Toy Story 3 is a 2010 American 3D computer-animated comedy-adventure film, and the third installment in the Toy Story series.[2] It was produced by Pixar and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It was directed by Lee Unkrich. The film was released worldwide from June through October[3] in Disney Digital 3-D, RealD and IMAX 3D. Toy Story 3 was also the first film to be released theatrically with 7.1 surround sound.
The plot focuses on the toys Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Tim Allen), and their friends dealing with an uncertain future as their owner, Andy, prepares to leave for college. 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 reprised their voice-over roles from the previous films. Jim Varney, who played Slinky Dog in the first two films, and Joe Ranft, who portrayed Lenny and Wheezy, both died before production began on Toy Story 3. The role of Slinky Dog was taken over by Blake Clark(a friend of Varney), while Ranft's characters and various others were written out of the story. New characters include performances by Ned Beatty, Timothy Dalton, Kristen Schaal, Bonnie Hunt, Whoopi Goldberg, Jeff Garlin, Richard Kind, and Michael Keaton.
The feature broke Shrek the Third's record as the biggest opening day North American gross for an animated film unadjusted for inflation[4] and a big opening with an unadjusted gross of $110,307,189. It is also the highest-grossing opening weekend for a Pixar film,[5] as well as the highest-grossing opening weekend for a film to have opened in the month of June.[6] The film is the highest-grossing film of 2010 in the United States and Canada, and the highest-grossing film of 2010 worldwide. In July, it surpassed Finding Nemo to become Pixar's highest ever grossing film at the North American box office. In early August, the film surpassed Shrek 2 as the highest-grossing animated film of all-time worldwide;[7] later that month, Toy Story 3 became the first ever animated film in history to make over $1 billion worldwide.[8] It is currently the 8th highest-grossing film of all time.
Toy Story 3 was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Sound Editing.[9] It was the third animated film (after Beauty and the Beast and Up) to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. It won the awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song.
Andy, now nearly 18 years old,[10] goes off to college, and his toys feel like they have been abandoned as they have not been played with for several years. Andy decides to take Woody with him to college and puts Buzz and the rest of the toys in a trash bag for storage in the attic. However, the toys are accidentally thrown out when Andy's mom finds the bag and puts it out on the curb, causing the toys to think that they are no longer wanted. They escape and decide to climb in a donation box for the Sunnyside Daycare. Woody, the only toy who saw what actually happened, follows the other toys and tries to explain they were thrown out by mistake, but they refuse to believe him.
Andy's toys are welcomed by the many toys at Sunnyside and given a tour of the seemingly perfect play-setting by Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear (simply known as Lotso), Big Baby and Ken, whom Barbie falls for. All of the toys immediately love their new home, leaving a steadfast Woody alone in an attempt to return to Andy. Woody's escape attempt falls short and he is found outside by Bonnie, an imaginative little girl. She takes him home and plays with him along with her other toys, who are well-treated, happy, and readily welcome Woody. Woody is relieved until he hears about Lotso's back story from Chuckles the sad clown. Lotso, along with Chuckles and Big Baby, were once accidentally lost by their original owner, Daisy. The three found their way back to Daisy's home, but Lotso saw that he had been replaced with another Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear. Though Chuckles realized the truth, Lotso convinced Big Baby that they had all been replaced. The three of them made their way to Sunnyside, which Lotso took over as his personal fiefdom, running it like a prison and a military base at night. Chuckles rallied an escape, but was the only one to make it out of Sunnyside, though broken, and was found and taken home by Bonnie. Worried for his friends, Woody hurries back to the daycare to find that they have been confined to the room with the rambunctious youngest toddlers. After Andy's toys' hectic first day spent at Sunnyside, Buzz discovers that the daycare is like a prison during night, and is captured by Lotso's gang, who gains his allegiance by having him reverted to demonstration mode, restoring his original "Space Ranger" persona from the first movie. The other toys discover that Woody was right about Andy, but Lotso, with Buzz's help, prevents them from leaving the daycare.
Woody rejoins his friends and they stage an escape plan. In the process, Buzz is accidentally reset into a Spanish mode, in which he becomes very flamboyantly chivalrous and has no memory of his past; despite this, Buzz allies himself with Woody's friends. The toys reach a dumpster, but are caught by Lotso and his gang. As a garbage truck approaches, Woody reveals what he heard about Lotso, leading Big Baby to toss the latter into the dumpster. Afterwards, Lotso pulls Woody in with him just as the truck collects the trash. Woody's friends fall into the back of the truck trying to rescue him. A falling television hits Buzz when he tries to save Jessie, finally returning him to his normal self. The toys find themselves at the dump and are pushed onto a conveyor belt leading to a garbage shredder. Woody and Buzz save Lotso just in time as he is about to be shredded. Woody and the other toys are then pushed onto another conveyor belt leading to an incinerator. The toys help Lotso reach an emergency stop button, but he leaves them to their deaths. Thinking that this is the end, the toys grasp each others' hands. The toys are eventually rescued by the Aliens using a giant claw. Lotso makes his way outside, but a passing truck driver finds Lotso and recognizing he had the toy as a kid, straps him to the radiator grill of his truck. Meanwhile, Woody and his friends board a neighborhood trash truck back to Andy's house.
