It was in 1995 that Toy Story signaled the arrival of Pixar, and the rest was history. To date, I have personally always found myself to have enjoyed all of their outputs, and it does seem that Pixar has indeed grown from strength to strength with sophistication in its graphics and attention to detail, but more so that their creative teams have always come out with solid stories to tell, which is always the key beneath all the glossy bells and whistles visuals.

And I simply love this installment, not only because it reunites us with the characters whom we have taken to heart as old friends, welcoming them back to yet another big screen outing, but because it has a moving story to tell, and has various elements from action-adventure, comedy and drama all rolled into one, allowing an outpour of a kaleidoscope of emotions as we journey for close to 2 hours with Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), Jessie (Joan Cusack), Mr and Mrs Potato Head (Don Rickles and Estelle Harris), Hamm (John Ratzenberger), Res (Wallace Shawn), Slinky Dog (Blake Clark) and the aliens (Jeff Pidgeon) for one last hurrah.

The storyline for all three Toy Story films may share some similar plot lines in having the constant fear of being discarded and unwanted when one turns old, or to obsess with the thought of being forgotten and unappreciated, and almost always comes with a distance to conquer. That continues here in stronger terms given that it's been some 11 years since the last Toy Story film, and that the toys' owner Andy has already outgrown the toys and have chucked whatever's left all into a treasure chest. Making things worst, he's about to relocate to attend college, and thus the anxieties that Woody, Buzz and the rest of the gang has to come to terms with, being provided 4 options of heading for the trash, the attic, being given away or being that rare toy that gets to accompany Andy to his new environment.

New toys get introduced by way of how the story got crafted involving a children's day care centre, where we get to meet up with the over-emphasized, metrosexual Ken (Michael Keaton!) from Barbie (Jodi Benson), and others such as the Lotso bear (Ned Beatty), together with those belonging to a new human character called Bonnie (Emily Hahn) who owns a cool plush Totoro (which doesn't speak of course)! Sequels tend to overcrowd their stories with plenty of characters, but it worked perfectly for this installment as other than those which get lines, there are plenty in the background that you may just spot a few that you too may have owned at some point in time. Things also aren't quite what they seem at the day care being the paradise for toys in constantly being played with and loved but never to suffer a heartbreak or to be left feeling unwanted, and provides the basis upon which the story develops, providing plenty of challenges for the gang to overcome (gotta love that Monkey!)

What's powerful about Toy Story 3 are the themes that get thrown in, such as that about loss, and the search and fight for things that are worthwhile. It emphasizes the bonds of friendship and courage, while tackling how the lack thereof in abandonment and the feeling of tremendous loss, can someone turn one into a bitter soul, which allowed for the film to take on tragic, darker consequences unseen in the earlier installments, while balancing the light hearted moments. We get to grow with the familiar characters a little more, while having new ones which are just as fun. Just ask Ken!

And a word of caution - prepare those tissues and hankies! Parting is such sweet sorrow, and the manner in which director Lee Unkrich deals with will definitely tug at your heartstrings. At least two scenes got to me, one involving facing a consequence of inevitable hopelessness that is a definite edge of your seat stuff only to remind you of how much you really care for the characters, while the other was what I deem as the perfect send off, an au revoir fit for closing the chapter on this Toy Story arc, while leaving room for another to happen (if it does). It moved, and shows how valuable it is to be loved again, and I thought it was pitch perfect. It would be interesting to know how the creators had intended to end the story, but it was brilliant to have chosen with what was.

Toy Story 3 is a must see, and it's contending for a space in my top 10 for the year. It's a sequel done right, a tale with a lot of heart, with elements encompassing what essentially is a fitting tribute and farewell to beloved characters that have blazed the trail for computer generated animation to take centerstage. As with all PIxar feature films, a short precedes the main feature, and "Day and Night", like the one offered in Up, comes without dialogue, but with plenty of imagination and again, a solid story for a well animated short film that only Pixar can.

Film ini sangat menyentuh hati, terutama bagi Anda para pecinta anjing. Judulnya adalah HACHIKO: A DOG’S STORY yang diperankan oleh Richard Gere. Film ini merupakan re-make dari film aslinya, Hachiko Monogatari tahun 1987.



Diangkat dari kisah nyata kehidupan Hachiko, seekor anjing ras Akita asli Jepang. Hachiko lahir bulan November 1923 di Odate, Jepang. Tahun 1924, Profesor Hidesaburo Ueno yang mengajar di bidang pertanian membawanya ke Tokyo dan memelihara Hachiko. Setiap hari mereka selalu pergi bersama-sama. Hachiko selalu menemani Profesor Ueno ke stasiun kereta Shibuya untuk pergi mengajar di kampus, dan pada sore hari Hachiko kembali datang ke sana untuk menanti majikannya pulang.

Pada bulan Mei 1925, Profesor Ueno terserang stroke fatal saat mengajar, ia pun meninggal dunia. Hachiko yang tidak mengetahui hal itu tetap datang menjemput majikannya di stasiun Shibuya dan menunggu dengan sabar meskipun Profesor Ueno tidak akan datang lagi.

Akhirnya istri Profesor Ueno memberikan Hachiko ke saudara untuk dirawat, tetapi Hachiko selalu melarikan diri dan datang kembali menunggu kehadiran Profesor di depan stasiun Shibuya setiap sore. Lama-kelamaan, pengguna kereta yang lain mulai memperhatikan kehadiran Hachiko yang selalu ada di sana pada jam yang sama, yaitu jam kedatangan kereta sore. Mereka sebelumnya sudah sering melihat Hachiko, mereka tahu bahwa Hachiko adalah anjing milik Profesor Ueno. Akhirnya mereka pun merasa kasihan dan memberikan makanan dan minuman bagi Hachiko selama ia menunggu.

Hachiko terus menunggu kedatangan Profesor Ueno setiap sore sampai 10 tahun kemudian. Akhirnya pada tahun 1935, Hachiko pun meninggal di depan stasiun Shibuya, tepat saat kedatangan kereta sore, di tempat di mana ia selalu setia menunggu Profesor Ueno untuk pulang bersama.

Pada bulan April 1934, Pemerintah Jepang mendirikan patung Hachiko yang terbuat dari bahan perunggu tepat di depan stasiun Shibuya sebagai perlambangan kesetiaan seekor anjing kepada majikannya. Namun pada masa PD II, patung tersebut dilebur untuk keperluan perang. Akhirnya pada tahun 1948, Takeshi Ando, yang merupakan anak dari seniman pembuat patung Hachiko yang pertama, kembali membuat patung tersebut.

Selain itu, patung yang sama juga didirikan di Odate, kota kelahiran Hachiko. Patung/boneka berisi kapas yang identik dengan Hachiko pun dibuat dan sekarang berada di Japan’s National Nature and Science Museum. Pemerintah dan rakyat Jepang sangat menghargai dan sering kali mengambil contoh loyalitas Hachiko dalam segala perbuatan mereka sehari-hari.

Pada bulan Mei 1994, Japan’s Culture Broadcasting Network memutarkan rekaman yang berisi suara gonggongan Hachiko yang dahulu sempat terekam. Mereka menggunakan teknologi laser untuk memperbaiki rekaman yang sudah parah kondisinya tersebut. Rakyat Jepang akhirnya dapat mendengar suara Hachiko setelah 59 tahun kematiannya.

Saat ini, setiap tanggal 8 April, rakyat Jepang selalu memperingatinya sebagai Hari Hachiko, hari di mana manusia bisa mencontoh sikap setia seekor anjing dalam kehidupan sehari-hari
