When I sat down to see Toy Story 3, I was definatly expecting your typical "kids animation movie". - Lots of screaming, dry humour and action packed. Well I can tell you that Toy Story 3 far outlived my expectations!

The plot was really entertaining, gripping and very well thought out. When Andy is preparing to leave home to move to college his toys are packed off to the local daycare centre, Sunnyside Daycare.

The deceivingly bright and welcoming daycare centre turns out to be a cruel and sinister environment for the toys. They are used and abused!

The toys overcome many obstacles to escape Sunnyside Daycare and manage to make it home just before Andy departs for college. In the end, Andy gifts his toys to his younger neighbour, Bonnie. The farewell is very dramatic and very emotional!

This movie caught me off guard, I really wasn't expecting the storyline to be so moving! It turned out to be a film that played very successfully on the themes of friendship, family, loyalty, loss and change.

The 3D animation in the film was extremely well done. I've seen a few 3D movies now, and in some of them the animation has proved to be distracting and a little over the top. The animation in Toy Story 3 worked really well because it enhanced the film, to the point where you almost forgot that you were watching it in 3D. It really added to the general presentation of it. 

There is a lot of clever and well thought out humour in Toy Story 3 that allows for this movie to be enjoyed by adults as well as children. There were points in the movie where the whole cinemas was almost crying with laughter. slynkey girls, you would all love the way that Barbie and Ken are portrayed and the way that they interact with each other!

Toy Story 3 is really entertaining, gripping and definitely pulled at my heart strings! I was genuinely holding back the tears at the end of the film. I highly recommend going to see this film! It is a fantastic movie that can be appreciated on many levels, by all ages.
