@@DR-mq1vn Good choice. It really does complete butcher everything that came before it. The story, the characters, the themes, the ending of Toy Story 3.
@@DR-mq1vn Part 4 is such a letdown. It really adds nothing and honestly, a lot of the directions they went with regarding character choices and the overall plot ended up being really disappointing. So if you wanna cherish the good memories and feelings that 3 ended on, I highly recommend not watching 4.
@@MysticClaws100 The Toy Story shorts actually did a great job at expanding the universe and continuing the story a bit, they even had pretty significant character development. The crazy thing is the forth movie found a way to not only undo the ending of TS3 but also the progress from the shorts. Everything had fit together so well then they go and undo it all.😤 I would recommend watching the shorts tho, they're good.
My favourite tibit about the behind the scenes for this movie was the VA for Andy. EDIT because I just rewatched the behind the scene and got a few details wrong. It was actually decided pretty much at the start that they wanted the original VA for Andy to come back. They just had to find him first and see if he sounded perfect; they had no idea where he was, where he lived, etc. but they found him. They called him, fingers crossed hoping he sounded young enough, heard his voice on the answering machine and were like “THAT. That’s the one”. I just love how it all comes full circle, in movie and out and that the original VA was their first choice.
Ohh, I have a _spookier_ one. They were auditioning baby voices for Big Baby's "mama" when he gets Daisy's locket back and finally got the one they use in the movie. They asked what the baby's name was after they picked it. The baby's name was Woody.
When Andy gives up his toys and Woody says “so long partner”… I was done in the theater. I’ll never forget that day. An entire theater of adults crying and bawling. I always wished Andy revealed he knew the toys were alive and had always hoped they’d reveal themselves to him but that’s just my personal head canon lol. Toy Story 3 is easily the best written animated film ever and has some of the best character development ever. Truly a masterpiece of cinema.
I've watched this movie several times in my life and yet the way the toys just accept their fate in the incinerator always breaks me. The only bright side in that moment is that they weren't gonna die alone.
That part always gets me. When I saw it in the theater for the first, I cried like a baby. This is Disney after all so I thought they would be done for to teach people to let go sometimes or some other life lesson, but the ending was perfect.
The incinerator scene was so bleak that the movie truly fooled me into thinking ever so briefly, "Oh my god, they're actually gonna do it. They're gonna kill the toys." And at the time, this was supposed to be the end. There wasn't going to be a fourth movie, so you really believed there was a chance that it could end that way. The terror in their eyes followed by the solemn acceptance of their fate as they hold each other's hands was heart-wrenching.
@@amandagrubbs3000no wayy you too?? It doesn’t matter what video I comment on ANYTHING related to Jodi benson even if it’s not Toy Story related this guy pops up and replies to me. It’s honestly starting to get weird and creepy
I still can’t believe they sell that pink bear as a strawberry scented plushie at Disney theme parks. Who would want that mean bear after he yelled “she never loved you” to the baby doll! 😭
i buy lotso plushes for my dog, he loves to suckle on the nose when he goes to sleep 🥹 its his favorite toy. He’ll walk over to his basket of toys and pick out one of his many lotso’s then takes it back to his bed to help him nap
To be fair, Lotso in the movie was just one of many other Lotso Huggin Bears, just like Barbie was just one of many, many Barbies. He just happened to be one of the Lotsos that had a really bad situation.
I bought one for my son. He really has that evil frown 😂. But Lotso needs love too. He's rehabilitated 😅 (and still smells like strawberry after like 7 years)
I guess only those who haven't seen the movie would find him cute or nice to buy. Those who know Lotso top to bottom wouldn't care about buying him in toy stores hahaa
Toy Story 3 is one of the most saddest movies of the franchises. I love Buzz and Jessie's relationship. Andy leaving to college got me sad. Buzz in Spanish mode got me laughing 😭😭😭💖💖💖🤣🤣🤣
I love this movie so much and the best in the franchise. The ending always makes me cry every time when Andy gives his toys to Bonnie and Woody says “So long, partner”.
Fun facts: - when the creators were making Toy Story 3, they had to recast the voice of slinky dog because Jim Barney died shortly after filming Toy Story 2. But the new voice actor was close to Jim and got emotional when told Jim would have been proud. - the creators original idea was to have the original voice actor of Andy, John Morris, play Andy as a teenager. They had not been in contact with him since Toy Story 2. But they called him and when they heard his voice on the answering machine, they knew they wanted him to play Andy grown up. P.S. thank you for doing this series. I grew up with Toy Story and when I saw Toy Story 3 in theaters, Bonnie making Woody wave goodbye is what broke me. Great reaction!
Toy Story 3 and Monsters University are both kids movies made with their original audience in mind. They could've just made Monsters inc 2 with a 5- or 6-year-old Boo, and they could've just made Toy Story 3 set a couple years after Toy Story 2, but they intentionally made movies where the characters grow up and go to college, for us. I don't know of another media company that ages with their audience like that. It makes me really grateful to be part of this generation.
24:30 You may notice that Andy’s toys were put in the butterfly room already. Lotso has rigged it to destroy any new toys by giving them to toddlers. Presumably so that he can never be replaced by a new toy again.
I saw this in the cinema and cried three times - the incinerator part, Andy's Mum seeing his empty room and the end with one last playtime with Andy 😭❤It is a cinematic masterpiece, and my favourite of all Disney Pixar's feature length animations. Fun fact: I was actually on a first date seeing this in the cinema, hiding behind my 3D glasses while I held back tears, so the boy I was on a date with wouldn't think I was ridiculous. Until the end scene when I couldn't hold back any longer, and I glanced to see him openly sobbing and enjoying the movie with no shame. We turned to look at each other and started laughing hysterically at the mess we both were in. I just knew then that we were meant to be 🤣...14 years later and we're still together with two small children who are Toy Story addicts! Thank you for your amazing reaction, it was a joy to watch!
Ham: "I don't think those were Lincoln logs" You: "In the sandpit?!" Not kids. Cats. It's been brought up in more than one childcare and child development class as a cardinal rule of sandboxes: stray/outdoor cats poop in sandboxes, and sand will be thrown.
Spanish translation for those who want to know what is Buzz saying!!: 30:25 - Star Log ( it's the same phrase he says in TS1 when he arrives to Andy's room) 30:30 - Have you seen my spaceship? 30:44 - My dessert flower 31:35 - Come with me little miss (señorita) 31:46 - The cowboy! 31:52 - buzz lightyear to the rescue! 31:57 - Opened 34:34 - little miss! Little miss! 43:03 - Hay un amigo en mi - there is a friend in me (spanish from Spain. But in latin america it was "Yo soy tu amigo fiel" - I'm your faithful friend). It's the classic Woody's song. ----- Thank you for all your videos!! I always enjoy them!! Greetins from Argentina!
Interesting that his Spanish setting is European Spanish when I would assume that if he was intended to have a Spanish setting for that market in the USA/Latin America, it'd be in Latin American Spanish. But i live in an area that has like, no Spanish speakers at all so I don't know what the language distribution is like...
yeah imagine seeing this in the theater as a fresh 22 year old without the knowledge of the 4th movie existing. that incenorator scene DESTROYED ME. i was full on sobbing in that theater. the ending also made me weep but in that bittersweet way. i grew up watching the first 2 movies constantly on VHS, so yeah we all related to andy a lot here.
