Great movie! I forgot what the original story and part 2 were all about, but now I remember, it's about the life story of toys who belonged to a small boy, Andy. And in 3, Andy is 17 and going to college and this is now the story of his toys who are feeling their loss, vulnerability, who are concerned about their future, even facing their own "mortality".
A work of art! A stroke of genius!
Who wrote Toy Story? Watching the movie, you'd think the toys wrote their own life story 'cause who even knew they were "alive", that they "breathed"??
Of course, people, human beings, not toys, wrote the story. But I thought it had to be a child, cause only a child has the purity, the innocence and the imagination to make up a story like that. But not even Andy knew his toys were real!
Of course, it was real people who did the whole story and film. And with all the modern-day animation, special effects, technology, it's got to be adult people who have the experience, the expertise, to have done this! But they weren't just adults, not just geniuses, but people who, at their age, still have that "child" in them.
How wonderful it is to possess that quality, that virtue of childlikeness, at our age, in this age! We must never lose it as it is that which gives us joy and love and passion for life, that which brings out wholeness and purity of life in each of us, the very essence of life!
Yes, a work of art, live in 3D, a stroke of genius, of childlike genius! Beautiful!
