First off, I absolutely loved this film. I thought it was brilliant. Seriously, its a great movie. I'm not saying that this is my favorite movie or that its on my top 10 list of all time favorites. Then again, it might be. Below are just a few reasons why I enjoyed this film.
1. Clever use of humor. The thing I enjoy the most about the Toy Story franchise (and Pixar for that matter) is that thier films have hilarious stuff in them. I really respect people who can tell clean jokes and use humor is a positive way. With all the dirty comedians who use the "F-word" like the word "the" and every other joke is about sex, its nice to laugh at something that is simply funny, and not degrading.
2. The Characters were bounded by love. A constant theme through the movie is family, brotherhood, and a sense that under no circumstances would they separate. They were in the adventure as a team, weak or strong, and they would live or die as a team.
3. There was a spiritual overtone throughout the film. The following is a quote from Donald Miller. "The Toys want to be reunited with their owner. Their owner loves them. Something has come between their owner and they are confused about whether their owner still loves them. It’s powerful stuff, and it’s relatable because it’s true."
I simply enjoyed a good movie that made me laugh, reflect a little bit on life, relate to the characters, and most importantly, it didn't make me cry!
