Toy Story 3. A majorly anticipated movie, enjoyed by kids and adults alike. Those who freely admit to watching it are full of nostalgia. Those who claim they’ve never seen it are in denial. As a movie for kids, it has adventure, it has fun, and it has toys. To us though (the arguably wiser, more serious viewers), Toy Story 3 is much more than a story about toys; it is a transition, a documentation of growing up. It sees Andy moving to college, leaving home, and ultimately growing up. This is a crucial stage in our lives, in which we begin to question and learn; forming our own judgements, and becoming our own person. It’s a time everybody struggles with. Nobody copes entirely perfectly with change.
If I have yet to loose your attention, if I ever had it in the first place, then I will leave you with a quote:
“Too many people grow up. That’s the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up and forget. They don’t remember what it’s like to be 12 years old.” - Walt Disney
