Toy Story 3 is a 2010 American 3D computer-animated comedy-adventure film. It is the eleventh movie released by Pixar and the second sequel to Pixar’s first movie Toy Story. It was released by Walt Disney Pictures and it was directed by Lee Unkrich. The film was released in theatres worldwide from June through October in Disney Digital 3-D, RealD and IMAX 3D. Toy Story 3 was also the first film to be released theatrically with 7.1 surround sound. Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Don Rickles, Estelle Harris, John Ratzenberger, Wallace Shawn, Jeff Pidgeon, Jodi Benson, R. Lee Ermey, John Morris and Laurie Metcalf reprise their roles from the first two films. Jim Varney, who played Slinky Dog in the first two films, and Joe Ranft, who portrayed Lenny in the first film and Wheezy in the second film, both died before production began on Toy Story 3. The role of Slinky Dog was taken over by Blake Clark (a friend of Varney), while Ranft's characters, Bo Peep (Annie Potts’s character from the first two films) and various others were written out of the story. (Though some of them were kept in the beginning of the film.) New characters include performances by Ned Beatty, Timothy Dalton, Kristen Schaal, Bonnie Hunt, Whoopi Goldberg, Jeff Garlin, Richard Kind, and Michael Keaton. The feature broke Shrek theThird's record as the biggest opening day North American gross for an animated film unadjusted for inflation and a big opening with an unadjusted gross of $110,307,189. It is also the highest-grossing opening weekend for a Pixar film, as well as the highest-grossing opening weekend for a film to have opened in the month of June. The film is the highest-grossing film of 2010 in the United States and Canada, and the highest-grossing film of 2010 worldwide. In early August, it surpassed Finding Nemo to become Pixar's highest-grossing film ever at the North American box office, and Shrek 2 as the highest-grossing animated film of all time worldwide; later that month, Toy Story 3 became the first ever animated film in history to make over $1 billion worldwide. It is currently the 8th highest-grossing film of all time. Toy Story 3 was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Sound Editing. It was the third animated film (after Beauty and the Beast and Up) to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. It won the awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song.
==Story==
Andy is about to leave for college and Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the gang have to find a new home. They come across a daycare center which seems really nice… at first.
==Plot==
Set Ten years after the events of Toy Story 2, Andy (John Morris) is leaving for college, Some of his toys have been sold at yard sales (Wheezy, Etch-a-Sketch and Bo Peep are mentioned) and only Sheriff Woody The Cowboy (voiced by Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear The Space Ranger (Voiced by Tim Allen), Jessie The Yodeling Cowgirl (Voiced by Joan Cusack), Mr. and Mrs. Potato head (Voice by Don Rickles and Estelle Harris), Slinky Dog (Voiced by Blake Clark (For the late Jim Varrey)), Rex The Dinosaur (Wallace Shawn), Hamm The Piggy Bank (John Ratzenberger), Bullseye The Horse, Sarge (R. Lee Ermey) and two of his soldiers and The Three Green Aliens (Voiced by Jeff Pidgeon) remain. Although they feel like they have been abandoned as they haven’t been played with for years. Andy decides to take Woody with him to college and puts Buzz and the rest of the toys in a trash bag for storage in the attic. However, the toys are accidentally thrown out when Andy's mom (Laurie Metcalf) finds the bag and puts it out on the curb, causing the toys to think that they are no longer wanted. They escape and decide to climb in a donation box for Sunnyside Daycare. Woody, the only toy who saw what actually happened, follows the other toys and tries to explain they were thrown out by mistake, but they refuse to believe him. Andy's toys are welcomed by the many toys at Sunnyside and given a tour of the seemingly perfect play-setting by a pink straw berry scented teddy bear named Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear (simply known as Lotso, (Voiced by Ned Beatty)), Big Baby and Ken (Voiced by Michael Keaton), whom Barbie (Jodi Benson) falls for. All of the toys love their new home, leaving a steadfast Woody alone in an attempt to return to Andy. Woody's escape attempt falls short and he is found outside by Bonnie, an imaginative little girl. She takes him home and plays with him along with her other toys, who are well-treated, happy, and readily welcome Woody. At the daycare, Andy's toys get beaten up by the rambuctious youngest toddlers. Buzz goes to ask Lotso to transport him and the other toys to a better room, only to be caught by Lotso's henchmen and restored back to his original space