A Blip of a Movie Review – Toy Story 3
Alternate Title: “BL and the Bear”
Short Plot: Andy is leaving for college, the toys are mangled in a day care, there is a power hungry bear, Buzz goes Spanish, the day needs to be saved, emotions all around.
Pros: After 10 years the toys haven’t lost their touch, two hilarious moments involving a disgruntled clown and Spanish Buzz, Mr. Tortilla Head, no sappy musical numbers, a worthy addition to the series, a freaky monkey.
Cons: Didn’t need to be in 3-D (adds nothing), not as good as 1 & 2, story is good but I wonder what the original plot line for 3 would have been like (a malfunctioning Buzz goes to Taiwan to be fixed but the gang finds there is a recall on all Buzz toys and they go save him), a freaky monkey.
Verdict: I enjoyed it. Not as much as the first two, but the franchise holds up well after 10 years. If you liked 1 & 2, chances are you will like 3 as well.
