Toy Story 3


This is the last instalment, so far, in Pixar’s great success in exploring mortality and the path to adulthood. Toy story 3 explores a complicated relationship whereby children and toys rely on each other; toys need to played with and the toys need to be there for their owners. As with the first two films, there is also the exploration of what befalls a toy that decides that they’re more important or that they’ve been rejected, so they become malcontent with life in general.
As with most Pixar films there is a genuinely touching scene. In this film it’s about death and the way it’s dealt with is quite noble really. We see as well, that what the toys after is security, just like children, and a stress free environment. The joy here though is the way in which the realisation for development comes and that we must move on and put aside childish things.
