The toys find themselves at a day-care facility after their rightful owner goes away to college. All seems fine at first, but there are issues abound as our heroes get settled into their new lives. A bit darker entry in the vastly popular series still delivers in the end as we have top-of-the-line animation mixed with superior story-telling, focused direction, and amazingly humanistic characters who seem like complex caricatures of their voiced alter egos. Pixar's original "Toy Story" continues to be the high watermark not only for animated features, but for most all films produced and in the end "Toy Story 3" meets and exceeds all requirements necessary to stand next to its original inspiration. Excellence once again. 5 stars out of 5.
