This past Sunday was Father’s Day here in the United States. As part of my day, my kids — all three of them — treated me to a trip to the movies to see Toy Story 3. I could not have asked for a better gift as I love this series as much as much as any kid.

The third installment of Toy Story, however, is a little dark and a bitter sweet tale. Andy is older and soon to be off to college. Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang are feeling their age as the day they have long feared approaches.

Although Toy Story 2 is still my favorite, there are many enjoyable twists and turns in Toy Story 3 that make it a wonderful outing and well worth your movie dollars. In my opinion, though, Ken and Barbie steal the show.

WARNING… If you have ever owned a beloved toy growing up, bring some tissues with you and be prepared to cry!!
