"Toy Story 3" was simply awesome. Walt would be proud, except that Disney never created anything as sophisticated as the "Toy Story" Trilogy. The perfect reason to make a sequel is to build on what came before...and nobody's ever done it much better than Pixar did here. An "A+". Laughed my ass off, cried my eyes out. Who could ask for anything more? The less said about this film in a review, the better. I cannot imagine anyone who loved the earlier movies, or ever loved a toy, not rejoicing in this modern classic fairy tale. Pixar is magical.

Agree 100%...My wife and I saw this last night and absolutely LOVED it. Such a great film, can't wait to own it on Blu ray.
I was really impressed with it as well. I cried, and the last movie I did that at was "Up" also by Pixar.
Ya know, in a lot of ways this could be seen as a highly religious exploration of death with "toy" versions of purgatory, hell, and finally reincarnation.
"Where's your kid now?"
I also saw the reincarnation metaphor...(don't know if it was intended). Wonder what religion THAT would apply to? Some odd form of Hinduism? Buddhism?
Well, I don't think they were going for any specific religious view of the afterlife, but the one that matches the Toy's experience the best, from my limited knowledge point anyways, is Neo-Paganism; which does have heavy Buddhist and Hindu influences in it.
As my son will be leaving for college in the near future, the ending was especially tearjerking for my wife.
