First thought: just what was I expecting? It's Toy Story, after all. Anyway, this is the time when Andy grows up and the toys have to find a new home. The attic, someone's childcare center, someone else's home, the dumpster...you get the idea. Them old toys gota go somewhere.
Unfortunately, I think the story lost a lot of its drama when it was made known early on that Andy did not intend to throw the toys away. It would have done a lot better if the toys had a true story of woe, only to learn later that they were not junk. But then again, that's my personal bent.
Now, the premise is similar...toys go on an adventure, everything resets in the end. Only this time they have a new owner, since Andy's now off to college. I guess this is something I cannot really relate to, since I never really had those sorts of toys when I was a kid, and I certainly never imagined that my toys were anything else but toys.
While most other people can and do appreciate this particular installment of the series, all I can give this one would be 7.5/10. Primarily due to the touching scenes that dot the story. I still prefer How To Train Your Dragon.
