bobbins film review - Toy Story 3

Not only have I not seen Toy Story 3 I also haven’t seen it in 3D. However I once saw Toy Story 2 on a coach and I can’t see them being that different. After all Jurassic Park: Lost World was more or less the same as the original except instead of Jeff Goldblum getting his legs broken he doesn’t get his legs broken and he has a daughter that kicks a raptor in the face. This would mean that logically Toy Story 3 would feature Buzz Lightyear’s arm not falling off and then his daughter kicks the toy dinosaur in the face.
 
Unfortunately the people at Pixar aren’t every logical so none of this actually happens also they fail to answer some important questions that have been hanging in the air ever since the original Toy Story.
 
1. Why are toys alive and not other things such as statues, colouring books and scissors? It seems especially odd that the Bo Peep lamp and speak and spell are alive but the normal lamps and computer games are not.
2. Why are toys not allowed to talk to children and who enforces these rules?
3. Why does Andy have such a ludicrous collection of mismatched toys and how come he doesn’t have a Batman?
 
People might say these things don’t matter but then those people also shush me when I present my list of gripes about Night at the Museum which are as follows: -
 
1. The cowboy’s guns don’t turn ‘real’
2. The metallious statues somehow become jointed even though the waxworks are still made of wax.
3. The animals come alive but the lions don’t automatically eat everything else.
4. The desks don’t come alive.
 
Suspension of disbelief aside this film is mostly about he toys somehow ending up outside and then larking about a bit. At the end Andy gives his toys away and it is well sad except it doesn’t really make any sense because he should have just kept them and played with them in the spare room while his wife is in the shower.
 
Overall I give Toy Story 3 a ‘Woody’ out of a ‘Buzz’.
