93. Toy Story 3 (2010)
Pixar made some of the best American animated movies of all time during the 1995-2010 era and I bet everyone has his/her personal favorite one. Toy Story 3 is mine.
This film manages to be wildly entertaining and is full of great comedy and exciting plotlines, while still maintaining a certain overarching depth to the story that's being told.
The whole trilogy is one of the best and most original stories about the transience of existence, in my opinion, but this last entry tackles the topic in the darkest and most profound manner in the form of its villain, Lotso.
Lotso gets confronted with the reality of his own transience and uses the 'unfairness' of his fate as an excuse to act immoral. If anything (including himself) ends, morality is simply an illusion anyway. On that immoral basis and with the power that attitude offers him, he decides to pick out a few fellow toys with whom he then founds a cruel and terrorizing reign over a fragile community (in this case the toys of the Day Care).
I love it!
This film is very clever and has a lot of interesting stuff going on for kids and adults alike. It's truly one of the best family pictures I've ever seen. It's also full of inventive filmmaking and great visuals. It's a great film and I still like it as much as the first time I watched it in the cinema.
P.S. I cried at the end.
