In so many ways,
Toy Story 3 is a nostalgia film. It’s been 15 years since the original flick trampolined Pixar to the forefront of modern animation, and 11 since the sequel championed the cause. It’s a franchise about childhood, about magic and imagination, and in this third installment, the sentimentality those things take on as we transition away from our youth. So while nostalgic sentiment isn’t the ONLY thing driving this latest rendition, it is the primary tool, the entertainment game plan, and really the deciding factor in your ultimate reaction to it.
