Toy Story 3

The Observer“Truly wonderful...” Brimming with wonderful satire and lump-in-the-throat nostalgia, the final Toy Story film provides a fitting end to a classic trilogy...

Little White Lies“Pixar’s pixie dust has worked its magic...” It’s close to perfection. Inevitably, the premise has lost some of its sparkle, but with the dialogue sharp and the performances charismatic, Toy Story 3 is a satisfying if not surprising farewell to old friends...

Guardian“A brutally adult movie with brutally adult themes...” It's an effortlessly superior family movie. We grownups, however, may have to gulp back our tears and somehow keep it together in front of the kids: just like the toys who revert to blank grins when their owners come back into the bedroom...

Channel4 Film“Can you believe it? Fifteen years!...” So it makes sense that in this long-awaited third film in Pixar's hit series time has also passed. A film to enrapture children, and make adults weep. Plastic cowboy hats off to Pixar once again...

The Telegraph“It’s a film that moves as much as it entertains...” It has all the usual ingredients - squeaky toys, happy anticry, high-octane "To infinity and beyond" set-pieces and escapades - but something new too: a heart, a huge beating heart...

Time Out film“A film willing to flirt with darker matter...” Stops short of the kind of traumatic wallop associated with, say, Bambi’s mum...

The Independent“A triumphant return...” Never mind the kids – the poignant finale, which takes place at a landfill site, had most adults in the cinema in floods of tears...

Variety“The visuals look gorgeous as ever...” But it's best when it's being serious, and the final 15-minute stretch - from the moment the toys are dumped at a landfill through the tear-jerking finale - pays off feelings audiences invested 15 years ago...

Empire“Wonderful...” Just as the action comes thick and fast, the wisecracks and visual gags are high-volume and high hit-rate. Combined with the kind of state-of-the-artistry we now take for granted with Pixar, they ensure that every last frame counts...

Total Film “Continually, blissfully funny...” One of the best films of the year, Pixar’s long-awaited latest scores in every department. It’s as fine a threequel as you could hope for. Bring tissues – lots of tissues...