ranger persona in the first movie. At the same time, Andy's toys realize that Woody was right about Andy when Mrs. Potato Head sees Andy searching for them through her missing eye, which was left behind in Andy's room. Before they could leave, they are imprisoned by Lotso and his gang, including a reset Buzz. After the toys are locked in jail, Lotso gives them Woody’s hat, which was left behind in his escape, causing the toys to believe Lotso murdered Woody. Back at Bonnie's, Woody learns from one of the toys named, Chuckles the Clown (Voiced by Bud Luckey), that Lotso was once a good toy and had an owner named Daisy who also owned Chuckles and Big Baby. One day, Daisy left them behind on a picnic. The three eventually find their way back to Daisy's house, only to find that she replaced Lotso with an identical teddy bear. When he found Sunnyside, he and Big Baby took it over and ran it like a prison. The following morning, Woody returns to Sunnyside through Bonnie's backpack to recuse his friends. He asks a toy called Chatter Telephone (Voiced by Teddy Newton) to help him out so Chatter tells him how to escape. He reaches his friends, who are happy to see he is still alive and return his hat to him, and tells them he is sorry for leaving them. They quickly formulate an escape plan. That night, Woody and Slinky sneak through Sunnyside to the main office, where Chatter informed them that a cymbal-banging monkey monitors the CCTV system to prevent toys escaping. A brief fight ensues, ending with the Monkey wrapped in sell-o-tape and locked in a filing cabinet by Slinky. Slinky signals to the other toys while Mr. Potato head provides a diversion, they make their escape. In the process, Buzz is accidentally reset into a Spanish mode, in which he becomes very flamboyantly chivalrous and his memory is wiped; despite this, Buzz allies himself with Woody's friends. The toys reach a dumpster, but are caught by Lotso and his gang. As a garbage truck approaches, Woody reveals what he heard about Lotso, and Big Baby throws Lotso into the dumpster. Seeking revenge, Lotso pulls Woody in the dumpster just as the truck collects the trash. Woody's friends jump into the back of the truck, trying to rescue him and a falling television hits Buzz when he tries to save Jessie . At first, Jessie thinks The Television has crashed Buzz to death and starts to sob.Then Buzz springs back to life and speaks enlgish. Jessie is releaved Buzz is Alive and hugs him. Later The toys find themselves at the dump and are pushed onto a conveyor belt leading to a garbage shredder. The Aliens manage to avoid getting pushed on. Meanwhile, Thanks to Slinky’s metal spring, The toys find out the ceiling is a magnet and they all grab metal objects to be saved. Woody and Buzz save Lotso just in time as he is about to be shredded and Woody and the other toys end up on another conveyor belt, leading to an incinerator. The toys help Lotso reach an emergency stop button, but he leaves them to their deaths. Thinking that this is the end of the line for them, the toys join hands, close their eyes and accept their fate but are rescued by the Aliens using a giant claw. Lotso makes his way outside, but a passing truck driver finds him and, recognizing he had the toy as a kid, straps him to the radiator grill of his truck. Meanwhile, Woody and his friends board another trash truck back to Andy's house. In Andy's room, Woody climbs back into the box with Andy's college supplies while the other toys ready themselves for the attic. Remembering his time with Bonnie and her toys, Woody has an idea and leaves a note for Andy on the toys' box. Andy, thinking the note is from his mother, takes them to Bonnie's house and introduces her to his old toy and Bonnie recognizes Woody, who, to Andy's surprise, is lying at the bottom of the box. Andy is initially reluctant to give him up but eventually does so and spends some time playing with her. After Andy leaves, Woody introduces the gang to Bonnie's toys as the camera pans up to the sky. During the credits, Woody and the other toys learn through notes passed in Bonnie's backpack that Barbie, Ken and Big Baby have improved the lives of the toys (now including an Evil Emperor Zurg action figure) at Sunnyside now that Lotso is gone. Buzz and Jessie (now a couple) dance to a Spanish version of "You've Got a Friend in Me."

After Clark was cast to play Slinky Dog, the producers later realized that Blake Clark and Jim Varney had coincidentally been close friends since they appeared in the 1989 movie Fast Food, making the transition a lot easier.
==Trivia==
*
===References to Toy Story 1 & 2 ===
====References to Toy Story 1 ====
*During the western scene, Woody, Mr. Potato Head, Slinky Dog, and Rex reprise their roles as seen in the beginning of Toy Story when Andy was playing with them, but in a more realistic scene than in Toy Story.
