| I agree about Lotso being pretty much a Stinky Pete retread, too.  But perhaps since I don't recall there being a Stinky backstory, Lotso struck me as different enough once his motivations were made clear.  
 I don't much care for TS2, so perhaps Stinky Pete did have a backstory ... but Lotso's added some pathos to his character that I don't recall feeling for Stinky Pete.
 
 
 
 Ok, if Strangler Lewis wants a sad ending, that's his perogative.  But the ending was one of the best movie endings I've ever seen, and I think the world pretty much agrees.  For once (and it takes one to know one), I can point at someone else and scream, "CURMUDGEON!"
