I got Toy Story 3 at CVS for SO cheap. Seriously, it was $3.99 after discounts and the girls were really excited to see it (or so they said they were). I thought this would be okay to watch at home as you know that our girls don't like going to the movies. You may remember this post from the summer.
We popped Toy Story 3 in the DVD player and sat down to watch the movie, just the three of us. It has some really cute moments throughout but I think when you watch it for the first time there is a huge feeling of sadness throughout the entire movie. The little boy, Andy, has grown up and is going off to college. It's all very bittersweet and a bit melancholy. The toys are potentially going to go to the attic or be given away to a daycare center. Then there's this bear in the movie called Lotso and he is M-E-A-N. He lost his original owner and is bitter about it.
Long story short: the girls and I cried on and off throughout the movie but we kept hanging on thinking it would be a happy ending. I guess you could call it a happy ending when Andy gives his toys to a little girl that will play with all of them but the leaving for college part traumatized my girls. Reese kept saying, "What's college? I don't want to go there! WHY is he leaving his family and his toys?!?" OY!! Next time I want to have a warm fuzzy moment with my kids and watch a Disney "kids" movie, remind me that our girls are still babies and should not be watching these kinds of movies.
PS<> I do like the movie and maybe I just needed a good cry, but holy heck, I was kind of a hot mess when that movie was over.

That's how I felt after I watched "Up!"
