Reflecting on the Toys.

Before the epic final saga of Toy Story on Friday, I would like some time to reflect back on the series that is and will forever be, Toy Story. This set of movies, this set right here is my favorite movies of all time. From the opening credits of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” in the first movie, to the end of the movie ahead of us, it is my favorite movies. Ever!
Why am I writing a post only about the toys? Well, we all as kids grew up imagining these toys coming alive when we played with them. We were all an Andy at one point in our lives, playing with everything, we had our favorite. When Woody and Buzz made their debuts, it made us wonder…do they really talk like that? No, not with Tim Allen (Buzz) or Tom Hanks (Woody), but with their own voice. These movies gave us an imagination. The minds at Pixar captured something we couldn’t. We all remember Andy, and what a warm heart and passion for his toys he had. What an awesome story to bring Woody and Buzz together to become best friends. I will never forget the famous words of Randy Newman’s song, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”, “And as the years go by, our friendship will never die!”. These movies will forever live in our hearts. Toy Story is one of the greatest series of all time, for me, up there with Star Wars.
I cannot promise I won’t shed a tear when it’s all over.
Thank you Disney, thank you Pixar, for giving us the story of this group of toys and a boy who loved them so much.
