Toy Story 3

Toy Story 3 is a forthcoming sequel to Toy Story and Toy Story 2 being directed by Lee Unkrich for a June 18, 2010 release. The story starts as Andy is getting ready to head off for college. It will be made in Disney Digital 3-D (Toy Story and Toy Story 2 will be re-released in Disney Digital 3-D before the release of Toy Story 3). It is being produced by Darla K. Anderson and the music will be composed by Toy Story and Toy Story 2 composer Randy Newman. The film is currently in post-production.

As described in the Disney press release:

"The creators of the beloved "Toy Story" films re-open the toy box and bring moviegoers back to the delightful world of Woody, Buzz and our favorite gang of toy characters in "Toy Story 3." Lee Unkrich (co-director of "Toy Story 2" and "Finding Nemo") directs this highly anticipated film, and Michael Arndt, the Academy Award®-winning screenwriter of "Little Miss Sunshine," brings his unique talents and comedic sensibilities to the proceedings."

Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Don Rickles, Estelle Harris, John Ratzenberger, Wallace Shawn, Jeff Pidgeon, R. Lee Ermey, John Morris, and Laurie Metcalf all reprise their roles. However, Jim Varney, who voiced Slinky in the previous films, and Joe Ranft, who voiced Wheezy and Lenny in the previous films, both passed away since the second film so they will not be returning.

Plot
Andy (John Morris), now nearly 18 years old, is just 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.

Andy plans to put them in the attic, but when his mother accidentally throws them away, the toys decide to stow away in a box of other toys headed for donation to Sunnyside Daycare.

When they arrive at Sunnyside the meet many new faces such as a pink teddy bear called Lotso (Ned Beatty), who is the leader of the Sunnyside toys and a smooth-talking Ken (Michael Keaton) doll, who falls head over heals for Molly's Barbie (Jodi Benson) doll.

The toys are keen on starting a new life at the daycare, except for Woody. Woody tries to escape but ends up being taken home by a little girl, named Bonnie, who takes him to meet her own toys including Trixie the Triceratops (Kristen Schaal), and the thespian hedgehog Mr. Pricklepants (Timothy Dalton).

It isn't long before the other toys discover that some of their new friends aren't as friendly as they thought. When Woody returns the toys try to return to Andy, but Buzz is damaged during an escape attempt. The toys try to reset Buzz, only to make him revert to a delusional Spanish version of his old self, much to the other toys' discomfort and Jessie's amazement.

The toys all work together to get Woody home in time before Andy leaves for college.
