== Plot ==
One year after the events of Toy Story 3, Jessie decidedly rebels against being scared. The other toys play "The Fierce Dinosaur", to which Jessie angrily destroys the tower and leaves.
In a mysterious land, she is accompanied by five chinstrap penguins, a white tiger, a warrior named Olivia, an anthropomorphic rhino named Hero Rhino, and the love guru, Fameface. A bank robber named Stan steals a money train, but Jessie saves the day.
During the journey, they encounter several misadventures. The group stops for the night. Jessie learns that when she's brave, there's nothing she can't do, but is corrupted by a nightmare in which her old friends were old and wrinkly. Once out of her scary dream, Jessie realizes that morning light has come.
Meanwhile, Woody, Buzz, and the others start to worry about Jessie, so they go out to find her. Upon finding her, they capture her new friends, but Jessie loses her temper and orders them to stop before confessing that she is already brave. Heartfelt by this, the toys free them after a change of heart.
Just at that moment, a mama Pteranodon comes, due to the group having a baby Pteranodon with them. Jessie and Fameface use the baby as bait to lure the mama out of the mine, but the mama grabs Fameface and the baby. Jessie grabs onto them, but is unable to save both of them, so Fameface lets go to sacrifice himself, allowing Jessie more time to save the baby and the Wonderland. After the mama and the baby fly home, Jessie hugs her new friends goodbye and heads back home with her old friends. Back in Bonnie's house, "The Fierce Dinosaur" is rebooted, and Jessie declares that "When Your'e Brave, There's Nothing You Can't Do." Barbie and Ken go home as the film ends, and Ken stays to look at the credits.
