After the movie

1.            Do you like this movie? Why or why not?

After watching this movie, I think I like the story because there are lessons that we can learn from this story and one of it is sacrifice. For example, Woody joins the other toys  for the attic because he don’t want to disappoints them. Besides that , Andy willingly passes all his toys to Bonnie even he feel quite upset and surprise when he saw woody in the same box that he is going to give to Bonnie.

2.            What rating would you give for this movie?

4 out of 5 stars.

3.         What spoilers would ruin this movie if you told your readers about it?

There are some spoiler parts which are when Lotsy the hugging bear is the bad and evil character in this movie, Woody and his friends are saved in the climax part in the dumpster and To know that finally Woody and friends are being donated to another child and forever gone from his best pal, Andy.

4.         All movies teach a lesson (theme or moral). What did you learn from this movie?

      Firstly, no matter what, always sick together. This movie has shown a lot of friendship part Woody and friends gone through thick and thin to survive anything. And they always ended up success when they help each other out.

     Secondly, always knew that in the end, bad people never get what they wanted. Lotso, for example, the one who managed to change the system of the Sunnyville, where the new toys gets treated badly and the one closed to Lotso gets treated good all the time.

5.       What title would you give for your review?

          Enjoyable and fun.
