I think it was because the rest of the audience, like me, knew what was coming a sad story about cosmic indifference and cold-hearted abandonment which sets in motion the real emotional undertow of the film.

One of the funniest scenes the first time I saw this movie three weeks ago, involving a cutaway to a clown staring at a window, got hardly a laugh when I saw it again tonight. All this is very funny, and director Lee Unkrich and the Pixar writers and artists find brilliant ways to keep humor close to the center of things throughout. 'We do a lot of improv here,' another toy tells him. Every now and again we break away to see Woody in his new situation, being played with by a girl named Bonnie who is very nice but has a left-field imagination. Potato Head (Don Rickles) puts it, 'an accessory, a purse with legs.' The daycare center is also fabulously realized, a cacophony of misfit toys all showing signs of wear from constant play. Ken must deal with wisecracks about being a girl's toy, or as Mr. We meet Ken (Michael Keaton), who introduces himself to Barbie saying 'We were made for each other'. This time the drama is stronger than ever, yet the film amazingly manages to stay refreshingly clever and hilarious. The second film pushed these buttons a bit harder, to the point of losing the humor. the fragile buddy system employed in the first 'Toy Story', Sid's hapless victims, and talk of rummage sales.

No owners means - no heartbreak!' It's odd to see a film series that started out as an animated lark turn into 'Watership Down', but there's always been some existential angst at the heart of the enterprise, c.f. 'You'll never be outgrown, or neglected,' the toys are informed by the chuckily plush play bear Lots-O (Ned Beatty). It looks like the attic, but events conspire to throw them a day-care center called Sunnyside. It's the last week of summer before Andy heads off to college, and Woody (Tom Hanks) and the other remaining toys in Andy's bedroom find themselves in fear of what's to become of them.

Is there Life after playtime? Can you handle a film in which the toys are playing with us, the audience? The third chapter of the Toy Story saga asks some tough questions of viewers, but the rewards of seeing this remarkable film outweigh the emotional toll.
