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, and John Morris, 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 died since the second film, so they won't be returning.

Plot
'''Warning: This plot is full and complete as a result of early screenings. Read at your own discretion.''' Andy (John Morris), now nearly 18 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.

Woody goes to save his friends 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 (Michael Keaton) doll, who falls in love with Molly's Barbie (Jodi Benson) doll. 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 (James Anthony Cotton), 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 Lotso's henchmen, were once owned by a loving girl named Daisy. However, one day, she accidentally left them at the countryside one day. They returned to Daisy's house to find that Daisy's parents bought a new Lotso bear for her, leaving Lotso feeling betrayed and confused. The toys go to Sunnyside where Lotso and Big Baby quickly rose to power and transformed the daycare into a toy prison, while Chuckles was taken home by Bonnie.

Woody quickly realizes that he must save his friends and also 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 they realize that Andy 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 brings them to a room in Sunnyside populated mainly by the kind, veteran toys of the daycare. They quickly formulate an escape plan to find Andy with the help of the Chatter Telephone. However, their plan does not go as expected, and they are imprisoned once again for the night, besides Woody, who manages to hide. He helps his friends escape from the crates and hold down Buzz. They attempt to fix him, but accidentally reset him into Spanish mode, much to the toys' discomfort and Jessie's amazement.

Soon, Lotso catches the toys, but everyone falls down a garbage chute by accident, including Lotso. The toys are accidentally taken away by a garbage truck and end up in the dump, where the aliens run off. After sifting through trash for a while, Buzz is reverted back to his normal mode, but the toys quickly find out that they're all on a conveyor belt headed towards shredders and an incinerator. The toys barely manage to avoid various death traps, and even save Lotso at one point. Lotso manages to escape the conveyor belt, but reluctantly decides not to hit a button which will turn off the conveyor belt and save the toys.

The toys can't climb up through the trash piles, so they are forced to slowly slip down towards the incinerator. They all realize that this is the end and that they will never get back to Andy. However, at the last possible moment the aliens use the garbage claw to save the toys. Lotso, meanwhile, is strapped to the front of one of the garbage men's trucks.

Woody and the toys return to Andy's house the morning of his departure, where they decide that Woody should go to college with Andy and the rest should go into storage. Woody tries to write a post-it note for the toys to remember him by, but is stopped when Andy enters the room. He sees the sticky note, confused, and this is the closest interaction Andy and Woody have had. Andy takes all of the toys, including Woody, and drives away. He stops at Bonnie's house; it turns out that she is Andy's cousin.

Andy takes each of the toys and explains to Bonnie their names and personalities. With Bonnie, he plays with the toys for one last time. He then drives off, and Woody and Buzz proudly accept that their life with Andy is complete. The toys find themselves with a loving new owner in a safe home.
