One reason to be grateful that Toy Story has gone 3-D: those glasses will keep your kids from seeing you cry. The third movie might be too scary and not as good as the second one-there is an escape from a day-care center that's as stale as Ocean's Thirteen-but it redeems itself with its bittersweet ending. You can't really blame Pixar for all this, especially because Toy Story now stands as the best trilogy to come out of Hollywood since Star Wars. Even Sesame Street lost its wholesome glow with Broadway's Avenue Q. Brett Ratner recently talked about directing a live-action Snow White with a dragon and robbers. More cases in point: The most successful film of 2010 is Tim Burton's very bloody take on Alice in Wonderland.
You have to wonder if adults have hijacked kids' movies to the point of making them too grown-up for children (e.g., Where the Wild Things Are, with a side order of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs).

The 1999 sequel, about a toy collector who kidnaps Woody, was even better with its sly pop-culture references. Incinerators are a kind of furnace where trash and garbage burn. The original Toy Story-co-written by Joss Whedon in his pre– Buffy the Vampire Slayer days-was constructed like a buddy action movie and sprinkled with dialogue that worked on different levels. Animated movies now have a dry Seinfeld-ian wit, more Friends than Snoopy and friends. The best Disney films ( Pinocchio, Bambi, The Lion King) have always played on the heartstrings of all ages, but Toy Story changed the script. The moment unfurls not just as an ode to the passage of childhood but also as a meditation on grown-up mortality.Īnd then there's the meta-theme: the fact that Toy Story itself rendered a particular brand of children's entertainment extinct. Your kids won't be the only ones tempted to cover their eyes.