In Andy's room, Woody climbs back into the box with Andy's college supplies while the other toys ready themselves for the attic. Remembering his time with Bonnie and her toys, Woody has an idea and leaves a note for Andy on the toys' box. Andy, thinking the note was from his mother, takes the box to Bonnie's home, introduces his old toys to Bonnie and gives them to her to play with. In the end, Bonnie recognizes Woody, who, to Andy's surprise, is lying at the bottom of the box. Andy is initially reluctant to give him up, but he eventually does so and then spends some time playing with her. Before departing, Andy takes one last look at the toys, saying "Thanks guys," and drives away. Woody, watching Andy departing, responds back by saying: "So long, partner." Woody and the other toys find themselves wanted and played with again.
During the credits, Woody and the other toys learn through notes passed in Bonnie's backpack that Barbie, Ken, and Big Baby have improved the lives of all the toys (now including an Emperor Zurg action figure,) at Sunnyside. Buzz and Jessie (now a couple) dance to a Spanish version of "You've Got a Friend in Me."
Totoro, Bullseye, Monkey, and Buster, Andy's pet dog are all voiced by Frank Welker.
- Jack-in-the-box, Janitor, and Big Baby are not credited in the film, however their voice-actors were confirmed by Lee Unkrich.
- Several other characters (such as Bo Peep, RC, and Wheezy) are only seen in flashbacks.
- The character of Slinky Dog appeared to be in limbo after the death of his original voice actor Jim Varney on February 10, 2000, just two months after Toy Story 2 was released. Stand-up comedian-turned-actor Blake Clark was chosen to replace Varney in the role. After Clark was cast to play Slinky Dog, the producers later realized that Blake Clark and Jim Varney had coincidentally been close friends since they appeared in the 1989 movie Fast Food, making the transition a lot easier.[13]
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.[14]
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.[14]
Lee Unkrich, pictured at the Toy Story 3 panel at WonderCon 2010 in April 2010, was the full-time director for the film.
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 cancelled.[14] The character designs went into the Disney archives.[15] The following month, Disney CEO Robert Iger confirmed that Disney was in the process of transferring the production to Pixar.[16] 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.[17] 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 (who was busy directing Cars 2), and Michael Arndt as screenwriter.[18] The release date was moved to 2010.[19] Unkrich said that he felt pressure to avoid creating "the first dud" for Pixar, since as of 2010 all of Pixar's films had been commercial and critical successes.[20]
During the initial development stages of the film, Pixar revisited their work from the original Toy Story and found that although they could open the old computer files for the animated 3D models, error messages prevented them from editing the files. This necessitated recreating the models from scratch.[21] To create the chaotic and complex junkyard scene near the film's end, more than a year and a half was invested on research and development to create the simulation systems required for the sequence.[22]
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.[23]
Dolby Laboratories announced that Toy Story 3 would be the first film that will feature theatrical 7.1 surround audio.[24] Thus, even the Blu-ray version will feature original 7.1 audio, unlike other movies which were remixed into 7.1 for Blu-ray.
The film's first teaser trailer was released with the Disney Digital 3-D version of the film Up on May 29, 2009.[25] On October 2, 2009, Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were re-released as a double feature in Disney Digital 3-D.[26] 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 and How to Train Your Dragon. 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 produced toys to promote the film. Fisher Price, a Mattel Company, has released Toy Story 3 with 21 3D images for viewing with the View-Master viewer.[27][28] Disney Interactive Studios also produced a video game based on the film, Toy Story 3: The Video Game, which was released on June 15, 2010.[29]
Toy Story 3 was featured in Apple's iPhone OS 4 Event on April 8, 2010, with Steve Jobs demonstrating a Toy Story 3 themed iAd written in HTML5.[30]
Pixar designed a commercial for the 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 around 1983.[31] A Japanese version of the commercial was also released online.[32]
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 was choreographed by Cheryl Burke and Tony Dovolani.[33][34] Both the song and dance are featured in the film.
Toy Story 3 was also promoted with airings of the first and second films on several channels in the upcoming weeks of the film's release, including Disney Channel, Disney XD, and ABC Family. Sneak peeks of Toy Story 3 were also revealed, primarily on Disney Channel.
