Andy is heading off to college, and of course, he can't have his old toys hanging around his dorm room. So in the first few minutes of the movie, we watch him reflect on the past when he played with his toys everyday, to now, where he is more concerned with his computer and cell phone and his toys lie in the toybox all day. He struggles with the decision of whether to donate them to the local daycare: "Sunnyside", or send all but Woody to the attic. He chooses to bag them up and put them in the attic. Of course, something goes wrong and his idiot mother mistakes the bag for trash, and discards it on the curb while the garbage truck is just a few feet away. Woody notices this, and tries to rescue them. He fails, but just when you think they are heading for the incinerator, Woody notices them crawling toward the van. He races toward them, and finds all the toys climbing into the Sunnyside donation box. The toys proclaim that Andy threw them away, and doesn't love them anymore. Much to Woody's argument, the toys don't back down, and get donated to the daycare, along with Woody.
When they arrive at the daycare, they are escorted by the lead pack of toys at the daycare. Lotso Huggin' Bear, Ken, a baby, and a few other toys. They are carted around the daycare, and treated like royalty. Woody still believes that Andy wants him, so he escapes the daycare. Almost. He gets picked up by a little girl named Bonnie, where he finds that Bonnie is just like a little Andy, in that she plays with her toys often. While Andy spends the night at Bonnie's, the rest of the toys spend their first night at the daycare.
Now lets skip past a lot, and just say that the daycare sucks, and the lead pack of toys are evil. Lotso Huggin' Bear is the meanest, and we find this out due to the fact that he and the baby were lost, and Lotso was replaced by his owner, Daisy. Woody finds this out, and makes it his mission to bust the toys out of the daycare. Needless to say, he achieves this. He busts the toys out, but they get stuck in a dumpster with Lotso on the way out, (as was their original destiny).
Woody takes it upon himself to try and then escape the landfill, and they seem to be making it out alive, even with Lotso, when he backstabs them, and leaves the toys to die in the trash incinerator. So get this! The toys are like.. "oh well!" so they grab each others hands and get ready to just be melted down to putz! I was sitting in that expensive movie chair going "WHAT?!" But then they miraculously get saved by the claw, (reference to the first movie) and find their way back to Andy, while Lotso gets tacked to the grill of a garbage truck.
In the end, the toys get in a box to get shoved up to the attic, when Woody makes a split-second decision to make Andy donate the box of toys to Bonnie.
The movie closes on Bonnie and Andy playing with the whole gang, Jessie (:P), the aliens, Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, Rex, Hamm, Bullseye, Woody, and Buzz. It was so beautiful! Then Andy goes to college and the movie ends.
Note that I left out A TON from the movie, so you should still go see it, even though I just wrecked it for you.
Firstly, (and the part that nobody really cares about), the animation was incredible. Compared to the first and second movies, this was such a different change in quality. Of course, that comes with age and the revolution of technology, but oh my goodness. The movement from the characters was so fluid, and the details of the items just laying around were unbelieveable! For example, there were some photos tacked to Andy's wall, and I couldn't help but notice the incredible detail on not just the picture, but the photograph paper itself. The look of the fur on the Lotso Huggin' bear was fantastic. The immense amount of detail put into just the supporting details of each scene were phenomenal.There were tons of connections and references to the first and second movies, and to Pixar as a whole.
Nevertheless, the movie was horrifying. There are certainly some parts that even I screamed at. Well just one part. With the stupid monkey. He was in charge of making sure that no toys escaped the daycare, and when they went to go tie him up, he jolted around and Wyatt, Kaila and I all jumped in shock. Also, I couldn't believe they tricked me into believing that they were going to die by jumping into that trash inferno thing. After everything, they were going to just give up and melt. But they didn't. And my diaper was safe.
BUT; there were parts that were absolutely hilarious. Wyatt, Kaila and I were laughing so hard, we were almost rolling around on the nasty theatre floor. Three words. "Get the tortilla". HILARIOUS. There was definitely a new take on the humor, venturing far out from the first two movies. Oh man, you should definitely see it if you are looking for a great laugh.
