Toy Story 3 - Film Animation understanding and film review


Explain about the theme and type of this film
    The theme of the toy story 3 is to believe in something no matter what others may say or tell you. Like how woody believed that Andy still loved all of the toys, even though the toys thought they were being given out by Andy when actually they were being put in the loft. It is a comedy mixed with an emotional touch of never giving up on the them you love the most and families always stick together.

Note how camera angles, lighting, music, narration, and/or editing contribute to creating an atmosphere in this film. What is the mood or tone of the film?
    The 1st half of the movie had a fun and enjoying the atmosphere so the lighting and color were bright..The 2nd half of the movie was dark and dull because the movie had turned out to be a person breaking movie…

Explain about camera angles, lighting, music, narration, character about that film.
    The 1st half of the movie is filled with colors and lighting to show the fun side of the character. How they enjoy their new house in the day care and the 2nd half of the movie is dark with less light as it all all about prison breaking. Each character had an import role to play. The camera angles, music, narration etc. were spot on.

 What is the central message(s) of this film?
    I think the fundamental message of toy story is to always trust in yourself. Work  for what you want, not what others tell you to.



Consider the effectiveness of the film in communicating its message. As a tool of communication, what are its strengths and weaknesses?
    I enjoyed the fact that toy story 3 movie could connect kids as well as the grown ups. It had a great message, great visualization, each character had a significant part and  all of this contributed in a great strength. Frankly, I couldn't see any weak point of this movie because I was truly into it and it was just so amazing.

How do you think the filmmakers wanted the audience to respond?
    I think the filmmakers wanted the audience to get in touch with the characters and feel what is like to be loved, have a house and sometimes went away alone, but never to lose hope. I'm somewhat sure that who ever viewed this movie young or adult had a smashing time and walked away with a groovy experience

 Does this film appeal to the viewer's reason or emotion? How does it make you feel?
    It’s a very entertaining move a great experience. It had altogether, first it was full on funny cartoon and my the middle it turned away to a prison breaking movie. The ending was very touching and worth the wait. Overall, it was an EPIC movie.

List two very important messages in this film

1.       Believe in yourself

2.       Nobody gets left behind.


Review

Toys Story 3, appears certain being the last part of the series Directed by Lee Unkrich and authored by Eileen Arndt, the item has all of the usual elements including toys, content antiquary, high-octane “To everlasting nature and beyond” set-pieces and escapades, yet something completely new way too: some sort of heart, a huge whipping heart. It’s an image that motivates every bit much because it entertains, that could actually help make older people delight in around the limited kids could be much more in comparison with that.

What exactly goes by on its emotive heft is the sense regarding expiry and death that hangs above the item virtually right from the start. Andy is more aged right now, on the verge of leave pertaining to school, although he solves to take Woody using them pertaining to sentiment’s benefit, your biz appears to be upward, seldom managing to escape being drawn apart inside a rubbish pickup truck, many people disregard upward everyday core pertaining to youngsters.

To start with your place of work might appear to be heaven gotten, some sort of happy-Slappy utopia. Brand-new good friends to be able to mess around using. Brand-new kids using with whom they are able to have got fun-fits and giggles! However those kids, as it happens, are brats who attack, batter and misuse these individuals every bit. Well, kids usually go along. Equally to the some other toys being kindred individuals who may possibly shield their particular buttocks that’s fun. Bossed in relation to through Lots-o’-Hugging some sort of superficially-kindly bear the medical staff much anger and up against the Globe soon after being shed worsreplaced through the beloved operator, many people shackle Thrill and pals inside cages each night.
All this upto woody to save his friends and escape the day care.
