Toy Story 3 (2010)

I've juuuuust come back from seeing Toy Story 3.
I desided to risk it to see it in flemish, and not 3D.
I love the first 2 Toy Story movies, their one of my all time favourite animated movies, I remember seeing Toy Story 2 in theatre when I was 7 and having a blast and a tear. 11 years later now I see Toy Story 3 as an adult and with a highly movie critical point view. I found it to be a nice closure to the franchise, I wouldn't say the best Toy Story but a very good and moving ending.

All characters were back and still the same as I remember, + we got some new funny ones to.
Rex was nice to see again, although I was disapointed that it wasnt't his original voice like previous 2 movies.
Suprisingly there were a lot of returning flemish voice actors, Woody's, Buzz, Jessie, Mr Potato head, and I think Mrs Potatohead to.
They were back and full action and hilarity!
And the bear suprisingly creeped me out in some scenes

The story was ok I guess, didn't had the same power as 2 previous movies though. The timing of the film was ok, It didn't feel rushed or dragged on. Beginning was ok, middle of the movie ok, sometimes funny, and the ending... like wauw... grab a tissue people, it was so beautiful and heartwarming that I really felth good at the ending, although there are some sad scenes though (wich got my girlfriend to the tissue).

The only complaints I have that it was just sometimes predictble, especially if you have seen 2 previous movies, wich was a problem for me in a scene.
SPOILER ALERT!
The scene were everybody held their hands and accepted the fate that awaited them should have been touching, but it wasn't for me cause they were obviously gonna get saved somehow of course.

My first look is a huge thumbs up, pixar, you did it again!
And when you see the movie, watch out for those Easter Eggs, look out for the Pizza Planet car!
Feeling old? Watch all Toy Story movies =)

PS: End credit song is sorta funny xD
