Beautiful and brilliant.

Thursday, 'Toy Story 3' had a shot at something special -- it stood to propel the three films into history, becoming the only trilogy rated 100 percent fresh across the board on Rotten Tomatoes.
Friday, that hope was dashed. As Roger Ebert and others predicted, notoriously contrary New York Press film critic Armond White dissed the third installment in Pixar's flagship franchise. White's review deems the nearly universally acclaimed film "essentially a bored game that only the brainwashed will buy into" and posits the series is only fit for "non-thinking children and adults"
I don't know what there is to think about when you go to see a movie such as this?!?! It's really too bad!!
This is seriously beautiful!!jrnyman28 wrote:Saw it on Father's Day with the whole family and my Mom.

Then, afterward, I lean over and hand her a napkin....and hand my wife a napkin. Both are crying. And having a 19 yr old and an 18 yr old as well as a 17mo old I can relate to the full range of emotions in this movie. Brilliant! Started off my Father's Day with a bang!

We need to take the time to be "child like" with our children, go see films such as this, and enjoy it with them. Children learn from us so many things, how sad it is that we wish for them to grow up so fast that they never learn to wonder, imagine, and play as children any more.
These children are the inventors, explorers, and creators of what will be our future. Imagination is the innovation of great thinkers in adults. If we don't nurture the imagination of our children, we doom our culture to mediocrity.

Reach inside yourself, find that inner child, and teach your children to dream. Their future will know no limits.
