Monsters vs. Aliens

Monsters vs. Aliens. How can you go wrong with a title like that? Well you don't unless you can satisfy the audience you're hoping. And it's really does pay off here. There's funny scenes and like Bee movie, a lot of these joke really do hit bulls eyes. Actually, about 99.99% of these jokes do hit the mark. The characters are all memorable. They're fun, funny and I guess they are also a bit innocent. What the story? We have a woman named "Susan." She about to get married but through a tragic accident which involves a meteor hitting her. She transforms into a giant. So she kidnapped by the government to be used as a soldier. They put her in with the other monsters who are brought in to also be soldiers. There's a fish man called the "Missing Link", a cockroach scientist named "Doctor Cockroach  P.H.D", a blue blob with one eye named B.O.B, who I'm just going to say is my favourite character. And a gigantic monster called the "Insectosaurous." The government keeps them there in case a threat comes. What a shock, a threat comes to Earth. So the president tells them to send in their best men... or monsters. The monsters fight a giant robot alien and manage to destroy it. But now the main villain tries to get Susan to get what's inside her that makes her giant. And of course the ending is awesome. I would say the heart of the movie does come from Susan. There times in the film where you feel really sorry for her. Her boyfriend turns out to be a jerk, her family is scared of her now that she's a giant even though she wouldn't hurt anyone and now the government wants to use her as a weapon for destruction even though she has no training what so ever. The comedy of the movie comes from B.O.B who just kills me every time I watch him. The other characters are funny too but probably not as funny as B.O.B. Though I would say that the one down side of the movie is some of the C.G.I. Yeah, sometimes the animation on some of the humans is a little odd. Though that's just a tiny complaint so it's not flawed that much. I would also say the villain is pretty funny at some scenes too. So I would say that Monsters Vs. Aliens wouldn't be a 100% strong film but there's funny scenes and characters and it is interesting and well it is awkward it is also enjoyable. So I would say it is worth watching.

Bee movie

Ever since I was stun as a child I had this gigantic hatred for bees and wasps. If I ever saw one around I'd either try to kill it but probably just stay away from it. But when I saw Bee movie I began to think differently. My brother told me it was a terrible movie. So recently I watched it to see if what he said was true. And I have to say... it was amazing. I mean really amazing. What's the story? We have a bee named "Barry." He just graduated from bee school and now he and his class have to pick a job to do for the rest of their lives. Though that's Barry's problem. He doesn't like the idea that he's going to be assigned to one job for the rest of his life. So he decides to go out and see the world before he does. So what? This is going to be like Antz where he's trying to fight for free will? Actually no. He comes across a human woman and he decides to reveal to her that he can talk and they share a nice relationship together. So what? Everyone's going to say you can't date a human and that stuff? Actually no. When he finds out that honey is being used by humans he decide to sue the human race. And it turns into this gigantic trial. So what? He going to win the court case and everyone going to be happy and all that stuff? Actually no. The bees turns out gets too much honey, which means they don't have to work anymore, which means they don't pollenate anymore, which means all the plants of the world start to die. So it's up to Barry and the woman to try to get the world back to order. You know what!? Really big bravo to this movie. I honestly had no idea where it was going to go. And I love movie that do that. That are constantly making me guess. Though the one down side is everything I was talking about before like Barry being tied to his job. Never mentioned again. The anger of a bee dating a human. Never mentioned again. Heck, even the fact that she's married to another human and he's angry at her for being friends with a bee. You guessed it. Never mentioned again. So I guess in that since. It's somewhat lazy. They were getting to really good story arks that were going somewhere and just dropped it and went to something else. Though what makes it stand out is the fact that it has some very likable characters, animation and really, really funny scenes. Sure there are some really bad puns in this. But a lot of these joke really do hit bulls eyes, even ones I think wouldn't hit bulls eyes. Like this bee Larry King and I remember thinking "Oh god I can't believe I'm watching this, are they really doing this." But actually they do something funny with it. There's also other really funny scenes in this and it had me laughing on the floor. And not to mention that there's some fantastic ideas for this world they create. It's just so creative. And like I said in How to train your dragon there's just something about Dream works animation that's so good and they can really simulate motion well. Particularly like I said flying. Like I said in How to train your dragon the flying scenes can really do something to you. You feel like you're off the ground and you're traveling with these creatures. Even getting stuck to a car. You feel like on that car getting pushed against the windshield. I didn't expect to like Bee movie starting out. But really I was way wrong. And yeah, like I said there are some problems. But it was better than what I was expecting. So I would say to people who don't like try looking at it again. You might find there a lot more good things in it than you thought. So yeah I'd say check it out.

