Toy Story 3

Yes, it is a tear-jerker. But at least it comes by its emotional impact honestly, unlike some other Pixar efforts. This presumed denouement of the series charts some of the same territory as the last chapters of The House at Pooh Corner--a rumination on growing up and leaving childhood behind, and how the echoes of those younger days stay with us while also being passed down to another generation at the same time. The movie is nuanced, complex, well-thought out and well-written, and it's hard to imagine anyone not liking this movie, or at least not finding it effective and entertaining. The hardcore cynic inside may nag at you, but his voice is weak compared with this film's loud and clear statements.
