Disney on Ice – Toy Story 3

Posted on February 4, 2011 by Kaylene J

“Have you heard the buzz? The toys are back in town! Disney On Ice presents Disney�Pixar’s Toy Story 3!”

Toy Story 3 was by far one of my family’s favorite Disney movies of all time!

The release of the movie was timed perfectly with my oldest daughter heading off to college. In other words, it tugged at my heart strings…almost too much. I cried through much of the movie. It wasn’t just the story line and how it related to my life that got to me. My boys have always been Buzz and Woody fans. In fact, when Shawn was 2, he couldn’t say, “Jared”– so he called him “Woody”. This was because Shawn’s favorite character was Buzz. He knew Woody and Buzz were best buds…just like my boys. Watching Andy give away his toys because he was too old for them…well, that hit a little too close to home too. Gone are the days of tripping on action figures and superheroes. Video games and an iTouch have replaced them. Thankfully, my youngest girls still play, “Princess”, house, Rapunzel and dolls. I plan to enjoy every moment of that for as long as I can.

As a 2008 Christmas gift to Malia and Kassia, Steve and I took them to see, “Disney on Ice – Mickey and Minnie’s Magical Journey” in Boston.

They were completely captivated as they watched their favorite characters…

How can you not love the scene at the end of Toy Story 3 where Andy takes time out to introduce Bonnie to all his pals before he leaves for college? Brought tears to my eyes. Perhaps the best scene ever in a Disney/ Pixar movie.

I loved that scene too, Megan. In fact, I think that’s the part that hit me the hardest. Poetic.

Lisa Z.

My favorite has got to be when Barbie lures Ken in to the Dream House to put on a fashion show for her so she can keep from reaching the others!

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

LOL! Great scene, Lisa!

My whole family loved when the aliens saved them all at the end.” the claw”!

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

Love those aliens, Karen! My DD-6 was sobbing through the scene until the claw saved the day!

Lynda Gaudet

You have to love the part when they are at the dump and woody saves the pink bear. ( I can not reamber his name) It goes to show that even cartoons good prevails over evil.

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

I love how Woody saved Lotso too. I must admit I also like that he ended up tied to the front of a dump truck eating spattered bugs, LOL. Karma.

Liz A.

Our “family favorite” part of this great movie was when all the toys are in the incinerator facing their doom (or so they think), and then decide to grab hands and face it together. It showed the bond of these great characters, and that true friendship can conquer all!

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

Awesome scene, Liz. I loved that too.

leslie

Definitely the Ken fashion show!

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

Classic scene, Leslie!

marybeth

My daughter, Catherine’s ,favorite part of Toy Story 3 was when the Alien said “The Claw.” My son’s favorite part was when all the toys made the plan to get out of Sunnyside. And my favorite part was definitely the Ken Fashion Show.

Great scenes, Marybeth!

I haven’t seen Toy Story 3 but have seen Toy Story 1 and 2 love both Movies-Love Toy Story 2 the part when all the toys leave the house looking for “kidnaped” Woody and try crossing the street… What a raquet they caused!! loved when the tracktor trailer swerves and after all is done the light pole falls and they don’t even notice!! What a riot!

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

That is definitely a hysterical scene! You are going to love Toy Story 3!

Deirdre Eddy

We all Love the Ending When Andy gives his toys away to the little girl who loved her toys…The good ol Days when we all use to play toys and called it pretend : )

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

I loved this scene too, Dee. The sentimental Mom in me wanted him to keep Buzz and Woody for his own children someday.

Amy Emerson

Love love love the end. Andy is so sweet when he is giving his toys away. The end of an era! Great movie! Would LOVE for my kids to experience it on ice!

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

*sigh* “The end of an era”…so true and that’s what got to me the most in relating it to my own kids.

Jan Souweine

Oh dear……… a favorite scene. that’s difficult… probably my favorite and most sentimental is the ending when Andy gave away his toys. Woody and Buzz are still in this home! When Jay was little (and if he reads that I wrote this publicly he’ll be a tad upset – oh well, a Mom’s prerogative) he couldn’t say Buzz Lightyear.. here he has always been known as “Buzz on my ear”……………Never ever too old for Buzz!

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

Aww…”Buzz on my ear”…that’s so cute. I promise I’ll never tell Jay I love that scene too, Jan!

Dennis Murphy

my daughter’s favorite Disney scene is in Finding Nemo, where Dorie says ‘see you later Elmo’ to Nemo. Simple throw away lines like that really make a 3 year old laugh!

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

LOVE that scene, Dennis! Our 6 year old daughter is a huge Nemo fan

Randi S.

Our hearts sank when Andy who’s going off to college, gave the little girl all his toys so
she could enjoy them as much as he did!

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

I agree! This scene touched a lot of hearts.

Renee K.

Toy Story 3 is such a great movie! The best part for us was when Andy gave away his toys…a tear jerker! This movie was special because we had my niece and nephew from GA with us at the theater and this was my nephew’s first movie. My sister was nervous that she would have to leave with him…but the movie was so good (for all of us) that he was entertained and behaved perfectly. Now his favorite toy is Buzz…surpassed Thomas the Tank!

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

Awesome, Renee! Gotta love Buzz…your nephew is now following in Shawn’s footsteps

becky

I have no seen the movie yet (my husband is the movie watcher with the kids) but my favorite part of The Little Mermaid is when she is singing her part of that world song on the rock with the waves crashing around.

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

That is a great scene, Becky!

Tracey

I love most of the Disney movies and have MANY of them. My daughter and I used to collect them, her getting one on her birthday and Christmas every year. My favorite scene has to be when Bambi called the skunk a “flower.” It was soooo cute. My daughter and I used to watch Disney all the time, expecially when she stayed home from school sick. We would watch “The Little Mermaid.” The best part in there is when the father said “I need to pin that girls fins to the floor.” (or something similar to that…) I would love to have the chance to take my grandson to this and introduce him to the love for animation… like Disney!!!! Thanks for this oppertunity!!!

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

Disney movies have a way of bringing people together. How special that you used to enjoy them with your daughter on her sick days. Enjoy making new memories with your grandson!

Leiko

This was Leanna’s first movie on the “big screen.” We had a cute moment when she started chanting “Daddy says the good guys always win…daddy says the good guys always win…” during the scarey furnace scene. My favorite part was the escape, especially Mr Potato Head as a tortilla!

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

Leanna is adorable! Mr. Potato Head as a tortilla cracked me up, too!

Nicole Greene

My favorite scene is when Buzz goes into Spanish mode lol

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

Great scene, Nicole! The Spanish Buzz always cracks me up!

Amanda

My favorite part of the movie was when Andy brought the toys to Bonnie. My son and I both had a little cry for ourselves. He is 8 and he has loved Woody since he was 2. He still sleeps with his Woody doll. SHhh ……

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

Aww…love that he still sleeps with Woody! Enjoy that as long as you can.

sarah

We love when the aliens use the giant claw to save all the toys from being melted at the junk yard!

Awesome scene, Sarah!

Heather Lindberg

My favorite scene from Toy Story 3 was the end, when Andy gave his toys away and was explaining “who” his toys are to Bonnie. Made me think about my toys when I was little.

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

Loved that too, Heather…but I still wish he had kept Buzz and Woody for his own kids

Julie

Oh, of course my favorite part is when Andy passes his toys along…sniff, sniff.

http://memorymakermom.wordpress.com Kaylene J

This appears to be the most popular scene

I love the scene as they are all falling into the incinerator and they all reach out to hold each others hands… like even though it is the end they are happy to be together.
