er..I mean...sell you. Finally in Toy Story 3 Andy is all grown up and the Toys have to deal with wondering if Andy will take them to college (a bad bet), keep them in his room (probably not or....Donate them or....Throw them out in the trash?!? Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are once again magic together in Toy Story 3 and they are joined by a cast of many many A-list voice talents...Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head is my favorite (ya hockey puck!). And one more note, if you've ever seen the Buzz Lightyear Disney Channel spinoff but not the movies, don't be dissuaded by the spinoff because it was silly in comparison; the movies are head and shoulders above the spinoff in acting, animation and storywise. I'd grab the whole collection and see Toy Story 1 & 2 before 3 if you haven't already...it really puts things in perspective to watch it chronologically. Either way, get it into your cart then enjoy...with or without some kids!

After pouring over many very well written praises about Toy Story 3 I won't add too much to what's already been said. However, for me this trilogy and magnificence of Pixar creations, which I believe was spawned (as a company) by John Lasseter, has to be the greatest of them all. Well, everything Pixar creates is great and over the top. We all have our favorites and I believe citing one is not to slight the other. It's simply what's inside each of us that harmonizes with the storyline and that's what makes some films to some people more noteworthy than others. Still, I find this trilogy absolutely incredible in every way, shape and form. You have to also understand I was never one to like or enjoy watching animation, anything, then or now. I'm about 65 years of age and I believe it was some 15 years ago when a friend of mine insisted I go to the movies and see Toy Story, the first installment. At first, I was reluctant to go, but he and his wife talked me into it. It was the best talking into I ever had. Strangely, she didn't like the movie and walked out earlier. Her husband and I sat and watched the movie and I just couldn't believe my eyes or ears what showed and sounded on that big silver screen. In time, I saw Toy Story 2, and just last evening I finally got to watch the final installment of this peerless trilogy of movies. It also finally kicked in that here was a narrative much like the previous two focusing on, not only childhood and fraternity, especially the loyalty among the toy members to their master playmate, Andy, but also epic moral lessons pivoting around humanity's light. These stories all show and share this main trait, this overcoming whatever needs to be triumphed over, and for the sake of loyalty, love and friendship, and an abiding sense of humanity's spirit. These films just make you feel proud to be among our genus; happy to find a way out of the usual darkness of our lives, the politics and warfare, the brute and brunt force of society in general. And for a little while there is a saga worth plugging into, sometimes the iffiness of life that Woody and the crew must unite together and somehow get through. Toy Story, this last and final installment, certainly stacks the odds against all of them, yet we are so grateful that every loose end ties up, and all the characters get to live on, even that slick strawberry-smelling bear, but not quite to his liking. I mean, how he ended up. Of course, no one gets to be and play a cowboy forever, or so goes the famous line in "Monte Walsh." And Andy has grown up and has to put his toys away, though not his inner child. This movie is so touching in so many ways, so healing, that I just felt myself turning back inside and meeting head on that inner child of mine, the feelings somewhat mixed, though a blessing. Thank you, Pixar, and all your wonderful and peerless creative people who make these films. You are sine qua non. The humanity of these stores is the right prescription for the illness of today's world. These stories are a beacon of light and life for those who desperately need it, and I am one such. I'll continue being a fan and follower and purchaser of your products. Meanwhile, the Toy Story saga will live within me, as will the likes of Wall-E, Up, Cars, Nemo, and all the rest.

If you're like me, and you have a child under five, do yourself a favor and just buy it. They'll watch it a few dozen times, and you won't mind. It's an awesome movie. I've done the rental thing with Pixar a few times, and there hasn't been a movie he hasn't repeatedly asked for over and over. He loves this series, and I'm right there with him. I'd never seen 3, how does Pixar make every sequel better? It's crazy.

Good entertainment movie for elementary students. Thank you Amazon for a fun day.

I really like this movie too! Toy story did a good job yet again!

