Talk:Toy Story 3/Archive 1

Distribution
Is Toy Story 3 going to be a theatrical film or direct-to-video like a lot of sequels?
 * Most likely it'll be released in cinemas first since it is a popular title. -- Thorpe talk 12:05, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Irreverent testament
Can someone find a way to rephrase this?


 * ...many feel Toy Story 3, and an inevitable replacement for the voice of Slinky Dog, to be an irreverent testament to the former comedian...

If I knew what the hell an "irreverent testament" was, I'd reword it myself. --Doradus 16:01, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Tom Hanks
Is Tom Hanks going to be the voice of Woody in this film? Scorpionman 03:44, 10 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I don't know...Can someone who knows please let us know? 4.158.210.233 01:24, 13 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Could you also answer the same question for Tim Allen with Buzz!? &mdash; Hurricane Devon  (  Talk  ) 21:47, 19 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Most likely they will. It's the case with John Ratzenberger, who will be sure to voice Hamm now that Pixar is involved. I think that Hanks and Allen will return for Woody and Buzz, and I believe that Jim Cummings will voice Slinky Dog (speculation). Jienum

Jim Cummings as slinky dog? are you crazy? No Offense, but I think sSlink won't be in this flick due to Jim Varney's death —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.187.123 (talk) 19:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Under new management
Now that Disney and Pixar are one, will Disney or Pixar or both be working on this movie?


 * This film has been cancelled, but the creators of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 could decide to make another sequel in future. I personally think this is good news, since this movie would have potentially killed the series. Mushroom 14:35, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

I wish Toy Story 3 comes soon!

Image removal
I removed the image as the idea of a buzz lightyear recall has been officially scrapped by both Disney and Pixar making the outdated picture irrelevent. Dark jedi requiem 19:06, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

''Cool image though, and I'm glad it's been moved down to the original plot section. That stuff's historical.''

Release?
Isn't 2008 the year Disney was planning on releasing Toy Story 3?? The fact that Production has been transfered Pixar means this date can no longer be official, unless Pixar has mentioned a date, which I doubt -- Remember Lasster saying, "We're not talking about Toy Story 3 yet. Sorry!"
 * That is true. Now it says TBA instead of speculation.Dark jedi requiem 16:51, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

To the Theatres!
For a movie starring both Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, I highly doubt this will be a straight-to-video release. 24.23.51.27 19:58, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * You never know... Pixar and Disney had a serious conflict over releasing Toy Story 2 to theaters, didn't they? We're not really sure of anything at the moment.  Kochdude388 20:01, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

August 6, 2008?
Where is this confirmed? GKMorse 03:00, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * it's not jj 03:27, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

are we sure?
the Variety article says "In addition to confirming for the first time that a third "Toy Story" is in the works, most likely for 2009 release, Lasseter said Lee Unkrich will helm it."  Is "most likely" the same as "definitely"? SpikeJones 12:34, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I interpret that as "We're currently running on a schedule with a release date in 2009, but it's not set in stone and we might change it". Remember, Cars was scheduled to be released in November 2005 for a long time. Until we hear information which contradicts it, 2009 should be alright. RMS Oceanic 21:17, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Something additional you could do is state both in the lead paragraph and the Infobox Film template is to mention "tentative". For example, "2009 (tenative)" in the template, and "Toy Story 3 has a tentative release date for 2009."  That would illustrate the information we have accurately. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 21:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Other plot?
I heard that at Disney World, they were saying there was a different plot: Andy's mom gets re-married and soon Andy has a step-sister. The toys have to put up with girl toys. 75.63.66.186 22:29, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, unless you can provide solid evidence, we can't mention anything about that on the page. Rusty5 01:14, 20 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Plus, Andy already has Molly. jj 02:00, 25 May 2007 (UTC)


 * (Sarcasm:) So you mean, becuase of my little brother, it's impossible to get a step?


