Being a fan of the Toy Story
series of animated movies, I
arrived at Power Balance
Pavilion here in Sacramento, on
Wednesday night for Feld
Entertainment's production of
Disney on Ice Toy Story 3 with
mixed feelings.
First off, would the costumes do
the story justice and secondly,
would the overall presentation of
the characters mimic what I had
seen in the films? Those were
my biggest pressing questions as
I entered a very crowded lobby
teaming with children and adults
of all ages.
