I have yet to notice a thread regarding reviews on the double feature, so I think here would be an appropriate place for us members to post em on as well as rate em on the above pole! I’ll post my review and vote here later today if not this week. In the meantime, you guys go ahead and get started! ^-^

Haha, I went with 8. I’d be a bit more careful about your ‘comments’ for the ratings though, 0 seems a bit,… extreme! Funny, sure, but extreme. Just a heads up.

I definitely had a great time, I’d recommend it. Especially for the TS3 trailer, that was the best part in my opinion, and the 3D was much better than I expected.

10/10.

Probably more of a personal thing for me to give it that high of a score, but hey.

This Double Feature is really what I needed. I was beginning to forget how great these two movies were. I have TS1 on VHS, but I don’t really have a VHS player, and last time I saw TS2 I was 7-ish in a theater with friends and wasn’t paying much attention. It was almost surreal to come back to these films, 8 years later, and having such a great time, enjoying these films 2-3 times as much, being able to view them with a greater understanding of what’s going on. The 3-D was very nice, as well.

Here’s my review in a local paper:

(I’m Brent. Roberta is my mother/co-reviewer).

Excerpt:

Brent: Even a critic can get sentimental when remembering going to the movies as a kid. I grew up during the final round of theatrical re-releases for the Disney classics, so I got to see Snow White, Bambi, Cinderella, and the like as they were originally intended to be seen: on the big screen. I think the idea of “two-for-one, plus 3D” is a brilliant way of reviving that old re-release tradition in the age of the DVD. I was 14 years old—half my current age—when Toy Story originally came out. I’ve seen it many, many times since then on TV, but seeing in the theater is different.

Roberta: I grew up with double features in movie theaters, so it was kind of fun enjoying it again. As far as the films themselves, they’re timeless. Even if you’ve seen them before, come on and see them again. We can all relate with toys—you know, how special they are to children—so it’s a good concept.

Just got back from it,

And holy cow, it was amazing. The effects were way better than I was expecting. Disney and Pixar did a top notch job bring the two movies back to the big screen in 3D. And I think this may of have been the first time I’ve seen a Pixar movie in the theaters. (Or movies in the case .)

I can see the few minor touch ups and needed improvements that were done. But they were done in such a way it didn’t take away from the experience any. And it’s surprising how well both movies have aged.

Can’t wait to see Toy Story 3!!
