my rating: One Totoro in a herd of Winnie the Poohs.

what possessed me: Pixar made another movie.

what i learned: This new outing for Woody and Buzz is pretty much everything I expected from a Toy Story flick. The humor is often as creepy as it is funny, especially when it involves Ken and Barbie. Despite the announcement of Cars 2, I’m glad Pixar hasn’t lost its touch. While I was told several times over that this was going to be a tearjerker, I didn’t find it any more sentimental than the other two, but the action was surprisingly grand in scale. Oh, and I’m conflicted about the necessity of Lego Toy Story toys. Okay, not really. They’re awesome.

tangential thought: My most memorable toy loss was when I was playing at my mom’s old gallery and put a M.A.S.K. figure in the electrical panel, only to have him fall backwards and irretrievably down into the wall. I would later steal that same figure from my friend Casey Heinz. I was not a good kid, and I will atone for my past in hell.
