The friggin' incinerator scene! Holy shit, how the hell did this get past the execs? What was a generic climax became a relentless spiral into hopelessness. It goes on for ages, and eventually the characters resign themselves to their fiery fate and hold hands, content with facing their death together as a united family. It honestly makes you wonder, "Woody and Buzz are about to go out like this?" It was uncomfortable, it was gruesome, and it was damned brilliant. Not even the deus ex ruins it; If anything, it's pretty cathartic. The aliens get tons more respect points from me now.

The whole escape plot was handled just as excellently as everything else. An espionage war was a great vehicle to showcase all of the toys interacting with each other and strutting their stuff. And the suspense of trying to break out of a prison-like compound was gladly interrupted or accompanied by some comedy that really worked-- Ken's fashion show, the tortilla, and the Cymbal Monkey guard. Oh, do I absolutely love Cymbal Monkey guard; Most hilarious nightmare fodder ever.

I actually thought that was it for them, my heart was beating like crazy and I was totally frozen in my seat. That scene was brilliant in every sense of the word and completely unpredictable. In fact the whole film was, I didn't think for a moment I knew what was going to happen.

I think the hardest moment for me was seeing Andy playing with Bonnie with his toys, it was for those moments that he was a child again, just like old times. Then Bonnie, who is holding Woody makes him wave and you hear Andy gasp in yearning.. oh God, I'm crying again.. that was painfully beautiful.

Before seeing the film, I saw loads of people commenting on Sid's supposed cameo as the garbageman who ties Lotso to his truck. It's in fact a different garbageman; Sid's the thin one, clean shaven and with headphones in his ears who bangs on the lids. The one who ties Lotso to his truck is less hyper and more 'average'.
