TOY STORY 3

[BoylenOver]

More useless Pixar trivia: is it common knowledge that Joss Whedon and Joel Coen (plus Aaron Stanton) wrote the screenplay for "Toy Story"?

Unfortunately it's not Joel Coen, co-writer of FARGO, LEBOWSKI and SERIOUS MAN, but Joel Cohen, writer of DADDY DAY CAMP, EVAN ALMIGHTY and GARFIELD: A TALE OF TWO KITTIES.

We took our 5 year old to see TS3 last night. I thought it was fantastic but my daughter had a rough time. She doesn't scare easily, so the intense action didn't bother her, but she's very sensitive so a lot of the emotionally traumatic moments had her crying. She says she doesn't want to see it again until it's on DVD because it's easier to watch at home.

Saw this last night with my 4 year old, she loved it watched the whole movie and did not make a peep. Really good film, my wife cried at the end.

Also Bonnie is the spitting image of HLs little girl. Seriously she reminds me a ton of his daughter.

My wife and I laughed about that as well and saw some similarities. We went and saw it Friday night. Both the kids and my wife and I loved the movie. My 5 year old explained to us afterwards that she is going to make sure that her favorite toys are always played with and that when the day comes that she doesn't want to play with them anymore, she will give them to her 2 and 1/2 year old sister to play with so they always have someone taking care of them.

Liked the movie. My brother & sister-in-law took my nephew earlier in the week for his 4th birthday. Poor kid has serious OCD, and the movie was a lot of trauma for him. E.g., he'll tell you all his old toys are in the attic, and my sister-in-law only gets hand-me-downs out of the house by telling him that whoever's taking them is taking them to be washed. So, great movie for a kid who already has a hard time letting his toys go before he thought something bad might happen to them.

Little Robin got home from a sleepover the other night where they watched Toy Story 3 on DVD. Faith looked puzzled because she didn't think that it would be on DVD yet when it is still in the movie theaters. I told her that 'of course it is on DVD,' and that she could buy it in the parking lot of the neighborhood Ralph's for $5. Little Robin also watched Freddy vs. Jason, which he reports was a 'pretty good movie, not too scary.'

Saw it last Thursday with all four kids ages 2-9. They all loved it and sat attentively throughout the movie ( a first ).

My viewing companion was 56 years old, and I missed the pleasure of watching the movie with kiddies. But I'm curious how yours, and those of the other parents here, handled certain anxious moments.

Spoiler for the scary scene:

the scene when the toys are slowly sliding down into the fiery pit. Even I was mildly anxious, and thought the scene was both frightening and touching (I liked how the toys held hands and looked at each other as if they knew this was the end). For those who haven't seen the movie but have chosen to read the spoiler--good news is in store!

I wouldn't have hesitated to have my young kids see the movie, but I'm curious if anyone's spawn was at all traumatized by it.

I had no idea what was to come in the movie and therefore didn't prepare myself or kids for that scene. During the scene I looked over at my 2 and 4 year old to see how they were taking it, and both seemed unaware of the gravity involved. Since the movie both my 4 and 9 year old said they were "scared" but no one has had nightmares. Everyone seems to be handling it well.

Yeah my 4 year old was the same way, my wife however was bawling.

We went to this last night and I was thinking no way it could live up to the hype of 99% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, or the glowing reviews here and elsewhere. I was wrong, it was absolutely great.

My wife and kids went to see it yesterday. I asked the 7 year old how it was and she said "It was the best movie I've ever seen in my life except for Pee Wee's Big Adventure."

[SeattleUte]

But the most amazing bit was that the ending had me in tears - not because of any special message but because Pixar has somehow managed to get me emotionally invested with a computer-rendered visual representation of fictitious toys. Amazing.

lol well put. I had the same thought after seeing it today.

My six year old boy turned to me and said, "Dad, will they get out?" I hadn't the heart to not say, "Yes."
