Animation or otherwise, I’ll be horrified at watching Donkey being whipped! But I love that still of Puss in Boots, my fave character of these movies. {Antonio Banderas’s voice plays no small part in that!} Thanks as always, PCN ~ good to know that this one’s reasonable. And that’s a wonderful story about Dohrn ~ a fairytale ending, for sure!

Are you sure about this? I can’t sit through another piece of c%%p movie with my ADD riddled kids. I am “that Uncle” who always get stuck bringing his nieces and nephews to films because I get along with little kids. My wife and I are glorified unpaid babysitters every Saturday during the Summer. Love most movies, but I need a film that will not only hold my attention, but one the kids will sit still during as well.

They DID sit still during BABIES. That was fun. But yet another installment of Shrek? I guess I’ll stock up on the aspirin and get back to you after the weekend.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Most studios do everything they can to make sure they wring every last dime out of their animation movies and the quality always suffers. I guess they figure a lot of parents look at animated movies as a place to drop of their kids while errands get done.

That said, they sometimes do get it right and, from your review, they seem to have gotten right again. Good for them! Good for us!

Thanks for giving me the skinny on a movie I would have ordinarily not seen. And one I can take my nieces and nephews to as well.

Oh, you got that right, Jen! TOY STORY 3 will be one of my MUST SEEs for the summer season (oh, and I think my kids would like to view it, also) ;-).

I’ll probably catch this one on DVD with my niece and nephew. I really liked the first one. I don’t think I watched any after that, though.

I’m really looking forward to TOY STORY 3, though!

Wonderful review, PCN. I'll be taking my kids to this on the weekend (I'll be re-watching Iron Man 2 in the other theater at the plex while they watch it, though). After 1 & 2, I've enjoyed all I want of the SHREK films -- for me, the films and the series age too quickly for my taste. I'm sure I'll see this at home when it's out on disc (and my children re-watch it endlessly). Thanks for this, Elyse.
