How on Earth did Plastic Make me Cry?

It is now 1:42 in the morning as I type this, but I'm texting friends and I think I should write this before I go off to bed.

Toy Story 3

Yes, I'm fully aware that the movie came out ages ago. I just barely got around to seeing it. I was mostly apprehensive about going because I didn't know how much I would care for the characters after eleven years of separation. And, honestly, most people I know that have seen it said that they cried. I hate crying in public, because I'm an ugly crier. Like...My face wrinkles up and my chin muscles behave in an odd way.

Needless to say, it's not pretty.

However, a trip that my mother has planned has her wanting to do things with me before she leaves, so we decided to adventure off to see Toy Story. To my great joy, there was pretty much no one in the theater. This was mostly because everyone had probably seen it already and were probably two viewing rooms over watching The Last Airbender.

Never have I been so happy that M. Night made a movie.

Anyway, I was amazed at how beautiful the story was. Honestly, I've chalked up Pixar and their subsequent owner, Disney, as an evil monopoly that just wants my money through their movies and merchandise that I MUST have. This movie, though (Along with the animated Princess and the Frog) has really changed my mind about the companies. I'm sure they really are bloodsuckers on the inside (probably with some relation to the dreaded Edward Cullen) but they make fantastic movies with a real heart. WALL-E can still make me bawl like an infant.

And yes, I cried at this movie. Though I haven't actually watched the first two movies in ages, I cried. And if you've seen this last part of the Toy Story series and didn't, at least, feel a lump in your throat or some kind of sadness, you are a heartless person.

Seriously, your heart must be gone and eaten by zombies. It was that level of sadness. And it was a sadness that I was glad to feel.

It's now 1:54 AM and I'm running out of conversation pieces, so I'll just wrap up.

In conclusion, Toy Story 3: Wicked yes, but with tears, Disney/Pixar: Still probably evil.

Wishing she had a bear that smelled of strawberries,
Alice

Parting words of unrelated wisdom:

These movies should have never had a sequel:

Alvin and the Chipmunks
Cats and Dogs
Nanny McPhee

Just...Just no.
