Hmm, feeling a little cheated here, honestly. Like I said before, missing pieces is just part of the game when getting 99¢ puzzle at Value Village, but this is just disappointing. A couple of pieces are understandable but this shouldn't be in circulation anymore. I think there will be worse examples to come, but this is one of the worst examples.
This is also another harbor puzzle. That makes 3 out of 9, and I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out to 33% on the final tally. Hope you like boats!
Speaking of disappointment, that's the feeling I get when I watch the Royal Tenanbaums. I know its well regarded classic and viewed by most as Wes Andersons best (at least I think it is?), but I've just never really liked it that much. I really love Rushmore, and quite like Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom, and Bottle Rocket, but my ability to enjoy his style seems to balance precariously on the edge between delightful and unpleasant. Not a bad movie at all, I just don't care for it. C+
You will not be disappointed with Toy Story though! I think I've went into each Toy Story movie with the expectations of being impervious to the attempts to pull at my heart strings but every time I fail and wind up getting emotional at its poignant messages about our lives. I think all Toy Story movies will show up on these puzzles, but you'll have to wait a while, and suffer through plenty of trash until then. A-