In terms of the bluray quality, there is none better. The picture and sound are both reference material and are flawless. A great movie to test out a home theater. The movie itself is very good. Pixar did a wonderful job of keeping the main characters around but still adding in great new additions, especially with Ken. I was very worried about how they were going to finish the series off, but was shocked at how great of a job they did. I'd prefer not to mention any details of the story, given I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't seen the movie, so the only thing I can say is the movie makes sense. Andy has grown up and once again his toys are faced with challenges in how to accept changes in life. It has a great moral backing and offers tons of well placed humor. Overall the movie is fantastic. Most importantly the ending is perfect. Nothing was forced and everything ends how it should. Toy Story fans should most certainly add the third to their collection.

Watching the Toy Story 3 (2010)'s 15th Anniversary Edition on Blu-ray is super-duper fun, fabulous, spectacular, and magnificent.

es que no ha sido nunca niño. Hermosa película en la línea de PIXAR: un niño la ve como una película de aventuras, un adulto la vez con una carga de nostalgia apabullante. El final de la película es de lo mejor que se ha hecho en el cine en los últimos 10 años. Técnicamente, perfecta. El 3D se ve estupendo.

Arrived as expected. Game plays well. Wii version is less furnished then other consoles, but it is to be expected because the wii has weaker graphic proccessing capabilities. Everything is to satisfaction.

Well I don't know how many times i have watched TOY STORY TRILOGY❤️❤️😍 in my life till date! These movies r very close to my heart. PIXAR has a knack of making people cry and this trilogy is PIXAR'S best creation. The emotions these movies evoke is inexplicable! You just need to feel them. Toy story 3 is a perfect culmination to this epic trilogy. It couldn't have been any better!! Just watch this awesome trilogy if u haven't already. I m damn sure u r gonna fall in love with these characters for sure👍 Fun facts: 1)Quentin Tarantino placed the film at the top position in his list of favorite films of 2010. 2)It became the second Pixar film (after Up) and third animated film overall (after Beauty and the Beast and Up) to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. The film received four more Academy Award nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Sound Editing, Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song, winning the latter two. 3)Toy Story 3 grossed over $1 billion worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2010—both in North America and worldwide—and the fourth-highest-grossing film at the time of its release, as well as the fourth-highest-grossing animated film of all time, the first animated film to generate over $1 billion in ticket sales, and Pixar's second-highest-grossing film to date, behind Incredibles 2. About the bluray picture quality its top notch! The vibrant colors do pop plus its full screen aspect ratio makes the viewing experience all the more fantastic😘😘. A must add to your bluray collection👌👌

Toy Story est le premier long métrage de Pixar. C'est avec ce film qu'ils ont réussi à ouvrir leur chemin vers le grand public et depuis, chaque année nous offre un nouveau film de leur cru. Ils ont décidé de continuer cette histoire quelques années plus tard, et on avait un Toy Story 2 tout aussi excellent. Alors que pas un autre de leurs films n'a eu le droit à une suite (l'année prochaine ça changera avec Cars 2), ils décident de nous offrir un troisième opus et de faire de Toy Story une trilogie d'animation, qui bien sûr est incontournable. Ce troisième opus réussit une fois de plus à nous émerveiller, nous faire rire, nous faire verser une petite larme si on est quelque peu sensible. L'histoire est originale, et surtout, on sent que la franchise a mûrit depuis les deux premiers volets. Au niveau de la qualité du blu-ray, c'est du top. Si vous avez déjà craqué pour Toy Story 1 et 2 en blu-ray, vous savez à quel point Pixar soigne au maximum sa qualité. Ainsi nous avons tout simplement l'image la plus belle en terme d'animation, et un son en DTS HD en anglais ET français, chose rare qui plaira aux anglophobe, de toute façon VO et VF s'équivalent car les doubleurs font du bon boulot des deux côtés ! Donc n'hésitez pas un instant, ce film est une valeur sûre de l'animation qui enjouera petits et grands, fans et néophytes.

Great dvd LOL
