I remember the huge hype for Toy Story numero uno. Disney-Pixar's first brainchild. It debuted on a Friday so all us neighborhood kids loaded up in the mini vans and stood in line for 2 hours. We all stood there with popsicle stained t-shirts and cut off jean shorts, baking in the summer heat. And then the show was sold out.We had to wait til it came out on VHS.
But think about it. TS 1-2-3 has taken us, the Gen Y, the Boomerangers, the social-media-technologically-cracked-out generation, through our prime check points in life. From our imaginative days of cardboard box castles, dinosaurs and now it comes full circle in Toy Story 3 with the college years. It's like watching the story of my life. Buzz, Woody, little Andy...who thought that this motley crew would be the allegorical figureheads (or Potato Heads) of our lives? In fact. I've seen Miz take out his cowboy hat every now and then, you know - for old time's sake.
Not for nothing. I've already Fandangoed my tickets for Toy Story 3.
