The Toys are Back for the Third Time!

This week we had a lot of holidays and there’s nothing more enjoyable to do during these boring, lazy days than watch movies; and I watched a lot of movies this week. It started last Monday when a few friends of mine spontaneously decided to watch a movie in the cinema. So, we went to the cinema and watched this movie entitled “A Nightmare on Elm Street” it was a horror movie but it wasn’t really that good, it was very tacky as I may describe it. A few days after that we had no class again on Wednesday and I spent the entire day sleeping and again we had a holiday on Friday, which is today. Knowing I had nothing to do today I went out yesterday and bought movies to watch the entire day. I did bought a lot of movies yesterday and as of now I had finished about half of what I had bought. Just before I finish the other half I decided what blog I would like to write about.

Of all the movies I saw so far, which were “The Karate Kid”, “The Lasr Airbender”, “Saw V” and other which were not that good on my perspective, the one that I really liked was “Toy Story 3”. Ever since the first movie was released I was already an avid fan of “Toy Story” and I really liked the past two movies. I consider this movie one of the nicest movies I’ve seen this year, so far. To give an overview of the movie the story goes like this:

Now seventeen, Andy has long outgrown the toys and is preparing to move out of the house to attend college. He decides to bring Woody with him, and packs the other toys in a trash bag to be stored in the attic (a move the toys have long prepared for). However, his mother mistakes the bag for garbage and leaves it on the curb. After the toys barely manage to escape the garbage truck, they refuse to believe Woody (who saw what happened) when he says that Andy didn't intend to throw them away, and Woody and the rest of the toys end up sneaking into a box of donations to a local daycare, Sunnyside.

While Sunnyside's children are still outside, Woody attempts again to persuade the other toys to return to Andy's house, but Lotso, the day care’s “chief”, has convinced them that they will be happier at Sunnyside; Woody sets off alone. Meanwhile, the toys at Sunnyside discover Lotso's true personality for themselves: when Buzz goes to ask Lotso to transfer them to the Butterfly room, he is captured by Ken, Big Baby and Lotso's other minions. With Buzz's help, Lotso has all of Andy's toys imprisoned on the shelves of the Caterpillar room.

Woody returns to Sunnyside to help his friends escape. Woody tells the other toys about Lotso's past, convincing them of Lotso's deception and leading Big Baby to throw Lotso into the dumpster. As the other toys are saved, Lotso is found by a garbage man, who ties the bear to the front of his garbage truck along with other bug covered toys.

The toys make their way back to Andy's room, where Woody goes back into the "College" box and the other toys enter a box designated for the attic. When Andy reads the note and discovers his assumed-lost toys, he decides to give the toys away instead of storing them. Andy thanks the toys for all the time they spent together, then he drives away missing the toys. Woody says "So long partner," then introduces Andy's toys to Bonnie's toys. During the credits, Sunnyside is shown under the leadership of Ken and Barbie, where they have turned the daycare into a groovy toy paradise. They keep in touch with Andy's toys 'by slipping letters into Bonnie's backpack.

The movie was really awesome! I really enjoyed watching it and I won’t be having problems watching it all over again. Each “Toy Story” movie I watched, and I had watched each movie a lot of times, always has a lesson you have to realize at the end, and in this third movie I still am troubling to find out what that lesson really is but there is a more obvious lesson which was being able to truly appreciate friendship. Each “Toy Story” movie valued friendship but in this movie it really showed the true meaning in being a friend. I recommend everyone to watch the movie, trust me you won’t be having doubts about watching it; I personally give it a two thumbs-up (the production should pay me for this!).

Oh, and for the record I’m watching the movie again right now! :D
