This is the film, it's said, to make grown men cry. Having seen Toy Story 3 at the Picturehouse last night, I can testify to that.
By the end, I was all mush.
The plot's standard Disney fare, and actually not at all dissimilar to the original movie. But, like its recent Pixar brethren, Up, the tale contains moments of almost heartbreaking melancholy. (Plus, the premise - heading faraway to college and leaving old friends behind - has more than passing resonance for me right now.)
Kids films are getting markedly more serious. No bad thing, since it means we soppy adults - this blogger included - can watch them without shame or embarrassment!