Unlike most recent Oscar campaigns, Toy Story 3's "Not since..." campaign drew a lot of attention during the holiday period, emphasizing on the film's uniqueness and universal critical acclaim.[35]
Toy Story 3 was released in North America on November 2, 2010 in a standard DVD edition, two-disc Blu-ray and in a four-disc Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack. Behind the scenes are featured including a sneak peek teaser for the upcoming Cars 2, the sequel to the 2006 film, Cars.[36] A 10-disc Toy Story trilogy Blu-ray box set also arrived on store shelves on the same day.[37] A 3D version of the Blu-ray was released in North America on November 1, 2011.
On its first week of release (November 2–7, 2010) it sold 3,859,736 units (equal to $73,096,452) ranking No.1 for the week and immediately becoming the best-selling animated film of 2010 in terms of units sold (surpassing How to Train Your Dragon). As of June 19, 2011, it has sold 10,896,954 units ($185,650,361).[38] It has become the best-selling DVD of 2010 in terms of units sold, but it lacks in terms of sales revenue and therefore ranks second behind Avatar on that list.[39] It also sold about 4.0 million Blu-ray units, ranking as the fourth best-selling movie of 2010.[40]
In the UK, it broke the record for the largest first day ever for animated feature both on DVD and Blu-ray in terms of sales revenue. Additionally, on its first day of release on iTunes it immediately became the most downloaded Disney film ever.[41]
[edit] Reception
Toy Story 3 has received universal acclaim from film critics. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reports that 99% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 253 reviews, with an average score of 8.8/10.[42] On the all-time Best of Rotten Tomatoes list it ranks fourth[43] and was the best reviewed film of 2010.[44] Another review aggregator, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, calculated a score of 92 based on 39 reviews.[45] TIME named Toy Story 3 the best movie of 2010,[46] as did Quentin Tarantino.[47] In 2011, TIME named it one of "The 25 All-TIME Best Animated Films".[48]
A. O. Scott of The New York Times stated, "This film—this whole three-part, 15-year epic—about the adventures of a bunch of silly plastic junk turns out also to be a long, melancholy meditation on loss, impermanence and that noble, stubborn, foolish thing called love."[49] Owen Gleiberman from Entertainment Weekly gave the film an A, saying, "Even with the bar raised high, Toy Story 3 enchanted and moved me so deeply I was flabbergasted that a digitally animated comedy about plastic playthings could have this effect."[50] Gleiberman also wrote in the next issue that he, along with many other grown men, cried at the end of the film.[51] Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a positive review, saying, "Woody, Buzz and playmates make a thoroughly engaging, emotionally satisfying return."[52] Mark Kermode of the BBC gave the film, and the series, a glowing review, calling it "the best movie trilogy of all time".[53] In USA Today, Claudia Puig gave the film a complete 4 star rating, writing, "This installment, the best of the three, is everything a movie should be: hilarious, touching, exciting and clever."[54] Lou Lumenick of the New York Post wrote, "Toy Story 3 (which is pointlessly being shown in 3-D at most locations) may not be a masterpiece, but it still had me in tears at the end."[55] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, writing that, "Compared with the riches of all kinds in recent Pixar masterworks such as Ratatouille, WALL-E and Up, Toy Story 3 looks and plays like an exceptionally slick and confident product, as opposed to a magical blend of commerce and popular art."[56] Orlando Sentinel film critic Roger Moore, who gave the film 3½ out of 4 stars, wrote, "Dazzling, scary and sentimental, Toy Story 3 is a dark and emotional conclusion to the film series that made Pixar famous."[57]
Pixar and Ned Beatty received positive reception for the writing and his voice performance of Lotso. Critics and audiences gave the character praise for his back story, seeing him as a tragic villain.
