Smash cut to the summer of 2010, and after seeing PLENTY of trailers and promotion leading up to the movie’s release, Toy Story 3 was FINALLY HERE! Even at 11 years old, I could NOT believe that a 3rd Toy Story film was ACTUALLY HAPPENING! Toy Story 3 was probably one of the first movies I EVER got to watch in theaters TWICE (once with my family, and a 2nd time with a summer camp group), and having seen Toy Story 3 MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT since getting it on Blu-Ray not too long after, I think I’d even go as far as to say that Toy Story 3 might just be my personal TOP favorite Disney film of ALL TIME. Whenever the road in life looked rough ahead (and I was miles and miles from my nice warm bed), I just remembered what my old pal Woody said back in 1999 (only 7 months after I was born): “Besides, when it all ends, I’ll have old Buzz Lightyear to keep me company, for INFINITY and BEYOND.” I think it’s MORE THAN OBVIOUS at this point that I absolutely LOVED the first 2 Toy Story films TO PIECES growing up, and just like every other passionate Toy Story fan out there, the entire Toy Story series has ALWAYS held a special place in my heart, for INFINITY and BEYOND. Funny enough, that was OUR compromise for NOT being able to afford any high quality Toy Story toys at the time, but again, between the ages of 6-11, THIS was how much I ABSOLUTELY LOVED Toy Story. As a result of this, I think I’ve rewatched the original Toy Story movie WAY MORE TIMES than I’ve ever seen ANY OTHER MOVIE in my life! Overtime, I even got my hands on a simple blue Buzz Lightyear action figure, a Toy Story Monopoly Junior board game (BOTH of which I sadly ended up LOSING somehow), a nice set of mini figures from the original Toy Story movie (that include some of Sid’s mutant toys), AND an old copy of the Toy Story Activity Center PC game (released in 1996), which consisted of 8 really simple minigames that somehow ALWAYS kept me and my younger sister entertained (especially Rex’s Marble Art and the Mutant Toy Creation minigames). In fact, I LOVED rewatching Toy Story 2 SO MUCH that ALL the scuffs and scratches on my old Toy Story 2 DVD (as a result of me “handling it too much, that it wasn’t gonna last”) fully prove it. Between the ages of 6-11, Toy Story and Toy Story 2 quickly became 2 of my most rewatched movies of all time, what with me CONSTANTLY watching the original Toy Story movie with the 10th Anniversary Edition DVD, and Toy Story 2 STILL being my personal favorite Toy Story film in the series, with Jessie in particular having ALWAYS been my TOP FAVORITE Toy Story character.
