    I like the toy soldiers best i think. Why? because i find them humourous


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20 RawTruth


    for 2 tickets please


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 500 ✭✭✭warrenaldo


    It has to be Rex the dinosaur for me. I love the way he is so innocent. A family ticket please.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3 hardtoforget


    Mr Potato Head 'Look I'm a Picasso' (seems everyone realises he's the best) (4 tickets please!)


  • Registered Users Posts: 122 ✭✭Burswood


    My favourite is Hamm the piggy bank guy. He always makes me laugh :D

    4 tickets would be so cool. My family and I are absolutely dying to see this movie! Both myself and my brother grew up with the Toy Story movies. Mum would always put on the original Toy Story when we were sick. It would always cheer us up. It'd be a special moment for all of us if we all got to see it :)


    edit: Just out of curiosity, when will winners be announced? Thank you :)

    Good comp

    Mr. Potato Head

    He's sarcastic, broken but always bounces back just like me
    4 tickets please

    Btw first post from my iPhone


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 856 ✭✭✭Carl Sagan


    The soldiers! They leave no man behind! 2 tickets please.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,781 ✭✭✭amen


    Well I would have to say I quite like Emperor Zurg even though he only appears for brief moments of time.

    I particularly like the scene where Buzz No 2 and Zurg reconcile and appear to live happily every after. The scene where they play catch is great.

    If I was lucky enough to win I would like 4 tickets please (2 daughters , wife and I). My daughter love the other two films with Woody, Buzz and Mr Potatoe head the favourite characters.

    I would love a Family Ticket.

    Has to be Woody as my two year old is obsessed with him!

    In fact he is obsessed with Toy Story full stop so it would be great to be able to bring him to the advanced screening :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,231 ✭✭✭Fad


    Rex

    4 would be lovely :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 317 ✭✭Hondo75


    Big fan of the Pizza Planet Aliens.. waiting for the Claw to go on to a better place.. 3 tickets please.


  • Registered Users Posts: 21 Berks


    Sarge and his Bucket 'O' Soldiers, Never leave a man behind!
    4 tickets please!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,512 ✭✭✭baby and crumble


    oooOOOooooh... I have to say, my favourite character is tourguide barbie, first seen in toy story 2. her information clip at the end of the movie is just so good- "oh my gosh my face is aching! I need a drink! A little drink? okay!" Just priceless.

    Oh, and 4 tickets would be beyond awesome, but 2 would be fab too!

    :D:D:D:D:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 barca101


    Hamm of course...
    4 tickets please, kids will be in Toy story heaven.

    4 Ticket please for the small kids and big kids alike....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,766 ✭✭✭bazwaldo


    So hard to pick a favourite but it has the be Buzz Lightyear. For being a space ranger, having a laser and for "falling with style". 4 tickets please :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 6 Rie0107


    I'm going to say Rex. He's called Rex and he's a Tyrannosaurus Rex, it's genius. I'd like a family ticket if there's one please. I'm so excited.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 64 ✭✭thundercatho


    4 Ticket please for the small kids and big kids alike....

    Favorite character has to be MR POTATO HEAD & MRS POTATO HEAD


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28 sirpipalot


    It has to be Woody, everyone else has their moments and one liners but when Woody realises that being there for Andy is far more important than heading to a museum, well it gets me every time. The fact that a child playing with a cowboy and a space ranger and making it work in his own imagination means more to Woody than a complete collection worth millions easily puts him in my number one spot.

    Damn Pixar makin' me cry!

    2 would make me ever so happy

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,587 ✭✭✭hshortt

    4 tickets for the family please would be wonderful.


  • Registered Users Posts: 716 ✭✭✭phil1nj


    Has to be Buzz lightyear! Something about Space Rangers with dimples brings out the child in all of us. The kids just love him because he's cool!!

    4 tickets would be great!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 225 ✭✭ilovetorun


    Excellent competition!!
    I love Mr Potato Head!
    4 please!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 321 ✭✭Little A


    Adam (aged 9) - "the 3 aliens are my favourite 'cos they bug Mr Potato Head out"


    We'd love 4 tickets (would it be really rude to see if you can stretch to 5 so my hubbie can come too....not a prob if you can't)


  • Registered Users Posts: 196 ✭✭RoRoCullen


    Woody is by far my favourite.

    He's the imperfect team leader, who has major anger management issues! Yet I still love him more than the rest. He's brave and loyal to his friends.. And is definitely my favourite Toy Story character.

    Ever since I was a child watching Toy Story 1 and 2 over and over again, I always wanted my own Woody doll, but typically they'd be sold out as quick as you can say ''To infinity and beyond!''. But luckily enough, as one of my Sixth Year Graduation presents I got a Woody doll!

