In “Toy Story,” Woody and Buzz had to get back home before Andy moved away.
Once he realizes what his friends are up against, he decides to break back into Sunnyside and get them all back to Andy’s house before he leaves for school.Īs you can see, similarities to the first two “Toy Story” movies are unavoidable. Woody is able to escape with a child who attends Sunnyside before learning the ugly truth from the child’s other toys. On the surface Sunnyside looks like all the answers to their fears of being thrown away or stuffed in a box, but what Andy’s toys don’t realize is that Sunnyside is a toy prison, and Lotso is the warden, safely ensconced at the top of the kiddie food chain. Andy decides to take Woody to school with him while storing the others in the attic, but a mix-up sends all of them to Sunnyside Day Care Center, where they are met with open arms by Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear (Ned Beatty). If you thought the ‘married life’ sequence in “ Up” was a tearjerker, bring a box of tissues to this one.Īndy, the owner of Woody ( Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), is headed off to college. Fortunately, it’s a highly entertaining lap, with an ending that will reduce every parent in the audience to tears.
Toy story 3 dvd movie#
Admittedly, there are aspects of “Toy Story 3” that will recall the first two installments, and in the end the movie is a farewell lap around the track of sorts. There are only so many ways you can tell that tale, so it is to the great credit to the writers of Pixar’s “Toy Story” movies that they have been able to make so much out of such a limited premise. Oys get lost, toys overcome tremendous odds to find way home without letting on to humans that toys can move and talk on their own.