 * (No sarcasm) No, he means that Andy's toys already deal with girl toys since he has a little sister, so that plot is unnecessary and redundant. --ScreaminEagle 20:51, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Spoiler tag?
Does anyone else think there should be a spoiler tag before the plot section. I think it is highly likely that Pixar will indeed use the childcare centre plot and it's not good to give that away without a warning... --211.26.114.76 02:21, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

 * It would be nice if you would care to explain why you don't think a spoiler tag should be in place.


 * I'm not sure what that has to do with what I was saying. The child care centre plot came directly from John Lasseter/Pixar themselves. The idea was talked about during a DVD commentary- that's how we know about it. --58.179.224.128 08:19, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

The commentary to which film? Be as verifiable as possible. WikiNew 09:55, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Characters not appearing
It's more than obvious the Slinky Dog, Lenny theBinoculars, and Wheezy the Penguin won't appear on account that their respective voice actors Jim Varney and Joe Ranft passed away. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.244.187.122 (talk) 17:15, 15 April 2007 (UTC).


 * Just because the voice actors died doesn't necessarily mean they'll be written out. Chances are, out of respect, Joe Ranft's roles will be cut (after all, they were pretty minor to begin with). However, I'd expect that they'd find a new voice for Slinky. Rusty5 17:33, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I heard in Jim Varney's Autobiography on Wikipedia.Com that Slinky Dog in Toy Story 3 will be replaced by Lou Romano.

Do not use Wikipedia as a forum. Alientraveller 17:38, 15 April 2007 (UTC)


 * We're not trying to. I'm rather clarifying that, although it's uncertain whether the mentioned characters will be in the film, we shouldn't just erase the possibilities and mention in the article that they won't appear (which might have been the original poster's idea). I suggest we now close this section. Rusty5 00:47, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

No. Mention the characters as they are officially announced. If and when we confirm from reliable outside parties that specific characters are not in the film due to various actors' deaths, then it may deserve a passing mention. WP:NOT a crystal ball. SpikeJones 03:35, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Maybe they won't cut Lenny's role, after all other than "Right here Woody!" he's said nothing 68.109.165.199 (talk) 02:14, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Only if you have citable proof that it is. SpikeJones 02:46, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Speculation?
"Being that the film is slated for release in 2010 it is more likely than not that the film may be modified for an older demographic than its previous installments. Being the generation that experienced the original two films will, by 2010, be at least 15-17 years older by then." I don't see how this could be a speculation, if Toy Story 3 does come out in 2010 there is no doubt that Toy Story's generations of child audiences will be significantly older. They will all technically be teenagers by then. Being that it is a sequel, a fraction of the demographic are people who experienced the first two. Teenagers are a very valid guess for Toy Story 3's target audience. Papa Mama 20:33, 24 May 2007 (UTC) Papa Mama

That is speculation because you think because the age of a child who saw a film then affects that all films they see in future have to grow up too. Pixar make family films. Clearly, you fail to understand WP:V. Alientraveller 20:36, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I didn't say it WASN'T going to be a family movie. Teenagers have entertainment away from the family for sure, but that doesn't mean it WILL be modified just for them. What i'm saying is teenagers, if after experiencing TS1 and TS2, will want to come back if there is a TS3. And it's a good chance that they will. Papa Mama 20:52, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, and the point you making was it will be modified to suit an older demographic? Who's to say it will other than your opinion? Alientraveller 20:54, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I didn't say it will, I said there was a good chance that it might. What I did say with will in it was that teens could hold a good portion of the movie's audience but that doesn't mean that the film will be modified just for them. Papa Mama 21:06, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Might, will, all are your opinion and cannot be included. Alientraveller 21:06, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

What's the use of me arguing with you if everything you say is right. It's hard for me to understand what you say because your english is obviously not perfect. I've made my point several times already. Papa Mama 21:16, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Look, it's speculation to include such opinions of yours that aren't reflected by a major publisher nor the filmmakers. Just understand Verifiability. Alientraveller 21:18, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

The information is verifiable in itself! Just like how 2+2=4. You do not have to reference that two plus another two equals four. people can do that sort of stuff without anybody officially stating it is, in fact, four. Toy Story 3 is coming out 15 years later than Toy story 1 and 13 years later than Toy Story 2.

