Toy Story 3

Warning: May contain spoilers. Watch the movie first.

When Toy Story (TS) 1 came out, me and my siblings watched it around 6 times. It was that good. First CGI feature-length animation. The story wasn't too bad either. It's your classic tale of the old,faithful and loyal vs. the snazzy,more versatile character. In the end they both came out on top. Woody and Buzz both have very different characters and yet they still manage to be the best of friends. Woody is your loyal guy that will do anything for the sake of friendship. Buzz on the other hand is very objective in everything that he does so much so that everything is a mission for him. The whole ensemble is a contradiction of sorts as Rex is your timid dinosaur, and Mr Potato Head is your all-time-sour-puss. In toy story 3, Barbie is your empowered blonde American Woman. Just like Shrek, TS breaks stereotypes in such a way that you'll laugh about it. Ken was right on the money though. I'd imagine no less of how he was portrayed. Winner part: Mr Glow worm catching Barbie wearing heels and still thinking it's Ken. Tawa lang ako ng tawa. Twas a good break from work. Would like to watch it again 5 more times.
