Toy Story Double Feature

Went out with my family to watch the Toy Story/ Toy Story 2 double feature in 3-D over the weekend. It had been a while since I saw either film, so it was great to watch these wonderful films with fairly fresh eyes. And to get them in digital 3-D was a very nice bonus indeed.For those who haven't seen these films -- I suppose there might be a few -- get out and see them. They are classics that put Pixar among the top studios of the animation world.
But seeing them with the 3-dimensional treatment was a very cool bonus. For ONCE, it was nice to see a movie in 3-D that wasn't originally MEANT for 3-D. There are no sight gags to make stuff jump out at the audience at all. Instead, the fully-realized dimensionality is ever present and helps the audience view the movie as a true world like our own. Minus the constant barrage of spears, knives, and baseballs all apparently aimed straight at our skulls.
The intermission of 10 minutes was a lot of fun as well. Lots of neat stuff was presented in a light, fun manner that you could walk in or out of without worrying that you were missing anything vital. Overall... a terrific entertainment experience. Though not really one to take a fidgety toddler out for. If you have one... spring for a baby sitter for the afternoon. Seriously, it's nearly 3 hours.
