2010
SYNOPSIS:
When Andy's
toys are mistakenly delivered to a day-care center as Andy prepares to leave
for college, it's up to Woody to convince the other toys that they weren't
abandoned and to return home. Standing in their way, however, is
Lot's-O-Huggin' Bear, the mastermind behind the sinister side of Sunnyside
Daycare.
FUN FACTS:
Toy Story 3 is a 2010 American 3D computer animated comedy
film, and the third installment in the Toy Story series. It was produced
by Pixar and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It was directed by Lee Unkrich.
The film was released 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.
The plot focuses on the toys Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and their
friends dealing with an uncertain future as their owner, Andy, prepares to
leave for college. Actors 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 reprised their voice-over roles from the
previous films. Jim Varney, who played Slinky Dog in the first two films, and Joe
Ranft, who portrayed Lenny and Wheezy, 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 and various others were written out of the
story. 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 the Third's record as the
biggest opening day North American gross for an animated film unadjusted for
inflationand 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, both in the United States
and Canada, and 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.
Plot
Andy, now 17 years old, is leaving for college, and his
toys feel like they have been abandoned as they have not 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 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 Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear
(simply known as Lotso), Big Baby and Ken, whom Barbie 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. 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.
Back at Bonnie's, Woody learns from one of the toys, named Chuckles the Clown,
that Lotso was once a good toy and had an owner named Daisy who also owned
Chuckles the Clown 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. He sneakily reaches his friends 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, returning him to his normal
self. The toys find themselves at the dump and are pushed onto a conveyor belt
leading to a garbage shredder. 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, the
toys join hands 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 driven by
an older Sid Phillips 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 Emperor Zurg action figure) at
Sunnyside. Buzz and Jessie (now a couple) dance to a Spanish version of "You've
Got a Friend in Me."

Several other characters (such as Bo Peep, RC, Etch and Wheezy)
are only seen in flashbacks. The character of Slinky Dog appeared to be in
limbo after the death of his original voice actor Jim Varney on February 10,
2000, three months after Toy Story 2 was released. Varney was replaced
by Blake Clark. 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.
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 was not 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. At the same
time Buzz meets other toys from around the world that were once loved but have
now been recalled.
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 8, 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, 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
Marketing
The film's first teaser trailer was released with the
Disney Digital 3-D version of the film Up on May 29, 2009. On October 2,
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 10,
2010, followed by a second full-length trailer on February 11 and appeared in
3D showings of Alice in Wonderland and How to Train Your Dragon.
On March 23, 2010, Toy Story 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 11,
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 15, 2010.
Toy Story 3 was featured in Apple's iPhone OS 4
Event on April 8, 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 11, 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.
Oscar campaign
Unlike most recent Oscar campaigns, Toy Story 3's
"Not since..." campaign drew a lot of attention during the holiday
period, emphasizing on the film's uniqueness and universal critical acclaim.
Short film
The theatrical release of Toy Story 3 included the
short film Day & Night, which focuses on what happens when an
animated personification of Day meets his opposite, Night and the resulting
growth for both. It was also included in the Blu-ray and DVD release of Toy
Story 3.
Home media
Toy Story 3 was released in North America on
November 2, 2010 in a standard DVD edition, two-disc Blu-ray and in a four-disc
Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack. Behind the scenes are featured including a
sneak peek teaser for the upcoming Cars 2, the sequel to the 2006 film, Cars.
A 10-disc Toy Story trilogy Blu-ray box set also arrived on store
shelves on the same day. A 3D version of the Blu-ray was released in North
America on November 1, 2011.
On its first week of release (November 2–7, 2010) it sold
3,859,736 units (equal to $73,096,452) ranking No.1 for the week and
immediately becoming the best-selling animated film of 2010 in terms of units
sold (surpassing How to Train Your Dragon). As of July 18, 2012, it has
sold 10,911,701 units ($185,924,247). It
has become the best-selling DVD of 2010 in terms of units sold, but it lacks in
terms of sales revenue and therefore ranks second behind Avatar on that
list. It also sold about 4.0 million Blu-ray units, ranking as the fourth
best-selling movie of 2010.
In the UK, it broke the record for the largest first day
ever for animated feature both on DVD and Blu-ray in terms of sales revenue.
Additionally, on its first day of release on iTunes it immediately became the
most downloaded Disney film ever.
Reception
Critical response
Toy Story 3 has received high critical acclaim 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."

feature. The film had the second-highest opening weekend for an animated film
and also had the fourth best opening weekend for a 2010 film. It set an
opening-weekend record for films opening in June and for G-rated films. In its
first week (Friday-through-Thursday), Toy Story 3 grossed $167.6 million
marking the biggest opening week for an animated film and the tenth largest
opening week of all time. It also had the largest opening-week and 10-day gross

followed by the UK, Ireland and Malta (£73.8 million - $116.6 million), where

and Mexico ($59.4 million), where it is the second highest-grossing film of all
time, behind Marvel's The Avengers. It set opening weekend records for
animated films in Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico, China, Argentina, Hong Kong, Spain
and the UK. As of August 2012, it is the highest-grossing animated film of all
time in the UK, Ireland and Malta, in Mexico, in Hong Kong, and in Egypt. It is

Kong, Mexico, Spain and the UK, Ireland and Malta.
Accolades
On January 25, 2011, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences announced that Toy Story 3 was not only nominated for Best
Animated Feature, but also for Best Picture. This makes Toy Story 3 not
only the first only animated sequel in history to be nominated for Best
Picture, but also the third animated film to be nominated for Best Picture
(following Disney's Beauty and the Beast and Disney·Pixar's Up). Toy
Story 3 becoming the second Pixar film to be nominated for both awards. Toy
Story 3 also became the first ever Pixar film to be nominated for the Academy
Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, though six of Pixar's previous films were
nominated for the Best Original Screenplay – (Toy Story, Finding Nemo,
The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL-E, and Up). In
2011, it was nominated for a Kids' Choice Award for favorite animated movie,
but lost to Despicable Me.

as MP3 and AAC. This was the second instance where Disney did not release the
award-winning soundtrack of a Pixar film on Compact disc. The first Pixar film
not to have its soundtrack released on compact disc by Disney was UP. In

In addition to the tracks included in the soundtrack
album, the film also uses "Dream Weaver" by Gary Wright, "Le
Freak" by Chic, and Randy Newman's original version of "You've Got a
Friend in Me."
Also, tracks "Cowboy!" and "Come to
Papa" included material from Newman's rejected score to Air Force One.
The song "Losing You" from Newman's own album Harps and Angels
was also used in the first trailer for the film.
The Judas Priest song "Electric Eye" was used
in the temp score for the opening scene of Toy Story 3. The aliens are
playing the tune in their sports car. But the song was ultimately replaced by
another piece of music.

Possible sequel
In June 2011, Tom Hanks, the voice of Woody in the films,
was asked while promoting Larry Crowne whether or not there would be a
sequel for his grandchildren to see. "I think there will be, yeah. I think
they're working on it now," he said, referring to Pixar. However, no such
sequel has been announced.