Over the hedge

I'll say this right away. This movie is emotional, family friendly and funny. There's some great moments in this movie and it really, really fits into the movie. What's the story? We have a racoon named "RJ," who accidentally destroyed some food belonging to a bear named "Vincent." He promised that if he wouldn't kill him he would get all the food back within one week. We then cut to a forest where some animals led by a turtle named "Verne" have just awoken from hibernation. Every year they always gather food to fill the log that they live in for the winter. The members are "Ozzie and Heather the possums," "Stella the stunk," "Lou, Penny, Spike, Quillo and Bucky the porcupines" and "Hammy the squirrel." I'd say that Hammy is my favourite character. They come across a hedge in the forest where they live and over it is "Suburbia." RJ tricks them to help him gather the food for Vincent. Verne doesn't trust RJ but the others are trusting him, though he doesn't tell them that he's just going to steal the food once they gather it all the food he's just going to take it all and just give it to Vincent. They get all the food from a woman's house from across the hedge. One night while they're stealing her food, an exterminator comes and captures them all, but RJ manages to get away and gets the food to Vincent. He then realises how much he needs them all so he goes in saves them but Vincent tries to kill him because he destroyed the food again. The reason I said this movie is emotional is because there's a lot of family moments in it. There good and soothing melodies not to mention really heart-warming songs like the "Still" song. I could just listen to that song forever. It's really nice. One of the better upsides of the movie is the cast. They're just great characters and on top of that it's a great set-up. RJ is not the villain, Verne is not the villain. It's just that they all just don't wan to die. And I know everyone can relate to that. Hammy is my favourite character because he is such a maniac. He is just so full of energy and he is just so hyper. His actions like that just makes me laugh my pants off. The rest of the actors do a good job of bringing good personalities to these characters. The climax is a ton of fun. The animals are being hunted by the woman, exterminator and Vincent and the ending is just awesome.

Puss In Boots

Puss in boots was a movie where I have to say, I never got over. When I say that I mean it was so, so good I know I'll remember it for a long, long, long time. It's the exact same Puss in boots from Shrek. It's so funny. I just love watching it I always think it's really creative and colourful. What's the story? Puss in boots is a wanted cat running from the law trying to clear his name from a crime he accidentally committed. One day he goes to a town and some men tell him about some criminals named "Jack & Jill" who have stolen magic beans. What do the bean do? Yep. Make a beanstalk and goes up to the sky to a giant's castle. But this time there's no giant. Instead it's a gigantic goose named the great terror who protect the golden goose who lays golden eggs. Puss tries to get the beans for himself so he can get the eggs to repay a debt he has to pay. Along the way he meets an old friend of his named "Humpty Dumpty" and a girl cat named "Kitty Softpaws." The three of them get the beans from Jack & Jill grow the beanstalk. They steal the golden goose and try to get back to Puss and Humpty's old home town. But Puss finds out there may be a way bigger conspiracy than he thinks. I'll get through all the bad stuff first than the good stuff. That what I'll be doing for these reviews. I'll be doing the bad stuff then the good stuff. I'd say the only bad part of the movie is... well the ending. It's not that it's bad. It's just confusing. At the end Humpty, being an egg, falls and cracks. And inside him was a golden egg. Where did it come from? Why does he have a golden egg inside him? O.K. That all my bad stuff. Let's talk about the good stuff. Because really there's a lot. I'd say the best thing about the movie is the comedy. There's some really funny scenes. There's also the great voice actors that they get to play the roles of these characters. They really do all fit together. The guy who played Puss in the Shrek movies is also the same guy who plays him in this movie too. And the story of this movie is good too. I'm not really sure who the villain of this movie is, but if I had to guess, it's probably Jack and Jill. The animation is pretty good too. I mean the animation on it was really impressive. Especially on the characters. Actually now that I think about it, the characters are what make this film. They're fun, funny, adventuress and interesting. I'd say the most interesting part of the movie is probably when they get back to the town and Humpty is talking to Puss about what he's been planning this whole time or when we learn about Puss and Humpty's backstory.

