They may not be must see but are definitely should see. While we are on movies, I just saw Toy Story 3 and came away thinking that it was probably the best of the 3. I was blown away. Much better than I expected. It was a stand alone script that I thought was as good as any of the pixar films. It is a must see.

It is a must see.>> Definitely a must see, as all Pixar movies are, but it was definitely the "worst"(which means nothing, since it's still better than 99.9% of movies that have been released in the past 20 years) of the three in my eyes, for reasons I won't go into because of spoilers. And it was probably in the middle of the pack as it pertains to all of Pixar for me.

For me this was the perfect ending. The cycle has started again, and it will continue forever. There's no need to ruin that happy, perfect moment.
Originally Posted By CarolinaDisneyDad I agree it would be a perfect ending. But for me personally I don't want to give up these characters. I'm attached to them and will be the first to admit that I don't have the objectivity to know when this story has run its course.

I think the best course of action, IMO, is to do a series of shorts, or even a TV series. I don't think any more films would be a good idea, at least from a cinematic viewpoint.

And I loved seeing Woody run around a bathroom. It made me wish we could get a Toy Story bathroom attraction in Fantasyland Expansion Phase 5.
Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 I loved TS 3. Thought it was GREAT! I still like TS 2 better, but that's by a hair. This really was the perfect trilogy and hopefully that will be it. While I could see another film, the story has been told ... it isn't needed. Damn near pefect film, like the previous 10 from E-ville. You ain't never going to see a streak like this again.

Originally Posted By MPierce >> >>>That description of Twilight you gave Dave, kind of reminds me of a show that was on TV over 12 years ago. It was about a town of werewolves I think in the Northwest. It starred Lou Diamond Phillips, and a couple of other recognizeable actors. I thought it was pretty good, but I guess the network executives disagreed. It didn't even last the whole season. I just can't remember the name of that show for the life of me.<<< >> If you could MPierce, that sounds great (also a LDP fan). << Wolf Lake.
Originally Posted By MPierce >> >>Is that the one with Sir Anthony Hopkins Lee?<< Yep. Hopkins and Del Toro. It's very reminiscent of an old thirties horror film....but with way more blood and entrails. << Thanks for the tip Lee. I'll give it a go. I love horror movies when they're well done or the classic B movies of the 50's.

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer Hah! Good point. I would love to see them do something NOT based in synergy, though. Create a story for an attraction in a park. I bet it would be incredible.
