Toy Story 3
I originally went to Reno to see a movie from South America called "Secret in Their Eyes" set in Argentina in 1974. I asked the ticket salesman, who knows me and my taste in movies pretty well, about the R rating. Lots of violence, murder and a rape. That did it for me. Decided to see "Toy Story 3" instead.
I loved the first Toy Story and the second and was planning on eventually seeing the third anyway. I enjoyed this one as much as the others. A story for adults as well as kids. The boy who owns the toys is packing for college and his mother is making him clean-up and pack away his room. He has to decide which of his old toys go into the attic and which to the trash or to be donated to a nearby children's day care center. The boy decides to bring the cowboy Woody with him to college and to put some of the rest in the attic, including Buzz the spaceman and the cowgirl.
However accidentally the toys get sent to the day care center. At first the toys are delighted. Lots of kids, lots of other toys and everyone seems friendly. But quickly they discover that toddlers don't know how to play with toys properly, beating them up terribly, and the stuffed bear that smells like strawberries who seemed so nice and grandfatherly, is really the autocratic, cruel ruler of all the toys. So they plot their escape.
I was crying by the end (happy tears) - aren't Disney and Pixar so good at reaching deep emotions? Stay for the credits as there are plenty more delightful scenes with the toys