No, just get the rules. We're not discussing math, we're discussing artistic intent of another human being. Alientraveller 21:29, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


 * 2+2=4, yes, but films don't always "age" like you are suggesting. What you are trying to introduce is pure personal opinion. You have no source to back up what you are saying. It's called original research, and it's basically forbidden on Wikipedia. If you have verifiable, reliable sources that say the film may change demographics, great. But without those sources you might as well say "This film could very well have no plot and could be just a bnuch of bright colors and loud noices, aimed at the toddler audience". Star Wars didn't change demographics, and that second trilogy didn't come out until 20 years later.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  21:41, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but after all, it IS an unreleased movie. We're not all too sure. Papa Mama 23:33, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Precisely, it's an unreleased movie and you are making assumptions about who the studio will try and market there film toward, when you have no reliable source (other than your brain, which isn't reliable per Wikipedia's standards) that says anything of the sort about the film's intended demographic.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  00:04, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Please consider this: Disney's Cinderella was released in the middle of the 20th century. Just recently we got Cinderella 3: A Twist In Time, decades after the original. It's a timeless tale, as many older Disney films are. That's why they can cough up sequels by the month and still reel in cold cash. Toy Story is a classic film, which still has high marketing in most stores. Now, notice that none of the new Cinderella films have complex stories a teen girl would love. They simply can't keep the same audience they had during the first film. I'm sure that 3 will have the same style as the first two of the series. 'Nuff said. Rusty5 00:47, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

That's sixteen years. I only will be fifteen, so, yeah, you're right. It's one year older! :-)

When I saw the first picture showing Buzz Lightyear toys being recalled, this kind of parallels to the recall on toys made in China last year due to lead paint.

ComingSoon.net cite
The ComingSoon.net link that is the reference point for the majority of the cast listed in this article might not be entirely accurate. As much as I would like to see Bo Peep return in the film, I have seen no indication anywhere that Annie Potts will be returning to voice her. The ComingSoon.net article does not mention her name (nor the names of many of the other actors listed, though their appearances have been confirmed elsewhere). Here's to hoping something/someone confirms Bo Peep/Anne Potts soon... dogman15 (talk) 08:12, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Bo Peep will not be returning in the third film. A group of friends and I had tickets to an advanced screening of the movie and she was mentioned, but did not appear. I was surprised about how officials in the theatre didn't debrief us afterward on what we were allowed to share about the film, but then again that was the first screening I had ever been to. Palmtree73 (talk) 08:23, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Logo vs. Teaser Poster
I don't really see what the fuss is all about. Disney was obviously fine with its teaser poster not having the "Toy Story" in it. People know what it is, especially with the font, and nobody's gonna expect to call it "3." There's also the picture in the "Development" section with the logo on it, so I doubt people will be confused. Not to mention that there's a tagline and release date on the teaser poster. Enter Movie (talk) 04:35, 20 September 2009 (UTC)


 * That, and the words "Toy Story 3" appear 13 times in the article (including its title). Like I said in my edit summary, if there's more promotional material out for this movie than a simple logo, we should be illustrating it in the article. As Enter Movie said, the standalone logo will still appear in the article anyways. Digitelle (talk) 13:45, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Plot error
In the plot it says that the toys are thrown away and picked up by the garbage man. This is only partially right. They are accidently thrown away, but they manage to escape before the garbagemen get around to them. The toys hide in Andy's mom's van to avoid being seen. Woody tries to convince the other toys that it was an accident and that they weren't meant to be thrown away. While Woody struggles with the other toys, Andy's mom gets in the van and drives to a local daycare to donate some old toys. All the toys hide in the box that's meant to be donated. Obviously, I don't have a source so you'll just have to take my word on it. I saw an advanced screening about a month ago. (Palmtree73 (talk) 20:28, 3 November 2009 (UTC))

