Re: You know what? F you, Pixar

I didn't really tear up for T3 but TS3 had me at the trailer of Andy going off to college. Now T2 had me a bit sad when the T self destructed himself!

Emotions. You guys got 'em.

My wife didn't tear up, but then she's been with my cold blooded azz too long probably.

I also liked the Dragon movie better. But then animals are my soft spot.

Glory, now that movie had me choking it back.

Re: You know what? %&$*, Pixar

Yea i teared up but was in the 6th row so i had to look up and kept em in. Opening weekend, nothin but early 20s in the theater and we all had the same reaction. Every person i know who grew up with these movies admitted to choking up. Wow am i doing it now while typing this??? Darn. Hahahahaha

TS3...I was able to meet the director, Lee Unkrich, on a recent Disney cruise. He was spending Spring Break with his family and Disney got him to do a couple one hour programs on how the movie was made, etc. He brought a bunch of clips, behind the scenes stuff, some stuff never seen before. It was very cool.

He even brought his Oscar to show everybody.

I can't think of another company that I'd rather work for (if I had any artistic talent at all! ) Those guys really seem to love their jobs and have a ton of fun.

BTW, the end of Finding Nemo had me balling like a baby too...

Re: You know what? F you, Pixar

I don't think I have ever cried during a movie before seeing Toy Story 3, I had a feeling it was going to be sad so luckily I watched it alone.

The little girl at the end of Toy Story 3 who gets all of the toys was originally intended to be Boo from Monsters Inc. I think she still might be - I need to watch it again and look for the clues in her room.

Boo was in Toy Story 3 but she wasn't Bonny, she was a different girl at Sunny Side Day Care and was older.

Re: You know what? %&$*, Pixar

I was 5 when Toy Story came out. I'm 20 now, so the message TS3 conveys is very powerful for me.

I saw the movie at the midnight opening in Tampa. I was tearing up at the climax, along with my two younger brothers. I couldn't believe they were doing this to Woody, Buzz and the gang. And when Andy was handing Woody to Bonny, I totally lost it.

I can't watch the movie now on DVD because I know I'll lose it again.

I'm 21 and I am in the same boat. Its not too often I admit my age on here, but I really feel like I grew up with these characters. When I was young(er) I had a tendency to grow attached to fictional characters like they were real people, and those bonds have stuck with me to this day.

So to say the least, when I saw Toy Story 3 in theaters, I bawled like a baby. And so did all my friends I went with. Luckily my girlfriend thinks its cute that I am "emotional."

Re: You know what? %&$*, Pixar

I think everyone in that theater had dust in there eyes or something, me too. The kiddies were all looking at the adults funny.

Re: You know what? F you, Pixar

Oh, I know. As human and authentic a moment as you can ask for in film. Why aren't all movies this good? Did Pixar just take all the talent, leaving the rest of Hollywood to pay homeless men expired crack to churn out Transformers sequels?

That's the quality of work you get when you DON'T have to execute studio notes handed down by the suits. Seriously, how many times have you heard "The Book was wayyyy better."? Well, most of the time this is the same when it comes to earlier drafts of screenplays. Hollywood is not short on talent, it's just overrun with "yes men" - who will gladly turn brilliant work into average trash because the studio is too afraid to do anything that haven't already done a million times over.

Now, back to Toy Story - i remember reading in an interview with Lasseter explaining Woody's tireless dedication to Andy, even when the other toys want to move on -

Woody belonged to Andy's father when he was little. When Andy's father died, he left the little cowboy to Andy with a note that said "He'll always be there for you and will never give up - you have a friend in him." Woody is supposed to REPRESENT Andy's dad in spirit. It was only fitting he was there to see Andy grow up and leave for college - his job was done.

How do you know that's her?

 

[cayman shen]

Yeah, they don't really look alike to me...

 

[SmilingOtter]

Re: You know what? F you, Pixar

That's her.

 

[dualedge]

Re: You know what? F you, Pixar

That's her.

I definitely see the similarity. I wouldn't have recognized her without the side-by-side comparison but it looks like her to me - just changed to look a bit older. I really like it when they do that. Isn't there a Nemo toy or something in the little girl's room in Monsters, Inc.?

Re: You know what? %&$*, Pixar

Actually I misinterpreted great1's pic - I thought I thought the pic on the left was also from TS3...

:$
:lol

Still and all, they do seem to have the same eyes and hair color.

Re: You know what? %&$*, Pixar

Note that the possible older Boo is playing with a blue and purple striped cat. She did always call Sulley "kitty"...

Re: You know what? F you, Pixar

a few comments on UP , i've not seen it yet. how does it rate?

-z

Up and WALL-E are my favorite Pixar movies, although Up may edge out the latter. I'm from Berkeley, Ca, next door to Emeryville where Pixar is located. The Pixar movies have a lot of nods to local landmarks. The end of the Incredibles looks a lot like downtown Oakland near Lake Merrit. The skyline in WALL-E looks a lot like San Francisco.

The house in Up looks a lot like the houses in my hometown. In fact, rumor has it, that this house was an inspiration:

Fenton's is also a real ice cream parlor in Oakland, of which I have many fond memories. There's also a house in Oakland by Children's hospital which refused to sell to the developers so they built around it, just like the movie.

But anyways, Up is really great. The first part is a bit of a tear jerker. But it's as good, if not better, than any other Pixar flick.

Re: You know what? F you, Pixar

You want to talk about trouble " holding it in " try
watching the NEW Yogi Bear flick..

:lol :lol :lol :lol

Yeah, but we're talking about holding back tears, not stomach contents.

Back to the topic, I finally saw Toy Story 3 a couple of weeks ago; I was watching it alone, and felt like an idiot for getting emotional during the final scenes. Glad to hear I wasn't the only one.

But then, I seem to have gotten more "emotional" as I grew older. A couple of weeks ago my wife wanted me to watch that viral video of the cat trying to rouse it's dead friend, and I couldn't get through 10 seconds of it before I had to stop. If that means I lose points from my "Guy Card", so be it; I'm an animal lover, and that broke my heart.

 

[EvilRocketeer]

Even though I loved Toy Story 3, it was just an updated version of The Brave Little Toaster.....the plot and storyline are almost the same....they had wayyyyyyyyy to many similarities for my liking......

 

[Lutso]

Gee thanks Evil, now I'll never be able to watch Toy Story 3 again without thinking that.

 

[asemblyrequired]

I liked it much as I did the first two. I was happy to see it end on a happy note. I thought they would churn #4,5 ,6 just for the popularity of it. They where all great and classics for everyone for years to come.
