MOVIE OF THE WEEK/OSCAR WATCH: Toy Story 3


The second Oscar contender of the year is Toy Story 3. Definitely one of the best animated films I've seen in a while. I thought they were exaggerating when they said it was making grown men cry, but alas, my eyes did get a bit watery. Those toys are just so damn loveable! I even felt bad for throwing out my own childhood toys! A true testament to power of this film. Like 2009's "Up", this installment also had a slightly deeper plot, as it explored the dilemma of kids growing up (and of course, outgrowing toys). Haven't seen "How To Train Your Dragon", so can't say it's a sure win for Animated Feature. I can also see some Oscar love in the Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay categories. I liked it, but don't think I'm on the bandwagon yet to see an animated film win Best Picture.
