You grew up with Toy Story....I watched my daughter grow up with it, so those scenes with Andy in TS3 made me cry. More than once. :/ Check this out: TS2 was the first movie we took the kid to see in a theater. Now she's going into 8th grade, and the day before we saw TS3 I received her school reg forms, including info on graduation gowns and diplomas. *wibble*

I found Big Baby creepy once we realized the day care toys were bad guys. The escape scene where Big Baby is on patrol by the swings and hears something? When the baby's head just turned around? *shudder* Possessed dolls squick me out...too many Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock reruns when I was a kid. :)

How awesome was it that the clawwwww saved them?! I thought it was a cool ending to have the toys at Bonnie's keep in touch with Barbie and the others at day care. Did you see the Army men parachuting into Bonnie's yard at the end? So, don't worry...they're together with Woody, Buzz, Jessie and the gang. ;)

I couldn't see my Mom in the theater, but I think the scenes with Andy got to her too, especially since the first Toy Story was the first movie my little brother ever saw in theaters and now he's only one year away from heading off to college. Got to hand it to Pixar, they played exactly to their demographics.

I can see how Big Baby would be really creepy, but for some reason whenever he showed up - even when he was keeping watch on the swing and his head spun all the way around - I just felt really, really sad and sorry for him. I think it was the half-closed eye that tipped me in that direction, because it looked like it was permanently bruised, but really everything about him made me think of an abused child. Even when he was out on the swing I just thought he looked incredibly lonely and isolated.

That was maybe the biggest case of mood whiplash I've ever had. One second OH GOD THE CHARACTERS I'VE LOVED SINCE MY CHILDHOOD ARE ALL GOING TO DIE HORRIBLE DEATHS WHAT IS THIS PIXAR, next second CLAW MACHINE LOL. It was disorienting and strange and I kind of loved it. And I did see the Army Men parachuting in at the end, since my family and I stayed through the credits. It did make me a little bitter because we got no such confirmation that Bo Peep and the binoculars and RC and everyone else was okay, but at least we know they got out alive, so that did make the sadness a little easier to take.
