It's that confidence that confirms Toy Story 3 is a superb Double-A game. Then Toy Story 3 came out and showcased the team's talents in creating a truly vibrant representation of Disney worlds with an admirable sense of confidence.
Toy Story 3 finally allowed me to do that.īefore the birth of Disney Infinity, developer Avalanche Studios worked closely with Disney to create a plethora of movie tie-ins, ranging from passable to marginally above average. It was a scene I would always rewatch, rewinding the VHS tape to the point of death, and I always challenged myself to tackle that gauntlet if it ever came to fruition. It's quickly revealed that the whole episode is in fact a video game, played by a frustrated toy dinosaur called Rex, who constantly fails to complete the challenge. One particular moment that has always resonated with me was the opening sequence of the film, which involves Buzz Lightyear raiding his arch-nemesis Zurg's base. Woody, Buzz and Jessie - they were all there. The imaginative young boy that I was dreamt for years afterwards of being in that world, going on adventures with a cast of characters I knew back then as friends. Toy Story 2 was my first ever experience of the cinema.
