Well when i went to see Toy Story 3 for the first time opening day with my aunt we thought we were just going to see another great Pixar movie. The excitement i had was just coming out of me so we sat down had alot of laughs but the thing that i really asked myself is this gonna be another Pixar movie thats gonna make me cry like UP did. It was the final stretch people all around me were tearing up including my aunt who was drowning in her own tears i thought i wasnt going to cry but then out of nowhere Andy starts giving his Woody speech and that was it i broke down not the little tears the tears that kind of make you make these weird noises while your crying and thats my story im just curious to know other peoples reactions also i bought Toy Story 3 on blu-ray and i still cry after seeing it about 4 times .
I cried. 'Nuff said.
Also I’m pretty sure there’s a thread for this.
I cried most definitely. Rocked those tear ducts to the core! I’d say the worst was during the incinerator scene, and that little talk Andy has with his mom before he leaves for college. The former wasn’t so bad the second time I saw the movie, but no matter what I do, I can’t fight off tears for the other one.
The Incinerator scene didnt really make me feel like crying cause i knew for a fact disney Pixar wouldnt end the movie with the toys dying so i knew the toys were in no real danger the ending just make me cry cause i think about all the toys i left behind in life and get very emotional but atleast the toys got a good home with bonnie.
I think there’s already a thread like this, but yes I cried.
I cried 5 times. Guys, cool it on the other thread. I’m sure he gets it.
what do you mean cool it on the other thread?
My Bad guys lol i didnt know there was another thread when i made this one i guess theres just gonna be 2 now i just signed up on this site because that stupid bot system took forever to finally let me in so um yeah sorry this thread is similar to another…
I meant stop saying there’s another thread over and over…and over…
I didn’t cry the first time at the incinerator, because I was so scared it was gonna end up being a dream
Did I ? no, would I of if they didn’t try to force the emotion too hard like they did? perhaps yes.
I really dont think they forced the emotion i think it was just there the only time i think they may have forced it was during the woody speech but ironically the woody speech is what made me cry well as i always say… to each his own
Is there another thread for this? If there is, I’ll close this one if you guys want to.
I was terrified during the incinerator scene, so no, I didn’t cry. I was on the edge of my seat, and I half-thunk that it would be a dream sequence!
I didn’t cry during [spoil]Andy’s departure[/spoil], because they drew it out too long, and the way he said goodbye felt a bit melodramatic (a few insensitive people in my theatre crowd even laughed, which meant that the impact was lost on them). The closest I came to crying was when [spoil]Andy’s mum almost broke down when she realized her boy was leaving home[/spoil]. It really spoke to me on a deeper personal level (my mum had the same reaction when I went off to college) than [spoil]Woody and Andy’s farewell[/spoil] ever did.
"thedriveintheatre"Is there another thread for this? If there is, I’ll close this one if you guys want to.
I dont know if theres another thread for this topic if there is can you tell me the name of it cause i couldnt find one thats the whole reason i started this one i was curious of how other people felt emotionally about the TS3 ending.
Does anyone have a link to this thread? I’m pretty sure there is one
I don’t know whether or not this will get locked soon, but oh, well, I wanna say something.
I definitey cried.
[spoiler]During the scene where it seriously looked like they were going to die, I wasn’t exactly crying- on the edge of my seat, eyes wide, hoping it won’t be a cheap “it was all a dream” saver, but wondering how Pixar would deliver from there. I was just…not really thinking about anything else, I guess. I was almost convinced they were going to die but I was completely clueless how they could make it to a happy ending from where they were. You could say, though, that I felt really sad, too, seeing the friends stay together truly to the end. It’s just that the edge-of-your-seat feeling, for me, overwhelmed the sad feeling.
That being said, I started crying once I saw Andy play with his toys one last time, with Bonnie, as if he were still that same kid and never changed, like all those years of growing up didn’t matter at the moment. I found it really touching. And when he even said a “Thanks, guys” directed to the toys, it shows he still really felt for the toys as if they were his old friends, despite that earlier he considered them junk. It shows he felt an inexlicable connection to the toys, and remembers it, and though it may be crazy for his age, really felt like they were almost alive to him.
And also, in a way, I found it symbolic to a young adult saying goodbye to his/her childhood, but always remembering.
Other than that, it’s also similar to one last good time with old friends before one moves away or leaves or the like.
