Watched Toy Story 3 for the second time today, and for the second time I wept like a small child by the end. It's interesting now watching the entire trilogy as a whole, Toy Story is one big story arc on loss and really, death. It was all encapsulated beautifully when...
Heavy stuff for a G rated children's film, but Pixar is clearly more than a children's animation studio, and anybody who still looks at cartoons as something only for children needs to re-examine the quality of story telling that can be told through animation. After all, animation is only a story telling device, and not an actual genre of film.
More on the reason I cried like a baby by the end, the first flick came out the year I started Kindergarten, so I was 5. This last one now is coming out just as I prepare to finish Community College and move on to a four year university. This, in a stupid way, encapsulated my childhood.

i want to see it so bad! i'm just not willing to watch it online in crappy quality, and i'm far too broke to pay to see it in theaters. i'm just going to have to wait til i can use one of my free movie passes i guess.
