    Ah, I see Toy Story has made its way onto the list! Nice job Brady! I love that song as well. It's a real classic for me, a kid who grew up on Toy Story 1 and 2.

    Me as well. Toy Story is my childhood and I find myself in the same position as Andy in 3, close to leaving for college. It is a special film series close to my heart, and brings back memories of my own adventures with my Woody and Buzz toys when I was little. Hearing 'You've Got A Friend In Me' warms my heart and makes me smile.

    Yes, those Woody and Buzz action figures were the stuff way back when! I used to always carry around Woody and Buzz wherever I went, they were definitely "don't leave home without it" items!

    The whole essence of this forum is being "judgmental". We hate certain parts of the Bond franchise and like others, that's being "judgmental" as well. I don't even get what you were trying to say with that. I saw the musical tastes on this thread, they were pretty awful, I formed an opinion. Simple as that.
