And if your family is yet even more behind the times than mine, really, go see it.
It must be a crazy time, to hang out with those folks at Pixar who write Toy Story. The toys find themselves in situations completely improbable, and yet, you root for them as if they are human characters on the edge of survival. They deliver lines ever so true to the characters that they are. And we laugh the entire way through. Until...
Woody and Buzz and those kooky toys of Andy's, they are as old as my kids. My kids have grown up just like Andy has. And if you don't cry as Andy goes off to college, I need to know why.
Towards the end Andy tells a little friend, "Now Woody, he's been my pal for as long as I can remember. He's brave, like a cowboy should be. And kind, and smart. But the thing that makes Woody special, is he'll never give up on you... ever. He'll be there for you, no matter what."

Not to mention, the Gipsy Kings version of You've Got a Friend In Me in Spanish cannot be missed!
It is not too late for you either.
Go see Toy Story 3.
