Movie Review: Toy Story 3

This review is filled with spoilers. If you haven't seen it yet, and are spoiler-averse, avert your eyes immediately. And now, four things of note:
  • Since I am always compelled to do Marxist critiques of these movies (I can't help it--I'm trained that way), I kind of loved how the movie started out with Woody as the voice of nationalism/patriotism, while the Sunnyside Yay! crew seemed to be advocating some sort of global, work-based economy. LOL.
  • Mr Potato Head on a tortilla was the most horrifying thing I have seen in quite a while.
  • If Our Heroes had gone into that fiery pit of hell, we would face a generation of children who would NEVER THROW TOYS AWAY EVER AGAIN. For real. I mean, we already hover on the edge, and the whole donation thing probably won't fly very well any more, either.
  • THAT LAST SCENE WITH ANDY AND BONNIE. HOW DID THEY. WHY DID THEY. AND THEN HE CLUTCHED WOODY TO HIS CHEST. AND THEN PLAYED ALL MORNING. WITH A TODDLER. ANDY DAVIS HOW DID YOU DO THAT TO ME?
