I gotta admit, I'm not typically a fan of animated movies but I always loved the Toy Story films and this one looks absolutely fantastic. It's like nostaglia in a two minute pristine package.
Toy Story 3 trailer released
- Thread starter CaptainCanada
- Start date
I have to admit I love the trailer.
I love that it follows up on the concern that was central in the 2nd film: the knowledge that sooner or later Andy was going to grow up.

It's interesting, though. Buzz and Woody are toys that meant a lot to Andy and, apparently, he doesn't keep them and they end up donated to this daycare? I know my most favorite toys are boxed up and in storage. I'm 30, but some of those toys I still care greatly about and wouldn't ever want to loose them.
if they are all sitting in a box, they'd stay in decent shape... of course mrs. potato head is missing an eye in just about every shot she's in...
What I find bizarre about this trailer is the complete opposite message it seems to send, compared to TS2.
There the ultimate dream for the toys is to be played with - not to wither away in storage or in a museum. And here they do get their greatest wish - to be put in a daycare where generations of kids could play with them.
And they want to ESCAPE???
Sure, kids are rough on Toys. But so were Andy and his sister at that age.
But perhaps the trailer is cut in a misleading way... We'll see.
Watch it again, they want to escape because the babies are killing them. Plus maybe they know Andy didn't want to get rid of them.
I thought those two were kind of lame myself. I haven't bothered with Up yet.
I won't say anything in-depth, but suffice it to say that there's more to the story than what was shown in the trailer, and there's a very good reason why they're trying to escape from that daycare.

Also...uh...if Buzz is reset, does that mean he doesn't remember anything?
Ratatouille was terrible in a narrative sense. It seemed like 2 movies poorly crammed together. Also, the "bad guy" wasn't really a "bad guy" until the movie realized it needed a "bad guy" 2/3 of the way in.
I appreciated some of the humor they put in, and I liked the concept of the animals and humans not being able to communicate with each other through speaking (a somewhat unique idea when dealing with animated movies). However, I was let down overall with the film.
Cars was the only Pixar movie I thought was a let down. I've liked all the others, and I thought Up was fantastic.
You have no soul whatsoever.
Why do a lot of people not like Cars. I thought it was a fun movie with a nice message.
As for the Pixar film I didn't like, Monster's Inc. came to mind. Probably have to see it again though, but it felt more like a "kids" movie than all the others.

It's not that I didn't like it. I enjoyed it enough to buy it (not at full price though). I just thought it was the worst of the Pixar movies, which given how much I like the Pixar movies makes it better than most other CG animated movies.
Cars is the only Pixar movie I've only seen once (as opposed to over and over and over and over and over again) and don't own on DVD, but from what I remember I had two main problems with it:
1. It was far too long when you consider how little actually happens.
2. It was essentially a note-for-note remake of Doc Hollywood.
Oh, and whatever, I'll add a third:
3. The casting of Owen Wilson as Lightning McQueen was incredibly distracting. I just do not like him.
I will admit that, yeah, it's Pixar, and as such it was still a lot better than most other kids' movies and had a few golden moments - namely the musical montage, the tractor-tipping scene and Doc Hudson's big revelation - but by Pixar standards, it was just so disappointing. That said, the movie is like crystal meth for young boys. Every child I know was (and most still are) completely obsessed with it.
And although Cars 2 was probably conceived more for marketing reasons than storytelling reasons, I'm sure that Pixar will still put out a very good movie. Or, at least, the thought of Pixar selling out is terrifying to me to such an extent that I don't even want to imagine it.
I thought Ratatouille was brilliant. I put off seeing it for a long time (seeing as cooking and rats are two things I have zero interest in), but it actually turned out to be one of the most charming and hilarious Pixar movies yet.
I remember liking Monster's Inc at the time, but I tried rewatching it again recently and just could NOT get into it.
The whole monster world just didn't seem nearly as witty and cool as I remembered, and Billy Crystal's character was annoying as hell.