This is still my mum's favorite film. She talks about how she took me and my brother to see toy story 2 as toddlers, and then took us to see toy story 3. "I looked over to you two, expecting my babies, and instead I saw you both nearly grown up." Now she says she watches it and relates to more to the toys -- not Andy.
I was the prime demographic for this franchise. Grew up with it and was about to start college when Toy Story 3 came out. When I tell you I bawled in the theater for this one… it hit home because I legit had put all my stuffed animals away in black trash bags and stored them in the top of my closet years before. And it’s kinda funny because now I’m a mom and my son loves all of my old toys. So it’s like they are getting a second life and I get to relive old memories by playing with the toys with him. 😊
Since Jim Varney passed away in 2000, he was replaced by Blake Clark, who was friends with Varney and could make a perfect imitation of him. When director Lee Unkrich said "Jim would have been proud of you." Clarke got quite choked up.
They way I just cheered on the inside - the third one is by faaaaar my favourite!! I’ve been looking forward to your reaction since the first Toy Story video
I was 18 when this movie came out. I missed it in theaters initially because I was so busy getting ready to leave for college. Thankfully, my college campus had a theater where students could pay $2 to see second run movies (films that probably weren't in main theaters anymore, but also weren't available to purchase yet). I went the first night it was there, and it was packed. At the end it was just an auditorium of bawling students. All of us were at that age where we'd grown up with these films, but for a lot of us we'd gone through this exact scenario just a few months prior. I'm not ashamed to say I called my parents and begged them not to throw out any of my old toys, but instead give them to my niece. I of course know they're not alive, but the mental image of my childhood toys going through an incinerator almost broke me.
I love how realistic the daycare is, I used to kinda work in a daycare for school so seeing this how the younger children treat toys versus the older children, it’s so accurate😅
23:24 Now that I think about it. It’s possible that Daisy look for her toys like crazy. Her parents couldn’t go back and find them but perhaps they bought a new Lotso, and said to Daisy that they could only find Lotso
There's a fan theory that Buzz was still in demo mode in Toy Story 1, and when he tried to fly out the window at Sid's house, the impact from hitting the stairs when he fell caused him to switch over to play mode.
This movie hit really hard for me because the notion of holding onto toys we grew up with and the experiences we had with them is something I can only halfway understand. My mom passed away when I was 12 and our old home was left abandoned for nearly 2 years essentially just as it had been when we left, but when my Dad and I finally went back to see what could and couldn't be salvaged, nature had taken its course, rats had made the home their home, and essentially everything from the furniture, to my toys and even the carpets had to be thrown out for hazmat and health concerns meaning the house was stripped clean before we remodeled. On one hand, I'm glad that we were able to make it a home again, on the other hand all of my toys and nearly all of my collectables from before I was 12 were gone meaning for the most part all I have left now at 29 are the steadily fading memories of back then with very little of anything tangible remaining. I remember having a little stuffed bunny that I slept with as a kid, I remember having this cool optimus prime with his trailer, I remember all the legos I had and constantly building and rebuilding with them, I remember the hot wheels and matchbox cars (some of them collectables passed down from my dad), I remember the board games my sisters and my mom and I would play (especially UNO) and I remember all the drawing and sketching tools and sketchpads and artwork I had made growing up - all of it gone save for the memories themselves.

Seeing this in the cinema back in 2010 was a different experience. Pixar knew exactly what they were doing making audiences cry twice in 10 minutes for 2 VERY different reasons
Fun fact the actor of Andy from the two movies came back for Toy Story 3. And I have to say Lotso is one of my favorite Disney Pixar Villains in the movie because of his backstory and trying to keep the toys away from being played again. Also some familiar faces as well Michael Keaton as Ken and Whoopi Goldberg as Stretch the Octopus.
Watching this in the theatre, I absolutely thought they were all going to be incinerated, and was like silently crying out of pure horror. But the last scene, as Andy says "This is Woody. He's been my pal for as long as I can remember...", there was no silence in my crying. I was openly weeping, and the ending of this movie does that to me EVERY time I watch it. THANK YOU for watching these, and letting me come along for the ride!
There are elements of the 4th movie that I think are creative and entertaining, but it fundamentally deconstructs and undermines a trilogy’s worth of character development for Woody and Buzz. Buzz becomes a parody of himself, and Woody abandons the “it doesn’t matter how much you’re played with; what matters is to be there for (a child) when they need you” philosophy and pursues his own interests instead. It’s heartbreaking.
This came out the year I graduated High School. I can't express how rough watching this movie was then and still brings me to tears over a decade later. I was saying goodbye to my childhood at the same time.
After finding out they were making Toy Story 3, i thought there was no way it could make me cry more than Toy Story 2. I have never been so wrong about something in my life. Such a superb trilogy.
This came out really close to my highschool graduation. We were all preparing for exams, college amd saying goodbye. Students went to see it in theatres and would come back sobbing on Monday. 😂❤
I went to the theater to watch this movie with my little brother, and next to use sat two guys who were absolute units: super muscular, though look, militar cut hair. At the part where Andy plays with Bonnie and he gives his toys to her, I started crying, then I heard a sniffle to my side. i looked to my right, and found both guys crying without a care in the world. I don't know why, but that made me smile while still crying, and to this day it's a memory I'll never forget.
My daughter turns 4 in August and Toy Story is her favorite franchise with 3 being her favorite of the films. She used to become absolutely distraught during the flashback scene when Lotso pushes down Big Baby in the rain. I’d hug her and she would just cling to me and sob.
I was working in daycare when this film came out and went to the cinema with my dad to see it (tradition that we see all the toy story films together since I was little) First shot of Sunnyside I lent in to him and said "that is NOT daycare" First shot of the chaotic younger classroom, "now THAT is day care" 😂😂😂😂😂
So many people were crying in the movie theater (myself included). When they were about to be incinerated, my anxiety and devastation was THROUGH THE ROOF! I'll never forgive Disney for making another movie after putting so much care and love into this one. I didn't go see it, but I heard that it basically undid Woody's character.
Am I the only one who loved the 4th just as much as the original trilogy?? I was def skeptical when the news of the 4th first came up. But after finally watching it, I was pleasantly surprised and still felt that it really had so much heart. This may or may not be a spoiler idk but if you haven't seen the 4th yet, just warning you now to STOP READING POSSIBLE SPOILERS. Toy Story 3 brought it full circle, but Toy Story 4 really played to Woody's "new" found purpose: to help lost toys find their way back home or find a new home. I say "new" bc honestly it isn't new. We've seen this all throughout the first 3 movies and I think it's so amazing that, all along, Woody's been living out this purpose for years. Now he's finally ready to let go of this beautiful arc of his toy life (making his kid, no matter who, happy) and focus on being what the previous movies have been developing him to be, the guiding friend of all the lost toys. It even gives another perspective to the main song.
