<\/a>A healthy batch of Toy Story 3 reviews are now available<\/a> on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, setting Pixar’s 11th off to a great start with just a week to go!<\/p>\n

The infamous Tomatometer was activated shortly after five professional opinions (containing spoilers<\/strong><\/font>) made their way online, marking 100% ‘Fresh’ approval from critics so far. Boxoffice Magazine<\/a>, Screen International<\/a> and Access Hollywood<\/a> join Variety and The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> in praise for Lee Unkrich’s latest with an average rating of 8.8 out of ten.<\/p>\n

If critic Scott A. Mantz<\/a> got his way "on a [numerical] scale", Toy Story 3’s rating would be even higher: sky rocketing "to infinity, and beyond." But the comment that stood out to me the most came from Pete Hammond<\/a> who called Disney\/Pixar’s summer tentpole "the best Toy Story ever." The prevailing theme in these reviews is that the studio has succeeded in producing a consistently stellar trilogy.<\/p>\n

It’s still early, but Toy Story 3 seems to be headed for greatness. We’ll keep track as reviews pour in — and they surely will in the coming days. After all, Toy Story 3 will begin playing in just one week!<\/p>\n

Can ‘3’ hold it’s 100% approval rating like the last two films in the series? <\/p>\n
