The toys at Sunnyside welcome them led by Lots o’ Huggin’ Bear or Lotso. Ken, who was supposed to be giving them a tour, is smitten by Barbie. Lotso escorts them to eh caterpillar room where the new toys stay. Convinced that the daycare is a better place than the attic, the other toys decided to stay leaving Woody no choice but to go home alone to Andy. Woody ended up being tuck in a tree and a little girl named Bonnie sees and keeps him. They toys were so excited to have kids play with them only to find out that the kids are too young to appreciate them so they were innocently tortured – Rex loses his tail, Jesse’s hair becomes a paint brush and Buzz got drooled at.

Buzz decided to talk to Lotso about this but when he found out that the other toys knew about this all along, Ken, Big Baby and the others reset his functions and is now back to his old self – not knowing any of his friends. Bat at Sunnyside, Mrs. Potatohead, with her other eye let at Andy’s room, sees that Andy is looking for them. Woody was right all along. They want to get back and they The others asked help from Lotso so that they could leave asap for Andy only to find out that Lotso have done something wrong with Buzz. They are now imprisoned, with Buzz as their jail guard.

Woody meets Bonnie’s toys and from them he knew that Sunnyside is a toy prison. Here, he also met Chuckles – Lotsa’s comrade. It turns out that Chuckles, Big Baby and Lotsa have the same owner – Daisy. On a trip she accidentally left them. When Lotso and the others finally went back to Daisy’s, he found out that a new Lotso was given to her. Filled with contempt, Lotso was convinced that daisy replaced him. Thanks to Trixie, Woody found out that Sunnyside is just around the corner.

At Sunnyside, Chatter Telephone tells Woody that it is best to lie low than try to escape. He tells woody that he can unlock door, jump over fences but if he doesn’t get rid of the monkey who surveys the place, he will not succeed. Woody, with the team, formulated a plan to escape to the garbage chute – the only way out of Sunnyside. With the help of Barbie, they were able to figure out what happened to Buzz, thanks to Ken. They reset Buzz but to his Spanish factory set up. Because of this, he lost his inhibitions and confesses his liking for Jesse.

On the garbage chute, when they were about to escape, Lotso and his henchmen were able to catch up ion them. Woody convinces the henchmen of Lotso’s treachery. Broken, Big Baby, he throws Lotso in the dumpster. However, Lotso pulls Woody into the dumpster just before a garbage truck arrives, forcing the others to rescue him. In the ordeal, Jesse was almost rapped but the valiant Spanish Buzz saves her. A broken TV falls on him returning him to his normal setting.

The gang finds themselves on a converyor belt in a dump site. The belt isolates metals from the junk so the tioys help on to whatever metal they could find before they got eaten by the shredder. Woody helps Lotso escape with them. But they arrive on a more difficult challenge – the incinerator, Lotso was in a perfect place to save them by pressing the stop button but he left all of tehm behind. Giving up, the sotys held hands to be with each other until the end. Finally, a giant claw operated by the aloens from planet pizza rescuses them. Back on the dumps, Lotso is found by a garbage man and tied him to the front of a truck, to his dismay.

The toys return to Andy’s house in time before ha drives off to college.

Woody he leaves a note to Andy suggesting he donate his toys to Bonnie. Bonnie and Andy play together before Andy leaves. Woody and the gang found a new home with new found friends. Ken became the new head of the toys in Sunny side and every toy was now happy.

Toy Story 3 Movie Review

Toy Story 3 was worth the wait. If all movies were given this just finale, all movies should be in trilogies. The trilogy is just right to test the friendship between Andy and his toys and the toys amongst themselves. Toy Story 3 successfully ticked our funny bones with Ken’s vanity and Buzz’s Spanish mode but most of all, it tugged our heartstings with the fact that we also love/d toys and maybe, just maybe, they have feelings too. This is one good movie that is able to teach a moral lesson without slapping it right in the viewer’s face but rather just by tickling what is in the viewer’s heart from the beginning.

