That is such a powerful scene, how the toys are promised a great new life with that little girl, and how they have one more "play session" with Andy. It's making me a little emotional just thinking about it!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the memories of your fave toys when you were a kid. The Domino Rally sounds exhilarating!Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-38800955062326291072017-05-13T20:44:12.746-04:002017-05-13T20:44:12.746-04:00Many thanks.Many thanks.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-73899876266807324002017-05-13T20:03:01.521-04:002017-05-13T20:03:01.521-04:00You had the exact same reaction as me: I knew some...You had the exact same reaction as me: I knew somehow that they could not die,. but I didn't see an easy way out.

I was with my best friend, and I remember her shaking her head at me as I had huge streams of tears emerging from the 3D glasses. There were big tough guys sitting close to us as well who did not hold back the tears. <br /><br />I also loved my Lite Brite as well as a kid! I also loved my Talking Computer and Fisher Price phone haha. I do have two teddy bears who mean a great deal to me, and I would never part with them.charsmoviereviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07311033345038370735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-59438491094264923472017-05-12T08:05:13.777-04:002017-05-12T08:05:13.777-04:00Funny, when I actually thought about it, I realize...Funny, when I actually thought about it, I realized there were things I wasn't sure could qualify as toys or perhaps just games.

I had some dolls and plush teddy bears, but when I look back it is my books and Classics Illustrated comics that stand out.<br /><br />I saw Toy Story 3 in the theatre as well. It was with Janet (her second viewing) and I felt exactly the same emotions during the incinerator scene. I was squeezing her hand the whole time and I think I even stopped breathing at one point. The Toy Story trilogy lives. Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.com
