Which Toy Story movie is the best?

I was 9 when Toy Story came out. Probably the same age as Andy or so.

Then when Toy Story 2 came out, I was 13 (4 years later) and I didn't see it. I thought I was "too old" ... you know that stage in life when you think you're too old to do things you used to like.

So when Toy Story 3 came out, I was 24 years old. I didn't go see it because I was an adult and even though I was getting back into animated films, I was too busy with my College Degree and career.

So in 2013, my son just turned 3 years old. I went back and watched the First "Toy Story" with him. HE LOVED IT. We watched it over and over. So I bought the 3-Pack Blu-Ray because I was tired of seeing the same one over and over.

We watched them in order one day. I nearly cried watching part 3. The ending was so emotional. I kept thinking "It's the best of the trilogy. How can they keep getting better? 2 was better than 1, then 3 was the best."

Now that I have overcame the initial 'emotional' feelings I got from part 3, and rewatched them again recently. 

I think "Toy Story 2" is the best overall film out of the trilogy. Don't get me wrong, it's like splitting hairs. They are all solid films. However, "Toy Story 2" has the most character development and growth. It also has a stronger allegory on life.

No, that was the second one. I just searched it to verify. The third one was always meant to be a theatrical release.

3 did have two scripts though. The first was about a recalled Buzz.

I almost agree because I think it has the deepest story: Woody's fear of death/temptation of immortality. But there's some little things that bug me, like the toys driving (real) cars. Even as a kid I thought that was just too far fetched and broke the illusion. But it's still a classic. It's good to see it get some praise.
