Toy Story 3

When a movie first comes out, its a hit!! The producers make a fortune and a half sometimes!! Kids, parents and elderly pile into the theaters to see what the newest movie is all about!

AND THEN....

Producers decide that the next thing needed is a SECOND MOVIE!! Its great!! The second is pretty much as great as the first...not as funny...but decent. The theaters are pretty full, but not as full as the first time around. Producers make a fortune, but they didn't hit the jackpot this time. Dedicated kids, parents and elderly come to the theaters. Mostly the dedicated ones who LOVED the 'first edition'. The kind of people who bought all the toys, shirts and any other kind of souvenir available from the "BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!"

PROCEEDINGLY...

The original producers are LONG GONE and new ones figure "The third's a charm!"...but rarely is this true!! The third movie is usually a DUD! Because of the original story maker's lack of involvement, the emotional attachment is gone. The charming characters have become OLD NEWS...new ones try to encounter the plot line, but its nearly IMPOSSIBLE to fit the over sized shoes. These new creators are here for the money. The theaters are not near as full as the first time around. Those dedicated fans now bring their kids and kids' kids to see the movie that once was so popular in their day! But it's terrible! Although the addicts are LOVING it, the other spectators are lost. They have missed the first 2 movies and don't quite get where the plot is headed.

BUT...

Toy Story 3 ... now... that has changed this perspective. The producers KNEW the adventures of Woody and Buzz and their friends. They SAW these classic characters grow and change through their original appearances. They had seen small Andy grow up into a high school graduate and now going off to collage...

You see, these producers had it right. They knew that every single person out there has had that special toy. The "One and Only" of their childhood. They knew and they even experienced it themselves. They had accomplished that heartwarming childhood play - with that special toy that meant more than the whole entire world. They owned that toy which they carried with them every moment of their first 5 years. Those producers were also familiar with the stages of forgetting about that toy... the same way that Andy forgot about Woody and Buzz, Jessie and Bullseye, Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head...

We all knew the adventures traveled by the courageous friends, and started to become emotionally attached to them like they were our own toys. But time keeps going and those things that were important start slipping from our memory... and it becomes time for us, like Andy, to move along - remembering the good times and striving for what's to come.

ANDY: Now Woody, he’s been my pal for as long as I can remember. He’s brave, like a cowboy should be, and kind and smart. But the thing that makes Woody special is he’ll never give up on you…ever. He’ll be there for you, no matter what.
