Toy Story 3 (2010)

Toy Story 3 arrived eleven years after the second instalment, at a point when Pixar had arguably never been more culturally dominant, with Wall-E and Up both landing in the three years prior. Lee Unkrich, who had co-directed Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo, stepped up to sole director here for the first time, working from a script developed after Disney briefly tried to produce a Toy Story 3 themselves through their Circle 7 animation unit (a project that was scrapped when Disney acquired Pixar in 2006). Made on a $200 million budget, it became one of the highest-grossing animated films ever made, earning over a billion dollars worldwide, and was the first animated sequel to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

The worst of the Toy Story films. I love the passing of the torch from Andy to Bonnie. I love that Andy has grown up with us. People seem to love this one, ending included. I just think there's alot missing. The villains just don't feel that well written.
