Ever Wondered What Toys Do When Nobody is Around?

The toys are back in town and their in Disney Digital 3D. Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were re-released as a double feature in 3D on October 2nd. I went and saw the movie over the Thanksgiving weekend because I think that Toy Story is one of the best Disney movies ever. I thought that it was still very good and was better in 3D. The movie was about 3 hours, which is not really that long considering that you are seeing two movies in the time that it takes to watch some other ones like Lord of the Rings. I think Woody and Buzz Lightyear are two of the greatest characters ever. I liked this movie because all of the different toys have different personalities and some of them do not match with what kind of toy they are. The main idea with the Toy Story movies is what do toys do when there are no people around, according to Toy Story they are alive and live their lives until their owner comes back and they pretend they are just plastic again. I thought that the movies were both great and I enjoyed watching them again.

In Toy Story it starts on Andy's birthday and all of his toys sit in his room eagerly awaiting to hear what he is getting for presents hoping that none of them are replaced. Once Andy get a new Buzz Lightyear action figure he starts to replace Woody as Andy's favorite toy. Buzz thinks that he is the real Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and does not realize that he is a toy. Woody starts to get jealous of how much Andy and all of the other toys like Buzz and he accidentally pushes Buzz out of the window. When Woody goes out to find him they both get left at a gas station. They finally made it to the Pizza Planet restaurant to find Andy but Buzz goes into a claw game because he thinks that it is a real space ship that will take him to Star Command. Woody goes in to get him and they both end up with the evil kid you lives next door to Andy, Sid. While in Sid's house Buzz saw a commercial for Buzz Lightyear action figures and he realizes that he is not a Space Ranger, but just a child's plaything. Sid's idea of playing with toys is either blowing them up are putting the pieces of one toy onto another. Sid gets a rocket that will blow Buzz up. Woody stages a rescue mission with all of Sid's toys to save Buzz and to get them back to Andy's house before he moves away the next morning. Woody saves Buzz and they almost get to the moving truck, but when Woody gets their first and tries to use RC, a remote control car, to go get Buzz Piggy, Rex and Mr. Potatohead throw Woody out of the truck because they think that he is trying to kill RC and Buzz. Buzz and Woody use RC and the rocket to shoot themselves down the street towards the truck and instead fly into the van so that Andy would see that he did not leave them behind. Toy Story definitely gets a 4.5 out of 5.

In Toy Story 2 Woody is stolen and Buzz sets out to find Woody with the help of Piggy, Rex, Mr. Potatohead, and Slinky. Woody was stolen by a toy collector who wants to sell the Woody Roundup gang to a museum in Japan. Woody meets three new toys at the collectors apartment. The new toys are all of the set that Woody belongs to their names are Jessie, Bullseye and Stinky Pete the Prospector. They all want to go to Japan because their owners had given them up and they did not think that they could love another kid the same, except the Prospector because he wanted to go because he had never been loved by a child. When the toys get to the toy store that they think Woody is in the find a newer version of Buzz Lightyear. This Buzz also thinks that he is a Space Ranger and is the real Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, he never figures it out. Eventually they find Woody and they go to the collectors apartment to save him but Woody has decided that he does not want to go because at the museum he will be loved by children forever. The rest of Andy's toys get back to the elevator and are stopped by the nemesis so Buzz Lightyear, the evil Emperor Zurg. Zurg and the new Buzz get into a death match and it is revealed the the new Buzz is the son of Zurg, exactly the same as the scene from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back in Cloud City when Darth Vader tells Luke Skywalker "Luke, I am your father." Once Woody comes to his senses and convinces Jessie and Bullseye to go with him back to Andy's House the other toys use a Pizza Planet delivery truck to get to the airport to rescue Woody. Buzz and the other toys fight with the Prospector until Woody and Bullseye are free, but Jessie is loaded onto the plane. Woody goes with Buzz to rescue Jessie from the plane and just before it takes off Woody and Jessie jump off the plane to Buzz and Bullseye. Toy Story 2 I think should get a 4 out of 5.


The Toy Story and Toy Story 2 Double Feature I thought was a good idea to release because on June 18, 2010 Toy Story 3 comes out and all of the little kids would never have seen the first two. The trailer for Toy Story 3 was also shown during this movie. Toy Story 3 will take place over the summer before Andy moves away to go to collage and Woody and Buzz have to figure out what they are going to do without him after all of the toys are given away to a PRESCHOOL! Obviously none of the toys want to go to a preschool because they get destroyed rather quickly and the have to figure out how to survive and breakout. One of the Best Disney movies is Toy Story and Toy Story 2 is right up there as well. Both movies were re-done in Disney Digital 3D so that the whole thing had depth so it was more realistic instead of the background being out of focus the fore ground was just closer to the audience than the back ground. With the 3D it the animation did not look 2D, it had depth and everything was more solid and you could tell the order of the layers of the animation. The Toy Story movies were some of my favorite movies when I was a little kid and they are still one of my favorite movies now. The Toy Story and Toy Story 2 Double Feature I think would get a rating of 4.5 out of 5.

This is the Trailer for the Double Feature from YouTube
