on my day off two weeks ago i saw toy story 3. and it was incredible. i laughed a lot. i was on the edge of my seat during some scary moments. (the two kids in front of me got so nervous they had to stand up on their seats for part of it. they were little, though, so i could still see over them.) i got really teary at the end. love and devotion and friendship and loyalty and growing up. it's the best movie i've seen in a really long time. i left smiling ear to ear, like an idiot.
the pixar short at the beginning, day & night, was just as good. i love that pixar does this - puts a short before each feature length film. the short doesn't have to be commercially marketable, so i think it's able to be really artistically good. this one contains this line - one of the few spoken in the whole short:
"You know, to me, the most beautiful things in all the universe, are the most mysterious."
(you can read more about it here...it's a paraphrase of something albert einstein said.)
moral of the story: if you haven't seen toy story 3, you NEED to. you can watch it as if you are a kid for an hour and a half, and then as an adult for the last ten minutes.
Okay, I'm sold. Do I need to see the first two to enjoy the third? Hope you're having a blast with the fam! Can't wait to catch up when you return :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteyou definitely don't have to see the first two movies, though the first is awesome (and the second is pretty good) - i will summarize for you here instead: there are toys. they like to be played with. andy is their owner. the end. :)
