"It's been 17 years since the first installment and more than 10 years since the second installment at Pixar Studios, and as an animated film, such a time span means that the first group of young audiences who fell in love with Woody and Buzz Lightyear through the first film have already entered adulthood, which is actually a very unfavorable situation for a sequel to a children's film."

But what Pixar does best is eating for all ages, and the first hour of the film is about entertaining new friends, and the second half hour is about giving back to old friends. Andy has grown from an ignorant boy to a teenager who is about to enter the college campus, and the various experiences in it are easy for the audience to have a sense of substitution, which is why the whole film always exudes a faint sense of compassion and sadness in a relaxed and humorous atmosphere, which is actually a party for farewell. ”

Like other Hollywood studios, Pixar Studios is not a stand-alone company, and with the support of a huge platform like Time Warner, it can undoubtedly attract more media attention in terms of publicity.

Feelings are a marketing weapon in North America, and "Toy Story 3", which plays the card of feelings, has won praise from the media.

"The film has a main story with clear lines and clear motives, and the endless emergencies and clever solutions have always drawn the audience into a seemingly far-fetched but interesting process of the overall setting. The main creators of the film have a bolder interpretation of the characters, each character has highlights and outstanding personalities, including the personality levels of villains such as hugging bears are also rich, especially in the escape scenes, the design of giving full play to their respective advantages and cooperating with each other is full of creativity. ”

"Toy Story 3 is a far better movie than WALL-E and Flying House, and at 103 minutes, it never ignores the audience's interest. There are action, thriller elements, and vivid characters, as well as a story that keeps moving forward. In short, it has everything a movie should have – humorous, touching, exciting, and ingenious. ”

- Los Angeles Times

"A genuinely joyful summer film, full of action, humor and nostalgia, worthy of the name of a hugely influential pop culture point and with a lively story."

-- Yahoo Entertainment

"Toy Story 3" has set off an unprecedented wave of praise for animated films.

The next day. The overall rating of the media is as high as 96 points, the Rotten Tomatoes website is 97% fresh, and only 3 out of 161 media have thrown Rotten Tomatoes: "Arizona Republica", "Box Office", "Christian Science Monitor", "Entertainment Weekly", "The Hollywood Reporter", "New York Daily News", "Movie Online", "New Orleans Times", "New York Journal", "Los Angeles Times", "Oregonian", "Time", "San Francisco Chronicle", "USA Today", "Wall Street Journal" and sites such as Yahoo Entertainment and American Salon all generously give away super high ratings of 10 or 9.

In the field survey of audience data of market research institutions that can best reflect the audience's reputation. "Toy Story 3" has the highest audience rating of A+, which is also the second film in North America to receive an A+ rating from the audience this year after "The Avengers".

For Duke and Time Warner, as long as the mainstream audience is willing to buy it, the rest can be tossed aside.

And the box office of "Toy Story 3" also aptly reflects this. Although the midnight show box office is only $8.8 million, this is an animated film, and it also set a North American box office record for an animated feature film!

By Friday's daytime, "Toy Story 3" was fully released on more than 8,200 screens in 4028 theaters in North America.

On the day of its opening, the film earned $48.15 million in North America, which also broke the North American premiere record for an animated feature film held by Pixar Studios. Even if you look at the world, this is an unattainable achievement for animated films in a single market.

And "Jonah? Hex" became a tragedy, Sony's Columbia Pictures blockbuster earned just over $2 million in North America in one day on Friday, which almost stopped the hearts of Sony Entertainment producers, and the bad reviews of the film's D- also prompted the famous Hollywood producer, the legendary Josh? Brolin, terminated good luck.

In contrast, "Toy Story 3" was applauded, and netizens posted their opinions on Twitter and Instant Share.

