100 Favorite Movies: 5

What else can be said about Toy Story 3 that hasn't already been said? It is truly a flawless piece of filmmaking that is evidenced by the universal acclaim (we're just gonna ignore Armond White) received by the greatest Pixar movie ever made. Toy Story 3 came to us fifteen years after the first Toy Story and eleven years from the most recent Toy Story installment. It took out favorite characters that we all know and love (Woody and Buzz, Rex and Slinky, Hamm and Mr. Potato Head, Jessie and Bullseye) and pitted them against some of their greatest challenges. Staying relevant in Andy's life, surviving the daycare, avoiding a furnace, toppling Lotso, escaping Sunnyside, and eventually saying goodbye to their beloved Andy. I had no idea what to expect from the third installment of the trilogy, but the ending made me question just why there were tears in my eyes. But now I understand. I do.

Animated comedy directed by Lee Unkrich and written by Michael Arndt in 2010.

Starring: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Ned Beatty, John Morris, Don Rickles, Blake Clark, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Estelle Harris, Michael Keaton, Jodi Benson, R. Lee Ermey, Emily Hahn, Jeff Pidgeon, Timothy Dalton, Kristen Schaal, Jeff Garlin, Bonnie Hunt, and Whoopi Goldberg.

Tune in tomorrow for number four!

  1. Amazing movie with such an emotional roller coaster. Not only this movie itself, but the three movies all together. Gonna be rough watching them going forward, that's for sure.
