What I Watched -- Toy Story 3

As usual, the category of Best Animated Feature at the Oscars is going to be Pixar's to lose. How do they always do such a good job?

Since this is a trilogy, a little background: the first Toy Story was the reconciliation of Andy's favorite toy cowboy Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) and his toy box mates with Andy's cool new birthday toy Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen). And let's not forget the battle with the evil neighbor boy Sid (voiced by Eric Von Detten, who played the crush object of Anne Hathaway, co-host of this years Oscars, way back in The Princess Diaries). Toy Story 2 sees the crew gain more friends, including Jessie (Joan Cousack), Slink, and Bullseye, the horse who acts like a dog. In that one, Woody is kidnapped by a toy collector and needs rescuing.

In this latest version, Andy is all grown up and going off to college, and the fate of his favorite toys hangs in the balance!

Bottom line: totally worth seeing.
