Two words: THE CLAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! (I shrieked. And then I applauded like a crazy person.)
Loved it.
Loved it loved it loved it.
I think it's actually my favorite of the three.
This coming from someone who didn't really think a third movie was necessary! Mea culpa, Pixar. I should have trusted your brilliance.
But basically, it was one part prison escape caper, two parts Brave Little Toaster homage, and three parts concentrated Pixar awesome. I think I laughed at least twice as hard as any of the kids in the theater. (Chuckles the clown! Every scene Ken was in! Timothy Dalton as the classically-trained porcupine plushie! Bonnie! Barbie being really freaking awesome! Spanish Buzz's DANCING oh my god. DYING.)
And yep, I was definitely crying at the end. As someone who graduated recently, the themes hit me right in the heart. But it was a fantastic, perfect ending and I'd watch the movie again in a second.
Also, um. I think that Woody and Buzz and Jessie may be the writers' OT3. I can't bring myself to ship it (mostly because, well, they're toys), but I'm glad the love triangle was so epically averted.
All in all, it was definitely a love story to our generation, the people who were kids when the first Toy Story came out. And it was a nice reminder that even though we're growing up, we'll never grow out of their movies.
And now I want to have a Pixar marathon. ♥

I'm so, so glad they averted a love triangle between Woody, Buzz and Jessie! I generally have a thorough dislike for love triangles.
I've recently graduated too, so I think this movie will be a wonderful experience.