Antz

This movie was actually DreamWorks first movie ever. It also probably has one of the best backstories ever. If you know the Disney movie A bugs life, you'll know what I'm talking about. One of the people who worked in Disney left Disney after Toy story premiered and apparently Disney and Pixar were already starting on their next C.G.I movie about bugs. Well the guy who left left to start Dream Works and guess what!? He thinks he owned that great idea about C.G.I bugs. So it was a giant race to see who could get their family friendly bug movie out first. That's right. That summer only within weeks away from each other there were the movies Antz and A bug's life. It was very bizarre. So I'm going to compare these two movies together. Antz came out first. Then A bug's life came out later. Now I personally that A bug's life is the better story. I liked the characters more, with the visuals it was a bit interesting and while the idea for Antz was a bit more creative A bug's life was good too. But for now I'm going to review Antz. What the story? We have an ant named "Z." He's a tiny bit of an idiot. He lives in a colony of ants where it's easy to lose your identity. He has friends here and there but for the most part he finds it hard to fit in. That is until he comes across the queen's daughter. They begin to fall in love with each other but while uncovering an evil plan from the villain of this movie "General Mandible" Z and the princess get whisked away outside the colony. While they're gone Z decides to do what an ant told him before. Go to a place "Insecttopia." Which is nothing more than a rubbish bin. As the first Dream Works movie this one is pretty cool. The characters are fun and the world that they live in is pretty cool to look at. I'm going to get through the bad stuff first then I'll talk about the good stuff. One of the bad parts in it is the voices they've given these characters. The actors don't do a bad job. They do great. But the voices they put into the characters really doesn't fit for me. I mean a few do fit. But for Z and maybe Mandible they just don't fit. But I don't have any problems with the others. And the other problem I have with it is well there's bad words and some blood in this movie. And this movie is for U and G and that's isn't good. I mean I really don't think that that stuff is stuff parents want their kids to watch. Alright that's my bad stuff let's get to the good stuff and let me tell you. There's a lot. Besides from Z and Mandible the rest of the voice actors do a great job. And the voices really, really do fit the characters. While I just said that there's blood in this movie it comes from fight scenes and the action scenes are great fun and fun to watch. Near the end of the movie where the villain dies is confusing but cool. And do you want to know something that happens at the beginning when the baby ants are born they're immediately decided whether or not they're going to be a worker or a soldier and that's kind of funny. So yeah I did like this movie. Actually I only saw it recently and I understood it perfectly. It was actually really funny. I'd say my favourite character was probably Z or Mandible's assistant "Cutter" because he turns good and nice at the end. So yeah it was good. And that was Dream Works' first movie ever.

How to train your dragon

For a while I'm going to review some DreamWorks movies. I've made reviews for Shrek and Kung-Fu panda which were made by DreamWorks too. Now I'm going to do more. Let's start with one of my favourites How to train your dragon. By all outward appearances I should actually hate this movie. This has so many elements that I can't stand in a movie. The geeky dweeb who becomes the hero. The annoyed parent who will never listen. The misunderstanding that will break them apart a just result in them sad and depressed. The hiding the pet so no one will see it. Even the liar revealed subplot which I should say right now I absolutely hate. This is stuff I usually can't stand. But for some reason, here, it really, really works. There's just some thing about the way this story s told and presented and paced that just really, really gets it. What's the story? A young boy named "Hiccup" lives in a world of Vikings who spend most of their time trying to fight off dragons. Why? Because they believe that dragons are evil. And who can blame them? They constantly attack, breath fire and they're just dangerous animals. But Hiccup begins to see things a little differently when he come across a wounded dragon called a "Night fury" in the middle of a forest. So  Hiccup decides to study him. He actually names the dragon. He names him "Toothless." As he spends more and more time with him he realises that dragons are not really evil. They're like any other animal. Just as long as they can be understood they can be trained to be peaceful. So Hiccup uses this advantage to fight off other dragons... in a sense. He doesn't really fight them he actually finds non-violent ways to defend them off. Which gets him the attention of the village where he lives called "Berk", and more importantly his father who mostly sees him as a disappointment but now finally sees something they can connect with. But gee will the father's anger issues get in the way to the point where he says he doesn't have a son and all that other stuff? Yes. But it's actually done pretty good here. The only reason I can think of as to why it work here and not in other stories is that the pacing just so good. Every time something happens you see how it effects the characters. Every emotion feels genuine. You see that when the characters are happy they feel genuinely happy, when they're jealous they feel genuinely jealous and when they're heart-broken you really feel how heart-broken they are. And I think so much of that comes from the fact that they take the time to let us know these people. And it's not ruched. The flying scenes unbelievable. I mean they are great and wonderful to look at. When this movie came out it was in 3-D. And I still stand by it when I say this is the greatest looking 3-D movie I've ever seen. I saw it in the Gate and it blew me away. Anytime there's a flying scene you felt like you were on this dragon and you were riding where ever the rider was going. I don't know what they did, how or they did it, but more movies need to do this. They're actually making a second one this year. I'm really excited to see it. I mean I absolutely love the first one so I don't really know what to expect with the second one. They actually made a TV show from this. And I just love the TV show. I have to say though, this is definitely  one of my favourite DreamWorks movies.

