Toy Story Double Feature! 2 Movies For Price of 1! Well, Yes and No.



The Toy Story Double Feature is being advertised: "1 Ticket. 2 Movies. 3 Dimensions." And while the whole two movies for the price of one theory is intriguing, the actual price of the ticket is the really interesting part. Both films are being shown in 3D, which while entertaining to some (not to me), there is a "service charge" for those glasses that make everything appear twice and dark and make you distracted so that you're taken completely out of the story. In Milford, CT the ticket for a 7:30 PM screening is $14.75. In New York City, it's $16. And unlike other Pixar releases in 3D, like Up, the Toy Story Double Feature is only available in 3D, no 2D screens anywhere. So parents hoping to save a little money this weekend will be out of luck.

So, thanks but no thanks, Pixar. I'll settle for the old double feature: theater hopping.
