He figures Andy will store them in the attic.maybe one day to be played with again when Andy has kids of his own. Several are of the persuasion that Sarge is right, and they'll be tossed out soon, but Woody believes that Andy wouldn't do that. Potato Head (voice: Estelle Harris), three alien squeak toys from Pizza Planet, Slinky Dog (voice: Blake Clark), Rex (voice: Wallace Shawn), and Hamm the Piggy Bank (voice: John Ratzenberger). This idea soon fills the heads of the remaining toys: Woody (voice: Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (voice: Tim Allen), Jessie (voice: Joan Cusack), Bullseye (voice: Frank Welker), Mr. Fearful of being thrown away, they leap out the window into the world beyond, their parachutes taking them who knows where. As the toys take stock of how many are left, and those that they have lost over the years, their attention is drawn to the last of the little green Army Men: Sarge (voice: R. Several of them hold out hope that Andy will play with them at least once before he leaves, but those hopes are soon dashed. The fact that Andy has grown from a young boy to a teenager about to leave home has not been lost on his toys. Andy Davis (voice: John Morris) is 17 years old, and is heading off to college in a few days.You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll feel that admission was more than well spent.The synopsis below may give away important plot points. Toy Story 3 pulls us deeply into its self-constructed world, which ranges from poignant observations about the flow of time and family, and also creepier dark business which may momentarily unsettle sensitive young viewers (they can be reassured that things work out for the best). And it’s a ditty both catchy and wise, like the film itself. Another familiar “voice” in the film is Randy Newman’s emotionally synched musical score, complete with a new song. In this scenario, Lotso is the sadistic ringleader of a cabal of toys at the Sunnyside Daycare Center, a veritable toy prison. Existential brooding enters the picture early on, as the toy clan ponders its fate and impending obsolescence.įamiliar faces-well, voices-lend continuity to the ongoing tale, including Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Don Rickles, and Wallace Shawn, with newcomer Ned Beatty voicing the warm and fuzzy-turned villainous-Lotso. In this model, he’s 17 and on the brink of heading off to college, contemplating the fate of his cast of toy characters. Time has moved on, too, in the world of toys that come alive out of view and also in the imaginative brain of their suburban owner, Andy. Pixar’s state of the animating art is vastly better and more seamless in 2010 than it was for 1995’s original. Of course, there is also the inherent benefit of advancing computer-animation technology. (There is something uniquely creepy about evil in toys, objects on which we project only goodness and fun.) But the sinister aspect is counterbalanced by a sensitive narrative, touching on issues of giving up childish things and embracing life’s unfolding chapters. Number three sports a whip-smart script that combines wild humor, pathos, and a clever storyline about the dark side of the toy kingdom, suddenly reminding us of Eastern European animation rather than Hollywood. How is that possible? It has something to do with the convergence of elements. Looking at the so-far underwhelming sweep of American films released this year, Toy Story 3 clearly belongs in the upper ranks of 2010’s best. Tim Allen, Tom Hanks and Joan Cusack return for the third Toy Story installment.įor anyone who stifles a yawn at the prospect of installment number three in the Toy Story franchise, or expects to go to the theater mainly as a half-bored escort for children, be duly alerted: Toy Story 3 is much more, and possibly the best installment yet, even surpassing the original.
