Agreed. I though he was going to be spotted just briefly in the background, but he was right there on the screen, clear as day many times.

Loved it! A simply perfect ending to a fantastic trilogy, this has to be up there as one of the best (& consistent) films series... ever!

Really excellent film. Every bit as good as the first two. Loved every bit of it.

Laughed out loud a fair bit. The opening scene, Ham getting dibs on Barbie's Corvette, the monkey watching the camera screens.

Really wonderful stuff.

[Fever Dawg]

Completely in awe of Pixar. Absoulute genius.

Loads of great moments - nobody's mentioned Buster yet though? Thought that was brilliant

Was getting really twitchy late on after reading about people crying about the end

Spoiler:

so I almost punched te air when 'the claw' came to the rescue

10/10.

What a great week at the cinema after seeing Inception a few days ago.

a lot of people in this thread seem to be crying over this, why? i saw it in 3d yesterday with my young uns. and niether them, or i were moved to tears. nor was anyone else in the cinema from what i could see

7/10 from me. good, but nowhere near as good as the first or second films

If you didn't cry then you have no soul.

Agreed. If you didn't cry I'd check your pulse, because I think you must be dead.

It won't make children cry though, the emotion is really only applicable to adults.

I think what gets most of us is the relationship between Andy and his Mum - the and theme of 'flying the nest'.

[robzinski]

Saw it last night. Loved it to bits. Another complete gem of a film from Pixar.

[AKPiggott]

I don't get the crying either...

Spoiler:

I thought it was all over with the furnace scene as I was convinced that was the "sad ending" everyone was crying over.

How could anyone not get 'a bit of dust in their eye' when:

Spoiler:

In the furnace, they all look at each other and hold hands as though accepting their fate?! Heart-wrenching.

[Disappearer]

It's a great movie, there were a couple of moments where I almost welled up (but nothing remotely comparable to the first 15 minutes of Up), but I don't think the movie was quite up to the standard of the first two (Toy Story 2 in particular, still Pixar's greatest achievement). Pixar remain way ahead of the pack, but the ending of this flick wasn't the blub-fest I was expecting based on reviews and comments beforehand.

You have a heart of STONE

[Tom Whitaker]

I wasn't just crying in the furnace scene, I was shaking in my seat too. Incredible stuff.

I still rathe the original over Toy Story 2 though, and having watched 2 again recently I'd say The Incredibles and Ratatouille are both better than it too.

I haven't seen TS3 yet - but all my female friends who've taken their kids - Without exception, have HATED it - there's 6 of them.
They all say its dark and depressing.
I have no idea why as I won't let any of them tell me the plot.

I obviously need new friends.....

[mr starface]

I did love the film but didnt come close to crying, dont think I have ever cried at a film though.

Off Topic but that I did cry as a child when I watched the episode of MASH where

You do.


Dark and depressing? There's one scene that's Schilders List for toddlers but the rest of it's as bright and breezy as the other films.

No, much of the film is dark and depressing. I did not think it was really suitable for my four year old. Lot-so is a really nasty character, and both the baby and the monkey are really scary nightmare-ish characters too.

The whole concept of the two rooms at the playcentre, was hugely disturbing, although thankfully it will go over the heads of the younger viewers.

Way too dark compared to the other two - still a great film, but your friends are partially correct.

For the record, the furnace scene did not make me cry, the stuff with Andy's Mum and the whole end sequence with Andy handing over his toys had me blubbing like a baby.

[Fever Dawg]

Ratatouille better than Toy Story 2?!

I can't believe I just read that

Re: The crying. I didn't but I my eyes welled up

Spoiler:

on the furnace scene - one of the most poignant scenes I can remember. And also, when Andy was handing over his toys and he was describing them it really showed how much he cared about them. I just knew it would make them so happy to hear it.
