Toy Story 3
U, Nationwide

The third and final film in a franchise isn’t usually up to much, but not so with Toy Story 3. It may even be cinema’s first must-see sequel to a sequel. It is wondrous and a delight and because those deliriously talented people at Pixar obviously love these characters to death, then so too do we. In fact, it’s the only press screening I’ve ever attended where everyone stayed right to the very end of the final credits, presumably because the characters were still chatting away in a frame to the side, and no one wanted to leave them behind; no one wanted to say that final goodbye to Woody or Buzz or Jessie or Slinky Dog or Mrs Potato Head, who, in the five years since the last movie, may have had work done on her nose.
