Woody, Jessie, Buzz Lightyear, Rex, Slinky, Hamm, Mr. Potatohead and Mrs. Potatohead. Yes, I know all the Toy Story characters. No, I’m not embarrassed that I do šŸ˜‰

While everyone is talking about Inception, I’m quite fine enjoying my family-friendly Pixar creations. Pixar blows me away with their ability to tell stories and bring raw emotion to a feature film suitable for the young and old alike [and all those in between].

As the girl who confessed she cried in Wall-E because it was a representation of Jesus Christ giving himself for humanity, you’d expect me to parallel Toy Story 3 to some biblical theme, wouldn’t you? Annnnnnd of course I did!

The script was Mosaic in nature. Woody, the leader who was loved by Andy, represented Moses who led a motley crew of people for years through situations both good and bad. He gave careful instructions and tried convincing his tribe they were loved and cared for. But alas, they didn’t not believe. Woody sacrifices his own comfort and safety to make sure the group gets where they need to be.

And the story would be beautiful if it ended there. But it doesn’t. Without ruining the movie, I will say that I had no clue the plot would take the turn it did in the final scenes of the movie. I cried. In fact, I cried like Big Baby cried in Toy Story 3, complete with the whimper and the saggy left eye [I’m a bad crier].

What movies do you recommend and why? I just got Netflix and I’m ready to make my $9.99 a month worth it!