I saw this in the theater, and let me tell you, they got me good. When the toys all join hands heading towards what seems to be certain death, I started sobbing. I was like, this is how it ends?!?! Thank god, no. Sobbed again at the end. Now any time I watch this, I've got tears on a hair-trigger 😂
As one of those people who are going away. I am currently sitting in my freshman dorm crying over Toy Story, I remember watching the 3rd movie so many times. The older I get the harder the ending hits. When I was younger I was feeling the fear of leaving. Now I just feel exactly how Andy does for the first time.
I've been waiting for this one. This was the only Toy Story I saw in the theaters and that makes it just a bit more special. I might have shed a few tears in the theater and was definitely lost in my thoughts as I walked back home. Man, that ending still gets to me. This could have been the last Toy Story and I would have been satisfied. However, I don't hate the 4th one either, in fact I learned to like it, and there's one thing I gotta say about that one: It looks INCREDIBLE.
I remember seeing this in the theater when I was six, I loved it then and now 14 years later I've seen this more times than I can count and it's still one of my favorites
I saw this in the cinema when it first came out. It was a couple of weeks after my family and I moved out of my childhood home and a month or so before I moved to university. It hit so hard, so relatable 😢
I was at the same place as Andy when this came out. I went to see this the day it came out with my friends and it served as a monument to the end of my childhood. I had just graduated high school and was starting college that summer. It was all so serendipitous. Toy Story was always my favorite movie and they couldn't have done a better job ending the story, this along with the first are my favorite movies, so much sentimental value for me. This was supposed to be the last movie, but because it did so well Disney wanted another one. The forth movie if fine, but I have a lot of issues with it, I wont spoil anything but this should have been the end like intended. Nonetheless this is an excellent movie all around, one of Pixar's best.
My parents took me to see the first toy story movie in theaters, before the time I even remember it, and I saw the 3rd one in theaters surrounded by friends as we just started our last summer before senior year and man... It hit HARD. We didn't know there'd be any more sequels, and for a second there I almost did believe it was all over in that inferno, but was still broken hearted all the same from that send off. It seems such a silly thing to say but most people really do keep their inner child close to their hearts. When Pixar wants to, they know how to hit it.
Mr. Potato Head was voiced by the late Don Rickles, a LEGENDARY insult comedian who was close friends with Johnny Carson, Frank Sinatra, Bob Newhart, James Dean, and even Ronald Reagan. I love that at 26:30 they let his character have a few roasts for Ken!
there's this video on youtube of a guy who edited the ending of this movie so it would end at the incinerator scene. the toys very sadly accept they're going to die, it fades to black and the credits roll. then he gave this edit to his mom to watch as if it was just the normal movie lol it's so funny and now every time I watch this heartbreaking scene I just cant help to remember that and it always cracks me up xd
I still remember crying at the movie theater, so many years went by and i was scared after perfection of toy story 1 and 2 that it was a silly sequel, IT HITTED HARD ON FEELS! Plus, i do believe that Andy will work as an animator to do kids movies or as a designer of toys i mean come on that ending scene... I love your reactions, you're such a sensitive and clever guy, a great combo! I'll watch toy story 4 for the first time with you, i still miss that one!
When I saw this in the theater at the time...when the aliens showed up saving the gang from the furnace and them surviving, the sold out theater laughed and cheered!! I adore each film equally, and this was a lovely ending to the series.
Yes! I remember that too! I don't remember who I went to see the movie with, but I remember how stunned the whole audience was with the incinerator scene, and how everyone collectively gave the biggest sigh of relief and cheered when the claw came down.
Lotso: " She replaced ALL of us! " That teddy bear ain't happy unless you're miserable, too. Grouches love it when people are as miserable as they are, and that's no lie.
This is the first and only animated movie that had me all choked up and teary eyed. The furnace scene literally had me bawling. This is the best animated movie ever. 💝
The scene that hit me was when Andy intuitively pulled back woody from Bonnie. I don’t remember when I last watched this but I clearly don’t remember crying at that moment but watching it now through this reaction made me cry.
These three movies have a very special place in my heart and they always make me feel just about every emotion possible when I’m watching them without fail. A big part of that is because of the fact that I was born in late 1991. This means that I was 3 and a half when the first one was released (it was actually the second movie I ever saw in theatres and one of my earliest memories is seeing it in theatres with my uncle. I was 7 when the second one came out, right at the age when I became consciously aware of growing up and noticing that I was no longer as interested in the toys and hobbies that used to be my favourites. Then the third one came out when I was 18 during the summer before I left for university (I was an emotional mess in the theatre) and it honestly made me decide to bring my old teddy bear that I got as a birthday present (meaning it was given to me as a present on the day I was born) to university.
This movie is so preferctly brilliant of an ending that it took me literal years before i could rewatch it because it came out when i was in the exact same phase of life as andy that I felt deep sadness that everytime id go to rewatch it after the first viewing id remember how upsetting it was and then just avoid watching it an go back and watch 1 and 2. That has since passed and I can watch these movies all fine but i think i goes to show just how amazing art can be and how impactful a good story can be upon our lives and our souls. This series is and will always be my favorite Animated Series for that reason and I seriously hope they dont release 5 without there being the prefect story and reason to else they should leave the series be until that moment!
You mentioned people around Andy's age seeing these movies when they came out: My name is Andy, and I grew up with these films. When I was little, we had a family friend who had a house in Florida where we would vacation every year. I used to always want to fall asleep to the VHS of Toy Story 1 whenever we were there. Of course I went through a phase of writing my name on the bottom of my toys because of this movie haha. Fast forward to the summer after my high school graduation, right before I was going to college, and my parents took some of my friends and me to Florida to celebrate. This movie had just come out, and we all decided to go see it at the theater in Disney Springs. At the end, my parents were a mess of course with the whole college thing, and all of us 18 year old tough guys were trying (and failing, lol) to not show how emotional we all were. We still talk about that day; it's one of my most treasured memories. It's really hard to overstate how much I love these films; I literally grew up with Andy. I love all 4 of them, and I'm really glad you've been enjoying them as well!
This movie came out the day before my wedding. My husband and I are both way into Disney and loved the first two. We took our bridal party to see it before the wedding rehearsal. It was the perfect movie to capture everything I was feeling in that moment.
I mean, yeah, there’s a fourth movie now, but imagine watching this in theatres as the characters you grow up with realize the only thing they can do is hold hands and accept their fate. Back then he wouldn’t of known when there was gonna be a fourth movie.
I BAWLED my eyes out during this in the movie theater!!! It was the first time I cried ever during a movie, like 13 year old me didn't know at the time there would be a 4th you know? lol... Great reaction Oscar :D
I cried so hard watching this in theaters. Even though I was a bit younger, I still cried just because of the beautiful conclusion and the bittersweetness of moving on
@@nataliecox6032 fair enough, I personally enjoyed it as it explored a new theme than what we’ve been exposed to before. With that being said I can see Woody convincing Bo Peep to join him as he finds his friends
Those of us watching it in the theatre didn't get to say, "There's a 4th movie. There's a 4th movie." as they were facing the incinerator. From that point on it was pretty much tears all the way.
