Toy Story: The trilogy of a generation


First off, can we just note how good of a title this blog has. Second, to get you all in the mood, please note that I am listening to 'you got a friend in me' in both english and spanish. Or better yet, pull up youtube and put it on yourself. Okay so we all know that toy story 1 was a fantastic movie and the second one did not fall far behind. But for those of you who have not seen the third yet, STOP READING AND GO SEE IT. I'm thinking it was so good that I'm going to put it on my top movies list. Well, that doesn't exist, but if I had one, it would be on there. It was so so good. Toy Story was a symbol of all of us growing up and to grow up with these movies just seems like something so special to me. Seeing Andy go off to college reminded me of Jeff leaving last year and of the crazy fact that that will be me next year. Leaving my toys and my childhood behind. Oh my goodness. I have never cried so much in a movie. And I think it's not only because of that ongoing theme, or that the fact that we can all relate to toy story in so many ways but because we all grew up with Andy.It was sad to see it end but I feel like it was the perfect ending, with just the right amount of closure and I'm pretty sure everyone else from our generation would agree. I think it's a good thing they aimed the whole story at us, and not at the new little kids that would be watching it. I think it's just cool that everyone has the same understanding that toy story is ours. And that's what makes my heart ache when I watch it. When Bonnie went to take Woody, and Andy clutched him to his chest and wouldn't let him go... OH BOY tears come to my eyes just thinking about it. And watching Andy play with his toys just one last time with Bonnie, oh my god literally I'm crying again.haha wow.But seriously, Toy Story 3 is a flash back to our past, and a look into our futures and that's what makes it truly special.

Toy Story forever, to infinity and beyond
