Toy Story 3 is an American computer-animated 3D film and IMAX 3D film, produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the third installment in the Toy Story series and is scheduled for release in theaters on June 18, 2010 in the United States, June 24, 2010 in Australia and July 23, 2010 in the United Kingdom and Ireland.[3][4] Lee Unkrich, who edited the previous films, and co-directed the second, takes over as director. Ken Schretzmann is the editor.

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 all reprise their roles from the previous films. Jim Varney, who played Slinky Dog in the first two movies, and Joe Ranft, who played Lenny and Wheezy, have both died since the second film was released.

Plot

Andy Davis, age 17, is a mere three days away from heading off to college. His remaining personal toys, including Woody and Buzz Lightyear, are worried about their uncertain future, since several of Davis' toys, including Bo Peep and Wheezy, have departed in yard sales for quite some time.

At first, Andy intends to take only Woody with him. The others will go into trash bags, bound for the Davis’ attic. Andy’s mom takes his trash bag out to the curb, however, not realizing its contents, much to Andy’s dismay later on. Woody sets out to save his friends, but they’ve already escaped, and are hiding in the back of the Davis' car, thinking Andy has deliberately thrown them away. Jessie asserts that the toys should take charge of their own destiny, convincing them to stow away with a box of other family toys, headed for donation to Sunnyside Daycare, as Woody vainly attempts to explain Andy’s true intentions. But it’s too late: Andy's mom closes the rear hatch of the car, headed for Sunnyside to donate the boxed toys.

The gang arrives at Sunnyside just as the children leave for recess. Andy's toys are welcomed by Sunnyside’s plethora of toys with open arms, including their leader, Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear (A.K.A. "Lotso"); a smooth-talking Ken doll, who immediately falls in love with Molly's Barbie; and a classic doll covered in crayon tattoos named Big Baby. The new arrivals are keen on starting their new lives at the daycare, except for Woody, who has suspicions about the daycare after an encounter with Chatter Telephone. He also thinks that the toys shouldn't turn their back on Andy quite so quickly.

The toys think Woody should stay with them at Sunnyside, but Woody reluctantly leaves to find Andy. Soon Woody escapes from Sunnyside using a kite as 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, who takes him to meet her own toys, Chuckles the Clown, Mr. Pricklepants, Trixie, Buttercup, Dolly, the Peas-in-a-Pod and Totoro. As Woody tries to recuperate himself and continue his search for Andy, Chuckles explains to Woody the dangers of Sunnyside.

Chuckles tells Woody that he, Lotso and Big Baby were once owned by a loving girl named Daisy. However, one day, she accidentally left them in the countryside. They returned to Daisy's house to find that Daisy's parents bought a new Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear for her, leaving Lotso feeling betrayed and hostile towards all toy owners. The toys went to Sunnyside where Lotso and Big Baby quickly rose to power and transformed the daycare into a toy prison for those left there, while Chuckles was taken home by Bonnie. Woody quickly realizes that he must save his friends from the daycare and its head occupants and get back to Andy before he leaves.

Meanwhile, at the daycare, Buzz and the gang have been relegated to the "caterpillar room" by Lotso, where they are played with by hyperactive toddlers, which is especially hazardous for the piecemeal Potato Heads. At the end of the day, Buzz and the gang decide they’ll return to the "butterfly room", where they’re age appropriate; but this is a daycare—the doors are all locked. Buzz manages to jump through the transom, and discovers Ken and other toys heading to the teacher’s lounge snack machine. He quietly follows them in. Buzz watches the veteran toys playing some kind of roulette, until he is ratted out by Big Baby. Buzz is tied to a chair and is about to be tortured, until Lotso arrives and orders the other toys to release him. Buzz asks Lotso, if he and his friends can relocate to the "butterfly room", but Lotso agrees to only allow Buzz to transfer. Buzz insists that he must stay together with his friends. An indifferent Lotso orders him tied up again. Buzz knows too much, but this is not a fatal mistake: the toys have access to the manual that accompanies every new Buzz Lightyear toy. Meanwhile, in the "butterfly room", the gang makes a discovery through the eye that Mrs. Potato Head left in Andy's room, that he indeed was looking for them and intended to put them in the attic, but they are captured by the reset Buzz who believes the gang are helping Emperor Zurg and that Lotso is his commander.

Woody returns to Sunnyside in order to help his friends just the day before Andy leaves for college, Woody asks Chatter Telephone for help and informs Woody that he must get rid of a monkey toy that controls the AV room and watches everything that happens in the daycare through cameras. When the night falls, Woody and Slinky fight the monkey and gets the keys to all the rooms. Barbie blackmails Ken into telling her what Lotso did to Buzz and heads to get the instruction manual. Hamm and Rex manage to trap Buzz and with Woody's help and the instruction manual try to change Buzz from demo mode to play mode, so they ask Rex to press the reset button, but by mistake they press it, for more than 5 seconds configuring Buzz in Spanish mode.

Main article: List of Toy Story characters

Non-speaking characters include Bullseye, Big Baby, Totoro, and the Monkey.

Several of Andy's other toys (such as Bo Peep, RC, and Wheezy) are revealed to have been sold, given away or put in the attic years after Toy Story 2.

Development

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.[7]

Promotional art for Circle 7's Toy Story 3, displaying the storyline of the Buzz Lightyears being recalled; this story was later shelved.

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.[7]

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 shelved.[7] The following month, Disney CEO Robert Iger confirmed that Disney was in the process of transferring the production to Pixar.[8] 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.[9] 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, and Michael Arndt as Screenwriter.[10] The release date was moved to 2010.[11]

When the people behind the movie sat down to look at their work from the original Toy Story during the early development stages, they found they "literally couldn’t open the files".[12]

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.[13]

Dolby Laboratories announced that Toy Story 3 will be the first movie that will feature the Dolby Surround 7.1 audio format.[14]

Marketing

The film's first teaser trailer was released with the Disney Digital 3-D version of the film Up on May 29, 2009.[15] On October 2, 2009 Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were re-released as a double feature in Disney Digital 3-D.[4] 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. 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 will make toys to promote the film.[16][17] Disney Interactive Studios has also produced a video game based on the film which is to be released June 15 2010.[18]

Toy Story 3 was featured in Apple's iPhone OS 4 Event on 7 June 2010, with Steve Jobs demoing a Toy Story 3 themed iAd written in HTML5.[19]

Pixar designed a commercial for a 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 the 1980s.[20] A Japanese version of the commercial was also released online.[21]

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 will be featured in the film. It was choreographed by Cheryl Burke and Tony Dovolani.[22][23]

Sneak peeks of the film are shown on Disney Channel. One sneak peek was shown on Cartoon Network in the United States on June 10, 2010.

Reception

The film has received extremely positive reviews. Review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes reports that 100% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 25 reviews, with an average score of 8.7/10[24] Peter Debruge from Variety gave the film a positive review saying: "This tertiary adventure delivers welcome yet nonessential fun, landing well after its creators have grown up and succeeded toying with more sophisticated stories."[25] Michael Rechtshaffen from Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a positive review, saying: "Woody, Buzz and playmates make a thoroughly engaging, emotionally satisfying return."[26]
