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 Andy's toys, including Bo Peep and Wheezy, have departed in yard sales for quite some time.
At first, Andy intended to take only Woody with him while the others went into a trash bag bound for the Davis’ attic. Andy’s mother 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, believing that Andy has deliberately thrown them away after hearing him call them junk. 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 upon hearing of his escape.
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. He tells the toys that they were all replaced and they head towards 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, meaning all the doors and windows are 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 the monkey toy that controls the AV room and watches everything that happens in the daycare through cameras. When the night falls, Woody and Slinky take out the monkey and gets the keys to all the rooms. Barbie tortures Ken into telling her what Lotso did to Buzz by tearing his clothes 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.
They later attempt to escape while Buzz is constantly trying to impress Jessie. They are about to get away when Lotso finds them, but Ken speaks up and convinces everyone that it was Lotso who turned Sunnyside into a prison instead of a joyful place for toys. Lotso gets mad at him and Woody speaks up and tell Big Baby that he was never replaced, it was only Lotso who was replaced. Big Baby is enraged by his trickery and throws Lotso in the dumpster. Everybody is about to escape when one of the three green Pizza Planet Aliens gets stuck, prompting Woody to rescue him, getting pulled into the dumpster by Lotso in the process. The rest of the gang tries to save Woody but end up getting thrown into the garbage truck heading to the landfill. While trying to save Jessie from the falling trash, Buzz is hit by an old TV and is returned to his normal self. They arrive at the landfill and help get Lotso unstuck from the conveyor belt, but Lotso later betrays them rather than halt the conveyor and leaves them behind, leaving the gang to face death in the incinerator, until they are rescued by the "claw" the three little aliens are controlling. Lotso is later found by a garbageman, who says he once had a bear just like him, and tied to the front of a garbage truck, and Woody, Buzz and the gang find another truck that gets them home in time before Andy leaves for college. They all get to their boxes, but Woody realizes he wants a better life for his friends than in the attic, so he writes Bonnie's address on a Post-it and leaves it for Andy to see. Andy, instead of taking his beloved toys to the attic, leaves them with Bonnie, for her to take care of and love them. Woody has also stowed away in the box and Andy is at first doubtful to leave him with Bonnie but finally relents, ending with Bonnie playing with Andy and her new toys, as well as Andy finally leaving for college.
During the credits we can see that all the toys at Sunnyside turns out to be a new place for toys filled with joy everyone of them happy in a new home, while Andy's toys enjoys with new friends and a lovable owner, and Jessie encourages Buzz to dance to Spanish music with her in a lovely way. |
