As stated above people here are not interested in Toy Story 3 because they think it's for kids. Putting a lot of advertisement everywhere was all in vain. It's surprising how people in here treat every Disney/Pixar movie as a children's movie. Russians always liked Shrek franchise more. They think it's a comedy for adults. Simply as that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-19751530041544004962010-07-05T14:09:45.660-07:002010-07-05T14:09:45.660-07:00If a Pixar movie does better than a DreamWorks mov...If a Pixar movie does better than a DreamWorks movie, it's because the public has good taste.

Though many of animation enthusiasts who saw this animated feature are delighted by the 11th Pixar's hit, the majority of Russians are not interested in it at all. I don't know why but perhaps they thought it is for kids only. They preferred Shrek Forever which took more than $50 millions in Russia.<br />I watched the third chapter of Toy Story two times already and loved it!Russian Insiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01133518448381755495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-70894171810752793802010-07-02T00:44:12.517-07:002010-07-02T00:44:12.517-07:00I told you it doesn't mean anything... ;)
