Toy Story 3 Still Toping The Charts!
November 15, 2010
Toy Story 3 has been on the shelf for months but is still toping the sales charts for DVD sales. This stalwart of the industry is in line to break some records if it can keep up its extreme pace of sales.
The Toy Story series has always captured the imagination of children and adults but the latest movie in the series seems to really be connecting with families around the world. While a plethora of kids movies have been put out since the first Toy Story came out, nothing seems to be able to hold its own against Tom Hanks' blockbuster.
While the rest of the market ends up finding itself as discount DVD movies within weeks of its release, this monster has been able to stay well away from such a fate, and is largely able to keep the same asking price as the day it was released.
Tom Hanks made his name acting in some hugely popular movies from Philadelphia to Castaway and, his latest blockbuster, the DaVinci Code. But it seems that he really came into his own with the Toy Story series.
This wonderful series follows a group of living toys through their adventures of life as the humans around them continually shift their world in directions unknown! Although the toys have to pretend to be lifeless when their humans come around, they have their own unique lives and characters and the interaction between them creates new challenges for them to deal with!
As a fan of the Toy Story series myself, I can say without reservation that this series is a modern classic. And while the kids movies of the 90's was largely dominated by Disney, the children's' movie scene of the "Aughts" has been dominated by Pixar and other small studios.
Their constant creativity has kept most of their creations on the top shelf and away from being sold as discount DVDs.
While Disney has picked up Pixar and made it part of its corporate structure, it has largely retained its autonomy, and this has lead to extremely original and creative movies.
Toy Story 3 continues to lead the show, but I'm sure that we haven't seen the last of either Tom Hanks or the Pixar team. We can only hope that they are able to keep their originality, and will continue to drive us wild with the next modern classic!