Andy's mom's name.
Someone had written the name of Andy's mom (voiced by Laurie Metcalf, as we all know) as "Jennifer 'Jenny' Davis". They then cited this Lee Unkrich Twitter comment: http://twitter.com/leeunkrich/statuses/4820087123. If one goes there, he links to a video of him announcing things about Toy Story 3. He said that Laurie Metcalf was coming back to do her voice but not what Mrs. Davis' first name was. Thus, I removed "Jennifer 'Jenny'" and replaced it with "Mrs." For all we know, Andy's mom may be Emily, Jessie's previous owner, from Toy Story 2. -dogman15 (talk) 06:40, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

The owner is Andy's mom, but it isnt referenced anywhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.155.182.227 (talk) 17:01, 10 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Considering that Jessie has seen Andy's mom on a few occasions, I think Jessie would known if she was Emily soon after she arrived at Andy's House. Besides that, Woody would have told Jessie if Andy's mom had the name of Emily, when he met her in Toy Story 2 and asked her (and Bullseye) to come live with him. I really think Woody knows the first name of Andy's mom. He probably has heard it spoken on more than a few occasions.204.80.61.110 (talk) 16:11, 23 June 2010 (UTC)Bennett Turk

Suggestion for block
I suggest that unregistered users be blocked from editing the Toy Story 3 article. There has been a lot of edits lately adding erroneous cast information and people have been copying the entire full plot summary directly from the Pixar Wiki. dogman15 (talk) 03:55, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, that's part of the problem. There is a character named Chuckles (the Clown), but at the same time characters like Wheezy and Bo Peep do not speak.

I have had to remove actors of Charlie Adler, Cheech Marin, Frank Welker, Lou Romano, Sam Gold, Carroll Spinney (who was expecting a muppeteer?)and Patrick Warburton. There is no way these actors would be casting in this film. trainfan01 20:23 3 May 2010 —Preceding undated comment added 03:24, 4 May 2010 (UTC).

Someone changed the voice of Chuckles from James Anthony Cotton to Bud Lucky without providing a reliable source (I have changed it back) and also there has been an inserting of Jack Willis as Frog (What is this. A toy frog?) and Charlie Bright, Amber Kroner and Brianna Maiwood as Peas-In-A-Pod as well. Both of these once again has no sources either. If no one can find an source for any of these actors these both will be deleted. trainfan01 —Preceding undated comment added 01:54, 7 June 2010 (UTC).
 * Disney has actually issued a press release with all of the confirmed actors and more.

College Cliffhanger Screenings
Why hasn't something been said about the college cliffhanger screenings? According to this, such special screenings deserve mention. Here's a source (The New York Times): http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/01/movies/01pixar.html Do you think this is worth adding to the article? dogman15 (talk) 06:01, 7 May 2010 (UTC)


 * NYT is a perfectly acceptable source, and I think that it would fit well in the Marketing section of the article. I'd add it, but I really shouldn't even be editing Wikipedia at all right now (I missed the college cliffhanger screening in my area today because I'm supposed to be busy). J0lt C0la (talk) 06:55, 7 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Because marketing screenings are not notable. They happen regularly - these just happen to be targeted to college kids instead of via traditional audience methods. SpikeJones (talk) 22:21, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Animation - Low importance?
This is Toy Story 3! Pixar's 11th feature film and one of the biggest films of Summer 2010! I'd say it's at least at Mid importance, if not High. dogman15 (talk) 18:51, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Non-speaking and length of film
Someone has removed Peas-In-A-Pod from the non-speaking characters section even though no voice actor has been confirmed. I re-inserted it back into this section yesterday only to discover this morning that it has been removed again. Thus I have re-inserted it again. Whatever is going on here should be stopped now. Unless a voice actor is confirmed they are to stay in this section for now. trainfan01 —Preceding undated comment added 01:58, 14 May 2010 (UTC).

