Outstanding Pixar animation hits their mark again! This movie was amazing in every sense of the word. It was sweet and touching and adorable all at the same time.
Andy is now seventeen years old and all ready to leave his home and move forward with his life and go off to college. His mother insists that he needs to go through all of his old things including all of his old toys and decide which ones he wants to keep and which ones he can discard.
The story belongs to the toys as they go through the agony of being discarded and replaced. Their only wish is that Andy will decide to keep them around as they cannot tolerate the thought of being abandoned by him! Their greatest wish is for Andy to never grow old and want to play with them forever. Andy must move on and eventually he has to make the ultimate decision of who will stay and who will go.
I found this heart wrenching and very emotional. With three children of my own I could totally relate to the story. There were parts that were somewhat scary when the toys were mistakenly put out as trash by Andy's mom. They made it all the way to the dump where they were put on a conveyor belt and nearly incinerated!
Eventually Andy made the ultimate decision after Woody wrote a note and persuaded Andy to donate the toys to a little girl named Bonnie. It was very emotional and really struck a cord with all of the people in the audience.
