A Drawn-Out Toy Story

No Comments »

So there’s a Toy Story 3 coming out…

Am I the only one who isn’t interested? Haven’t they said all there is to say in Toy Story 1 and 2?

Don’t get me wrong, I like cartoony movies still despite being 25. I intend on seeing ‘Up’ sometime this century… When I have money… Whenever that will be.
At any rate, seriously. What more can they do? They’ve done the “toy gets lost in the great outdoors” routine, and the “let’s introduce a bunch of forgettable characters and a love interest that isn’t Bo-Peep” routine. Aren’t the tales of Woody and Buzz pretty much done? From the sounds of things, Toy Story 3 is just the first one, but Andy is all grown up and ditches all his old toys. Yeesh, Give the kid years of entertainment and you’re out on your arse. That’s gratitude for you.

Perhaps I should just shut up and reserve judgement until I see it…eventually….in a galaxy far far away, but ehh. The idea of reviving a childhood favourite long after the second one had passed on seems like a bad idea to me. Case in point? motherfucking Shrek. We don’t need a Shrek Forever After, even if it was a gritty Sin City-styled reboot.

Though Shrek kicking the shit out of Elijah Wood would be delightful

Seriously Pixar, I know you mean well, but don’t reboot a series that doesn’t need to be made a trilogy. That will only lead onto Toy Story 4, 5, 6 if the film industry overall is anything to go by. Which -knowing how Hollywood loves reboots, Jessie will become a stripper/hired killer who needs to clear her name after being framed for a crime she didn’t commit. It’ll also guest-star Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson as themselves… In toy form…

…And they have lightsabers.

…… On second thought, gimme a week. I have a few phonecalls to make.
