I LOVE SO MUCH ABOUT THE THINGS THAT THIS COMMENT CHOOSES TO BE!
1. It really was, wasn't it?! I watched it and loved it, then got worried that many people wouldn't enjoy it as much. So brilliant, though.
2. I was surprised he didn't change, but then I was really pleased, because that really does suit the tone of this movie - I mean, it's still Disney and it's still about toys, but it was darker and it deserved the irredeemable!villain. I do wish something worse happened to him, though. (even though I laughed.)
3. YES BONNIE! Kind of like the older version of the kid from Monster's Inc., but even cuter. And she was so endearing and she played with toys a lot and she made vrooming noises! I wish more kids were like her. She was deserved to inherit Andy's toys.
4. I don't have a lot of stuff? But I have a lot of tiny things. :P And a lot of books. That collection will probably only really start expanding when I live on my own. And exactly - I just kept thinking about all the things I've thrown away and felt miserable.
6. THAT'S EXACTLY IT. (Stop saying things better than I do!) I feel like Pixar uses the animation basically to maximize how their imagination can be used, and to overcome implausibilities of every story (talking animals/toys, flying houses) - the stories they tell are still essentially truthful and heartfelt, which I really, really love. I think it's key to why their movies are so genuine. Dragons did get that right.
7. That tag-teaming made me really stupidly happy, and I'm even happier now that I realise it was in the credits, because yay for Pixar not bashing messages into our heads! Aah. And I love Andy moving on and also not being afraid to look back on things. (Andy's a good kid.)
8. They're so good about being genius about the little things, it's just wonderful. I genuinely feel like I could pause every couple of frames and find something else to be delighted by. Dreamworks gets overly clever about its jokes, but Pixar is just right.
9. Nope, no explanation. I like the idea that these toys started disappearing/"dying" before we got to them, like the toys that are left have had to mature and get used to things just like other people do, growing up. (It's entirely possible I'm reading too much into this.)
10. My friend's brother complained to me that the 3D was useless and I felt sad because things flying into your face isn't the point!! I've read it does give it some depth, though, which I'm happy about. I would like more 3D things to be approached this way.
11. I didn't get it, but I watched a preview a couple of weeks back, and THAT WAS MY REACTION! I read some pre-production notes about how they wanted to get the romance over with in the first third of the movie so they could focus on Rapunzel and her weird, twisted mother (or stepmother), which is such a cool concept, but I'm disappointed because they seemed to have ditched that completely. :/ And now it's slapstick too, which is, ugh, can we try to be a bit darker, please? Pixar did it, right?! Damn it, Disney.