Kung-Fu Panda

Kung-Fu Panda is a great film. I t was actually made by the some company that made Shrek, called "DreamWorks." So what's the story. In China there lives a Panda named "Po." He's a big fan of the "Furious five." A group of marshal artists. Just to clarify everyone in this movie is an animal. One day the great, wise master turtle named "Oogway."is about to chose who of the furious five is going to be the "Dragon Warrior," the marshal artists who will stop the evil "Tai-lung," who has broken out of prison and is on his way to their village to get revenge. Po get flung into the mix and Oogway selects him. Everyone, including Po himself thinks that Oogway has made a mistake. but Oogway says that he is the dragon warrior so he decides to go along with his plan. Po's new teacher named "Shifu" doesn't like that a random person who looks clumsy and kinda stupid, which he kinda is, tries to train Po so hard he'll want to go away. But Po is so excited and so full of determination he doesn't even think of it. When they release that Tai-lung is coming, the race is on to get Po to be the real Dragon warrior before Tai-lung gets there. The movie is really pretty to look at with world they create. The characters are pretty cool with their personalities and characteristics. Po is very likable with his innocents and his needs to never give-up. The furious five all have good personalities and are all pretty well developed. Since at first their kinda mean, stuck-up, kinda arrogant and rude. But by the end they're all nice, likable and funny. Who are they? There's a girl tiger named "Tigress." A mantis named "Mantis." A girl snake named "Viper." A monkey named "Monkey," And a crane named "Crane." The movie also does surprisingly well with mixing in drama, despite the fact that it's supposed to be a comedy and an action film and it mixes in all those elements in brilliantly. The fight scenes are unbelievable and are awesome looking. If I did have one problem with the movie is that the ending is kinda anti-climatic. Why? Because throughout the whole move we've been told over and over of how awesome and strong Tai-lung is, and yet he's able to beat Shifu and the furious five. And yet he couldn't beat Po. I mean I didn't want to see him kill Po because he's the hero and I like him. Kung-Fu Panda is a great film for both children and adults of any age. It's funny, it's cool, it's pretty and let's not forget, it's awesome.

