Time for me to copy paste something I typed earlier.
I watched Toy Story 3 in 3D. My childhood coming full circle. I nostalgia'd. I laughed. I cried. Truly a new classic. You know, one of the first movies I was ever allowed to see was Toy Story. And now all these years later, Toy Story 3, comes to stir up these emotions, and how tied I was to these characters, and what they had done for me as a child. I still buy toys to this day, and this movie reaffirms my love to do so.
So many moments of this movie made me feel joy and happiness, so many others made me feel sadness and anguish. I could not bare to hold in my tears under my 3D glasses. The theater full of GROWN MEN, were in tears, and they don't hide it. Because Toy Story is a part of them. Toy Story is THEIR story. For many little kids there, the movie meant little. But even the smallest details for US, the ones who grew up with the series had us react in a big way. Many had doubted that this would have just been a cash in for pixar. No, it was a lot more. It was something genuine. It was pixar's letter to us. It was their tribute to memory, being forgotten, and being found again.
After coming home to this movie, I sat down, and put my hands to my face. I thought about everything in the movie. I thought of everything in my life. All the toys I had played with, all the toys I had lost, all the times I had, all the friends I had, all these figures of plastic and fabric giving me the times of my life. To them, I had a strong connection, as strong as any human friend I could possibly have. I regret my losses, and broken toys. And with joy I look at the toys that had made it to me currently. Toy Story has impacted my life so much, and now with the curtain closing, I can't do much but to thank it. So thank you Toy Story, thank you Pixar, and thank you, my own toys.