I grew up with this franchise and saw this in theatres when i was 16. I was okay up until 40:47 when Andy pulled Andy away and me and my sister bawled our eyes out 😭😭😭
i went to the premier of this after my eighth grade formal with some friends. its such a core memory because even tho i was only 13, it resonated. them just holding hands and waiting for death literally took me out in the theatres and gets me everytime. its so beautiful, so sad.
You are spot on about the ages of the people watching and how it was made for older children/ teens/ young adults. I was only 3 when Toy Story came out. I was 7 when Toys Story 2 came out and Toy Story 3 came out about a week before I turned 18. And when I went to see 3 in the cinema, the audience was mostly people around my age. I remember that the only difference between me seeing 2 and 3 at the cinema, aside from the obvious age gap, was that I had a beer whilst watching 3, which really helped play into the theme of growing up.
I love rewatching my favourite movies with you because I get to learn something new about them in your comment section 😂 I somehow didn't even know they got the original va for Andy to come back here
I was 20 years old when this cam out, so I grew up with Toy Story movies and I still remember sitting in the movie theatre next to my mum, both of us WEEPING during that incinerator scene thinking it was truly the end... scenes like this solidify in my mind how much I respect and admire the storytelling emphasis at Pixar.. they are masters.. without question.
Wow i never really realised how emotional the movie and ending is...that "So long, partner" almost made me cry and i haven't seen toy story 3 since i was young
As someone who hadn't been a huge fan of Toy Story growing up, this movie is still close to my heart. A few more films I'd like to recommend for you: Secretariat, Black Beauty (1994), A Dog's Purpose, A Dog's Journey, Homeward Bound, Air Bud, Hidalgo, Watership Down (the film, not the miniseries), and, if you can, the Redwall Animated Series.
I was 3 or 4 when the first Toy Story came out, and then Andy's age when TS3 was released. This one hit very, very close to home. I was an absolute mess in the cinema. To me, this will always be a perfect farewell to the series.
because this movie was a few years out from the second one, everyone who watched Toy Story 1 was kind of around Andy's age too so it was like really the perfect timing and everything. like you realized you're also at a crossroads of your life and such. which makes it extra endearing and heartfelt.
The fact that these movies can still get me to cry after so many years is a testament to the writing. I wish the industry would go back to making movies like this.
30:50 This was actually the swan song for Mr. Potato Head, performed by the great Don Rickles, so I'm glad he played a vital role. 31:46 "Platonic?" lol As if two toys can not be?
I don't often cry at movies but I wept at this. First at the incinerator and then even more when Andy gave them away at the end. I get teary just thinking of the end of this movie still. As a kid I just so heavily related to Andy. I watched those first two movies so many times and imagined my toys were just like these. Then when this movie came out I was preparing to go to college myself in the fall and also still had so many of my childhood toys. It just hits so personally for me.
When I tell you I cried my eyes out at the end of this movie when I first watched it, I mean it. I was a little kid when Toy Story came out. I didn't watch this movie until after I had graduated from high school. It felt like I was saying goodbye to my childhood, as you said. It brought up so many emotions.
Andy Knew His Toys Were Alive. Here’s Why (THIS IS JUST A THEORY) In Toy Story 3, we see Andy panicking when he realizes his beloved toys are missing. By the end of the movie, however, he finds them in a donation box and his reaction is surprisingly calm and unbothered. Why? Because Andy knew his toys were alive. The Trash Bag Incident: Andy put the toys in a trash bag, intending to store them in the attic. Yet they mysteriously ended up in a donation box in his room. Andy doesn’t question this at all, even though it’s clearly strange. The Farewell Scene: At the end, Bonnie waves Woody’s hand, and Andy laughs, saying, “Thanks, guys.” This line feels oddly specific, almost as if he’s directly acknowledging the toys themselves, not Bonnie. Saying Goodbye To Woody: When Bonnie finds Woody in the box, Andy obviously knows thats really strange but holds Woody while looking at him. He says some things to Woody like, hes kind, will never let you down. Things like that before finally giving Woody to Bonnie. Why Didn’t Andy Tell Anyone? Andy likely chose to keep their secret for a few reasons: Protecting the Toys: He just decided it was better not to tell anyone. Respecting Their Autonomy: Over the years, Andy may have realized the toys were alive and chose to respect their decision to remain a secret. Letting Go: By the time Andy went to college, he understood it was time to move on. Saying goodbye to the toys while keeping their secret intact was his way of honoring their bond. The Bigger Picture This theory adds depth to Andy’s character. It suggests that his love for his toys went beyond childhood imagination. He understood and valued their sentience, making his farewell in Toy Story 3 even more bittersweet.

This should've been the last movie in the franchise. The ending was perfect
I agree. I have never seen Part 4 because I choose to have this as the ending.
@@DR-mq1vn Good choice. It really does complete butcher everything that came before it. The story, the characters, the themes, the ending of Toy Story 3.
I wish I had, you are smart@@DR-mq1vn
@@DR-mq1vn Part 4 is such a letdown. It really adds nothing and honestly, a lot of the directions they went with regarding character choices and the overall plot ended up being really disappointing. So if you wanna cherish the good memories and feelings that 3 ended on, I highly recommend not watching 4.
@@MysticClaws100 The Toy Story shorts actually did a great job at expanding the universe and continuing the story a bit, they even had pretty significant character development. The crazy thing is the forth movie found a way to not only undo the ending of TS3 but also the progress from the shorts. Everything had fit together so well then they go and undo it all.😤 I would recommend watching the shorts tho, they're good.
My favourite tibit about the behind the scenes for this movie was the VA for Andy. EDIT because I just rewatched the behind the scene and got a few details wrong. It was actually decided pretty much at the start that they wanted the original VA for Andy to come back. They just had to find him first and see if he sounded perfect; they had no idea where he was, where he lived, etc. but they found him. They called him, fingers crossed hoping he sounded young enough, heard his voice on the answering machine and were like “THAT. That’s the one”. I just love how it all comes full circle, in movie and out and that the original VA was their first choice.
Ohh, I have a _spookier_ one. They were auditioning baby voices for Big Baby's "mama" when he gets Daisy's locket back and finally got the one they use in the movie. They asked what the baby's name was after they picked it.
The baby's name was Woody.
@@Dudeman23rd what xd
@@Dudeman23rdI think that's less spooky and more sweet
🎉
What? Really?! That's wild!
When Andy gives up his toys and Woody says “so long partner”… I was done in the theater. I’ll never forget that day. An entire theater of adults crying and bawling. I always wished Andy revealed he knew the toys were alive and had always hoped they’d reveal themselves to him but that’s just my personal head canon lol. Toy Story 3 is easily the best written animated film ever and has some of the best character development ever. Truly a masterpiece of cinema.
Ugh the last few scenes I couldn’t stop weeping! Disney did such a phenomenal job with this movie!
