Toy Story (franchise)/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* The intro sequence. {{spoiler|Basically it's Andy's playtime in the toy's eyes. In other words, '''''[[Up to Eleven|it's cranked up to eleven.]]''''' }}

** Three Words: '''DEATH. BY. MONKEYS.'''

** Which is then followed by Barbie's hilarious epic [[Kirk Summation]]: {{spoiler|"Jessie's right! Authority should derive from the consent of the governed, not from threat of force!"}}

* The toys' plan for escape from [[The Alcatraz]].

* Another meta-level one goes to director Lee Unkrich who spent the better part of the first few days after the movie's release on [[Twitter]] reading fans' reviews and in many cases, directly responding and thanking them for the support.

* Yet two more meta-examples can be found in the film's box office performance. Yes, it sounds funny, geeky, and a bit stupid. Yes, we know filmmaking is more about entertainment than the money. But, Toy Story 3 becoming the ''highest grossing animated film of all time '''and''' the first to exceed one billion U.S. dollars'' is something that Pixar -- Pixar who we all know and love, and contributed so much to many people's childhoods -- really, really deserve, as their own Moment of Awesome, isn't it? It's a perfect cap to the last fifteen years of win after win after win, and we all want to see Pixar do well because they are ''awesome''. Plus, the film just shows how brilliant they are. Don't deny it -- you were a little bit happy when you heard the news. After all, they've earnt it.

** Even more awesome when you consider that Woody's actions in the first film could have ended with him going down the same dark path.