Additionally I do not see any source at all to confirm the film's length will be 86 minutes (1 hour and 26 minutes) long at all because every time a film is released it's sequel always tends to be longer than it's prodecessor for whatever reason (Toy Story is 81 minutes long and Toy Story 2 is 92 minutes long). So I think this should be removed from the template until further info is given. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trainfan01 (talk • contribs) 02:05, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

I was right. The running time is of course 102 minutes as proven in the source below. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trainfan01 (talk • contribs) 15:39, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

The link that mentioned that John Cygnan would voice Twitch has been taken down (it was the same link of who would voice Spanish Buzz which now has a different link mentioned it) and this cast voicer has been removed but now it has been re added again without the source.

Plot section removal (hopefully to stave off revert war)
The citations for the plot section do not support the plot section as it is written. The IGN article only discusses one scene where Andy's mother throws out the toys by accident and Woody attempts a rescue (and mentions the existence of a few other characters by name), and the WSJ article only mentions the day care center in passing. Neither mentions any information that is present in the last 4 paragraphs (or even the last half of the first paragraph) of this plot summary. Unless there are citations for that stuff, it is original research until reliable sources post plot information. Kjl (talk) 22:58, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

You are absolutely right and that is what happened. But if you read my comment below of what has kept happening lately, I think there is more to it than just that. trainfan01

Actually I have recently noticed a lot edit warring going on with the plot section as it keeps getting re-written differently again and again. Whatever is going on here needs to be stopped. trainfan01

What's with all these problems?
The plot section has now been decreased to only 2 short sentences mentioning only the start of the film. The comment above stated it had to be shortened but now it is ridiculous to have it this short. There is also a section on the soundtrack but this is unsourced and there is no mentioning where the songs are confirmed (4 is kinda short and there is likely gonna be more songs than just that). This all needs to be cleaned up.

I have removed the very short sentences from the plot making this section completely blank. Feel free to start over again, but don't restore just the very short sentences I mentioned above. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trainfan01 (talk • contribs) 01:35, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Too many spoilers in the plot summary
What happened to the plot summary that was up a month ago? It wasn't spoiler-filled, but adequately lengthy, and it summed up the film's premise in a nutshell. The summary right now contains too many spoilers relating to Lotso the bear's past. We must have a solid, non-spoiling plot summary until June 18th or an earlier date whenever the film premieres wherever. We could even reduce the summary to that two sentence about Andy leaving for college, and the toys worried about their future. I'm going to try something with the plot, as we must not spoil anyone who comes here before release date. Please, understand many people are excitedly anticipating the plot, and do not want to be spoiled about everything! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chopperface116 (talk • contribs) 01:41, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The summary as it stands is very basic. It stops right where the College Cliffhanger Screenings ended, and that's what I saw. Believe me when I tell you there's a lot more to the plot than just what's written here. Jokes, minor and important (not mutually exclusive) plot details, and the very beginning of the film aren't here, so rest easy. Someone could read what's written here and still greatly enjoy the film. In other words, don't fret. dogman15 (talk) 04:57, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

About the statement that files from the first movies were unable to open.
Hi, the citation provided with the statement that the files from the first movie couldn't be open says something different. It says that: “It’s like a ‘Read Only’ file,” the director says with a laugh. “Ultimately, we could look at the images, but couldn’t do anything with them. We kind of had to start from scratch.” I think that could be edited because what is on the wikipedia article sounds like the files were fully corrupted which is not the case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.106.120.79 (talk) 05:41, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

http://www.news24.com/Entertainment/SouthAfrica/Jeremy-Mansfield-in-Toy-Story-3--20100511

The voice for Chatterbox is a South African. Hence the lack of an American accent.

