For the fine folks at Moving Pictures<\/span>, I reviewed the latest Pixar<\/a> movie Toy Story 3<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Save for the Oscar-winning \u201cThe Return of the King\u201d and the classic \u201cGoldfinger,\u201d third installments typically disappoint. The detritus of these dismal offerings litters the film landscape: \u201cThe Godfather: Part III,\u201d \u201cReturn of the Jedi,\u201d \u201cX-Men: The Last Stand,\u201d \u201cSuperman III\u201d and \u201cShrek the Third,\u201d to name but a few. Much like the company’s entire existence, Pixar defies traditional thought with \u201cToy Story 3.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Director Lee Unkrich (co-director on \u201cToy Story 2\u201d) and screenwriters Michael Arndt, John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton and Unkrich perfectly capture the essence of the previous movies while crafting a wholly original product. At a brisk 103 minutes, the film flows flawlessly.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

The accompanying short \u201cDay &amp; Night,\u201d homage to the UPA cartoons of the 1950s, cleverly incorporates traditional animation styles with the more modern Pixar method. The combination results in a clever and thoroughly entertaining cartoon.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
