Toy story 3 on DVD/Blu-ray

Toy Story 3 is the latest release to the trilogy "Toy Story".  Toy Story is a 1995 American computer-animated family film, the first Disney/Pixar film to be made, as well as the first feature film to be made entirely with CGI.

I saw this movie in theaters and it absolutely blew my mind. The animation in this movie is ultra realistic, and the characters facial expressions are dead on. I am planning on picking up the DVD just so I can check out all the special features on the DVD.