Toy Story 3 earned $415,004,880 in North America and $648,167,031 in other countries, which totals up to $1,063,171,911 worldwide,[8] more revenue than the previous two films of the series combined. It is the highest-grossing film of 2010[58] and the 8th highest-grossing film of all time.[59] On its first weekend, Toy Story 3 topped the worldwide box office with $145.3 million ($153.7 million with weekday previews), which stands as the third-largest opening weekend worldwide for an animated feature.[60]
Toy Story 3 is the highest-grossing Disney·Pixar film[61] and the highest-grossing animated film,[62] both of all time. In terms of estimated attendance, though, it still ranks fourth on the list of modern animated films, behind Shrek 2, Finding Nemo and The Lion King.[62] After 71 days of release, it surpassed the $1 billion mark, becoming the second Disney film in 2010 (after Alice in Wonderland), the third Disney film (the other being Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest), and the only animated film to achieve this.[62] It is the third highest-grossing Disney film of all time worldwide behind The Avengers and Dead Man's Chest.[63]
Toy Story 3 grossed $41,148,961 on its opening day (Friday, June 18, 2010) at the box office from 4,028 theaters, marking the largest opening day for an animated film.[64] During its opening weekend, the film grossed $110,307,189, topping the weekend chart and marking the highest-grossing opening weekend for a Pixar film.[65] It averaged $27,385 per venue, marking the second-highest for a G-rated movie and the second-highest for an animated feature.[66] The film had the second-highest opening weekend for an animated film[67] and also had the fourth best opening weekend for a 2010 film.[68] It set opening-weekend records for films opening in June[69] and for G-rated films.[70] It scored the ninth top summer opening weekend of all-time.[71] It also had the highest 10-day gross among 2010 films.[72] In its first week (Friday-through-Thursday), Toy Story 3 grossed $167.6 million marking the biggest opening week for an animated film and the seventh largest opening week of all time.[73] It remained at the #1 spot for two consecutive weekends.[74]
Toy Story 3 became the highest-grossing film of 2010[75] and Pixar's highest-grossing film of all time.[76] It is also the second highest grossing G-rated movie of all time[77] and Disney's second film to reach $400 million (the other being Dead Man's Chest with $423 million).[78] Toy Story 3 is also the third highest-grossing animated film of all time behind Shrek 2 and The Lion King,[79] as well as the 11th highest-grossing film of all time. Adjusted for inflation, though, it ranks eighty-eighth on the all-time chart.[80]
It is the second highest-grossing animated film of all time, behind Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs ($690.1 million), the third highest-grossing 2010 film[81] and the fourth highest-grossing Disney film.[82] It topped the box office outside North America three times, on its first ($35.0 million),[83] second,[84] and sixth weekend (which was its largest).[85]
Its highest-grossing market after North America is Japan ($126.7 million),[86] where it is the highest-grossing U.S. animated feature,[62] followed by the UK, Ireland and Malta (£73.8 million - $116.6 million), where it is the third highest-grossing film of all time behind Avatar and Titanic,[87] and Mexico ($59.4 million), where it is the second highest-grossing film of all time, behind Marvel's The Avengers.[88] It set opening weekend records for animated films in Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico, China, Argentina,[89] Hong Kong,[90] Spain and the UK.[91] As of March 2012, it is the highest-grossing animated film of all time in Hong Kong,[92] Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia and Egypt. It is the highest-grossing film of 2010 in Argentina,[93] Bolivia,[94] Chile,[95] Colombia,[96] Hong Kong,[97] Mexico,[98] Spain[99] and the UK.[100]
On January 25, 2011, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that Toy Story 3 was not only nominated for Best Animated Feature, but also for Best Picture. This makes Toy Story 3 only the third animated film to be nominated for Best Picture (following Disney's Beauty and the Beast and Disney·Pixar's Up). Toy Story 3 became the second Pixar film to be nominated for both awards.[101] Toy Story 3 also became the first ever Pixar film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, though six of Pixar's previous films were nominated for the Best Original Screenplay – (Toy Story, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL-E, and Up). In 2011, it was nominated for a Kids' Choice Award for favorite animated movie, but lost to Despicable Me.
The film score of Toy Story 3 was composed and conducted by Randy Newman, his sixth for Pixar after Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc. and Cars. Disney did not release the soundtrack album for Toy Story 3 on compact disc. It was only available, initially, as music download in lossy formats such as MP3 and AAC. This was the second instance where Disney did not release the award-winning soundtrack of a Pixar film on Compact disc. The first Pixar film not to have its soundtrack released on compact disc by Disney was Up. In January 2012 Intrada released the Toy Story 3 soundtrack on compact disc.[122]

In addition to the tracks included in the soundtrack album, the film also uses "Dream Weaver" by Gary Wright, "Le Freak" by Chic, and Randy Newman's original version of "You've Got a Friend in Me."
Also, tracks "Cowboy!" and "Come to Papa" included material from Newman's rejected score to Air Force One.[123] The song "Losing You" from Newman's own album Harps and Angels was also used in the first trailer for the film.[124]
The Judas Priest song "Electric Eye" was used in the temp score for the opening scene of Toy Story 3.[125] The aliens are playing the tune in their sports car. But the song was ultimately replaced by another piece of music.
The theatrical release of Toy Story 3 included the short film Day & Night, which focuses on what happens when an animated personification of Day meets his opposite, Night and the resulting growth for both.[128][129]
It was also included in the Blu-ray and DVD release of Toy Story 3.