@SS4Luxray, "personal head canon"------->I'm gonna use that 1 in the future, thanks for the excellent quote:)
@@Mirriam02
You've never heard headcanon before? That's very interesting
I've watched this movie several times in my life and yet the way the toys just accept their fate in the incinerator always breaks me. The only bright side in that moment is that they weren't gonna die alone.
you said it perfectly ❤
I still remember a video where they someone edited the scene so the credits would roll right after and then showed them to their mother
That part always gets me. When I saw it in the theater for the first, I cried like a baby. This is Disney after all so I thought they would be done for to teach people to let go sometimes or some other life lesson, but the ending was perfect.
yeah, like a child, when I saw it, it felt so real, that if the fire reached them I was going to cry, I really felt like it was the end
@@jeez8939 damn that'd be sad
The incinerator scene was so bleak that the movie truly fooled me into thinking ever so briefly, "Oh my god, they're actually gonna do it. They're gonna kill the toys." And at the time, this was supposed to be the end. There wasn't going to be a fourth movie, so you really believed there was a chance that it could end that way. The terror in their eyes followed by the solemn acceptance of their fate as they hold each other's hands was heart-wrenching.
Fun fact: Jodi Benson (who voiced Ariel in the Little Mermaid) voiced Barbie in the Toy Story movies
Only the second and third movie.
yep it's her
@@nathancruz9172I notice you be creeping up on my comments with Jodi Benson

Honestly, one of my favorite fun facts about this movie is that they got the same guy to play Andy
and the same guy to play Sid as well, this is amazing
And that Andy's voice actor dislikes the fourth movie
@@giancarlofelicianocastaned9316 wow really?
@@Kenny-ep2nf Yep
@@giancarlofelicianocastaned9316yep, I believe it.
I still can’t believe they sell that pink bear as a strawberry scented plushie at Disney theme parks. Who would want that mean bear after he yelled “she never loved you” to the baby doll! 😭
i buy lotso plushes for my dog, he loves to suckle on the nose when he goes to sleep 🥹 its his favorite toy. He’ll walk over to his basket of toys and pick out one of his many lotso’s then takes it back to his bed to help him nap
To be fair, Lotso in the movie was just one of many other Lotso Huggin Bears, just like Barbie was just one of many, many Barbies. He just happened to be one of the Lotsos that had a really bad situation.
I bought one for my son. He really has that evil frown 😂. But Lotso needs love too. He's rehabilitated 😅 (and still smells like strawberry after like 7 years)
I guess only those who haven't seen the movie would find him cute or nice to buy. Those who know Lotso top to bottom wouldn't care about buying him in toy stores hahaa
@@Kenny-ep2nf My son watched Toy Story. He also had Woody, Buzz, Jessie and mr Potato head.
The movie began with the toys wanting to be played with by Andy. And that's exactly what they get at the end.
one final play just before he headed for college
Toy Story 3 is one of the most saddest movies of the franchises. I love Buzz and Jessie's relationship. Andy leaving to college got me sad. Buzz in Spanish mode got me laughing
😭😭😭💖💖💖🤣🤣🤣
In the Spanish version they made him with an andalusian accent from southern Spain where flamenco is from.
@@eimereIn the Latin Spanish dub, the stereotypical Spaniard accent is kept but with a different voice actor.
@@eimere LOL
@@GreatgunYu I guess they had to emphasize on the change in character
I love this movie so much and the best in the franchise. The ending always makes me cry every time when Andy gives his toys to Bonnie and Woody says “So long, partner”.
Me too
Both 1and 3 are my favs sentimentally and story-wise.
Fun facts:
- when the creators were making Toy Story 3, they had to recast the voice of slinky dog because Jim Barney died shortly after filming Toy Story 2. But the new voice actor was close to Jim and got emotional when told Jim would have been proud.
- the creators original idea was to have the original voice actor of Andy, John Morris, play Andy as a teenager. They had not been in contact with him since Toy Story 2. But they called him and when they heard his voice on the answering machine, they knew they wanted him to play Andy grown up.
P.S. thank you for doing this series. I grew up with Toy Story and when I saw Toy Story 3 in theaters, Bonnie making Woody wave goodbye is what broke me. Great reaction!
What got me was when Woody said "so long partner"
Oh gods...I never put it together that was *Varney...*
Toy Story 3 and Monsters University are both kids movies made with their original audience in mind. They could've just made Monsters inc 2 with a 5- or 6-year-old Boo, and they could've just made Toy Story 3 set a couple years after Toy Story 2, but they intentionally made movies where the characters grow up and go to college, for us. I don't know of another media company that ages with their audience like that. It makes me really grateful to be part of this generation.
I mean Monsters University takes place before Monsters Inc so it feels different
Yeah watching this in high school with the knowledge I'd go to college soon hit hard
24:30 You may notice that Andy’s toys were put in the butterfly room already. Lotso has rigged it to destroy any new toys by giving them to toddlers. Presumably so that he can never be replaced by a new toy again.
I saw this in the cinema and cried three times - the incinerator part, Andy's Mum seeing his empty room and the end with one last playtime with Andy 😭❤It is a cinematic masterpiece, and my favourite of all Disney Pixar's feature length animations.
Fun fact: I was actually on a first date seeing this in the cinema, hiding behind my 3D glasses while I held back tears, so the boy I was on a date with wouldn't think I was ridiculous. Until the end scene when I couldn't hold back any longer, and I glanced to see him openly sobbing and enjoying the movie with no shame. We turned to look at each other and started laughing hysterically at the mess we both were in. I just knew then that we were meant to be 🤣...14 years later and we're still together with two small children who are Toy Story addicts!
Thank you for your amazing reaction, it was a joy to watch!
What an amazing story❤
OMG! The baby toy saying "mama" is such a sad moment breaks my heart 💔💔💔💔😭😭😭
I love the implication that toys experience the world as it is in their child’s imagination when they play.
Ham: "I don't think those were Lincoln logs"
You: "In the sandpit?!"
Not kids. Cats. It's been brought up in more than one childcare and child development class as a cardinal rule of sandboxes: stray/outdoor cats poop in sandboxes, and sand will be thrown.
Spanish translation for those who want to know what is Buzz saying!!:
30:25 - Star Log ( it's the same phrase he says in TS1 when he arrives to Andy's room)
30:30 - Have you seen my spaceship?
30:44 - My dessert flower
31:35 - Come with me little miss (señorita)
31:46 - The cowboy!
31:52 - buzz lightyear to the rescue!
31:57 - Opened
34:34 - little miss! Little miss!
43:03 - Hay un amigo en mi - there is a friend in me (spanish from Spain. But in latin america it was "Yo soy tu amigo fiel" - I'm your faithful friend). It's the classic Woody's song.

Thank you for all your videos!! I always enjoy them!!

my English speaking ears hear "Mi taco rice especial" when he says star log in Spanish 😄
@@olli-lfe hahaha its funny cuz "special" and "spatial" sounds quite similar
@@olli-lfeThanks, now i cant unhear it🤣
Interesting that his Spanish setting is European Spanish when I would assume that if he was intended to have a Spanish setting for that market in the USA/Latin America, it'd be in Latin American Spanish. But i live in an area that has like, no Spanish speakers at all so I don't know what the language distribution is like...
@@Replicaate Well I guess if they wanted his personality to be "flamenco dancer" it makes sense
yeah imagine seeing this in the theater as a fresh 22 year old without the knowledge of the 4th movie existing. that incenorator scene DESTROYED ME. i was full on sobbing in that theater. the ending also made me weep but in that bittersweet way. i grew up watching the first 2 movies constantly on VHS, so yeah we all related to andy a lot here.