*Andy uses the "bank" cardboard box seen in the first film during one of his play scenarios. Woody tells Slinky to gather the toys for a meeting, like in the first film.
*The toys being distrustful of Woody whether Andy wants to keep them or not is similar to how they were distrustful of him when they believed Woody was trying to get rid of Buzz Lightyear in the first movie. However, they weren't trying to beat him up like they did in the first movie.
*When Andy is at his toy chest, deciding whether he should take Woody or Buzz to college, it echoes how the first film, he decides which to sleep with. Unlike last time, however, Andy chooses Woody.
*Remember Sid Phillips the violent teenager from the first film? Well a garbage man is wearing his signature skull t-shirt.
*As the toys are taken to Sunnyside Daycare, Buzz warns them that the toys there might be jealous of new toys, clearly remembering of how Woody was jealous of him during the events of the first film.
*Randy Newman’s version of “You’ve got a friend in me”  played in the beginning of the first film is played in the beginning of the third film.
*Bonnie taking Woody to play tea party seems to echo Hannah taking Buzz to a tea party.
*As Bonnie lies in her bed snuggling her toys along with Woody, Buttercup exchanges a wink to Woody, just like how Buzz did when he and Woody reunite with Andy.
*The Potato Heads are able to detach their eyes in order to get a better view. This technique was first seen in the first film.
*Buzz returns to his delusions of being a Space Ranger in the first film after being switched back to Demo mode.
*Lotso's firetruck has the same siren of the Toddle Tots Firetruck.
*Like in the first film, Woody comes up with a elaborate plot to escape with the help of the other toys.
*The way Slinky Dog was helping Woody to put the monkey toy into custody is completely similar to how Legs as helping Ducky ring the doorbell in Sid's house.
*The Aliens' loyalty to "The Claw" reappears in the garbage dump scene. They later use the claw to save Woody and friends.
*When Ken, Big Baby and Buzz catch Mr. Potato Head escaping, Ken says “A little late for a scroll. Eh, Potato Head?” and Mr. Potato Head responds “That’s Mr. Potato Head to you, smoothie!”. He said something similar to Woody in the original Toy Story when he knocked Buzz out the window. Only he called Woody a murderer.
*When Buzz's voice box says "to infinity and beyond," that sound effect was originally said by Buzz himself when he was about to "fly" around Andy's room in the first film. This, along with his "Buzz Lightyear to the rescue" sound effect were probably a reference to the 1995 Thinkway Buzz Lightyear action figure, as the sound quality is also similar.
*The movie opens and closes with a blue sky with clouds on it that is just Andy's old wallpaper in the original Toy Story.
*The toys are tortured similar to Sid torturing Buzz and Woody.
*Big Baby has a broken eye, which may be a reference to Babyface.
*It is possible that Lotso is relatives with Andy’s teddy bear in the first movie.
*In the first film, the Pizza Planet truck has a sticker in the back named "KRAT FM", this same sticker appears on Andy's Room in the wall.
====References To Toy Story 2 ====
*Like how Toy Story 2 started with an outer space setting (Buzz's world), Toy Story 3 started with a wild west setting (Woody, Jessie and Bullseye's world).
*During the western scene, Buzz Lightyear and Hamm reprise their roles when Andy was playing with them in the second movie.
*Jessie's yodeling ability to call for animals reappears when she calls for Rex, as well as her panic attacks at the thought of being in storage.
*Woody being worried about the future in the second film has been expanded to with the toys being worried of the future.
*After over 10 years, the Aliens still say 'You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful' to Mr. Potato Head. However, at the end of the film, Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head repeat the same line to the aliens for saving them from being incinerated.
*Jessie's line 'It's Emily all over again!', references her first owner.
*Like in the second film, Woody tries to call for Buster in order to save his friends. This time, however, Buster is too old to help Woody anymore.
*Jessie's romantic interest with Buzz, which was first showed towards the end of the second film, has become somewhat expanded in this film. Several scenes and dialogue between the two characters in this movie seem to show this.
*Lotso’s backstory is similar to Jessie’s. They both lost their owners. In the scene where Bonnie takes Woody home, before Woody is stopped by Dolly, he uses a reference from Bo Peep in Toy Story 2 when she said, "The boy who wrote that would take you to camp with or without your hat," and Woody wasn’t going to bother going back to Sunnyside Daycare.