Kung-Fu Panda 2

Alright. So you guy know that I love the first Kung-Fu Panda. You know that I love the movie and the characters and the joke and so forth. So that's  putting a lot of pressure on it's sequel "Kung-Fu Panda 2." And what did I think of that? Honestly... it's even better than the first. That's right. I don't even think this movie is as great as the original, but it surpasses it. Like Toy Story, with the first one setting the popularity bar and this time even the bar of the movie going up really high. The first movie ups the joke, characters, action and even drama. Yeah there's good animation and acting this movie. So what's the story? Po returns as the Dragon Warrior. But a new threat has come. A peacock named "Shen" threatens China with a huge cannon. And in the past he has wiped out all the pandas. Why? Because a Soothsayer said that a panda is the only thing that will defeat him. He want's to take back the land that he says is rightfully his. So Po and the Furious five go to defeat him. But they discover that not only that he has a greater army than they expected but they also find out the secret of Po's backstory and the reveal of his real parents. Yeah in the first one, Po lives with his adoptive goose father named "Mr Ping." Rather then tell the story in the first one or rehash anything they actually decide to continue the story, like a good sequel should. Po is not only learning more as a person but he's also learning more in his fighting skills. And the Furious five aren't just making fun of him anymore, they're actually beginning to really respect. I actually think there a really good real believable friendship between him and them including Tigress. And again all the skills he's learning has a very heavy lean towards marshal philosophy and ethics. This one leading towards learning to conquer yourself before you conquer your enemies. Remember how I said in the first one the ending was kinda anti-climatic because Tai-lung wasn't that impressive. Shen is the exact opposite. Shen is a great villain. He has a fantastic backstory he, has a great design, he has a devious voice. He's actually a better fighter than Tai-lung was. I liked the first movie a lot but this one is way better. This one also threw in a few more twists and turns a made it a bit more dramatic. Heck, when I saw it in the cinema I think I heard people crying at some scenes in this movie. Yes, Kung-Fu Panda 2 actually made people cry in the cinema. That a dang impressive feet. To be honest I have no problems with this movie at all. I think it's another one of those perfect films with everything being stepped up to the next level. Even a better villain. And guess what? There's going to be a Kung-Fu Panda 3 in 2016. I'm really excited. This is a film series that just get's better and better and I hope the third one can make everyone want to show it to everyone they know.  you liked the first one, than you're definitely going to love the second one.

Shrek

The story begins with an ogre named “Shrek” who lives in a swamp and he scares people so he can be left alone. A man called “Farquad” sends fairy tale creatures to Shrek’s swamp. Shrek isn’t happy so he goes to him and tell him that he’s not happy so Farquad makes a deal with him. He’ll get rid of all the creatures in his swamp and Shrek saves a princess named “Fiona” so he can marry her to become king. Shrek agrees and they do just that. As they continue on back to Farquad, Shrek and Fiona begin to develop feelings for each other. When they make it back, Shrek then realises where his heart truly lies. Fiona has a secret that every time the sun goes down she turns into an ogre herself. In the end Fiona and Shrek get married and I should also say that another main character is a donkey named “Donkey”, yes I’m serious. He’s the funniest character in Shrek ever. Shrek is by far my favourite DreamWorks story saga I’ve ever seen. The stories are amazing, the comedy is hilarious and the music is so contagious that you either want to listen to it forever or sing it over and over. Shrek one was probably one of the first movies I ever saw and it just kept blowing me away every single time I saw it and as I kept getting older I understood and liked it more and more. The characters just blend into you and you really feel sympathy for all the characters.

Shrek 2

I almost exploded the first time I saw the movie. The story is perfect and simple to understand, you see over and over the amount of times you see this the more you want more people to see it too. Shrek, Fiona and Donkey are off to the kingdom of “Far, far away” to visit Fiona’s parents. Her parents are surprised because she’s an ogre and in turn, married an ogre. Her father is especially not happy so he hires an actually cat to try to kill Shrek. Puss in boots is his name and boy is he hilarious. There’s an evil fairy god mother who also wants Shrek to die so that her son prince charming can marry Fiona. Shrek wants to make his wife happy so he drinks a potion that he, donkey and puss, who joined them, get from the fairy god mother’s factory where they make magic potion. This causes Shrek and Fiona to turn human, which will not only get the blessing of her parents but her love in return. There were some great twists in it. Like Shrek and Fiona turning human after the potion and Donkey turning into a horse. You see new characters. Like the king and queen of far, far away or puss in boots or the fairy god mother or prince charming. I say Shrek’s final development comes in this movie. Having gone through all that he has he willing to give-up everything in the swamp just to make his wife happy that’s pretty heart-warming.

