Ok... I wasnt a huge fan of the toy story franchise... even though i remember how eager i was to see the first one all those years ago... but it was not until i saw TS3 that i really got amazed by it.
All the characters are so incredibly beautyful animated, and integrated into an amazing and much more complex story than i had expected... and with so much attention to detail and nice additions to the animation that was already established in the first two films.
Apart from all that, there were two things in this film that just cracked me up and really showed that animation (not just since TS3) has grown up.
The first scene i was amazed by is of course the reactor scene...
(dont get distracted by the title... it just cuts out earlier... but the actual footage im talking about is the same)
Beautiful... Pixar proves that there are no words needed (like the f.ex. cheesy stuff in Harry Potter 7.2) to show the moment when someone realizes he is going to die... the characters just look into each others eyes, hold hands and go into their end together... This moment is incredibly strong! Everything weve seen in all three movies comes up again...
accompanied by an amazing soundtrack this scene to me is movie history...
I also admire how they cut everything together... the chain starts and ends with the two leaders of the gang... the first who grabs someones hand is buzz... and the last one is woody... the one who always kept fighting the longest and always had to fight the hardest comes crawling back, ready to fight on... but this time his friends just look at him and tell him... let it be... this time he has to accept that there is no way out... and like a true leader... he sits in front of all others, his arms spread out protecting them till death... beautiful...
Hehe and then they of course get saved in a way only pixar can do it :-)
Love it :-)
The second thing that made me go overboard at the theatre was... of course... the world famous spanish buzz... I loved it so much that i felt bound to do a little hommage to carlos baena as i came on stage to get my AM diploma in summer 2010... (i wouldnt have done it if carlos himself wouldnt have been on stage of course) :-)
I cant point out anything that appeals to me in particular because these are the most complete piece of animation ive ever seen.
To me the special thing while watching it was, by knowing who did it (i know there are some credits to give to other animators who have worked on those pieces too... check out carlos' website to see which stuff he did), i could almost feel how much fun and joy carlos must have felt while animating it and how much of his heart and soul are conserved in it...
I guess its already pretty obvious and will become more clear when i move on, that carlos is one of my biggest idols... not just because his work is just breathtaking but also because he is such a natural and amazing person...
Again, there is much more stuff in this movie thats simply stunning but these two things stood out the most for me.
Hehe... i really have to go home... recalling all those moments makes me want to work on my own stuff :-)
