In the UK, we don't get this until July, but the word in the US is that it's getting great reviews. Anyone seen it? Iam not a big fan of Pixar, but they did well with Toy Story 2 so I have faith in them.

As for the new Shrek movie LOL. Number 3 was awful. Justin Timberlake LOL. Why was he in it? He wasn't even the main problem mind....but number 4 looks awful as well.

Toy story, IMO, is the one trilogy that gets progressively better.

It's been years since I've seen the first 2, but I remember them being really good.

Its good.

Go see it in 3D

I loved it!! I thought it was better than the first two.

My sister called to ask if I want to see it this weekend.

It was great, we loved it.

...but Big Baby bothered me a bit.

That big motherfucker was creepy.

She was and without giving anything away, the way Lotso treated her and her reactions bothered me.

At first I was freaked out by the baby, and later I felt sorry for her. I love bears but Lotso wouldn't get any love from me.

Ok, who wants to fess up to shedding tears during the movie? The last five minutes touched me alot. Tears streamed down my face, but when the credits came up, I made sure to clean up quick so my four-year old god-niece wouldn't ask "what's wrong auntie"?

I agree with FauxReal that this trilogy got progressively better. I will definitely buy it. They better release it as a 3-pack. Now, can they work on an Incredibles sequel?

I was teary eyed, too.

then it must be bloody great cuz the first two were fucking masterpieces!!

What I loved about the Toy Story movies were the fact it reminded me of my childhood toys LOL and the games I use to play with them alone and with my older siblings. Such a great concept for a kids film. Like in "Toy story 2" when the girl cowboy Jessie gets abandoned as the girl grows up. Its whimsical stuff, but its something we have all done to our cuddly toys....

I don't like the song much, but its a touching scene I feel.

I still have a few of my cuddly toys bytheway. Iam not ashamed LOL. They are ear bitten and have eyes missing, but a few are still in my bedroom

We saw it on an Imax 3D screen and it was visually stunning. The 3D effects are few and far between, but the CGI is top-notch. Story-wise, it's the best of the three in the series. My 7-year old daughter loved it and most adults should get a kick out of it.

I wouldn't suggest paying the Imax up-charge, though. Standard 3D or even 2D should be fine.

The audience I saw it with was cheering and clapping when it was over.

Same here.

I saw it at PIXAR as part of a fundraiser and it's probably their best movie yet.

The guy in charge of the 3D effects explained that this wasn't supposed to be that "in-your-face" 3D that we all know and love/abhor.This was supposed to be more subtle and creat greater depth of field which he accomplished with ease IMO.

It opened here in the States to the tune of 109million, Pixar's biggest opening weekend ever, beating Incredibles 75mill opener... that says alot right there... (my numbers may be off but hey, it's the org...)

The scene with Buzz had me in stitches...

Did they show the "Light & Dark" short film before TS3??? What did you guys think of that??

oops... my bad, that's what I meant... but wasn't that great!! Such a simple story with a great twist...

Great film...great short. A fitting end to the Toy Story series. I really want to see it again...

I must say, though, that Ratatouille is still my favorite Pixar film...

=0P

Toy Story 3 was GREAT !!!

Not interested in seeing Shrek though ...

I found this article interesting.

http://movies.yahoo.com/f...-eggs.html

"Toy Story 3" has entertained children and parents alike (and has made at least one childless, unmarried adult male in his thirties cry) to the tune of $110 million dollars in its opening weekend.

Chances are, considering the amount of money the film made over the weekend, that if you're reading this, there's a better than average chance you've seen the film. If you have, there are a few hidden "Easter eggs" (the cinematic term for meaningful images or references buried in a movie) worthy of a second look. Even if you haven't seen "Toy Story 3," it's worth reading on for some fun facts you can impress your friends with.

Slashfilm and ComingSoon.net have put together exhaustive lists of the Easter eggs hiding in "Toy Story 3," and the New Orleans Times-Picayune also did some digging and found a few pieces of trivia that bear repeating. Highlights of those lists include:

• "A113," the number of a classroom at CalTech where many Pixar animators studied, shows up as an Easter egg in every Pixar film. In the "Toy Story" series, it's the license plate on Andy's mother's car.

• Sid, the bully from the first movie who wears a skull T-shirt, appears as a garbage man in the new film wearing the same skull T-shirt.

• There's a postcard on Andy's dresser addressed from the featured characters from last year's "Up," Carl and Ellie Fredrickson.

• Lightning McQueen from "Cars" is referenced a few times throughout the film: A miniature toy car at the daycare center, on a child's shirt at the center and on a fictional train that shares McQueen's number, 95. That number is itself an Easter egg, referring to 1995, the year the first "Toy Story" was released.

• A calendar from Pizza Planet is clearly seen. Pizza Planet has appeared in every Pixar film except "The Incredibles."

• Pixar has a history of hiding a character to be featured in a later movie somewhere in a current film. Nemo first appeared in "Monsters, Inc." and "Toy Story 3" newcomer, Lots-o-Huggins Bear (who, ironically, is not very huggable), first appeared alongside a bed in "Up." A poster on Andy's wall shows a character from next year's "Cars 2." It shows Finn McMissile, a British sports car/secret agent who plays a major role in the sequel.

• Buzz Lightyear's batteries are from "Buy 'N' Large," the giant corporation responsible for ruining the planet in "WALL-E."

• Totoro, the furry, friendly creature from Hayao Miyazaki's Japanese animated classic "My Neighbor Totoro," shows up as a toy that Woody meets. Pixar founder John Lasseter has called Miyazaki an inspiration for his work, and Lasseter produced his most recent film, "Ponyo."

• A significant amount of the film takes place at a daycare center. At the daycare center, Mr. Ray the Scientific Stingray from "Finding Nemo" makes a cameo. Nemo himself appears as a sticker on Andy's toybox.

• "Toy Story 3" director Lee Unkrich performs one line in the movie, as the voice of the Jack in the Box character.

• The "Toy Story 3" screenplay took 2 1/2 years to write and storyboard.

• John Ratzenberger keeps his streak alive of appearing in every single Pixar film made to this point. For "Toy Story 3," he reprises his role as Hamm.

• Ken, voiced by Michael Keaton, was based on a 1988 version of him called "Animal Lovin' Ken" which included his "own chimpanzee to care for and love." Um, okay. The Barbie featured in the film is based on a 1983 version titled "Great Shape Barbie."

• Ken wears 21 different outfits in the movie.

• Woody has 229 animation points of movement in his face. Buzz has 215 animation avatars in his face.

• There are 302 characters in the film.
