TOY STORY 3 - Review

We turn into kids once our favorite cartoons head up to the big screen. Well, we all have seen the two Toy Story movies. One was way back in 1995 and the other one was in 1999. It has been about 11 years since the last movie appeared in the big screen and I must say, everyone was pretty excited about it. I believe that this is the best ever Toy Story yet. I didn't know they would be able to keep the magic going on.

Directed by Lee Unkrich, the movie touched almost everyone who watched the movie. It was the perfect addition to the sequel. From the beginning I found myself teary-eyed and happily smiling in my seat until the end of the movie. It was beautifully animated, not just because of the 3-D glasses. This movie had a college crowd laughing really hard, showing that Disney movies are for everyone.

At first, the toys were delighted that they were going to be donated than thrown away. They were really happy that they were going to be played with after many years. Woody was iffy about it and decided to go on his own. Then he was found by Bonnie, a really sweet girl who played with and loves her toys. Woody had so much fun as he was with Bonnie but left her just to return for his old friends.

Yes, it was hard for Andy to let go of his toys, but the best part of the movie was when Andy eventually sacrificed his most beloved toys and gave them to Bonnie. It was really heartbreaking when Andy described Woody, "He'll never give up on you."'

After watching the movie, it made me realize that toys are really really important. That's why I was really emotional during the movie. I thought it was just me but no. Almost all the people I know that have seen the movie were emotional too. It was really worth the wait. Good job, Disney Pixar. Good job!

And hey! Monsters Inc. 2 will eventually be released on November 2012 so let's wait for that really soon.

SMALL WONDERS

So it's still my first day on this and I think I just had to write this one. Lol.

Earlier today as I was watching the television, I came across Disney Channel. Shocker! I know right! Anyway, as I was on that channel, Meet the Robinsons was on! Yipee! That's like my favorite movie. I mean since 2007 of course because it was released then. Plus, I never get tired of watching that one even though I have seen that for like a hundred times. (Okay, I may be exaggerating.)

I get emotional almost every time I watch that movie. I mean, who doesn't get all emotional after watching a very inspirational movie. Hello? C'mon! IT IS A GOOD MOVIE. No, scratch that. IT'S A GREAT MOVIE! I mean, we all have our dreams right? And sometimes we are not sure of what we really want. I think that we all have been on that phase. I must admit, it is not wrong to be afraid of what's going to happen in the future. That's pretty normal given the fact that we cannot turn back time. That's like history!

Anyway, going back to the movie. Lewis is a kid right? A very good kid. I mean, despite of what has happened to him, he still pursued the thing that he wanted the most. He has no family but that didn't hinder him to reach for his goal. And I believe that all of us should try to be like him. There is no harm in trying. It is okay to fail at first, but that should not stop us. In the movie, when Lewis failed, the family from the future told him that it is okay to fail because in failing you learn to succeed. So why not fail, fail, and fail some more? (I'm kidding, but actually it's sorta true.) I mean, you know, we learn from our mistakes right?

There are a few good quotes from the movie. But two of them struck me the most. The first one's, "Keep Moving Forward" and I think I'll be naming my blog after in a few days. Because right now I'm still confused on what I want to do in the future. But I guess all I have to do is to keep on moving forward to know what happens. And of course, before the movie ended, there was quote from Walt Disney -- "Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."
