Oscar reviews #1

Toy Story 3



Yeah, I get it. They're selecting 10 films now for the coveted golden boy, and there are going to be a few, while good movies, they're not going to win.

Toy Story 3 is one of those films. The cards are just too stacked against them.
1. The Academy has never given the best film to animation.
2. It has the music of Randy Newman....Randy Newman for Christ's sake.
3. With so many excellent performances from real actors, how can you turn the Oscar dude over to an animated film?
4. Did I mention the music of Randy Newman?

Toy Story 3 was an okay film with exceptional animation just like "Up" was last year, but you probably wouldn't have seen it had you not had to take your child, nephew, niece to see it. Sadly it's going to end up in the same place all animated best picture nods land....in the toy box unplayed with.
