I want one. D:
Well I saw it. Really, really good, of course. Better than the first, but I don't remember the second well enough to compare.
Holy shit the incinerator scene was incredibly chilling. The looks of terror with the creeping sense of acceptance as they just give up and hold hands, WITHOUT A SINGLE WORD OF DIALOG...brr.
But it was immediately followed by what may be the most epic brick joke of all time, so it's all good.

Oh. my. God.
I...I'm pretty much speechless. This movie was brilliant. I honestly think that this is Pixar's greatest movie ever. Just...wow. It was hilarious, sad, even downright depressing at times. Seriously, this was a powerful film. And the ending, when Andy plays with his toys one last time, that...good lord, I got a little teary eyed, but when he got to Woody and started to talk about how great he was, I had to fight back the tears.
I loved the bit where they got some crap past the radar when Barbie is complementing Ken on his...
. I am not making that up.
All in all, a brilliant film. I really couldn't have asked for more from Pixar.

Uggggh, this movie. Had me up and down like a yo-yo. I had my expectation way, waaaay up for it - which is not always advisable - but I loved it. There were so many scenes that were so funny the entire theatre was cracking up laughing (off the top of my head, the Potato Head!Tortilla scene - psssffsftf the animation for that was hilarious - and Spanish Buzz), but there were also so many other scenes that had everyone sniffling and went in totally the opposite direction.
I wish something worse had happened to Lotso, though. |/ And that poor Bo Peep had been in it; I felt so bad for Woody.
I could probably ramble on about this movie for a while, so I'll shh. But it was so good. I also really liked that those in the theatre were around half little kids and their parents and half people my age who had obviously been with the series from the beginning.

is not dead after all lol
I saw it with my best friend and mom a while back, but son of a bleemblop, it was amazing. And I also cried during the incinerator scene. The whole time I was like, "Holy crap, I see no way they could get out. Oh my God, they're actually going to die. POR QUE?!" so I was very relieved and started clapping when the green aliens used The Claaaw to save them. Also, when Andy played with them for the last time I cried.
But the very best part was when a little boy in the theatre loudly exclaimed with the most adorable childish giggle in his voice, "HE HAS A CUCUMBER HEAD". And about three little boys were dressed up like Buzz Lightyear, two were Woody, and even a little girl was Jessie. It sealed the deal on me wanting to have children when I get older.
Oh yeah, and right at the incinerator part, my nose started gushing out blood. It was very embarassing.

YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE ME!!!
This film was truly outstanding, and it finished off the series so well, creating the rare thing that is a perfect film trilogy. It lived up the hype and so much more and my life feels somewhat more complete after watching it. 5/5 Stars and I recommend everyone who enjoyed the first to films (well, that means everyone in general then lol) to go and see this!
Oh, and those few scenes...Manly tears were shed. :sad:

Ahh, hopefully I'm going to be able to see it within the next week. :O
This film's release on its own is just amazing. My entire Facebook feed is full of all my school mates, 17-18 years old, saying how brilliant it was. We had a sixth form barbecue yesterday to mark the end of the year, and about half of the people there trooped off to go see it as a massive group.
*can't wait to see it!*

Tragically unbeyachted.
Hehe. My sister and some friends of ours decided to go to the local cinema to see it on Wednesday. We got there, to find that it wasn't going to start showing for another three days. So we drove to Exeter and saw the 10:30 showing, which was great to explain to our mother - "we took your car halfway across the county to see a kid's film and, yes, we didn't get back till 1am"
But I thought it was really great. The opening dream-fantasy sequence was absolutely perfect (I want a dinosaur that eats force fields for breakfast!), and the throwback to the opening of the first film was great - I'm a complete sucker for self-reference, and this film had it in spades. The bit that made me laugh the most, I think, was Woody summoning up Buster, only for him to be all old and decrepid. Sid making a cameo as the dustbin man was pretty excellent, too.
The incinerator bit was really sweet, and I think the entire cinema laughed at Barbie's political statement at the end. Her torture of Ken was a joy to watch, too XD
I didn't cry, but I still managed to have a terribly embarassing reaction - that frigging MONKEY made me swear like a sailor. I'm glad I saw a late showing so there weren't any kids around/parents of said kids to glare at me. But Jesus Christ, it SCREAMED and its freaking EYES POPPED OUT OF ITS HEAD and AAAAH. I nearly jumped out of my seat every time that sodding thing appeared on the screen.
The baby doll-thing was freaky as, too. Those eye-rolling babies creeped me the hell out when I was little, and that one was huge and had the scary as all-hell eye-rolling thing going on and didn't speak but made all those disturbing gurgling noises. Yes, it was brainwashed by Lotso, but holy hell, at no point in the film did I want that thing anywhere near me.
I've been shown all manner of horror films this year by a friend of mine, but nothing I've seen has come close to how freaking terrifying that effing monkey was.
One of the things I especially loved about it was how Andy was going off to college, which is exactly what the kids who saw the original when it came out are doing now. I've always been around Andy's age at the time the films came out, and it's pretty brilliant to completely relate to Andy's toys being the centre of his world when he was very little (every kid imagines their toys come alive when they're out of the room, after all, and to see that on film thrilled me), then be an age when you're sorta growing out of them at the time of Toy Story 2, and now be going off to uni but not wanting to get rid of the toys that pretty much defined your childhood.

Yo, Jessie, imma let you finish, but Lotso was the best Pixar villain of all time. THE BEST PIXAR VILLAIN OF ALL TIME.
Seriously though, Lotso, at least in my eyes, surpassed all previous Pixar villains, including the villains of the previous two movies. More intimidating than Hopper, more intelligent than Waternoose, more vengeful than Syndrome, more selfish than Skinner, more cold and calculating than Auto, more freaking insane than Muntz. He was certainly a fittingly brilliant villain for the trilogy's end and as the Law of Bruce teaches us, a story is only as intelligent as its best villain.
There's nothing I can say about the emotional rollercoaster that is Toy Story 3 that hasn't already been said, so I just homed in on what I know best, which is villains.
Though, as Kinova said, I was disappointed Lotso didn't get a better comeuppance.
