Parenthetical comment: I checked my list of reviews and was very surprised to find out that I
have not reviewed either of the first two Toy Story movies (which we like a lot, chez Otter.)
Oh, could that be because they came out OVER TEN YEARS AGO? yes, it could. Sigh. Seems like last
year...but when I watch them again, they'll show up here.
Toy Story 3. The usual plot: the toys are in danger, and must get back home. This time they've been (accidentally) given to the most awful day-care in the world. Maid-of-Awesome saw this in the theater. I had it in my Netflix pile, and we were hanging one evening and decided to watch it. I cried like a bitch, she said, both times. Okay. So we watched it. And it's fun and cute, typical Toy Story stuff. And then we get to the scene where they all face imminent death, and grab hands with each other. And I said, you cried at this? really? It's benji-peril*. Maid-of-Awesome said nothing. And the movie went on...and we got to the last scene. And we BOTH cried like bitches. Because it was SO WONDERFUL. And perfect. And such a great ending to the series. And damn, my eyes are watering again just thinking about it. So if you love Toy Story, rent this one. You don't need to own it, but you do need to see it. And you'll cry like a bitch too. *Benji-peril is Ottersis's description for kids' movies where it LOOKS like something horrible will happen to the (usually cute and adorable) main character, but you know it won't really. Because you're an adult. But kids think it will, and are happy when the adorable main character survives. |
