Toy Story 3-D: Double Feature


During Thanksgiving weekend 1995 a little company named Pixar released a computer animated film called "Toy Story" starring Tim Allen and Tom Hanks. This became a mega-hit with the public and especially critics. It has also spawned 2 sequels, one of which is releasing next year. A spin-off TV show based on Buzz Lightyear has been released as well as Disneyland rides. I also saw a Disney production called "Toy Story on Ice" over 10 years ago.

This release is the same exact as the original movie, except for the fact that it is 3-D. Unlike movies such as Spy Kids 3-D, this flick does not really make the screen's motions pop out and "get you" but just add more volume to the film and make you feel like you are there. The 3-D trailers for Zemicks'"A Christmas Carol" "Toy Story 3" and Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" both used effects to make it look like it sticks out of the screen, but I am sure that it will not be used too much in the actual film. A new thing for Disney films is that 3-D glasses are not made with a red and a blue lens but with polarized lenses(seen in poster above, except it has 2 lenses, not 3.)

The film's basic plot involves toys that come to life when humans are not around. A cowboy doll named Woody is his human owner Andy's favorite toy but when Andy gets a popular new toy called the Buzz Lightyear, Woody starts to get jealous as he gets replaced. If you have not seen this film yet, I highly recommend it. It is a classic that is not directly morally wrong, or has any sort of bad humor, or questionable content.

This film is released into theaters for a short time and also features both Toy Story 1 and 2 with a 10 minute intermission between the films for the price of one ticket.

Note: I only saw the first movie in 3-D but I have seen the second one in theaters when it was released the first time, and it is a really good movie for being a sequel.
