Normally I don’t tell my boys about products or DVD’s that are heading our way just in case something happens but even I was so excited about this release that I told them the moment I found out. Everyday Gavin checked for the mail, luckily, it came really quick and when it did Gavin was jumping around on the deck he was so excited! I had my camera on me and he actually said “Mommy, take my picture with Toy Story!”.

If you have been living in a cave and have missed the details of Toy Story 3 then let me share the story. Of course not everything because I wouldn’t want to spoil it on you!

See, this time around Andy is all grown up and heading off to college. Mom wants his belongings packed up, tossed out, or donated. Andy struggles with the choice but in the end decides to put his favorite old toys in the attic. However Mom mixes them up with the donations and off they go to Sunny Patch the neighborhood daycare center!
The toys think they are in for a great treat! Plenty of children to play with them everyday! Sounds like so much fun. When they meet the daycare toys they think everyone and everything is so great and wonderful…but that’s until Sunny Patch closes!

There is so much craziness that goes down once we learn the “rules” for the toys and things go terribly wrong! If you want to find out if they make it out you’ll have to of course purchase your copy of the DVD!

The boys LOVED this movie. It was our first great experience in the theaters with Gavin. Both he and Johnny were completely entertained from start to end! Of course Johnny thought it was hilarious when I cried. He says “How do you cry at a Disney movie?” I just laugh knowing how many times Disney has made the emotion real and brought me to tears. I was not the only Mom with a tear, I promise you that!

The kids and I all agree that our favorite part of this movie (and probably all three movies) is when Buzz is reset and put into spanish mode and falls in love with Jessi! When he grabs her and start dancing with her just cracked us all up! Since owning the movie my boys have made sure to call me in every time it comes on.

I highly recommend this movie in your Holiday gift giving. Well, that is if you can manage to hang onto it for that long. It’s perfect for boys and girls! Makes a great family night too!

As you can see we absolutely adore this movie! From the moment we walked out of the theater I knew we would need to own this movie. If you haven’t picked up this DVD yet you need too! Not only will your kids love it but you will too! It would be a great stocking stuffer come Christmas if you need to hold on to it too!
