Toy Story is a CGI animated media franchise created by Pixar and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. The franchise is based on the anthropomorphic concept that all toys, unknown to humans, are secretly alive, and the films focus on a diverse group of toys that feature a classic cowboy named Sheriff Woody and a modern spaceman named Buzz Lightyear. The group unexpectedly embark on adventures that challenge and change them. The collection currently includes Toy Story 1-5.

    Great for the kids!

    ★ 10/10

    Just like any other Pixar movies, Toy Story 3 was great. The story flowed really well with the two Toy Story movies. And just like the two other movies, it was funny, has a lot of action and adventure, and it was really touching. I guess at some point, everyone was able to relate to the story. That's why it's so great. It's great for young children and really great for adults. It's a good ending for the Toy Story movies. My rate for this movie is A.

    ★ 8/10

    When I first watched this nearly a decade ago in the cinema, I believe it was (and still is) the only movie I've ever watched in 3D that I've enjoyed. I was worried that it was that great theatrical experience I'd had that coloured my opinion of Toy Story 3 so positively, and that it wouldn't hold up to any further scutiny. But I gotta say, on re-watch? It absolutely holds up. In my opinion, strong contender for best work Pixar's ever put out. Final rating:★★★★ - Very strong appeal. A personal favourite.