I was 10 when I first saw TS3 but I did feel sad during the ending scene as well
This is still my mum's favorite film. She talks about how she took me and my brother to see toy story 2 as toddlers, and then took us to see toy story 3.
"I looked over to you two, expecting my babies, and instead I saw you both nearly grown up."
Now she says she watches it and relates to more to the toys -- not Andy.
Yeah the toys are pretty relatable characters
I was the prime demographic for this franchise. Grew up with it and was about to start college when Toy Story 3 came out. When I tell you I bawled in the theater for this one… it hit home because I legit had put all my stuffed animals away in black trash bags and stored them in the top of my closet years before. And it’s kinda funny because now I’m a mom and my son loves all of my old toys. So it’s like they are getting a second life and I get to relive old memories by playing with the toys with him. 😊
Since Jim Varney passed away in 2000, he was replaced by Blake Clark, who was friends with Varney and could make a perfect imitation of him. When director Lee Unkrich said "Jim would have been proud of you." Clarke got quite choked up.
"I adore when the soundtrack goes with the actions of the character"
Have you seen The Princess Bride? That movie does that thing spectacularly.
They way I just cheered on the inside - the third one is by faaaaar my favourite!! I’ve been looking forward to your reaction since the first Toy Story video
Me toooooo!!!
SAME!
Me too ❤
Toy Story 3 is an independent movie in my heart. It has its own space right here.❤
Same
I was 18 when this movie came out. I missed it in theaters initially because I was so busy getting ready to leave for college. Thankfully, my college campus had a theater where students could pay $2 to see second run movies (films that probably weren't in main theaters anymore, but also weren't available to purchase yet). I went the first night it was there, and it was packed. At the end it was just an auditorium of bawling students. All of us were at that age where we'd grown up with these films, but for a lot of us we'd gone through this exact scenario just a few months prior. I'm not ashamed to say I called my parents and begged them not to throw out any of my old toys, but instead give them to my niece. I of course know they're not alive, but the mental image of my childhood toys going through an incinerator almost broke me.
I love how realistic the daycare is, I used to kinda work in a daycare for school so seeing this how the younger children treat toys versus the older children, it’s so accurate😅
“There’s a fourth movie, there’s a fourth movie”
Imagine watching this in theaters and thinking that was it…
23:24 Now that I think about it. It’s possible that Daisy look for her toys like crazy. Her parents couldn’t go back and find them but perhaps they bought a new Lotso, and said to Daisy that they could only find Lotso
There's a fan theory that Buzz was still in demo mode in Toy Story 1, and when he tried to fly out the window at Sid's house, the impact from hitting the stairs when he fell caused him to switch over to play mode.
Andy sharing his love of toys with Bonnie is BEAUTIFUL 🥰🥹
This movie hit really hard for me because the notion of holding onto toys we grew up with and the experiences we had with them is something I can only halfway understand. My mom passed away when I was 12 and our old home was left abandoned for nearly 2 years essentially just as it had been when we left, but when my Dad and I finally went back to see what could and couldn't be salvaged, nature had taken its course, rats had made the home their home, and essentially everything from the furniture, to my toys and even the carpets had to be thrown out for hazmat and health concerns meaning the house was stripped clean before we remodeled.
On one hand, I'm glad that we were able to make it a home again, on the other hand all of my toys and nearly all of my collectables from before I was 12 were gone meaning for the most part all I have left now at 29 are the steadily fading memories of back then with very little of anything tangible remaining. I remember having a little stuffed bunny that I slept with as a kid, I remember having this cool optimus prime with his trailer, I remember all the legos I had and constantly building and rebuilding with them, I remember the hot wheels and matchbox cars (some of them collectables passed down from my dad), I remember the board games my sisters and my mom and I would play (especially UNO) and I remember all the drawing and sketching tools and sketchpads and artwork I had made growing up - all of it gone save for the memories themselves.
My condolences
I'm so sorry

Holy cow, are all the actors for this series dead??
@@Quetzen there are more actors still alive from this franchise
Wallace Shawn, the voice of Rex, is the only living cast member over 80.
Seeing this in the cinema back in 2010 was a different experience. Pixar knew exactly what they were doing making audiences cry twice in 10 minutes for 2 VERY different reasons
Fun fact the actor of Andy from the two movies came back for Toy Story 3. And I have to say Lotso is one of my favorite Disney Pixar Villains in the movie because of his backstory and trying to keep the toys away from being played again. Also some familiar faces as well Michael Keaton as Ken and Whoopi Goldberg as Stretch the Octopus.
Nice, my favorite Pixar villain has to be the Prospector from the 2nd movie
Watching this in the theatre, I absolutely thought they were all going to be incinerated, and was like silently crying out of pure horror.
But the last scene, as Andy says "This is Woody. He's been my pal for as long as I can remember...", there was no silence in my crying. I was openly weeping, and the ending of this movie does that to me EVERY time I watch it.
THANK YOU for watching these, and letting me come along for the ride!
There are elements of the 4th movie that I think are creative and entertaining, but it fundamentally deconstructs and undermines a trilogy’s worth of character development for Woody and Buzz. Buzz becomes a parody of himself, and Woody abandons the “it doesn’t matter how much you’re played with; what matters is to be there for (a child) when they need you” philosophy and pursues his own interests instead. It’s heartbreaking.
This came out the year I graduated High School. I can't express how rough watching this movie was then and still brings me to tears over a decade later. I was saying goodbye to my childhood at the same time.
After finding out they were making Toy Story 3, i thought there was no way it could make me cry more than Toy Story 2. I have never been so wrong about something in my life.
Such a superb trilogy.
Damn, were you alright seeing the Toy Story 4 ending?
@Kenny-ep2nf Considering that movie deviated from the essence of what makes a Toy Story movie work, it really softened the blow by the end.
@@OVWX IMO it didn’t really deviate as much as it just differed to what most people were expecting but they’s fine because change is in the air

This came out really close to my highschool graduation. We were all preparing for exams, college amd saying goodbye.
Students went to see it in theatres and would come back sobbing on Monday. 😂❤
I went to the theater to watch this movie with my little brother, and next to use sat two guys who were absolute units: super muscular, though look, militar cut hair.
At the part where Andy plays with Bonnie and he gives his toys to her, I started crying, then I heard a sniffle to my side. i looked to my right, and found both guys crying without a care in the world. I don't know why, but that made me smile while still crying, and to this day it's a memory I'll never forget.
My daughter turns 4 in August and Toy Story is her favorite franchise with 3 being her favorite of the films. She used to become absolutely distraught during the flashback scene when Lotso pushes down Big Baby in the rain. I’d hug her and she would just cling to me and sob.
Bless her heart. 💝💖
Skip this scene every time this movie's on, that way it'll make things easier
I was working in daycare when this film came out and went to the cinema with my dad to see it (tradition that we see all the toy story films together since I was little)
First shot of Sunnyside I lent in to him and said "that is NOT daycare"
First shot of the chaotic younger classroom, "now THAT is day care" 😂😂😂😂😂
So many people were crying in the movie theater (myself included). When they were about to be incinerated, my anxiety and devastation was THROUGH THE ROOF! I'll never forgive Disney for making another movie after putting so much care and love into this one. I didn't go see it, but I heard that it basically undid Woody's character.