*Lotso's fate by the end of the film is similar to Stinky Pete's. Both are unexpectedly found, and then they find themselves in an unwanted predicament: Stinky Pete becomes stuck with a girl who draws on her toys, while Lotso becomes a fly attractant for a garbage truck.
*The music that played when the toys returned to Andy’s room was the same music that introduced Jessie in the second film.
*Woody and friends come back to Andy's house by using Slinky, the similar way Buzz's rescue party came out.
*An Emperor Zurg Toy appears during the end credits as a donation to a re-established Sunnyside.
*Wheezy is one of the toys mentioned during the staff. He makes a few cameos during the beginning.
*When Woody rushes to save the toys, he slides down the drain pipe and hides behind the letter box from the garbage man. This is a reference to in the second film when Buzz slides down the drain pipe and hides behind a table leg from Andy's mom, when Al was stealing Woody.
*In the second film, Stinky Pete told Woody that Andy wouldn’t take him to college with him. And he was right. Andy gave Woody to Bonnie, along with Buzz and the others. Stinky Pete also said the toys would end up at a landfill and they did end up there. In the bloopers, he promised one of the Barbie dolls a part in Toy Story 3 and one of them was in Toy Story 3.
*When Mr. Potato Head demands Big Baby puts him down, He shouts “Put me down, You Moron!” He also said that to Bonus Belt Buzz in the second film.
*Just like Toy Story 2 ended with Wheezy signing a Jazzy version of “You’ve got a friend in me” (with the assistance of Mr.Mike.), Toy Story 3 ends with Buzz and Jessie dancing to a Spanish version of “You’ve got a friend in me”.
==Production==
According to the terms of Pixar's revised deal with Disney, all characters created by Pixar for their films were owned by Disney. Furthermore, Disney retains the rights to make sequels to any Pixar film, though Pixar retained the right of first refusal to work on these sequels. But in 2004, when the contentious negotiations between the two companies made a split appear likely, Disney Chairman at the time Michael Eisner put in motion plans to produce Toy Story 3 at a new Disney studio, Circle 7 Animation. Tim Allen, the voice of Buzz Lightyear, indicated a willingness to return even if Pixar wasn’t on board. Jim Herzfeld wrote a script for Circle 7's version of the film. It focused on the other toys shipping a malfunctioning Buzz to Taiwan, where he was built, believing that he will be fixed there. While searching on the Internet, they find out that many more Buzz Lightyear toys are malfunctioning around the world and the company has issued a massive recall. Fearing Buzz's destruction, a group of Andy's toys (Woody, Rex, Slinky, Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, Jessie, and Bullseye) venture to rescue Buzz and fix him themselves. At the same time Buzz meets other toys from around the world that were once loved but have now been recalled. A Reference to Small Fry.  In January 2006, Disney bought Pixar in a deal that put Pixar chiefs Edwin Catmull and John Lasseter in charge of all Disney Animation. Shortly thereafter, Circle 7 Animation was shut down and its version of Toy Story 3 was cancelled. The character designs went into the Disney archives. The following month, Disney CEO Robert Iger confirmed that Disney was in the process of transferring the production to Pixar.  John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter, and Lee Unkrich visited the house where they first pitched Toy Story and came up with the story for the film over a weekend. Stanton then wrote a treatment. On February 8th 2007, Catmull announced Toy Story 2's co-director, Lee Unkrich, as the sole director of the film instead of John Lasseter (who was busy directing Cars 2), and Michael Arndt as screenwriter. The release date was moved to 2010. Unkrich said that he felt pressure to avoid creating "the first dud" for Pixar, since as of 2010 all of Pixar's films had been commercial and critical successes.  During the initial development stages of the film, Pixar revisited their work from the original Toy Story and found that although they could open the old computer files for the animated 3D models, error messages prevented them from editing the files. This necessitated recreating the models from scratch. To create the chaotic and complex junkyard scene near the film's end, more than a year and a half was invested on research and development to create the simulation systems required for the sequence. Instead of sending Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and John Ratzenberger scripts for their consideration in reprising their roles of Woody, Buzz and Hamm, a complete story reel of the film was shown to the actors in a theater. The reel was made up of moving storyboards with pre-recorded voices, sound effects, and music. At the conclusion of the preview, the actors signed on to the film. Dolby Laboratories announced that Toy Story 3 would be the first film that will feature theatrical 7.1 surround audio. Thus, even the Blu-ray version will feature original 7.1 audio, unlike other movies which were remixed into 7.1 for Blu-ray.
