Go ahead and ready the Oscar for best Animated Picture this year. Some times a movie gets it exactly right and this was one of those times. When animation can move people to tears, there's something magical about that.
Beautiful and brilliant.

I saw it yesterday with my daughter, and agree fully. Perfectly done...

Thursday, 'Toy Story 3' had a shot at something special -- it stood to propel the three films into history, becoming the only trilogy rated 100 percent fresh across the board on Rotten Tomatoes.
Friday, that hope was dashed. As Roger Ebert and others predicted, notoriously contrary New York Press film critic Armond White dissed the third installment in Pixar's flagship franchise. White's review deems the nearly universally acclaimed film "essentially a bored game that only the brainwashed will buy into" and posits the series is only fit for "non-thinking children and adults"

I don't know what there is to think about when you go to see a movie such as this?!?! It's really too bad!!

Maybe they need to be a non thinking adult. Sometimes it is important to embrace your inner child. Too many of us are so busy being "grown up" that we forget the world of wonder that it is to be a child, and how special and fleeting that moment is for our own children.

We need to take the time to be "child like" with our children, go see films such as this, and enjoy it with them. Children learn from us so many things, how sad it is that we wish for them to grow up so fast that they never learn to wonder, imagine, and play as children any more.

These children are the inventors, explorers, and creators of what will be our future. Imagination is the innovation of great thinkers in adults. If we don't nurture the imagination of our children, we doom our culture to mediocrity.

Reach inside yourself, find that inner child, and teach your children to dream. Their future will know no limits.

It still has 98% at the RT website...

Some folks conflate cynicism with coolness ... must be a dull, grey existence ...

Haven't seen it yet, but will soon.

Nothing can top the first one, wasn't really a fan of the sequel, i'll probably rent this one.

TS3 is near the top of my list of movies this year. Probably more moving for me as an adult than for my 10-year old girl. I thought it was the best of the three, although I'm beginning to get a bit annoyed with, oh crap...can't remember the name of the cowboy...lol...well, with the cowboy.

He's become a bit of a whiner and about as delusional as a make-believe, animated character can be. That said, great, great movie. Up there with Bug's Life and Finding Nemo as the best Pixar movies...

this is pretty cool, but in DM yesterday one of the theatres did a discounted showing for families that have kids with autism for the showing of Toy Story... kept the lights on and the sound down for the kids.

my kids are in a summer program at school and they got to see this the day it was released.now its all they talk about.i'm glad they enjoyed it.i also took them to see the second chipmunks movie this winter and got 'em a giant bowl of popcorn,large sprite.my five year old noticed the video games and i had to tear him away from them to get back to the movie.

TS3 was the best animation film I've seen. Pretty cool plot as well, lots of funny parts. Pretty much a packed house as well.

I was just amazed by the CGI of todays animation movies. Very enjoyable. If you have a chance, see it in 3D.

Can't wait to see it, the first 2 were great too!

Saw it on Father's Day with the whole family and my Mom. She leans over and says she's gonna hate telling people that the scariest movie she has seen this year is Toy Story 3. (By scary she was referring to the tension filled climax). Then, afterward, I lean over and hand her a napkin....and hand my wife a napkin. Both are crying. And having a 19 yr old and an 18 yr old as well as a 17mo old I can relate to the full range of emotions in this movie. Brilliant! Started off my Father's Day with a bang!

Makes me want to see it, now ...and take every one I know!!

i've rediscovered a lot of stuff i watched as a kid in the 70's and 80's mainly by showing cartoons like looney tunes,scooby doo,popeye,tom and jerry,etc. to my five and four year old.they have some really vulgar cartoons on like family guy,cleveland,and a few others i don't want my kids watching.i was letting my kids watch family guy one day and never knew how the show was until some stuff they said caught my attention.shame they have to stoop low with vulgarity and nudity knowing mostly young kids tune in.

You should. I rarely tell people to go see a movie because everyone's opinions are different. I usually only say that I like it or don't. But this is seriously a great movie. Funny, sad, tense, heart-breaking, heart-warming, visually pleasing, full of 'inside jokes, hints, references', FUN.

That is pretty cool!

I concur -- it's an epidemic with critics these days. If someone's too cool to enjoy anything, they should find another line of work.

I LOVED it!!! I had to wipe sad tears at the end!!