This would’ve been one of the best trilogies but of course they had to make another one and mess it up. Toy Story 3 was the perfect sendoff
Agreed. 4th movie just shouldn’t have happened
Yeah
Money
Am I the only one who loved the 4th just as much as the original trilogy?? I was def skeptical when the news of the 4th first came up. But after finally watching it, I was pleasantly surprised and still felt that it really had so much heart. This may or may not be a spoiler idk but if you haven't seen the 4th yet, just warning you now to STOP READING POSSIBLE SPOILERS. Toy Story 3 brought it full circle, but Toy Story 4 really played to Woody's "new" found purpose: to help lost toys find their way back home or find a new home. I say "new" bc honestly it isn't new. We've seen this all throughout the first 3 movies and I think it's so amazing that, all along, Woody's been living out this purpose for years. Now he's finally ready to let go of this beautiful arc of his toy life (making his kid, no matter who, happy) and focus on being what the previous movies have been developing him to be, the guiding friend of all the lost toys. It even gives another perspective to the main song.
It wasn't a perfect trilogy. Toy Story 2 is the worst Pixar movie.
Generic, lazy, DvD'esque, fillery...
I saw this in the theater, and let me tell you, they got me good. When the toys all join hands heading towards what seems to be certain death, I started sobbing. I was like, this is how it ends?!?! Thank god, no. Sobbed again at the end. Now any time I watch this, I've got tears on a hair-trigger 😂
As one of those people who are going away. I am currently sitting in my freshman dorm crying over Toy Story, I remember watching the 3rd movie so many times. The older I get the harder the ending hits. When I was younger I was feeling the fear of leaving. Now I just feel exactly how Andy does for the first time.
I've been waiting for this one. This was the only Toy Story I saw in the theaters and that makes it just a bit more special. I might have shed a few tears in the theater and was definitely lost in my thoughts as I walked back home. Man, that ending still gets to me. This could have been the last Toy Story and I would have been satisfied. However, I don't hate the 4th one either, in fact I learned to like it, and there's one thing I gotta say about that one: It looks INCREDIBLE.
First TS movie I saw in theaters was the 4th one and it was epic IMO, I came out satisfied.
When Woody says goodbye to Andy in the Spanish dub they add a little touch that I like better, because instead of "partner" he calls him "cowboy."
Toy story 4 literally breaks most of the rules and the biggest one of "together for infinity and beyond"
*IM DONE*
I cried watching this one at the movie theater. I was 20 years old back then. 😂😅
I cried too and I was in my 40s!
no shame in that, there were some difficult scenes to digest
I remember seeing this in the theater when I was six, I loved it then and now 14 years later I've seen this more times than I can count and it's still one of my favorites
I saw this in the cinema when it first came out. It was a couple of weeks after my family and I moved out of my childhood home and a month or so before I moved to university. It hit so hard, so relatable 😢
I was at the same place as Andy when this came out. I went to see this the day it came out with my friends and it served as a monument to the end of my childhood. I had just graduated high school and was starting college that summer. It was all so serendipitous. Toy Story was always my favorite movie and they couldn't have done a better job ending the story, this along with the first are my favorite movies, so much sentimental value for me. This was supposed to be the last movie, but because it did so well Disney wanted another one. The forth movie if fine, but I have a lot of issues with it, I wont spoil anything but this should have been the end like intended. Nonetheless this is an excellent movie all around, one of Pixar's best.
Ironic I bump into this comment now that I'm soo close to finishing my course at University/college lol. I can honestly say I didn't enjoy studying
My parents took me to see the first toy story movie in theaters, before the time I even remember it, and I saw the 3rd one in theaters surrounded by friends as we just started our last summer before senior year and man... It hit HARD. We didn't know there'd be any more sequels, and for a second there I almost did believe it was all over in that inferno, but was still broken hearted all the same from that send off. It seems such a silly thing to say but most people really do keep their inner child close to their hearts. When Pixar wants to, they know how to hit it.
Mr. Potato Head was voiced by the late Don Rickles, a LEGENDARY insult comedian who was close friends with Johnny Carson, Frank Sinatra, Bob Newhart, James Dean, and even Ronald Reagan. I love that at 26:30 they let his character have a few roasts for Ken!
33:41 I love the 'Star Wars "Return of the Jedi"' reference.
I went to the theatres to watch this with my sisters and it hit us we had grown up along with Andy. When I tell you we were all bawling at the end
Woody’s strong-ass loyalty literally saved him lol 😂
25:11 arcane cameo let's goo
there's this video on youtube of a guy who edited the ending of this movie so it would end at the incinerator scene.
the toys very sadly accept they're going to die, it fades to black and the credits roll.
then he gave this edit to his mom to watch as if it was just the normal movie lol
it's so funny and now every time I watch this heartbreaking scene I just cant help to remember that and it always cracks me up xd
I still remember crying at the movie theater, so many years went by and i was scared after perfection of toy story 1 and 2 that it was a silly sequel, IT HITTED HARD ON FEELS!
Plus, i do believe that Andy will work as an animator to do kids movies or as a designer of toys i mean come on that ending scene...
I love your reactions, you're such a sensitive and clever guy, a great combo! I'll watch toy story 4 for the first time with you, i still miss that one!
When I saw this in the theater at the time...when the aliens showed up saving the gang from the furnace and them surviving, the sold out theater laughed and cheered!! I adore each film equally, and this was a lovely ending to the series.
Yes! I remember that too! I don't remember who I went to see the movie with, but I remember how stunned the whole audience was with the incinerator scene, and how everyone collectively gave the biggest sigh of relief and cheered when the claw came down.
Lotso: " She replaced ALL of us! "
That teddy bear ain't happy unless you're miserable, too. Grouches love it when people are as miserable as they are, and that's no lie.
This is the first and only animated movie that had me all choked up and teary eyed. The furnace scene literally had me bawling. This is the best animated movie ever. 💝
The scene that hit me was when Andy intuitively pulled back woody from Bonnie. I don’t remember when I last watched this but I clearly don’t remember crying at that moment but watching it now through this reaction made me cry.
These three movies have a very special place in my heart and they always make me feel just about every emotion possible when I’m watching them without fail. A big part of that is because of the fact that I was born in late 1991. This means that I was 3 and a half when the first one was released (it was actually the second movie I ever saw in theatres and one of my earliest memories is seeing it in theatres with my uncle. I was 7 when the second one came out, right at the age when I became consciously aware of growing up and noticing that I was no longer as interested in the toys and hobbies that used to be my favourites. Then the third one came out when I was 18 during the summer before I left for university (I was an emotional mess in the theatre) and it honestly made me decide to bring my old teddy bear that I got as a birthday present (meaning it was given to me as a present on the day I was born) to university.
