Those lovable characters from the smash hit films Toy Story (1995) and Toy Story 2 (1999) have returned to the Pixar forefront in the highly anticipated Toy Story 3. Once again, we are reunited with the likes of the lanky cowboy, Woody (Tom Hanks), his intergalactic friend-in-need Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), as well as cowgirl Jessie (Joan Cusack), Rex the nebbish T-Rex (Wallace Shawn), Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head (Don Rickles/Estelle Harris), and many others. Coming in to the film, I have to admit I had my reservations: would the film live up to the standards that were set in the first two? The first Toy Story was an instant classic growing up as a kid, and the second one just reinforced my admiration for the franchise. “Part 3’s” have traditionally been terrible films, and with director John Lasseter not taking the helm this time, this installment had a lot of obstacles to overcome. So did it? Let’s find out.
