action
Andy is 17 years old and is preparing for college . He no longer needs his former favorite toys. So he plans to put everyone in the attic except for Cowboy Woody, whom he plans to take to college. However, he leaves the bag with the toys in front of the stairs, whereupon his mother puts it on the street, assuming that there is rubbish in it.
Woody tries to save his toy friends. But these have already freed themselves from the bag and are hiding in a box with toys that are to be donated to the Sunnyside day care center . Woody is mistakenly taken away too. Sunnyside is a toy paradise at first sight, but Woody is not fooled and leaves his friends to return to Andy.
The day care center soon turns out to be hell when Andy's remaining toys are badly battered by the youngest children in the day care center. So they want to persuade Sunnyside's head of toys, Lotso Cuddly Bear, to let them switch to the quieter part. After the space ranger Buzz Lightyear escapes from the room, he realizes that Lotso is a cruel dictator. Lotso's minions capture Buzz and use his instruction manual to erase his memory. From then on, Buzz works as Lotso's guardian and helps lock up the other toys.
Meanwhile, Woody is found on the way to Andy by the little girl Bonnie, who takes him home. A clown lives with her who was once a friend of Lotso's. He explains how Lotso became the dictator he is today. Woody then returns to Sunnyside to save his friends. When trying to get Buzz back to the correct polarity, it is accidentally switched to Spanish. Shortly afterwards, Buzz falls in love with the cowgirl Jessie.
Now Andy's toys try to escape from Sunnyside after Mrs. Naseweis saw with her lost eye in Andy's room that he was looking for them. Shortly before the goal, however, they are caught by Lotso and his henchmen. Woody manages to pull the henchmen on his side, whereupon Lotso's former gang member "Big Baby" pushes Lotso into a dumpster after a fight and Lotso pulls Woody into it. Andy's toys try to save him, but they all end up in the garbage truck. He dumps them in a waste incineration plant. Buzz is correctly polarized on the way by an old television falling on him. In the facility, the toys are placed on a conveyor belt, where they can initially escape from being dismembered. Woody rescues the trapped Lotso, who then climbs off the conveyor belt. He would now have the chance to protect the toys from the fire by switching off the system, but he abandons them and separates from the group. This is now trapped in the combustion chamber and just before combustion. Since the situation seems hopeless, all the toys hold hands in order to face the impending "death" together. At the last second, however, they are rescued by the three "aliens" using a crane. Lotso, on the other hand, is found by a truck driver and tied to the grille of his truck.
The toys return to Andy with the garbage truck and prepare for existence in the attic. Woody feels this is unfair and leaves Andy a message: He should give his toys to the girl Bonnie. At the end of the film, Andy says goodbye to his toys and even plays with them one last time with Bonnie. In the credits you can also see that the conditions in Sunnyside are more pleasant again.
production
Before Disney Studios bought Pixar in January 2006, it looked like a split between the two studios. Disney had the rights to all previous Pixar films and characters and thus independently commissioned a second sequel to Toy Story . The Circle 7 Animation Studio , founded independently by Disney, was supposed to develop the third part, the story was written by Jim Herzfeld. It was originally supposed to be about Buzz's malfunctioning and being sent to Taiwan for the other toys to be repaired . On the Internet , however, the toys find out that defective toys have been recalled worldwide. Fearing that Buzz could be “disposed of”, the toys travel after their friend to rescue him. Meanwhile, Buzz has encountered other toys from all over the world that have also been “sorted out”.
After Disney bought Pixar and it was agreed that Pixar would develop the sequel itself, all plans were abandoned. In just one weekend, John Lasseter , Andrew Stanton , Pete Docter and Lee Unkrich brainstormed the story for the film. Stanton wrote a treatment and Oscar winner Michael Arndt ( Little Miss Sunshine ) set about writing the script.
After a first demonstration of the plot using storyboards, first voice recordings, sound effects and music, Tom Hanks , Tim Allen and John Ratzenberger signed for the film. The animation started in April 2009. Director Unkrich and the animation team all shaved their heads at the start of production. Unkrich: "Now that we are all bald, the plan: Let's see who can do without a haircut or shave the longest."

“[…] Because marketing optimization or not, 'Toy Story 3' is an incredibly entertaining and even surprisingly courageous film that can easily compete with earlier Pixar classics - in the truest sense of the word. [...] One would like to rant louder about the fact that Pixar will be playing it safe more and more in the future and will primarily rely on sequels. But as long as the upcoming sequels 'Cars 2' and 'Die Monster AG 2' are just as brilliant as 'Toy Story 3', there is absolutely no reason to complain. "
"[...] How can it be that a bulging-eyed plastic cowboy develops more character from the computer on the screen and appears less artificial than real Hollywood stars such as Tom Cruise ? Maybe they just think a little longer about Pixar, maybe sometimes they even let themselves be moved to tears. It does not have to be a contradiction in terms to use the latest trick technology to write declarations of love for old-fashioned toys. "
“Maybe Toy Story 3 is a little more action and a little less emotion, but hey, that's probably the trend in Hollywood. And the Pixar people have come up with a lot for a third edition [...]. "

The film won the US National Board of Review Award for best animated film as well as the Golden Globe Award and the British Academy Film Award in this category.