W1z4rd (talk) 08:11, 28 June 2010 (UTC)


 * "Jeremy Mansfield" may or may not do Chatter Telephone's voice in the South African dub/version of the film, but there is no doubt that Pixar animator and Day & Night director Teddy Newton does the character's voice in the main,, and primary version of the film. Here are my sources:
 * http://pixarblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/visiting-pixar-stories-people-part-iv.html http://pixarblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/new-ts3.html
 * I just checked your sources, and they say that Jeremy "lend[s] his voice to the character of Lifer...". Chatter Telephone is not named "Lifer" in the American version. The second article you link to goes on to say "Under the direction of Rick Dempsey, Senior Vice President, Creative - Disney Character Voices, Mansfield will record the voice for the South African theatrical and DVD release of the film." Not the main version. If need be, I'm re-correcting the cast list to reflect this reality. dogman15 (talk) 08:30, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Regarding setting...
If Andy had his eighth birthday in the first film (which took place in November of 1995), and was about a year older in the second film (which had to have been set in\around 1996), how could he be 17 in this film? It doesn't add up. For instance, his sister is an infant in 1995, and is only about 10-12 years old in 'Toy story 3'. This would place her birth at around 1994-1995, and would make the movie take place in 2007 at the latest. However, Andy would be about 19-20 years old. Additionally, the technology displayed (namley the 4th gen iPod, LCD Monitors, and apple labtop model) would set this film in at least late-2008, mid-2009.

Is it worth mentioning that the series ends the exact same way it started, with a shot of clouds? (in the first, it's Andy's wallpaper, and in this one it is actual clouds) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.60.93.17 (talk) 14:48, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

I know about the first one (after the Walt Disney Pictures/Pixar Animation Studios intro the camera pans away from the clouds and turns away). As for the second it may have been coincidential. Also if this is at the end of the credits film sequences or at the end of the film before the credits film sequences (I have not seen the film yet) we cannot be accurate.

More detailed plot
Do you think we could make the TS3 plot more detailed like Pixar's wiki?For example: The film opens with a train being driven and everything is calm until we see One-Eyed Bart exit a cart with bags of money when we hear a whip and we see Sheriff Woody who gets ready to arrest One-Eyed Bart until he announces he is not alone and then you see his wife who tries to scare him off the train and then whacks him with her purse, and Woody falls off only to land on Bullseye along with Jessie. Then the Mr. and Mrs. set off the explosives and run off on a car driven by the Aliens. Woody tries to save the orphans(troll dolls) but the train keeps going and falls off the bridge and then we see Buzz Lightyear holding the whole train up and putting it down in a safe place and rescuing the orphans(trolls). We then see the Evil Dr. Porkchop who along with the one-eyed couple try to destroy Woody, Buzz, Jessie and Bullseye. Rex and Slinky known as the dinosaur who eats force field dogs run off scared. Then you see Andy as a kid finishing the story. His mom then comes in with a video camera and the home video sequence begins.

Andy (John Morris), now nearly 17 years old, is just three days away from heading off to college, and his toys, including Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), are worried about their uncertain future as other toys (such as Bo Peep and Wheezy) have been "yard saled" over the years.

Andy plans to keep Woody and put the others in the attic, but his mother (Laurie Metcalf) accidentally throws them away. Also, Molly (Beatrice Miller) isn't going to miss Andy when he's gone and doesn't care about her toys (throwing Barbie into the donation box without even caring).

Woody goes to save his friends (trying to have Buster help,but is too old to help) but it turns out that the toys escaped and are hiding in the back of the Davis's car, thinking Andy has thrown them away. Jessie (Joan Cusack) thinks that the toys should take charge of their own destiny, and convinces them to stow away in a box of other toys headed for donation to Sunnyside Daycare, while Woody attempts to explain to the toys that they were accidentally thrown away. Before they can leave, Andy's mom closes the back door and drives to Sunnyside to donate some old toys.

The gang arrives at Sunnyside just as the children leave for recess. The Sunnyside toys welcome Andy's toys with open arms, including the leader of the daycare, Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear (Ned Beatty) (A.K.A. "Lotso"), and a smooth-talking Ken doll (Michael Keaton), who falls in love with Molly's Barbie doll (Jodi Benson). The toys are keen on starting a new life at the daycare, except for Woody, who has suspicions about the daycare because of the Chatter Telephone (Teddy Newton), and also thinks that the toys shouldn't turn their back on Andy so quickly.

