Some Ball State Students will reach for the sky with excitement when the highly anticipated 'Toy Story 3' hits theaters this weekend.
AMC Showplace 12 hourly manager Billy Spurlock said he's expecting a high attendance for the film.
"I think we will definitely be busy because it has a 15 year fan base," he said. "It was Pixar and Disney's first animation, so it's special to a lot of people."
Summer ticket sales have been slow, but hopefully they'll pick up with 'Toy Story 3' because of Pixar's high standing with the public, Spurlock said.
"Pixar movies always have a broad appeal," he said. "I think it will bring parents with their kids in and a lot of college kids. It seems like Pixar never fails to bring everyone out."
Sophomore food and hospitality management major Ryan Cole said he will be one of many college kids to see the movie. Cole said he'll be in California this weekend, but he's going to see it with friends once he gets back.
"I want to see it because it's another reason to see Bullseye," Cole said, referring to main character Woody's loyal horse. "He is my favorite because he's just epic like that."
Cole said he doesn't think the film will take him back to his childhood, but he's thrilled for the third because he wasn't satisfied with the sequel.
"I was excited that there was a third because the toys need an ending that the second one didn't supply," he said.
Cole said hopefully the ending to the third movie will ensure that the films don't go to "infinity and beyond."
"I just want to see the story come around and [end] in a classy manner, where the toys are happy and there is no way to continue the story," he said.
Cole said he likes that the third film focuses on the toys' owner Andy going to college and thinks that the toys ending up at a day care will lead to an ending that will wrap the story up.
"The progression of the stories is correct and well thought out," he said. "But I hope they do not make another because my generation is when [the trilogy], started and it should end with us as well."
