My son wasn’t even born when the first Toy Story came out. He was born two years later. But it seems that from the time he was born this series has been a part of our hearts and a part of our life. We love the characters and we are always ready to watch the next one. I really didn’t know what to think about this one. I haven’t seen a lot of trailers for it. From what I heard most of my older kids didn’t want to go see it. That saddened this mama’s heart just a little I have to tell you. But I took my girl and off we went to watch this movie. I love that it is framed as what Andy was watching that got him into the Buzz Lightyear toys and action figures. It kind of filled out the plot holes with that one. I love the story that we went and saw last night and the way it made me laugh out loud many times. I think this one will stand up to the test of time with the younger kids for sure. They are going to love it. There’s a couple of scenes towards the end in here that is kind of scary so if you have children who are sensitive just be prepared for that. I definitely think my grandchildren (I don’t have any but you never know when they’ll come) would enjoy this movie over and over just like all the Pixar and Disney shows! So be prepared. There’s two end scenes after the credits so hang out and wait for them too. Would I watch it again?… Yeah, if someone told me they hadn’t seen it and would I watch it with them, then I would. Would I sit down to watch it by myself? No probably not. My kids are older now and we have things to do. Would I play it in the background for little ones that didn’t get scared…yes. All day everyday I would play this movie for them. If you have young kids then do yourself a favor and go see this one. You won’t regret it and will laugh quite a bit at this one. I wasn’t sure how I would do with Chris Evans being the voice of Lightyear but honestly he sounds so much like Tim Allen that I didn’t really notice it. Taika Waititi was in this one too. I said to my daughter that sounds like Taika. She was like it is. He is just so funny. I told my oldest son when we got home that he would have loved it. I do believe that even the older kids who aren’t kids anymore will enjoy this film. Good time. Go see it.