    Here he is on my window sill waiting for me to come home:

    A2216A0DBC904C37A1C4FA8FCC8838A8.jpg


    A family ticket would be amazing! But two tickets would also be great, at least my 11 year old sister will be happy , bringing her toy Slinky the dog along with her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,261 ✭✭✭Kalimah


    I love Rex for his defeat of Zurg and his excitement at getting him at last.
    Would love 2 tickets please.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Rex because like me, he is a dinosaur.

    If I win i'd like 4 tickets if possible


  • Registered Users Posts: 257 ✭✭Jumbo156


    I love Mr & Mrs Potato Head!, they are cool and I love they way she got all sentimental when Mr was going out looking for woody....Like soldiers going to war!

    4 Tickets please, 2 happy kids and 2 even happier parents!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 633 ✭✭✭clevtrev


    has to be buzz lightyear every time ... How dare you open a Space man's helmet on an uncharted planet? My eyeballs could have been sucked from of their sockets!

    Thanks a lot,
    Mrs Hen.

    Buzz Lightyear is The Man! My kids favourite.

  • Registered Users Posts: 274 ✭✭merc230ce


    Rex definitely, I love his neuroticism!
    ('Oh great, now I have GUILT!!' :-)

    4 tickets please!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,600 ✭✭✭00112984


    Mr. Potatohead here too.
    Specifically because I'm a big fan of the actor John Ratzenberger (Cliff from Cheers) who does his voice and is the only actor to voice a character in all of Pixar's movies. Despite having seen pretty much all of them, Mr. Potatohead is the one I always most identify him with.

    Four tickets if possible, pretty please.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 214 ✭✭fransdev


    Ofcourse Rex the Dinosaur, but all the characters are Brilliant



    4 tickets please and a big thank to Boards, Disney and Barnardos...

    Has to be Wheezy the squeezy penguin who lost his squeak, put up on the shelf cause he was too old but rescued by Woody and got his squeak back "just like me "


    Family ticket woody be great :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh


    Rex is the best
    What if Andy gets another dinosaur? A mean one? I just don't think I can take that kind of rejection!

    Hes so afraid of not being scary and fierce and constantly thinks andy will replace him.
    Rex: ROAR!
    Woody: Hey, how ya doin', Rex.
    Rex: [stops roaring] Were you scared? Tell me honestly.
    Woody: I was close to being scared that time.
    Rex: I'm going for fearsome here, but I just don't feel it! I'm think I'm just coming off as annoying.

    :)
    If i got tickets id just want 2


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭we'llallhavetea_old


    my daughter says she likes bullseye the best because she's mad about horses and she says that he walks funny on the record player and she loves it :)

    personally i love mr potato head "i'm a married spud, i'm a married spud"

    "Save it for the jury! I hope Sid pulls your voice-box out, you creep!"

    and i love the part where mrs. potato head shoves the play doh in his back and it spills out his ears.

    we cannot wait for toy story 3! :D

    2 or 4 tickets, i don't mind.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,788 ✭✭✭Mark Hamill


    Andys mom is my favourite character. Why you ask? Its simple. She is one of the greatest movie villains I have ever seen. It is her, who time and time again has tried to get rid of Woody, jealous of the time Andy spends with him, all the while keeping total secrecy.

    Firstly by instigating a "toy class" rivalary between upper level antiquated Woody and lower level mass produced Buzz. She knew that Andy, being a child would be distracted by the crass and flashy Buzz, giving her time to dispose of Woody, all the while planning on Andy getting tired of Buzz, who he had no emotional growing-up ties to. The glee she must have felt when both went missing at the same time. She was had Andy all to herself, ready to mold him into the good boy that she needed to run a motel that she was soon to inheret in remote Arizona. You could hear the heartbreak at the end of the first film when they turned up in the car.

    In the sequel, she goes all out and sets a plan to sell Woody while Andy is away, firstly by injuring Woody so he cant accompany Andy, then by enticing him outside using a variation of the "wounded soldier" tactic (when hunting a group of soldiers, after capturing one, injure it and use its cries for help to entice the others to help him, this is used in the new predators film), using a Wheezy penguin. She then sells Woody to a scrupulous toy fanatic, (who she recognised from TV and had previously searched on the internet and found out that he collected Woodies type of toys and was planning to sell them to a Japanese museum, you can just tell). She didnt expect that the other toys didn't just sit back and let their leader be removed and went and rescued him.

    And now we have Toy Story 3. The toys are no longer sitting back and deciding to act first to stop Mom once and for all. They cant do it themsleves, so they hire a ragtag group of mercenaries to do the job: smooth ladies man Ken, strong man aviatophobic Trixie, Insane pilot Mr Picklepants and Buttercup, the one who likes it when a plan comes together (or so I am lead to believe).

    Who comes out on top? I dont know. But I do know it will be a wild ride not to be missed and I would like two tickets please :).
