Toy Story 3 Trailer: Childhood's End

Written by Kyle Buchanan | 12 Oct 2009, 9:45 AM | 2 comments


Hey kids, are you excited for the trailer to Toy Story 3? Well, enjoy as the clip does its damnedest to totally depress you. Andy’s grown up and he doesn’t need toys anymore! In fact, the unblinking gaze of Slinky Dog is really starting to make him feel guilty when he bypasses Mom’s internet restrictions late at night. (This would also explain why the Potato Heads had their eyes plucked out when Andy turned thirteen.)

And thus it is that all the toys are cast out of their original Eden, landing in a day care center populated by terrible modern children named AshLeigh and Jaden. Soon, they realize that this has all happened before and will happen again. Woody and Buzz comes to see their immortality as a curse, a millstone hung round their necks as they watch humankind proceed inexorably toward a blithering endpoint yet are powerless to change it.

Yay! Toys!

VERDICT: Sold.

Message of the movie: "This is The New World Order, Kids. So you better get used to it, because there's nothing you can do about it."