Shrek The Third

This, in my opinion is the best out of all the Shrek movies. It’s comedy, its speed, its pasting, its timing. The amount of things they do right in this movie is fantastic. Fiona’s father dies of being a frog, yeah at the end of last movie the fairy god mother shot him with her wand and turned him into a frog, which means that Shrek has to be king. But he doesn’t want to be king so he, Donkey and Puss go off and try to find Fiona’s cousin “Arthur” or they just call him “Artie.” Artie is annoying at parts because he’s kind of whiny but you do grow out of it. Shrek wants him to be the king. They manage to convince him to come with them but the ship they travelled on crashes and they’re left on an island they get help back to Far, Far Away from a wizard named Merlin. However when they’re there it in ruins because Prince charming from last movie has gathered all the fairy tale villains to take over Far, Far Away and kill Shrek and Fiona. Ya you can guess the rest of it. Shrek wins and everyone's happy. There's a little development for Shrek in this movie but probably not as much as number 2. There is so much comedy and family in this. Shrek and Fiona have kids in this movie who they name "Fergus, Fergal and Felecia." It's very nice to look at when we finally see them. It's weird that at a lot of the movie Shrek isn't happy that he's going to be father and at the end when we see them, he's very happy. Though a lot of the movie is fun, family, comedy and so enjoyable.

Shrek Forever After

Shrek forever after is the final Shrek movie and out of them all. It's my second favourite. It's definitely the 2nd funniest. What's the story? A bored and domesticated. Shrek pacts with deal-maker Rumpelstiltskin to get back to feeling like a real ogre again, but when he's duped and sent to a twisted version of Far, Far Away -- where Rumpelstiltskin is king, ogres are hunted, and he and Fiona have never met -- he sets out to restore his world and reclaim his true love. The villain in this movie is one of the funniest villains I've ever seen. The story is o.k. Shrek's development this time really doesn't go anywhere this time. Actually it kind of goes downhill a bit because he's kind of mean to Fiona and the others. It's still enjoyable, funny and fun. It is better than the third one but I wouldn't say it better than the first or second one but it's kinda... you know what I mean. Donkey and Puss are constantly hilarious in this movie. Donkey's a slave and Puss is a fat weird looking cat who's Fiona's new pet and it's all really funny.

Toy Story

Toy story is the very first C.G.I animated film ever made. When this film came out every one went nuts, it was loved by everyone, and yeah it's obvious to see why. It's funny, colourful, memorable characters and memorable moments. What's the story? Woody the cowboy is a toy who belongs to a kid named Andy, Andy's favourite toy. But when Andy leaves his room all the toys come to life and start chatting with each other. And they're especially concerned because Andy's birthday party is today. And they're afraid the new toys might overshadow them, even to the point of having tem be given away. But Woody is there to calm them down because of course he's Andy's favourite... or at least was. A new toy named Buzz Lightyear has all the latest gizmos and technology. Woody eventually get jealous and tries to get Andy to notice him again. One day when Woody tries to get Buzz stuck behind a desk the plan goes too far and he accidentally knocks Buzz out of the house. Woody get into the same situation and the rest of the film is a race to get back home before Andy and his family move. The strength of this movie is the characters. These are just fantastic characters. Not to mention the brilliant setup. I mean Buzz nor Woody are the villains it all just a form of jealousy which leads to great comedy. Really that's what this film seems half to be, comedy. And also there's also Andy's doings. When I say that I mean he is playing with Buzz more and that's what started the feud between Woody and Buzz. But you can't blame him because well he's just being a regular kid playing with toys. There's also the villain Sid. I'd say he's an o.k villain. He blows up toys and torchers toys too. Another thing I think is pretty good is the C.G.I. With the C.G.I on the toys it's really impressive because the plastic texture actually work really well in C.G.I animation. There's also the spoon that Woody uses to look at himself with. That looked really there. However with C.G.I on the humans and Scud the dog yeah they look kinda awkward. Give them credit, I was the first C.G.I animated film ever made so it is forgivable. The film works unbelievably well. This movie has to be a classic. Filmmakers all over the world knew how great this film was and decided to do it themselves too. This one is nothing but a classic.

