Then, to make sure your heart is all tender and vulnerable for what’s to come, they show that the toys are all hopeful about getting Andy to play with them. Here’s the ‘Tangled’ lantern scene to make you feel better. And you realize Andy forgot about his toys. To make sure there is optimal emotional impact they play “You’ve Got A Friend In Me.” And then, when the song says “And as the years go by, our friendship will never die,” THEY CUT TO BLACK.

They get us all high and excited with the western opening, only to then play a series of videos with young Andy to make us feel all nostalgic.

The movie doesn’t wait too long to hit you right in the feelings. Now let’s talk about how Pixar used all of this to make everyone with a heart FEEL so strongly.

I wrote about him and how he’s the dark representation of everything that’s wrong with Woody during last year’s Villain Vignettes in case you want to read more about him. Bonnie’s toys (who act as a theatre troupe verses how Andy’s toys have more of an office environment) are all hilarious (“THERE IS NO WAY OUT!”) and Lotso is an endlessly fascinating villain. Not only that, but these wizards also managed to conjure up fun new characters that are as memorable as the old favorites. Pricklepants and Ned Beatty as Lotso are my personal favorites. And since everyone at Pixar is secretly a wizard, all the new cast members are just as good. Every supporting player is equally fantastic. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen continue to voice Woody and Buzz to perfection. All the old favorites are back and as great as ever. Where else have you seen such a painful – and yet beautiful – sequence? But, hey, some people think these movies are just for little kids. They all hold hands to die together as friends. But the best part about this terrifying sequence is when all the toys, who made incredible efforts to survive, realize there’s no way out and accept their mortality. Sure, you care about these toys and you don’t want them to die. And that’s why the incinerator scene is so tough to watch. If you want to get all technical, all these movies are about mortality. All the films orbit around Woody, his love for Andy, and his fear of abandonment. Every character has a clear motivation and the ending feels so perfect you wonder if all three movies were simply made in order to build up to that particular moment. The storytelling at display here is phenomenal. The dialogue is memorable (“I’m trying to stay in character!”) and the scenes move forward with purpose. The structure of this film is magnificent. In this case, the chosen one was Michael Arndt, who won an Academy Award for his first script, Little Miss Sunshine. Someone at Pixar read that script before the movie was even made and hired him immediately. Dozens of extremely talented filmmakers joined forces to create the best story possible and then one person was selected to write the screenplay. This being a Pixar animated movie, the writing process was different than it normally is in Hollywood. They can also make you wish you could eat food cooked by rats.

They can make you care and cry about Carl and Ellie after only 7 minutes in Up. They know how to maintain your interest without a word of dialogue for half an hour in Wall-E. And Toy Story 3 is just a masterclass in everything. They know how to engage an audience and make them feel strongly for the characters. The people who work there are really good at storytelling. What I just talked about is ultimately the best thing about Pixar. I can’t even talk about that because writing and crying at the same time is a very difficult thing to do. And it will reduce you to a blabbering, crying mess with its ending. It will destroy your feelings with the incinerator scene. It will thrill you with the whole escape sequence. It will scare you with Big Baby and the creepy monkey. Someone who watches this film without having experienced the previous two won’t feel as strongly as those of us who grew up with the original, but they’ll still experience a complete roller coaster ride of emotions. It builds upon the foundation of the other two movies, but it stands alone too. It doesn’t use its predecessors as crutches, nor does it rely on nostalgia to engage people. The Toy Story series and the Pixar catalog are both so strong that it’s difficult to claim that this film is the best one of them all, but I think it’s the best movie Pixar has done. I don’t know anyone who didn’t leave the theater feeling that all their expectations were met and maybe even surpassed. The expectations for Toy Story 3were rocket high. The sequel to two of the most beloved animated movies of all time. It was released after Pixar’s string of Ratatouille, Wall-E, and Up.
