FILM: Toy Story 3D (dir: John Lasseter, 1995)


"You could have sucked my eyeballs right out of their sockets!"

As the Pixar machine starts its early lead in for the third installment next Summer, the 3D re-rendering of the original Toy Story looks superb. The 3D adds plenty to the viewing experience - this is not the 'poke your eye out' variety of 3D, just adding wonderful depth and richness, especially in the previously-sparse 'real' scenes such as the petrol station and the moving lorry/street episodes - but it does not really add to the film itself, which fourteen years on remains an utter joy from start to finish. So why do we have to wait until January for the 3D Toy Story 2, when U.S. cinemas are currently showing both 3D revamps as a double-bill?
