A whirlwind of humour, emotion, and sheer storytelling genius

Finally finished watching Toy Story 3(haha yeahh this is very late but whatever) and i am completely blown away by what this movie has to offer. To the point that i decided to blog about it.

I'm still wondering how on earth did Pixar actually pull this off.  Excellent animation, emotional depth, fresh humour.  At first sight, i think almost everyone would look at it as a kids' movie or a typical family movie.  But that is totally not the case. I wouldn't exactly call this a family movie at all cause it has a certain level of maturity to it.  One that adults can truly appreciate and relate to.  But nonetheless, still a movie for all to enjoy.

The humor throughout the whole movie was great and nicely spread out. No crude, cheesy, recycled humour but nothing exceptionally complicated either.  Just simple, fresh humor (you don't normally find stuff like that in movies nowadays  =[  ). I find myself chuckling away at the characters from time to time.  One thing really amazing is that even though it's a funny movie, there's so much emotional depth in it . The message is strong and deep.  It's something you can relate to in many ways. 

 The very sophisticated Mr Pricklepants. He is soooo darn cute. Look at what he's wearinggg!! Darn i can't remember what they're called.

The three funny aliens who have some weird obsession with claws. as they would say, "The claaaawwwww~"

 Mr Potato in Tortilla mode meets a pigeon. LOL poor guy. Really funny part

**TEARY EYES HERE** yeah i kinda cried a little at the last 15 minutes of the movie.


I especially find how easy it is to relate to the movie about the relationships we have in our lives.  Aren't we all pretty much like the toys and their owner, Andy?  Most of our relationships in life only last for seasons and not a lifetime. Yet, that does not make them any less significant or meaningful then lifetime relationships.  The mark has been made, even if that person leaves.  Whether we like it or not, people walk in and out of our lives all the time.  Goodbyes can be somewhat sad, but they also bring a certain joy to it.  It brings a satisfaction, a sense of completion that a season has passed and it is time to move on.  It means that the purpose of our relationship has been fulfilled, that God now wants to open us up to something new.  It may be hard to embrace change, to accept that something you cherish is coming to an end, but the fact that we are in His hands, that He is bringing us into something new is enough to give us courage to go on.  After all, our God doesn't play with dice, does He? He knows what He's doing.

All in all, great movie! if you haven't already done so, go ahead and watch it if u have an hour and a half to spare.  You'll be surprised by how much this movie can actually teach you. At least I was. 
AND... it's definitely more worthwhile then watching white pretty boys wailing and crying all day about their girlfriends in some foreign language. yeah... korean dramas. ahahahaha