==Release==
Toy Story 3 was released in Theatres June 18th 2010 in 3D, 11 years after Toy Story 2 and fifteen years after the First Toy Story Film.
==Marketing==
The film's first teaser trailer was released with the Disney Digital 3-D version of the film Up on May 29th 2009. On October 2nd 2009, Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were re-released as a double feature in Disney Digital 3-D. The first full-length trailer was attached as an exclusive sneak peek and a first footage to the Toy Story double feature, on October 12, 2009. A second teaser was released on February 10th 2010, followed by a second full-length trailer on February 11 and appeared in 3D showings of How to Train Your Dragon and Shrek Forever After. On March 23rd 2010, Toy Story 1 was released on Blu-ray/DVD combo pack which included a small feature of "The Story of Toy Story 3". Also, Toy Story 2 was released on that day in the same format which had a small feature on the "Characters of Toy Story 3". On May 11th 2010, both films had a DVD-only re-release which contained the features. Mattel, Thinkway Toys, and Lego are among those who produced toys to promote the film. Fisher Price, a Mattel Company, has released Toy Story 3 with 21 3D images for viewing with the View-Master viewer. Disney Interactive Studios also produced a video game based on the film, Toy Story 3: The Video Game, which was released on June 15th 2010, three days before the film’s release. Toy Story 3 was featured in Apple's iPhone OS 4 Event on April 8th 2010, with Steve Jobs demonstrating a Toy Story 3 themed iAd written in HTML5. Pixar designed a commercial for the toy, Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear, and formatted it to look like it came from an old VCR recording. The recording was altered with distorted sound, noise along the bottom of the screen, and flickering video, all designed to make it look like a converted recording from around 1983. A Japanese version of the commercial was also released online, with the name Lots-o'-Huggin Bear being replaced by Little Hug-Hug Bear (Japanese:ハグハグベアちゃん/Hagu Hagu Beya-Chan).  On Dancing with the Stars' May 11th 2010, episode, the Gipsy Kings performed a Spanish-language version of the song "You've Got a Friend in Me". It also featured a paso doble dance which was choreographed by Cheryl Burke and Tony Dovolani. Both the song and dance are featured in the film. Toy Story 3 was also promoted with airings of the first and second films on several channels in the upcoming weeks of the film's release, including Disney Channel, Disney XD, and ABC Family. Sneak peeks of Toy Story 3 were also revealed, primarily on Disney Channel.

===Reception===
====Critical Respone====
Toy Story 3 has received very positive reviews from film critics. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reports that 99% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 253 reviews, with an average score of 8.8/10. On the all-time Best of Rotten Tomatoes list it ranks fourth and was the best reviewed film of 2010. Another review aggregator, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, calculated a score of 92 based on 39 reviews. TIME named Toy Story 3 the best movie of 2010, as did Quentin Tarantino. In 2011, TIME named it one of "The 25 All-TIME Best Animated Films". A. O. Scott of The New York Times stated, "This film—this whole three-part, 15-year epic—about the adventures of a bunch of silly plastic junk turns out also to be a long, melancholy meditation on loss, impermanence and that noble, stubborn, foolish thing called love." Owen Gleiberman from Entertainment Weekly gave the film an A, saying, "Even with the bar raised high, Toy Story 3 enchanted and moved me so deeply I was flabbergasted that a digitally animated comedy about plastic playthings could have this effect." Gleiberman also wrote in the next issue that he, along with many other grown men, cried at the end of the film. Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a positive review, saying, "Woody, Buzz and playmates make a thoroughly engaging, emotionally satisfying return." Mark Kermode of the BBC gave the film, and the series, a glowing review, calling it "the best movie trilogy of all time". In USA Today, Claudia Puig gave the film a complete 4 star rating, writing, "This installment, the best of the three, is everything a movie should be: hilarious, touching, exciting and clever."  Lou Lumenick of the New York Post wrote, "Toy Story 3 (which is pointlessly being shown in 3-D at most locations) may not be a masterpiece, but it still had me in tears at the end." Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, writing that, "Compared with the riches of all kinds in recent Pixar masterworks such as Ratatouille, WALL-E and Up, Toy Story 3 looks and plays like an exceptionally slick and confident product, as opposed to a magical blend of commerce and popular art." Orlando Sentinel film critic Roger Moore, who gave the film 3½ out of 4 stars, wrote, "Dazzling, scary and sentimental, Toy Story 3 is a dark and emotional conclusion to the film series that made Pixar famous.”
