Toy Story 3

--- Quote from: Ozymandias on 11 Jul 2010, 19:53 ---A very small part of me actually believed they might end it like that during that scene and was screaming inside. It was a very small part of me and ever so brief but my mind raced for any possible way they could escape and never actually settled on the eventual solution, which was made 100x better and funnier due to my panic.

Yeah, I was crying so much at this point. My brain was too far into "OH NOES" territory to think "man they can't end it like this" so I was just tears tears tears sniffle sniffle and then the claw came in and I was so mad at myself for thinking they could end it like that.
Would see again. Maybe in 3D this time...
David_Dovey:
Yeah the Deus Ex Machina was kind of silly but at least they lampshaded it beforehand by having the little green men regarding "the claw" as an actual god.
I don't know what it is but I am never, in the moment, not completely convinced that everything can all go completely wrong and everybody dies or at least fails miserably when I am watching Pixar movies. Of course, it never has and probably never will but for some reason I just keep thinking that one of these days Pixar really is going to say "fuck it" and just emotionally scar a whole bunch of kids (and a whole bunch of adults, for that matter) for the rest of their lives.
RallyMonkey:
I have trouble calling something that was established over all three movies in the series, and at the beginning of the scene, a Deus ex machina.
Inlander:
I saw this tonight and really loved it.
Of course because it's an animated film about toys and kids it's being regarded as a kid's film, but there is no way this is a kid's film. It's a hilarious comedy but it's also a deeply serious and moving film about the difficulty of adapting to the change that is an inevitable consequence of life and about the emotional brutality I think we've all experienced as children when it seemed like our best friends had "replaced" us. And, I'm not kidding, that scene with the holding hands and waiting to be incinerated was one of the most emotionally powerful scenes in cinema I've seen in a long time. With that scene Pixar fully earned the film's sweet conclusion.

Ridiculously predictable bits here and there, followed quite a lot of tropes to make it more hardcore.
Great chuckles all around, though. Anyone spotted the less obvious cultural references throughout?