Toy Story 2

With the first Toy story being a surprise monster hit, they were going to be making their next movie and while that one was a success too it wasn't as good as Toy story. So they decided to make a Toy story 2. While people loved the first one I'm pretty sure it was going to be hard to do a movie that was just as good. And what did I think of it!? I thought I was brilliant and it's one of my favourites but I didn't think it was as good as the first one. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love it. I just think it's the way it looks it a little odd. Also I think there's too much lighting. But do I love it? Yeah I do I just don't think it's as good as the first one. What's the story? Woody and Buzz are back again but this time Woody is in a bit of trouble. Andy has gone off to Cowboy Camp, a garage sale is going on and sadly one of the older toys named "Wheezy" is being sold off. Woody goes in to save him but gets stolen by a nasty toy store owner named "Al." In Al's apartment Woody comes across a cowgirl named "Jessie", a horse named "Bullseye" and a minor named the "Prospector." The race is on for the rest of Woody's friends to go out to and save him but it seems like Woody might have seconds thoughts about returning home, because he knows that eventually he has to face the inevitable. That Andy will grow-up and someday forget about him. He has another choice where he can be taken to a museum in Japan where he can be enjoyed by people forever. People would come from all over the world just to see that he exists. So why don't I think this one is better than the last one, especially when everyone else says it is better? Well I already told you one of the reasons but also I also would of liked a little more scenes to make us laugh. Also I think the scene where Woody shouts to Buzz and the others in Al's apartment is way too out of hand. I mean they travelled all the way to help him and yet in the end he shouts at them for it and I think that that's a little too mean. O.k now what do I like about it? Well, everything else. The characters are still their funny, creative, lovable and great selves. And for what we got it was funny, dramatic, intense and well written. While the Prospector and Al are the two villains of this it is pretty good. You actually relate a lot with this movie. You relate with dealing with the inevitable. What will happen in the end? What should you do? What's the better thing for yourself and for others. I'd say my favourite scene in this movie is the scene where Buzz, Rex, Slinky, Hamm and Potato Head are under the cones crossing the street. Watch this and you might know why.
Also Jessie has a backstory that's probably the most dramatic scene in the whole movie. Watch.
So do I love this movie? Absolutely. The characters are still fantastic. It's just great.

Toy Story 3

Toy story 3 is the final toy story there is. And I have to say, this is the best out of all of them. It has a lot comedy, your favourite characters are back and guess what, it's Toy story 3, meaning it's still is Toy story. Everyone I know who like Toy story also say it's the best out of them all too. Alright, what's the story? Andy is now 17 years old and is now going to collage. He needs to make a decision of weather or not he still wants to hold onto his toys. The toys, well aware of this, have to make a decision about weather or not they still want to hold onto Andy. Well after a miss communication they figure that the best thing to do is probably to move on. They make their way to a day care centre where they think they can be enjoyed by children for years and years to come. The problem, the toy running the day care centre, named "Lotso-huggen-bear." Or just "Lotso", is actually the villain of this movie, like Sid was in the first one or the Prospector or Al was in the second. Woody tries to get back to Andy's house, the toys find out that they made a mistake and try to get back too but Lotso and his gang imprison them, Barbie gets a new boyfriend named "Ken." And Buzz is reprogrammed to be evil and so forth. This was actually the only Toy story movie I ever saw in cinemas. I was born in 1999 and the first one came out in 1995 and number two was made in 1999. Buzz is still my favourite character in Toy story. Sure in some parts of this he's evil because of his reprogramming but they manage to fix him again. There's still a lot of laughs and jokes like that, I mean the stuff with Ken hilarious. Some of the characters are were apparently sold by Andy, including Woody's girlfriend "Bo peep." She was from the first two films. And at the end Andy gives away all the toys to a 5 year old named "Bonnie", who goes to the day care centre. Woody was with her at some parts in this movie and he thought that Andy should give him and his other toys to her. So just before Andy left Woody got a marker and wrote down on a sticky note saying that he should give them to Bonnie and he signed his moms name not his. Yeah just to clarify, none of the humans know that the toys are alive. A lot of people were crying at the end of this movie. I have to say this right away. A lot of kids were Andy's age when the first Toys story came out. So to watch themselves grow-up and to see the movies grow-up with them probably shows the development that the children and other audience have gone through. Maybe in the end that's Toy story's great secret. It knew just when to come out and it knew just when to stop. It reached the right age bracket and decided to grow-up with us. And for those like me who didn't grow-up the same age, maybe toy story brought them back to that age. Maybe they hit something that not only do we all remember, but we all hold something we all hold so precious and close to us. Whatever Toy story did, it did it well. So well that when people grow-up and have kids of their-own, Toy story is going to be one of the first things they're going to show them, and I know that Toy story is going to be around for generations and generations to come. It's a fantastic series of movie to be introduced to and it's a fantastic movie series to look back on.