"As the finale of the Toy Story trilogy. The film arranges a heart-wrenching ending for Andy and the toys. For children, toys not only represent a joy of life and spiritual dependence, but also become an indelible life coordinate in the long road of life. “

"Maybe we can't experience the same dramatic dispersion with toys as Andy did, but at least the film reminds us of the toys that accompanied us through our lonely childhood. For most people, I am afraid that there is no chance to do the same as Andy, and whether their unknown fate will tug at your heartstrings under the inspiration of "Toy Story 3" is a litmus test of your childlike innocence and feelings. ”

When Andy passionately introduces Bonnie to these toys that accompanied him through an unforgettable childhood, the shock and melancholy generated here are comparable to the opening 10 minutes of "Flying House". And in terms of expression, it is more back to basics, and it comes naturally. The last 20 minutes of "Toy Story 3" alone are enough to immortalize the film, which is where the true value of Pixar animation lies. ”

For viewers who have seen the first part of "Toy Story", this movie is like a "Transformers" live-action movie that means too much to the tightropes.

"I watched "Toy Story" in the third grade of elementary school, and I watched "Toy Story 3" when I graduated from college...... I would say it's a gift from Pixar Studios to our generation. Goodbye, my childhood! Thank you, Woody! Thank you, Buzz Lightyear! Thank you, Pixar Studios! ”

"The touching thing about "Toy Story 3" is that it helps us old guys give us old guys a formal chance to say goodbye to childhood, when Andy, who is in college, once again carries Woody's cowboy, seventeen years of light and Y disappear into the sunset in the distance of the wooden gate house so friendly and gentle."

"At the end, when Andy counted his toys, I realized that I had grown up like this, and that I would never go back to the old days. "Toy Story" has left a mark on my heart since I was a child - it makes me feel that toys are small beings with feelings, and there are joys, sorrows and sorrows in dimensions that we don't know. And toys will bring me less pressure than real life, toys don't die, as long as you don't abandon them, so don't abandon them......"

Amid the acclaim, Toy Story 3 also made it through its first weekend.

$41.14 million on Friday; It slipped slightly on Saturday, but it also had $37.09 million; By Sunday, the decline had widened again, but the $32.06 million was impressive.

In the first three days, Toy Story 3 grossed $110.3 million at the North American box office!

As an animated feature film with a relatively long theatrical shelf life, such a first-week box office almost indicates that "Toy Story 3" is bound to be a super hit.

Overseas, Toy Story 3 has performed well in the UK, France, Germany, New Zealand, Australia, and even Latin America, but in the Far East, it has received a certain amount of cold reception due to its characters and the typical Western-style themes it contains.

Especially in the Chinese market where "The Avengers" has swiped 1.5 billion, "Toy Story 3" received a mediocre response, and in the first three days, it only got less than the box office.

Of course, this is not only the reason for "Toy Story 3" itself, the Chinese animated film market has not yet been fully formed, and the animated films that can sell well in China are not this kind of all-age animated feature films, but completely juvenile films specially made for children aged ten and even below.

However, even in the Far East, the overseas box office of "Toy Story 3" exceeded $200 million in the first week, and the global box office combined was as high as $328.99 million!

It's already a feat that would have allowed Duke, Time Warner and Pixar Studios to throw a celebratory party.

At a time when the box office of "The Avengers", which is a theatrical fast-moving consumer goods, turned flat, "Toy Story 3" once again pulled Warner's box office fortune journey.

When the time slowed down* in July, the cumulative North American box office of "Toy Story 3" reached more than 297 million US dollars, and the North American box office exceeded 300 million US dollars at hand.

The global box office of the film has reached a height of 624.71 million US dollars!

At this time, no one doubts that the North American box office of "Toy Story 3" can exceed $400 million, and the global box office can exceed $1 billion!

The finale of the Toy Story series inevitably creates the myth of animated feature films.

At the same time, the popularity of "The Avengers" is declining, and although the scale of theaters is still above 4,000, the film scheduling rate has long fallen below 30%, and the single-day box office has also slipped to the million-dollar level.

However, towards the end of June, "The Avengers" set a record for the fastest break of $600 million in North America. (To be continued.) )
