If Pixar is the only sure thing in movies today — and it is — then the “Toy Story” franchise is its most reliable component. So while it’s not exactly a surprise to say that “Toy Story 3″ is everything you hoped it would be, it is something of a relief.

For as survivors of say ” The Godfather, Part III” remember, the third time can be the death knell for a much admired series. “Toy Story 3″ has prospered where others have faltered because it has simultaneously stayed true to its roots and expanded its reach. And because in ways both small and large the people behind the franchise simply love movies to death.

Directed by Lee Unkrich and starring the familiar voices of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Don Rickles, Wallace Shawn and the rest of the toy gang, “Toy Story 3″ pays attention to the reasons we return again and again to the motion picture experience.

As written by Michael Arndt, an Oscar winner for “Little Miss Sunshine,” “Toy 3″ manages to offer jeopardy and thrills plus unexpected moments of melancholy while never forgetting to have the most fun possible. Best, and most characteristic of Pixar overall, it understands genuine emotion and is not afraid to get it up there on the screen.

On one level the story of a group of toys trying to live up to their responsibilities and deal with change, on another a treatise on the end of childhood and the importance of love and meaning in life, “Toy 3″ continues to do the impossible by making us believe that toys are people too, idiosyncratic individuals with lives and minds of their own. The film’s unobtrusive 3-D version enhances this reality without calling attention to itself.

Director Unkrich was an editor on the original “Toy Story” and co-directed “Toy Story 2,” but that is not the only way franchise continuity has been maintained. A “Toy Story” brain trust, including executive producer John Lasseter and producer Darla K. Anderson, met to block out the main action, Andrew Stanton (who co-wrote the first two scripts) then did a treatment, and finally Arndt, who’s worked for Pixar since 2005, took on the script.
