It feels like it has at least one too many endings, there's just too much going on with sideplots galore. I'm not a Toy Story fan either though. Woody's a jerk and Buzz is so dumb it's annoying. I rank Toy Story as one of my least favourite Pixar movies!!!

Originally Posted By u k fan Not to derail the thread, but I find a lot of Pixar movies don't speak to me and yet I should probably be on paper one of their target demographics - 18-34 yr old male animation geek who likes pop culture. And yet, I still find a lot of them leave me cold in a way that Lilo & Stitch doesn't. There are exceptions to certain extents; UP, Nemo, Monsters Inc. and suprisingly Cars, but I'd never rank them in my top 5 animated movies and at best only 1 of those above might squeeze in to the top 10. A lot of Pixar movies leave me cold. I will say that watching the last reel of TS3 a few months after my sister died was tough. I was so jealous of those toys for getting one last play with Andy.

The fact that I don't really like Toy Story 3 doesn't make it a bad film, it is well made, and the fact it bums me out so much, shows how powerful it is. I will say my taste in them is different than you guys. My list would be: 1 Cars 2 Monsters Inc 3 Wall E 4 The Incredibles 5 Toy Story 2 6 Toy Story 7 Up 8 Bugs Life 9 Ratatouille 10 Finding Nemo 11 Toy Story 3 Although I love their shorts best of all.

What happened there??? And why do they think it is a good idea to introduce those ugly year designs in Paris now as well? Even if they chose a very German colour scheme for 2012... ;-)

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I prefer the lighter colour scheme. Dark colours were popular in Europe at the time, lighter colours were favoured in the USA. Still, darker colours require painting less often.
Originally Posted By Bolna Might sound a bit crazy, but I am very excited about the pavement updates!!! I think the latest picture looks very classy and I hope that it will stay in good shape for a long time. I remember when they started a huge re-pavement program in Munich's pedestrian zone about 10 years ago and then they said that it was about time to get new pavement in after 30 years - the pedestrian zone was new for the olympics in 1972. So if this is the standard duration for this kind of pavement, DLP should look great for the next 20 years on the ground!!

Originally Posted By dagobert Isn't it sad that I really get excited about the new floor. The old one just looked terrible and was such an embarassment for the resort. Compared to the other Disney resorts, DLRP has the nicest floors, especially on Main Street.