The toys think Woody should stay with them at Sunnyside, but Woody reluctantly leaves to find Andy. Woody escapes from Sunnyside using a hang glider, but ends up losing his hat and getting stuck on the branch of a tree. Woody is soon taken home by a sweet little girl from Sunnyside named Bonnie (Emily Hahn), who takes him to meet her own toys, including Trixie the triceratops (Kristen Schaal), Mr. Pricklepants the hedgehog (Timothy Dalton), Dolly (Bonnie Hunt), Chuckles the Clown (Bud Luckey), and Buttercup the unicorn (Jeff Garlin). As Woody tries to recuperate himself and continue his search for Andy, Chuckles explains to Woody the dangers of Sunnyside.

Chuckles tells Woody that himself, Lotso, and Big Baby, one of the toys at Sunnyside, were once owned by a loving girl named Daisy. However, one day, during a family trip, Daisy fell asleep and her parents took her home, accidentally leaving the toys in the countryside. They returned to Daisy's house to find that Daisy's parents bought a new Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear for her, leaving Lotso feeling betrayed and confused. The toys set out on their own (by riding the Pizza Planet truck), and were bumped off over at Sunnyside where Lotso and Big Baby quickly rose to power and transformed the daycare into a toy prison, along with Chuckles before he was injured and was taken by Bonnie.

Woody quickly realizes that he must save his friends and get back to Andy before he leaves.

Meanwhile, the rest of the toys are tortured by abusive kids at the daycare. Mrs. Potato Head, through one of her eyes at Andy's house, discovers that Andy is actively searching for the toys and did not mean to throw them away. The toys form a plan to get out of the daycare room which proves unsuccessful. That night, Buzz follows some of the daycare toys into a snack machine where he discovers the evil intentions of the daycare. The Sunnyside toys capture Buzz, reset him into his original Space Ranger mode, and manipulate him to be a henchman for Lotso. When the other toys confront Lotso about this, they are imprisoned for the night by Buzz while they contemplate Woody's fate. All they have as a memory of him is his hat, which was found by Big Baby earlier in the Sunnyside playground.

The following morning, Woody returns to Sunnyside through Bonnie's backpack. He sneakily reaches his friends and tells them that he's sorry for leaving them. They quickly formulate an escape plan to find Andy with the help of the Chatter Telephone.

That night, Woody and Slinky sneak through Sunnyside to the main office, where Chatter informed them that a cymbal-banging monkey (referred to simply as "The Monkey") monitors the security system throughout the entire daycare to prevent toys from escaping. A brief fight ensues, ending with the Monkey locked in a filing cabinet. Slinky signals to the other toys, still locked up by Lotso, and while Mr. Potato head provides a diversion, they make their escape. During the escape, the reset Buzz is captured and held down by the toys. They attempt to fix him, but accidentally reset him into Spanish mode, much to the toys' discomfort and Jessie's amazement (Hamm calls it "The Return of the Astro-Nut").

They make their way out onto the playground, and after several close-calls, manage to reach the garbage chute. Here, Chatter tells them, is where broken toys are sent, and is the only way out of Sunnyside.

As the toys prepare to leap to freedom, however, they are confronted by Lotso, who had "broken" Chatter into informing him of the escape plan, along with several of his henchmen. Woody, having been informed of Lotso's past, brings up the subject of Daisy, causing Big Baby (and by extent the other Sunnyside toys) to turn against him. A brief scuffle follows, during which Lotso and Woody fall into the dumpster at the bottom of the cute just as the garbage truck arrives.

Having been thrown into the rear of the truck, a small TV falls on Buzz, resetting him to his normal self.