We all became kids once and had toys and we all had to grow up and give our toys up – a lot like relationships. Toys or no toys, we have things and people who come and go and we must learn to move on. This universal truth is what is discussed in this film and coupled that with superb animation, Toy Story 3 is a blockbuster.

Woody’s leadership skills didn’t waver and the fancy moves are quite amazing. Buzz is his old self until we appreciate him more when he is on Spanish mode. Jesse and the rest of the gang, with Barbie, proves again to be a great team. Ken is such a character and his loyalty to both his comrades and Barbie keeps him “human” – objective and subjective at the same time. His antics are so loveable considering he is a girl’s toy (which he insists he is not)

A day care is the perfect place for toys and an unlikely place for a Mafia-like character but we have Lotso. But surprisingly, he is one of the most heartfelt characters. He is the main antagonist but because we know where he is coming from, it is heartbreaking to see him end up in front of a truck. It seems like he deserves some happy ending too – a reconnection with the old daisy perhaps? Or a new found kid who teaches him about abandonment. As a teddy bear so soft, he has a heart of stone. Because teddy bears are so huggable and loveable, they are also is the first to be torn (physically especially) when abandoned. The ironic is so real, you can bite on it and it is beautiful.

Because the story is so compelling, it entices the mind to think of what ifs. What if Woody goes to college. Will there be Toy Story 4? Now that Woody and the gang have a new owner, will there be Toy Story 4? If Bonnie accidentally left them, will there be a Toy Story 4?

Toy Story is best left a trilogy though. It is best to leave the rest to the moviegoer’s imagination because that is when things become beautiful – like when a kid plays with his toys.

Toy Story 3 Trivia and Posters

Below are the studies for the movie posters. The first one serves as a teaser with the familiar font and colors. The movie also has posters bearing each of the characters holding or showing the number 3.

Lee Unkrich who edited the previous films and co-directed the second, was selected to take over the position of director from John Lasseter.

Blake Clark became the new voice of Slinky Dog, replacing Jim Varney, who died in 2000. Clark was good friends with Varney prior to his death.

The first Pixar film to be released in IMAX.

Originally, a sequel was planned when it seemed that Disney and PIXAR would split over creative differences in 2004-2005. Disney started up an animation division titled ‘Circle 7,’ which would have been in charge of churning out sequels for PIXAR films that would not involve the original creators at PIXAR. Entertainment Weekly published an article that said the original plot for Toy Story 3 was going to be about Buzz Lightyear having a defect. Buzz would then be shipped to Taiwan to be fixed, but the other toys find out that the toy company is just replacing the broken Buzz toys with new ones, so they ship themselves to Taiwan to rescue him. This script had to be canned when PIXAR and Disney made amends. Part of their agreement was not to further develop projects that had been planned during their fallout.

The A113 logo thats pops up in most of the Pixar films makes an appearance on a license plate on the back of Andy’s Mom’s car.

The Ken doll in Toy Story 3 is modeled after “Animal Lovin” Ken from 1988.

Lee Unkrich and the animation team agreed to shave their heads before working on the film.

All the returning characters were re-developed from scratch.

SPOILER: The plot of the movie is loosely based on the original treatment for Toy Story (1995), which had Tinny (from Tin Toy (1988)) getting lost at a rest stop and being found by a junk man, who throws him into back of his truck. Tinny meets a ventriloquist dummy and they both decide to stick together. But in the end they end up in a preschool where they’ll never get lost or outgrown.

G-FORCE and TOY STORY MANIA! allow the player to choose to turn on special 3-D features in the games while wearing the enclosed 3-D glasses. Using the anaglyphic 3-D glasses, players will see the action extend forward from their television screens in a three-dimensional perspective while playing the games. Two sets of 3-D glasses will be enclosed in each package for players to experience visuals that seem to pop out from their television sets.

“Like the 3-D effects in some feature films, the goal for adding 3-D in G-FORCE enabled the two miniature creatures — guinea pig Darwin and housefly Mooch — to appear to come forward from the screen, which creates a unique experience for the player,” said Neuman.”The dawn of three-dimensional technology in films has taken over the Cineplex and it’s obvious that video games are the next medium to see this trend.”
