Toy Story 3

In "Toy Story 3," the toys, particularly Woody, have lived a comfortable life in Andy's room for years. Since Andy's toys haven't been played with for quite some time, it is implied that they are practically museum pieces, only taken down from their display racks to be dusted. As a new chapter in Andy's life begins when he prepares to attend college, the toys realize that their time with him is coming to an end. Andy's mother, who had initially packed away the majority of his childhood belongings, expresses her sadness and nostalgia about letting go of the past. As she arranges the toys, she inadvertently gives them away to Bonnie Bennett, along with other items that once belonged to Andy. Although the toys see this as a transfer rather than the complete end of their relationship with Andy, they feel disillusioned and shocked by the turn of events. After Andy's mother has given away the majority of his toys, the remaining playthings are left to their own devices in Andy's room. A sense of despair and abandonment begins to spread among the toys, and a rivalry starts to form between Jessie, who up until this point was Andy's favorite toy, and Lotso, a teddy bear known as 'Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear.' Lotso's obsession and desire for hugs is misplaced in regards to Andy, and this desire for unconditional love is ultimately misplaced when Andy gives up his childhood, leaving the toys unloved. Woody, Buzz, and their companions find themselves in Bonnie's day care center, 'Sunset Shores', which is run by Sharp Shooter, known as Ken, and Barbie has a presence here, that also has a collection of various other items of interest. However, unlike Bonnie's clean and happy home, where a kind caregiver has looked after the kids, the same toys experience chaos in Sunset Shores when they discover that the caregivers have no regard for the items, carelessly throwing them around like trash. Woody becomes worried that he and his friends are doomed to spend the rest of their days in the overcrowded and dirty environment surrounding the Day Care. Tensions among the toys are heightened as they all desperately try to find a way to escape. Among them is Little Green Alien, who decides that their only chance of escape lies in separating and blending in with their new surroundings under different names to stay hidden. Meanwhile, Ken has come to realize his place at the Sunnyside child entertainment only as a part time token for Barbie. It is here, amidst this turmoil, that Woody's inner desire to lead Andy's Toys to a brighter, freer future is highlighted. Lotso, now revealed as a complex and multifaceted character with a storied past of abandonment and mistreatment, exerts a positive influence on Woody, Jessie and the other toys, slowly letting them see his view of being better off in Bonnie's hands than being left behind in Andy's home when a nightmare about sleeping with Bugsy a horrid hamster at home reiterates its own loss to emphasize the truth of the desolation at sunset shore.
