Toy Story 3 was awesome

[ibneko]

And they deserved the 99% they had (have? I haven't checked again today) on rottentomatoes.

I hadn't seen the first two, but... it was just really well done for a movie that was targeted towards kids. Well worth the cost of the $15 3D-version ticket.

And... I couldn't have predicted the ending. Looking back, it's obvious, but while I was 90% sure everything would have to work out ok, I just didn't know which path of "ok" Pixar was going to use, and I wasn't sure how they would resolve the flaming problem the toys got thrown into.

It was beautiful.

The wall street journal review covers it pretty well, but I don't have a permanent link, unfortunately. It has spoilers, so you probably shouldn't read it anyways. http://online.wsj.com/article/film_review.html (Probably only valid for this week.)

Wow, I think this is one of the few times we've agreed. XD It's even better if you'd seen the first two. The whole claw thing was so signature for the first film, and the aliens' were in both, that it made the ... er ... shall we say deux ex machina (without the negative connotations) ... absolutely brilliant. (Although, given that it is so signature, I probably should have seen it coming. Um ... ^^;)
