Toy Story 3

Introduction
I have decided to write about the 2010 3D-computer-animated comedy-drama blockbuster, Toy Story 3. The film was released to the United States public on June 18th 2010 and was produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios, it was based after the events after Toy Story 2 (1999) but focused more on a way to conclude the originally set to be trilogy.
Producer

The film was produced by Darla K. Anderson who also helped produce the original Toy Story (1995), as a film producer she was able to select several of the aspects of the overall film, such as selecting the script, directing and editing and even arranging the financing. Even though Anderson

Disney also released a DVD with Toy Story and Toy Story 2 on it in October 2009, the first full length trailer for Toy Story 3 was attached as a exclusive sneak peak. The actual placement of the trailer was also in order for there to be a match between campaign and audience. Since the people who went and watched UP were Pixar film fans, it means there’s more of a chance they would be interested.
Also because Toy Story 3 and UP are more targeted towards children it means that the age range would be the exact same which also helps extend the match of marketing and audience even more. Additionally after the trailer dropped it ended up creating a lot of hype as for the fan base to speculate what could happen in the film, Disney also starting posting very small hints of the new film on social media which was a platform most children use now

It has become the bestselling DVD in 2012, but it lacked in sales revenue and because of that it ranked second behind Avatar on that same list. In the United Kingdom it managed to break the record for the largest launch day for animated films in sales revenue on both Blu-ray and DVD. Furthermore on the first day of it being released on iTunes it had immediately become the most downloaded Disney Film ever. Toy Story 3 had grossed $1 billion making it the 18th highest grossing film of all time.
Toy Story 3 while being a blockbuster success didn’t really take into consideration the reviews by children with reviews saying such as “It was very sad, and it really shocked me. I am especially afraid of fire, so this is NOT a movie I want to see again” was just few of the many complaints people had with the film; others disagreed with the age ratings and claimed “It’s too low” while others mentioning how the dark storyline that Toy Story 3 decided to focus didn’t suit the Disney

    In the essay “What’s Happened to Disney Films?” author John Evans states the concerns of parents with regards to Disney motion pictures and how they are not as child-friendly as they were in the 1960’s compared to the 1990’s. Evans focus on the issues brought about in these films ranging from the use of profanities to violence, which should not be in Disney films. I understand the logic behind the authors position, he believes that the content of Disney films has taken a turn for the worse. Firstly, the author states that Disney has become a conglomerate having many subsidiaries and that it has had troubling effects on what Disney considers child-friendly.…

    The Cinderella Man Before the Great Depression had started, and when Twenties were still roaring on, James J. Braddock a.k.a. Cinderella Man , a pro-boxer and the father of three children, was winning fights and earning money.

    Are toy sections in stores specified to a specific gender? The store that I visited was Target. They had toys for a variety of children for instance, toddlers, boys, and girls.

    For reasons that defy logic, movie studios continuously attempt to build around the foundation of film classics. Take The Wizard of Oz for example – which in the last 3 years alone has garnered a prequel (Oz the Great and Powerful) and a sequel (Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return). And as you might expect, neither of those productions was able to fully harness the admiration and energy established by the 1939 classic. Sure, there’s plenty of other examples to use, as well – like virtually any sub-par Disney sequel that went straight to video, like Bambi II or The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride.…

    Salem Alfarraj Extra Credit “EC Media-Influences” Disney movies are a great way to teach children about morals and values that can help shape children’s characteristics and identity development. Children feel taken away to a fantasy world and parents certainly appreciate those movies for the benefits they carry and the lessons they teach. However, a great deal of Disney movies host gender roles and stereotypes that affects our generation. The Little Mermaid and Frozen are some of the movies we will analyze and explore to see how gender roles, gender behavior are being portrayed; and how these movies teach children the meaning of relationships and sex appeal.…

    The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark” Meets “The Lion King” Two Stories of Revenge To take a classic Shakespearian tragedy and turn it into a children's film seems almost beyond comprehension, however I intend to show how just that was accomplished with “The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark” by William Shakespeare and “The Lion King” a movie produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures. These media, classic play and animated children's film, are not as far separated as many may think. Each starts with a story they wish to tell. Each needs to make that story interesting to their targeted audience and each strives to make the point of their story comprehensible enough that their audience…

    Also, instead of being shown in theaters all across the country or world, Fantasia was only shown in twelve theaters for the first release. Walt Disney was always one for pushing boundaries on just about everything he knew or met, Fantasia being one of them. “He was the first to produce a talking cartoon, the first full Technicolor cartoon, the first full length feature animated feature, and with Fantasia he would push the boundaries of sound and the overall experience of going to the theater.” (McCormick). Fantasia is not like most films, when critics tried to be critical with it…

    Nowadays, Disney movies are a hit or miss: it is hard to live up to the motto “a film the entire family can enjoy” with every movie. Yet, Disney made an animated masterpiece when it created a utopia for zoo animals. Zootopia is caked with humor, layers of character development, a deep understanding of how stereotypes and racism affect society as the icing on top with bits of symbolisms being the cake topper. With these features and themes, Zootopia is Disney’s latest movie to engross more than its intended children audience. First and foremost, Zootopia’s humor can be appreciated by the entire family.…

    Introduction Frozen from Disney, with a worldwide box office more than $1.2 billion, it is not only proclaimed to be the first ‘princess’ movie to enter the list of top 10 grossing animated films, as well as the first animated film in these years. The characters and music are culturally omnipresent worldwide (Maryam & Yalda, 2015). After the movie was released, Disney continued to promote it with smart marketing strategies by seizing every opportunity. Catchy soundtracks and a well-conceived storyline, high demand for merchandise and accelerating popularity with DVD and digital downloads are some of the reasons people are still talking about Frozen (Beth, 2014). In this paper, I would like to explore the three main features of this film in…

    I decided to take a different approach to my critical film review. “Inside Out” is a recently new film that does not actually have an identified therapist or client. However, the main themes of the movie have many parallels to the content that we have been learning in class. “Inside Out” is a Disney Pixar movie that brings to life the five emotions (Joy, Anger, Disgust, Fear, and Sadness) of 11-year-old Riley. Life is seemingly going smoothly for Riley and her emotions.…