The toys find themselves at the Tri-County Waste Plant, where the aliens notice a large crane in the distance, reciting one of their catchphrases, "the claw...," and proceed to venture off toward it. The rest of the toys, meanwhile, are dumped onto a long conveyor belt of garbage heading towards a set of shredders. They manage to avoid the shredders, including Lotso, who is helped to safety by Woody and Buzz. The conveyor belt then moves upwards, however, sending them toward the central incinerator. Lotso notices an emergency shutoff switch at the top of a ladder, and with Woody's and Buzz's help, manages to reach it. Rather than shutting off the belt, however, he betrays them and walks away. The remaining toys are dropped into a large chamber, where the shredded garbage is falling in an enormous bowl toward the central incinerator. The toys seem resigned to their fate, and join hands as they accept their inevitable death. Just then, however, the aliens use the crane's claw to pull them to safety, where they are able to hitch a ride back to Andy's house on a garbage truck driven.

Lotso, in the meantime, finds himself strapped to the front of another truck by a garbageman, who'd owned a Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear when he was a kid.

The toys manage to return to Andy's room undetected (riding Sid's garbage truck), where they pack themselves into a box labeled "Attic." Woody, meanwhile, prepares to journey with Andy to college, when an idea strikes. Andy discovers the box, and finds a note Woody left on the top.

He drives the toys to Bonnie's house, where he pulls them from the box and passes them on to her one by one, explaining their names, personalities, and other traits. Finally, Bonnie looks into the bottom of the box and sees Woody, exclaiming, "my cowboy dolly!" Woody, who had jumped into the box before leaving the note, leaves Andy confused about how he'd gotten in there. Andy makes to pull Woody away from Bonnie and toward himself, but then sees the sad look on her face, as well as all of his other old toys lined up together with her. In one last symbolic gesture, he gives Woody to Bonnie, telling her that they've been through a lot together and he means a lot to him, so she's got to take good care of him. Bonnie gladly accepts, and Andy joins her in playing with what are now her toys one last time. Soon, it's time for Andy to leave, and as he sits in his car and prepares to pull away, he looks back to see Bonnie waving Woody's hand at him. He smiles, thanks his toys for a great life together and accelerates down the road.

The end credits show Andy's toys getting used to life at Bonnie's, while Sunnyside is now a happy place for new arrivals as well as old toys, co-managed by Barbie and Ken. Zurg is also donated to Sunnyside and the last scene is with Jessie and Buzz dancing to the spanish version of "You've Got a Friend in Me".

For Zurg it would not be neccessary as there are actually dozens and dozens of non-speakers in the film (a lot more than we have listed). I don't understand about the Spanish Buzz actor not being included. It was listed here a while ago and then it was deleted.

confirmation
In this article and on the characters article it says that Sparks is voiced by Jan Rabson. However after seeing the film recently I don't recall hearing him ever speaking. Can anyone be accurate about this. trainfan01 21:32, July 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Even if a character never has any lines, if an actor is credited as that character, then it means that the character makes some sort of vocal utterance. In this case, Sparks speaks at the "poker" game in the vending machine. Paraphrasing, it was something like - Chunk: [referring to Buzz] He ain't the sharpest knife in the... place where... they keep the knives. Sparks: Neither are you, Chunk. dogman15 (talk) 08:50, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Why is the fairly negative quote from Relevant Magazine included under critical reception? it's a marginal magazine with a subscription level of barely 100,000, whose opinion hardly matters in the greater view of things.

In response to User talk:SpikeJones I have to say that despite the risk of too much marketing I'm afraid Amazon.com (and their subsidiaries Box Office Mojo and IMDB) are often sources of good information. An editor did suggest there should be more use of barcodes as reference and provide a search tool as Wikipedia already does for book, so that Wikipedia would be less biased to certain retailers.

Would shortening the quotes work for you?  Do the colors seem too decorative? As for location, I'd be happy to locate the quoteboxes elsewhere in the article if you dislike the spot I chose, though two quotes from the two lead actors regarding the movie would seem to improve the article. Again, I want to improve this article and look forward to working with you and others to do so. Jusdafax   17:08, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Shortening the quotes would probably be a good thing. When I say "decorative", I'm not referring to the colors -- I'm referring to the content.
