(image courtesy of OhNoTheyDidn't via livejournal.com)It is no secret that I love Pixar's animated movies. Finding Nemo ranks among one of my all-time favorites (who doesn't tear up at the part where Nemo finally finds his dad?). I thought Wall-E was done so beautifully artsy for a children's movie. Above all, however, I love Toy Story. Maybe it's because as a little girl, I always wondered if all my toys had a party when I was gone at school (I had a wild imagination, what can I say?). I recently re-watched the original Toy Story with my boyfriend a month ago and fell in love with it again. The character development of Toy Story goes beyond that of many cinematic masterpieces. Don't believe me? Example. I relate more to Rex in Andy's toy box than to any character in Lost in Translation. True story.
So, imagine my excitement when I saw in this OhNoTheyDidn't post that Toy Story 3 is slated for a June 2010 release. I might be 24 years old on opening night, but believe me when I say that I will be there and just as excited as the 9 year old M was when the first Toy Story came out. Maybe this time I can take my Mom and Dad out for a family night out. Talk about a role reversal. I wonder if my Dad will still pay for the popcorn...
