And so we come to the conclusion of the Toy Story saga…at least that was the plan at the time. Andy has grown up; he’s now seventeen and about to head to college. Obviously the toys are now accustomed to being neglected. The ones that remain are left in a cupboard but, with Andy’s imminent departure, his sister Molly has her eyes on his room and something has to be done about them.
The solution is that they are to be kept. However, they are to be kept in a bin liner in the loft apart, that is, from Woody who is off to college with Andy. Unsurprisingly, bag of toys in the loft would not make for a very interesting film so something has to happen. As is usual that “something” is a mistake. Mistakes happen a lot in toy story world; toys are mistakenly left behind during the house move in Toy Story, toys mistakenly end up in a yard sale in Toy Story 2, and this time the bag full of loft toys is mistaken for the bag full of rubbish and ends up outside waiting for the bin men.

You’ll Be Okay In The Attic?
Obviously, there’s a fingernail shredding escape from the bin lorry but the toys think they were deliberately sent for disposal. In a fit of pique, the rescued toys decide that they were thrown out deliberately and climb into a donations box. Woody goes with them to try and get them to come back and decide to live in a plastic bag in a dark attic…why Woody? Why‽ Still, off they all go to end up being donated to a pre-school daycare centre where things turn out to be less than rosy. They are thrown to a pack of wild animals known as… toddlers.
I Know About Buzz’s Spanish Mode
They get bashed, painted, stamped and drooled on. They think that there is someone there to look after them but he turns out to be the biggest bad of a bad bunch. You thought the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man in Ghostbusters was scary, wait until you see Lotso. Lotso (Ned Beatty) appears as a genial, friendly, bright pink, cuddly teddy bear. However it isn’t long before you realise that he’s actually as genial and friendly as Don Vito Corleone! He’s had a bad life at the hands of a child and he wants to make sure that no toy is hurt like that again. That sounds very benign but wait until you see his methods!
So Long…Partner
Anyway, at the beginning, I said that this was initially envisioned as the final chapter in the Toy Story saga and in a lot of ways it makes sense. We’ve been with Andy as he grew up and outgrew his toys. So it’s an obvious place to draw a line under everything. Those with a reasonable memory might recognise the final shot of Toy Story 3. It is a throwback to the opening shot of Toy Story which shows clouds scudding across the sky.

about the RunPee app.
Movie Watching Must Have!!
I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!

In Toy Story it is Andy’s bedroom wallpaper while in Toy Story 3 it is the actual sky; perhaps representing Andy’s transition from the safety of home to the big, wide world. Whatever, there was a definite wrapping up of the main story arc in a nice, wholesome manner. However, when a film brings in over a billion dollars it takes a lot of nerve to walk away!