[/spoiler]
There is however, one person that is a new friend of my close, old friends, and have a hard time getting along with her when she says, “It’s a CARTOON. How can you cry during a cartoon?” Hard time making friends with someone who doesn’t know cartoon from masterpiece animation. (But please don’t directly insult her here- it’ll only make it harder for me to try to get along. You can, however, rant disagreements and shock all you want, because I like to know there are others who know what I mean.)
Nice now i understand why alot of people cried during the incinerator seen and when he said thanks guys that also made me drown in tears also i hope they dont lock this thread cause i havent seen another like it unless there is one and i havent looked hard enough.
I almost cried. I already knew that [spoil]they were not going to die in he incinerator because the people who wrote the movie wouldn´t be so terrible to kill everyone[/spoil], but i didn´t expect the ending to be so sad
I went to see Toy Story 3 four times, and cried each time. It was powerful stuff.
While I’ve seen Toy Story 3 enough times NOW to not be able to cry, I definetly wept my eyes out the first three times. Be prepared, I have a small rep for posting long and hard, and posting my emotions to the best of my ability.
[spoil]The incinerator scene was probably the first time I cried. Well, I didn’t cry until the end of the paragraph after this one. I really didn’t know what to make of it, with the horrifying scenario and situation. I was far too engulfed in the movie to do anything else but watch… but then when Buzz took Jessie’s hand, then my mouth dropped. My heart started breaking when Buzz gave her that look, and then seeing Bullseye fighting for his life just plain broke my heart in two. Then the two pieces began shattering seeing Slinky, Rex, Hamn, the Potato Heads, and finally Buzz and Woody join hands. To see these beloved characters, who I’ve never loved like any other character in movie, TV, or video game history… face death with such bravery and love… it was very profound.
By that point, my mouth was simply in a huge grimace like the toys were, just watching. I couldn’t process anything else besides what was happening in the film. But then seeing the claw pick them up, and then the final straw was the heroic, beautiful violins when the LGM’s say, “The claaaawww!!!” It was the final straw, as I quietly screamed, “Yes! YES!” And then the waterworks started.
I continued to cry silently all the way to the rest of the film after that. I felt like I had a new appreciation for life, like I had just escaped death like the toys did. I even started sobbing when I saw Andy driving. “He can drive… Andy can drive…” I whispered to myself, like I was watching my own son - not that I have one - driving in there.
I cried when I remembered Jessie’s tragic past, and now her beautiful transition into a third life of a toy. Then seeing Rex portrayed by Andy as the powerful guy he deserves to be, even while being the sweetest dinosaur around. The Potato Heads, Slinky, Hamn, all loyal and funny. Caring and loving. The LGM’s, as they’d been the toys’ salvation ten minutes ago. Buzz, the second star of Toy Story, and the very nostalgic “To infinity and beyond” from his speaker, which literally sounded years old! Tears all the way through. And the final piano piece of Andy saying, “They… mean… a lot to me.”
Then two “Awww’s” at Bonnie saying, “There’s a snake in my boot!” and Andy pulling Woody back instinctively. Then the absolutely beautiful farewell speech from Andy, to an even more beautiful piano number that MUST be Randy Newman himself playing that. Then the bittersweet joy of seeing Woody no longer being Andy’s toy, but Bonnie’s in a second life, as they simply pass him to Bonnie.
Then playing with the toys, oh how it made me weep, to think of how happy Andy is making the toys, even curmudgeons and sarcastics like Potato Head and Hamn, or the LGM’s. who barely talk. Then Andy getting choked up as he sees Bonnie making Woody wave goodbye. Oh Lord. “Thanks guys”.
Then that final rush, that final music swell, that final reprise of this theme, as Woody and the toys all come to life slowly, taking in everything that just happened, and the hardships they endured to live to see this day. That sole swell of music is the only thing, 5 months later, that still moves me to tears today. “So long, partner.” And finally, the shot of the clouds that match Andy’s original wallpaper, and the opening shot of the first Toy Story fifteen years ago… if that opening shot took us into this wonderful, delightful, nostalgic, three-part fifteen year long saga… then this final shot is taking us out, to a new phase of our lives, and no matter what happens in this new phase after Toy Story 3, no matter what, you can always turn to your friends and tell them,
“You’ve got a friend in me, for infinity and beyond.”
The final thing that made me tear up once again was seeing Chuckles smile in the credits. Our audience completely went, “Awwww…”[/spoil]
I think I was fortunate, that the three showings I went to, including the midnight opening on June 18th, was full of sobbing people by the end, of all ages; the third including my admittedly very grumpy and angry grandmother, who even wept in this movie. Proof of the masterpiece Lee Unkrich and everyone else has done here.
