Toy Story 3
(2010)

RATING:100%
FORMAT:DVD

Despite the fact that the human movement in CGI movies have yet to sufficiently resemble actual human movement, quality product like Toy Story series works well because they compensate by utilizing the best vocal talent available. They also cheat somewhat on their animation difficulties when compared to hand-drawn cartoons by largely using characters who possess hard bodies. This means that the characters are not required to move realistically since toys do not move in real life and so there is nothing to compare their movements with to determine their movements' accuracy. This means character can only be conveyed by the voice artists and not so much the animation - unlike the classic Disney period when Walt Disney was still alive. CGI will only truly come of age when the leading roles are given to humans rather than the easier-to-animate toys.

However, what amazes is that the quality of the first two movies is still present here. Essentially an action movie, this is humor-filled fun for everyone with its theme of knowing when to give up ones toys and move on emotionally.

Science:



No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.

Sleep of Reason:



The dream of reason produces monsters. Imagination deserted by reason creates impossible, useless thoughts. United with reason, imagination is the mother of all art and the source of all its beauty.



Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes… (1746-1828), Spanish painter. Caption to Caprichos, number 43, a series of eighty etchings completed in 1798, satirical and grotesque in form.

I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.



Terence… (circa 190-159 BC), Roman dramatist. Chremes, in The Self-Tormentor [Heauton Timorumenos], act 1, scene 1.


Führerprinzip:



One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves… There is no organ of conciliation or mediation interposed between the leader and the people, nothing in fact but the apparatus - in other words, the party - which is the emanation of the leader and the tool of his will to oppress. In this way the first and sole principle of this degraded form of mysticism is born, the Führerprinzip, which restores idolatry and a debased deity to the world of nihilism.
