Went to see Toy Story 3 in 3D this week. I absolutely love animated films - stuff like Shrek, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Monsters Inc, Kung Fu Panda, Bee Movie, Chicken Run... the list could go on for quite some time!! Sometimes I feel like a big kid at heart, with simple pleasures like a cartoon character doing silly things that makes me laugh.
I think the first Toy Story film was one of the first ever movies I ever saw at a cinema. Ever. For me, it was a real treat, a novel way of watching a film. And even to this day I love going to the cinema and still find it an exciting way to spend an evening. I don't go as much as I'd like to though...
Anyway, Toy Story 3 was really good fun, made even better by watching it in 3D. I have to say, watching 3D movies is fantastic. I've seen Avatar and Clash of the Titans in 3D and the effects were amazing. As an aside, they actually had a trailer for Avatar - it's being re-released with "never seen before footage" which means that they will get people flocking to the cinemas AGAIN. It really annoys me when that happens - why not just release it in the first place with said extra footage instead of cheating people out of their good money twice? It's the same with music albums... they get released and fans buy them, two minutes later it's released again but with a bonus track or limited edition poster or something... and if you're a true fan then you'd want to go get it even though you have something that is 99% the same already.
Okay, rant over. Back to the point of the post... Toy Story 3 in 3D... well worth watching! It was laugh out loud funny with the same old familiar characters that you know and love, and some new ones. I especially liked the Ken doll who took a shine to Barbie, even though he was so camp! It was super cute and touching at the end though, and I confess I welled up a little as it was so sweet and poignant.
It was good fun to watch something light hearted and not too taxing on the brain... go and see it if you need some cheering up, you'll laugh I promise!! :-)
