Toy Story 3

"No one gets left behind." Oh wait, it's a tag line from Black Hawk Down. "No toy gets left behind." is the actual tag line for the sequel of the legendary franchise, Toy Story. Yes, Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and their friends are back on Toy Story 3. With Lee Unkrich, the director of Toy Story 2, and John Lasseter, the director of Toy Story, both of them give a guarantee that Toy Story 3 will be as fun as the prequels.

After 11 years, the old cast making their reunion. Tom Hanks reprises his roles as Woody, Tim Allen also comes back as Buzz Lightyear, Joan Cusack with Jessie, well you can say all of the stars from previous Toy Story return.

A scene opens with Woody chasing Mr. Potato Head (Don Rickles) and his wife Mrs. Potato Head (Estelle Harris) who intended to blow a train. It turns out it some sort of dramatization of Andy's playing with them. Now, Andy is 17 years old and he's preparing to move to college. Andy's toy already feels abandoned as they always tried to grab Andy's attention. But they stick to their believe, that toys should remain loyal and always be there for their owner. Surprisingly, Andy decided to take Woody to college with him. As with some unfortunate events, the other toys found out that they're being dumped by Andy. And later on, together with Woody, they all donated to a daycare named Sunnyside Daycare. There, they're greeted with fellow donated toys with the leader, Lots-O'-Hugging-Bear (Ned Beatty), who smelled like a strawberry according to Rex (Wallace Shawn). They're given the room, "Caterpillar Room" while Lotso stays in the "Butterfly Room". Excited about the kids, Andy's toys patiently wait for the break time over. Woody, feels that he is Andy's toy and he should always stays with Andy leaves to gets back to Andy's house. Soon later, they all found out that Caterpillar Room is not a heaven for toys. And so, their journey to gets back to Andy begins.

I watch Toy Story 3 in 3D, and I was entertained. Even though I didn't watch Toy Story and Toy Story 2 at the cinema (I'm 1 year old at the time Toy Story released, and 4 years old at the time Toy Story 2 released; do you expect me to watch it on the cinema?) I did watched it on TV. And yes, for Toy Story 3 really reminds me about the old day. And it even made me feels bad about my old toy, who I didn't even remember where did I kept them. If they can speak like Andy's toy maybe they'll be upset. 

For children (and also adults) Toy Story 3 is a blast. It teaches us a lot of things, such as friendship. And it remind you, your old toys can be made useful once again by donating it to children who really needs it. To entertain kids, that is the purpose of toys. So please respect your toys. See you later, amigo. To infinity, and beyond!
