Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the rest of the toy gang return for a huge adventure!  Eleven years have passed and Andy is now a grown teenager preparing to set off for college.   Not only are all the toys gathering dust in Andy's room, but their hearts are saddened as they face the hard fact that Andy has outgrown them.  Andy's mom decides to donate all the toys to a local daycare center, known as Sunnyside, so that they can be played with by the daycare children.  They meet a new assembly of toys, including a purple octopus named Stretch, a scented teddy bear named Lotso and the original Ken doll.  The toys begin to miss Andy, so they hatch a daring plan to escape the daycare center and return to Andy’s house.  However, an evil gang of toys stop at nothing to make sure that Woody and the gang don’t escape the daycare center.       

"Toy Story 3" is a funny and touching movie, but surprisingly darker than most of the Pixar films.

“The Karate Kid” is a good movie and teaches respect and how to stand up for what you believe in.  It also teaches a lesson to always get back up, even when life pushes you down.
