#73. Toy Story 3
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/69/Toy_Story_3_poster.jpg
Dir: Lee Unkrich
Genre: Animated, Comedy
Year: 2010

Toy Story 3 does something that I am not sure has ever been done in a movie before. There is a very palpable meta-narrative going on that brings a good portion of the audience into the story itself. You know what I'm talking about--so many of us were kids who played with toys when the original Toy Story was released, and now we were all grown up like Andy in Toy Story 3.

And that meta-narrative works perfectly to make this one of the most emotionally resonant films of the decade for me. Growing up and moving on is a fact of life for just about everyone. But it doesn't mean that the memories and relics of the past are unimportant. They formed who we are--and in this universe of such relics being animate beings, it was great to see that arc where they also came to accept this fact. A perfect end to an amazing series.

Boycott Toy Story 4.
