I know I’ve been critical of Toy Story 3 in previous posts, but this poster rocks. I’m starting to warm to the idea of a third Toy Story movie. I mean, it’s Pixar for crying out loud. They poop gold.
So I watched the new trailer for Toy Story 3 and I laughed and smiled and tipped my hat to Pixar. These guys can’t lose. But maybe that’s what’s wrong with this preview. I didn’t circle June 18, 2010 on my calendar and I’m not doing cartwheels and openly crapping my drawers over the prospect of seeing Buzz, Woody and Potato Head for a third time.
I suppose part of my reluctance to embrace Toy Story 3 is it seems so easy. With all the originality Pixar has churrned out in the last 15 years (only one sequel, Toy Story 2), returning to the talking toys just seems more of a cash cow than a presentation of Pixar’s storytelling skill and deft animation. I know, I know. I’m probably being bitter. Even my least favorite Pixar movies (Finding Nemo and Cars) are still loveable. Plus, giving Pixar the brown helmet is like shooting a puppy in the testicles with an Airsoft pellet gun, or drop kicking a bunny.
But please, tell me I’m not alone. Tell me I’m not the only one that feels kinda meh to the Toy Story 3 movie. Check out the trailer below and, as always, speak your mind.
By ANDY MORGAN There are very few movies I completely and utterly abhor. Generally, I can usually find something positive or likeable in a film, even if said cinema is receiving disgust and scorn en masse from most fall-in-line movie critics. I relish the truth that I don’t always see eye-to-eye with most critics and [...]
By ANDY MORGAN Making fun of Twilight fans and bemoaning Stephanie Meyer’s novels and the subsequent movies is almost as easy as drumming up sarcastic jabs about Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton or Miley Cyrus. There’s no effort required. It’s easy. And it’s also out of control. It’s almost as popular to dump on the vampire-werewolf [...]
By DAN VINTON If there’s one thing The Last Airbender does well, it proves any mystique surrounding M. Night Shaymalan is gone. With this coffin-bound nail, all residual goodwill The Sixth Sense director retained from followup successes like Unbreakable, Signs and even the creepy but fatally flawed The Village has been throttled by his is [...]
