Toy Story 3 (DVD)

Toy Story 3 (2010) with the voices of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, John Ratzenberger, Don Rickles, Wallace Shawn, Ned Beatty. The toys, led by cowboy Woody (Hanks), must cope with their owner Andy's departure for college. Although Andy intends to put them in the attic, they end up getting donated to a nearby daycare center, where the kids play with them rather roughly. The toy-world of the daycare center is ruled over by an evil plush bear named Lotso (Beatty), and things look grim for Andy's toys until Woody comes up with a plan for them to escape and go home. Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of animated films, but "Toy Story 3" was a shining exception. Pixar has really made an art of animation. It's entertaining for both adults and kids, with many clever jokes and a lot of heart. The subtitles are good, too. Grade: A-
