Plot

Andy is now seventeen years old and is going to college. His mother presses him to decide the fate of his toys, and Andy decides to leave them in the attic, with the exception of Woody that he intends to bring with him. However Andy's mother donates them by accident to the Sunnyside Daycare. The toys are welcomed by Lotso Bear but sooner they discover that the children mistreat them. Further, they are imprisoned in the daycare by Lotso and his gang. But Woody discovers the intention of the evil bear and returns to the daycare to organize the escape of his friends.

Review

The visuals in this film are fantastic. The opening sequence has Woody, Buzz, and Jessie trying to stop Hamm and Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head from robbing a train. This fantasy sequence included stunning visual and sound effects, including Buzz's rescue of a train that falls off of a bridge after an explosion. This scene is a great example of the fun and excitement film brings.

After an engaging and instantly charming opening courtesy of Andy's imagination, we are presented with a wonderfully modern showcasing of the passage of time. Immediately identifiable for parents and teens, Arnt shows us just how much things have changed for the toys due to Andy's age. It also depicts, rather humorously, at what lengths the toys will go just to be held by their owner again. Yes, their feet are still marked with his familiar black marker scrawl, but he just doesn't seem to care for them anymore. The scene is truly touching and, with characters this familiar, a remarkable feat to pull off without any been-there-before feelings. Then, when there is no hope in being played with again, the toys - unified by Woody's undying love for Andy - prepare themselves for life in the attic. Their commitment, their love for Andy and for each other is where the center of this film lies.

The film shows how the toys think about their owners and their feeling when playing with the owners. Although it is an imagination of the scenario, it is true that we ignore the feeling of the toys that play along with us in our chlidhood. It is time to reflect on ourself when we leaves our toys after spending several minutes on them.
