Summer Entertainment Report Cards: Movies – Toy Story 3
Just when you thought that Pixar couldn’t perfect another timeless movie, they’ve done it again.

But rather than staying in bed or camping out in the library, grab winter by the horns – or rather, the icicles – and embrace it. Many people opt to stay in, make a nice cup of hot chocolate and a snack, and let the nostalgic TV reruns roll.
