Disney’s Toy Story 3 came out today. Pixar outdid themselves with this film. They truly did. After Toy Story 2, I wasn’t sure they could cram any more heart or care into a film about these toys and I was proven wrong in every way. Following Buzz, Woody, and the gang to their final adventure through a day care and eventually to their final fate. This film is a tearjerker, and I know a lot of people who were too macho to go see it in the theatres and have been waiting for this release to watch it in the privacy of their own home where they can cry unseen. It’s worth every penny you’ll spend on it.
The Blu-ray looks fantastic, as it does with every Pixar release. They’ve really set a standard in home video picture quality and they manage to exceed it with every subsequent release.
The Day and Night cartoon that was featured before the film theatrically has a spot on this DVD and is one of the most clever and beautifully executed shorts in animated film history and I was incredibly pleased to see it again.
All of this is combined into a 4 disc package (Blu-ray, Special Features, DVD, Digital Copy) that make it a hard to resist purchase for anyone.
There’s literally nothing to complain about with this release. This receives the highest marks possible for a comprehensive Blu-ray release. It has all the special features you’d ever want, astounding picture quality on the Blu-ray, a DVD copy for the kids to mess up in any way they see fit, a digital copy for watching on the go. Everything. It has everything.
I wouldn’t recommend watching the digital copy in public though. Remember how much of a tear jerker this is? It can get embarrassing.
If you haven’t already pre-ordered it, my question is why?
