The Daily Something

Alright! Hope you guys are liking Toy Story Tuesday so far! This is the movie I feel like I watch the least out of all 3 movies... but it's still pretty important to shaping what Pixar is known for and it's just a great movie that I feel like I overlook too often. Okay so Toy Story 2... I'd say the funniest of the 3 Toy Story movies... this also seemed like the most adventurous of all the Toy Story Movies. I think the funny thing about these movies is that the Toys are on this HUGE adventure and in reality they are usually only a few minutes away from their home. I don't think Sunnyside was that far, Sid was just RIGHT next door to Andy and Al's Toy Barn isn't too far either... but with this one they also go to the airport and the stakes are pretty high because they're going to Japan. So... the most memorable part of Toy Story 2... the part that will kind of stick with you no matter what is the part where you learn Jessie was abandoned by her kid "E...

So I mentioned Toy Story 3 being one of my favorite movies of all time... and I'm not sure it's better than the first movie... and I'm not sure the second movie isn't better than the first either... so yeah. I guess I'm just going to dive into all of these movies and we'll go over what's the best and why each of them are amazing on their own anyway! And I do love all of these movies individually... but they definitely do all play better as a trilogy than individual movies. If Pixar decided not to make another Toy Story movie after the first one... I don't think the story would be told. And although I was 18 when Toy Story 3 came out... I feel like that was the perfect completion to the story. And I know they're making or trying to make a Toy Story 4... I have a feeling there's still more story to tell and I'm excited for it. I know most people are skeptical because Toy Story 3 was amazing... but I'm trying to keep an open mind about Toy...

Okay... so I have kind of a Pixar theme going on right now and I'd like to mention why I love Pixar and why Pixar means so much to me... so yeah. It all started when Toy Story came out! I was a kid... I remember seeing it in theaters with my dad, my sister and I think my sister's best friend at the time. My dad doesn't really go to a lot of movies- but I kind of wonder if he wanted to see the movie as much as we did. It was something different and my dad has always loved computers and technology... so I'm guessing he knew more about what Pixar was and why this was so special. Maybe we were just arguing or something and he wanted to get us out of the house... not really sure! But I remember seeing this in theaters and I loved it. I knew my toys came to life when I wasn't in the room! This confirmed it. Also... this is still something I kind of believe. No shame. I know that toys don't really come to life when you aren't in the room... but I mean come on! ...

So I thought I would do something very different on here and talk about how I feel about ALL of the Pixar movies based on their teasers alone... and how I felt about watching them as a "kid." I'm kind of redefining the word Kid here because let's face it... aren't we all kids when we watch Pixar teasers? It is an exciting event for everyone! So this is based off of everything from Toy Story to Coco. My response to the trailers doesn't exactly reflect how I feel about the film. Monster's Inc is my favorite and it is not #1 on the list. So- let's get right into it! BTW I watched them all on  this  video. 19) Cars 2- It's Cars... and it looks like they're spies... this just did not click with me. I was kind of too old to appreciate Cars when it came out... I was in college by the time Cars 2 came out... so this just wasn't going to be something I saw... Didn't get to see a lot of movies in college... this wasn't one I was even going ...

So I couldn't think of what to write today... but this is something that is very telling of a person. The movies that if you see it on TV, you will watch it above everything else. They might not necessarily be my favorite movies... but they're ones I get really, really excited about. 1) My Big Fat Greek Wedding  This one is my favorite and this probably is in my Top 5 Favorite movies of All Time. It's just such a good movie, I've seen it so many times I actually know every word. This is the only movie that I know every word to... unless Hamilton becomes a movie lol. It's just sooo good and so funny. I love it. 2) Any of The Despicable Me Movies  These aren't on as much as they used to be... but Despicable Me is my favorite movie ever... I could watch it a million times and still never get tired. And I also love Minions and Despicable Me 2... in that order. Despicable Me is #1 then Minions and then DM2. DM3 looks really good too, I'm so excited for it.....
