Why Toy Story 3 Is A Perfect Sequel

I love toy story 3, my favorite toy story film to date.

Every time me and my friends talk about the Toy Story franchise, one of us always at least brings up how Toy Story 3 is the most satisfying and perfect conclusion to the series as a whole.

I like to believe TS4 is a non canonical nightmare Woody has during the events of TS2.

I want to live in an alternate dimension where Toy Story is just a trilogy, no live-action remakes and films like Atlantis and Treasure Planet were both box office successes.

As I said in the last Toy Story video, Toy Story 3 is a perfect ending, The Toys moving on from Andy and getting a new owner as Andy grows up into College and moves on to form his own future, the ending was so emotional and sad but also wholesome and sweet, and then They made a Toy Story 4 who as a movie, it's well-made, but as a Sequel it's kinda disspointing and Toy Story 5 is just pushing it

Toy Story 3 really was the perfect finally to the Toy Story franchise. It was able to convey so many meanings and it when Woody said. "So long.... Partner." It really felt like it was the end of a story, but the start of a new one. This film makes you feel all kinds of emotions and teaches the inevitability of change. A masterpiece, in my opinion.

The scene of Andy giving away his toys to Bonnie is one of the most beautiful, moving, heart warming and yet heartbreaking scenes in any movie.

It’s beautifully built up to given everything we’ve experienced with both Andy and the toys. You know that Andy still loves all of them but you also are met with the sad reality that the two can’t be together anymore and it’s time to move on. It’s a sad reality of growing up that we all have to face but it doesn’t mean that the childlike play is gone forever. As Andy goes through each toy and ends with Woody, it feels incredibly moving and touching that despite the fact that Andy is grown up, he still loves and cherished each toy. Combine that with his thanking them and Woody’s so long partner and the final shot of the film to the sky where the clouds are shaped like the wallpaper in the first movie…absolutely fucking incredible.

It is one of the saddest scenes in any movie and it makes me sob buckets EVERY time I watch this film. And in 2010, this was the best way to end the franchise on a high note and it still is. This SHOULD have been it.

And OF COURSE Disney and Pixar ruin this beautiful and moving scene for money because OF COURSE they did.

Toy Story 3 was always my most favorite movie of the bunch and it’s the first one I ever watched growing up and introduced me to the franchise, It’s one of my most favorite Pixar films.

Even though there’s Toy Story 4 movie, I will not acknowledge it as a part of the entire Toy Story movie series. Toy Story 3 will always be in my heart my favorite Toy story movie and the perfect ending movie for the series.

I dont like to forget about any of my toys. Its just being an adult means theres just no time 😢

[Lucid_PZPL]

I’ve never really understood the people who think this is the weakest of the first 3 movies. Personally I think it’s the best one out of all 4 movies

I know a lot of people became emotional during the incinerator scene, but I never have. The first time I watched the movie, I cynically knew Disney wouldn't murder beloved characters, even in a Pixar film, so I just sat there waiting for the deus ex machina to appear. But that doesn't mean I don't recognize the thematic intention of accepting one's fate and choosing to stick together, facing death with acceptance because you have each other. It truly was a poignant moment that any sequels will continually undermine.

[batmanvsjoker]

I've never realized the amount of foreshadowing that was in the opening scene until now

[wafagdplqs]

The ending of the movie made me cry all the tears of my body so many times and even till this day I feel emotional when watching it.

[hunterolaughlin]

While I don’t hate Toy Story 4, my biggest issue I do have with the film is that it does make the incinerator climax less emotionally intense and impactful. Watching TS3 for the first time in theaters, that moment was really intense and horrifying because you really felt like the toys we’ve grown attached to over 2 films were in a situation which presented no other ways of escape and when they come together, hold hands and close their eyes, accepting their approaching deaths, you really felt like it there was the possibility it could be the end for them. Making the moment where the LGM save them at the last moment all the more satisfying and a great source of relief. Now with a 4th film in existence, the scene looses that sense of intensity and inevitable doom because now first time viewers marathoning the films know with the knowledge of the 4th film, they’ll survive.

Kinda ironic that TS3 treated Barbie and Ken wayyyy better than the Barbie movie itself.
lol

[theodoro]

This movie was so good, after seeing it in the theater, as soon as it came on DVD we'd rewatch it over and over

[fizzyo.]

The ending of Toy Story 3 is one of the most emotional Pixar scenes obv

[jamesmoyner]

A perfect finale that had nothing else come after it!

[lsv]

"So long... partner."
That moment is when he's finally let go of Andy. He finally moved on from his past and found a new owner in Bonnie. He'll always treasure the memories he made with Andy, but he won't let nostalgia hold him back from finding peace in a new owner. He's matured from TS1, where he nearly became a villain.

Toy Story 3 is my favorite movie of all time. I grew up watching this franchise and this was a perfect ending. I know many don’t like that we are getting a 5th one but I’m okay with it. Pixar usually always succeeds with their story telling and Toy Story 4 wasn’t that bad