Watching this in theaters was truly a magical experience
This movie is so preferctly brilliant of an ending that it took me literal years before i could rewatch it because it came out when i was in the exact same phase of life as andy that I felt deep sadness that everytime id go to rewatch it after the first viewing id remember how upsetting it was and then just avoid watching it an go back and watch 1 and 2. That has since passed and I can watch these movies all fine but i think i goes to show just how amazing art can be and how impactful a good story can be upon our lives and our souls. This series is and will always be my favorite Animated Series for that reason and I seriously hope they dont release 5 without there being the prefect story and reason to else they should leave the series be until that moment!
You mentioned people around Andy's age seeing these movies when they came out:
My name is Andy, and I grew up with these films. When I was little, we had a family friend who had a house in Florida where we would vacation every year. I used to always want to fall asleep to the VHS of Toy Story 1 whenever we were there. Of course I went through a phase of writing my name on the bottom of my toys because of this movie haha.
Fast forward to the summer after my high school graduation, right before I was going to college, and my parents took some of my friends and me to Florida to celebrate. This movie had just come out, and we all decided to go see it at the theater in Disney Springs. At the end, my parents were a mess of course with the whole college thing, and all of us 18 year old tough guys were trying (and failing, lol) to not show how emotional we all were. We still talk about that day; it's one of my most treasured memories.
It's really hard to overstate how much I love these films; I literally grew up with Andy. I love all 4 of them, and I'm really glad you've been enjoying them as well!
This one is my favorite because it’s totally my childhood
This movie came out the day before my wedding. My husband and I are both way into Disney and loved the first two. We took our bridal party to see it before the wedding rehearsal. It was the perfect movie to capture everything I was feeling in that moment.
I mean, yeah, there’s a fourth movie now, but imagine watching this in theatres as the characters you grow up with realize the only thing they can do is hold hands and accept their fate. Back then he wouldn’t of known when there was gonna be a fourth movie.
I BAWLED my eyes out during this in the movie theater!!! It was the first time I cried ever during a movie, like 13 year old me didn't know at the time there would be a 4th you know? lol... Great reaction Oscar :D
I cried so hard watching this in theaters. Even though I was a bit younger, I still cried just because of the beautiful conclusion and the bittersweetness of moving on
did you see the 4th one?
@@Kenny-ep2nf I did, but I did not like it as much. I liked Bo’s updated design, but other than that I was not as fond of it
@@nataliecox6032 fair enough, I personally enjoyed it as it explored a new theme than what we’ve been exposed to before. With that being said I can see Woody convincing Bo Peep to join him as he finds his friends
33:48 the cheering for the baby toy was hilarious 😂 i love how much you were invested
8:10 That guy there is in fact none other than Sid from the first movie!
I was 8 when it first came out and 23 when this one came out. So yeah you’re right the theater was full mostly with people in our early 20s.
It's incredible how the end of this movie can still make me cry like the first time I've watched it.
Those of us watching it in the theatre didn't get to say, "There's a 4th movie. There's a 4th movie." as they were facing the incinerator. From that point on it was pretty much tears all the way.
I grew up with this franchise and saw this in theatres when i was 16. I was okay up until 40:47 when Andy pulled Andy away and me and my sister bawled our eyes out 😭😭😭
Here we go! Love this one, and if never fails to bring me to tears😊 Great reaction
i went to the premier of this after my eighth grade formal with some friends. its such a core memory because even tho i was only 13, it resonated. them just holding hands and waiting for death literally took me out in the theatres and gets me everytime. its so beautiful, so sad.
You are spot on about the ages of the people watching and how it was made for older children/ teens/ young adults. I was only 3 when Toy Story came out. I was 7 when Toys Story 2 came out and Toy Story 3 came out about a week before I turned 18. And when I went to see 3 in the cinema, the audience was mostly people around my age. I remember that the only difference between me seeing 2 and 3 at the cinema, aside from the obvious age gap, was that I had a beer whilst watching 3, which really helped play into the theme of growing up.
Interesting Fact: Andy's voice is the same voice as Andy from the 2 previous movies but grown up.
I love rewatching my favourite movies with you because I get to learn something new about them in your comment section 😂 I somehow didn't even know they got the original va for Andy to come back here
I was 20 years old when this cam out, so I grew up with Toy Story movies and I still remember sitting in the movie theatre next to my mum, both of us WEEPING during that incinerator scene thinking it was truly the end... scenes like this solidify in my mind how much I respect and admire the storytelling emphasis at Pixar.. they are masters.. without question.
Wow i never really realised how emotional the movie and ending is...that "So long, partner" almost made me cry and i haven't seen toy story 3 since i was young
As someone who hadn't been a huge fan of Toy Story growing up, this movie is still close to my heart. A few more films I'd like to recommend for you: Secretariat, Black Beauty (1994), A Dog's Purpose, A Dog's Journey, Homeward Bound, Air Bud, Hidalgo, Watership Down (the film, not the miniseries), and, if you can, the Redwall Animated Series.
Oh, and the live-action Alice in Wonderland.
I was 3 or 4 when the first Toy Story came out, and then Andy's age when TS3 was released. This one hit very, very close to home. I was an absolute mess in the cinema.
To me, this will always be a perfect farewell to the series.
One of my all time favourite movies, so happy you reacted to it.
because this movie was a few years out from the second one, everyone who watched Toy Story 1 was kind of around Andy's age too so it was like really the perfect timing and everything. like you realized you're also at a crossroads of your life and such. which makes it extra endearing and heartfelt.
24:05 Oooh No! In the sand pit?!?!
This video is an eye--opener! Incredibly empowering.. -- "Life's value lies in the lessons it teaches us.."
The fact that these movies can still get me to cry after so many years is a testament to the writing. I wish the industry would go back to making movies like this.
30:50 This was actually the swan song for Mr. Potato Head, performed by the great Don Rickles, so I'm glad he played a vital role. 31:46 "Platonic?" lol As if two toys can not be?
I don't often cry at movies but I wept at this. First at the incinerator and then even more when Andy gave them away at the end. I get teary just thinking of the end of this movie still. As a kid I just so heavily related to Andy. I watched those first two movies so many times and imagined my toys were just like these. Then when this movie came out I was preparing to go to college myself in the fall and also still had so many of my childhood toys. It just hits so personally for me.
When I tell you I cried my eyes out at the end of this movie when I first watched it, I mean it. I was a little kid when Toy Story came out. I didn't watch this movie until after I had graduated from high school. It felt like I was saying goodbye to my childhood, as you said. It brought up so many emotions.
Andy Knew His Toys Were Alive. Here’s Why (THIS IS JUST A THEORY)
In Toy Story 3, we see Andy panicking when he realizes his beloved toys are missing. By the end of the movie, however, he finds them in a donation box and his reaction is surprisingly calm and unbothered. Why? Because Andy knew his toys were alive.
The Trash Bag Incident:
Andy put the toys in a trash bag, intending to store them in the attic. Yet they mysteriously ended up in a donation box in his room. Andy doesn’t question this at all, even though it’s clearly strange.
The Farewell Scene:
At the end, Bonnie waves Woody’s hand, and Andy laughs, saying, “Thanks, guys.” This line feels oddly specific, almost as if he’s directly acknowledging the toys themselves, not Bonnie.
Saying Goodbye To Woody:
When Bonnie finds Woody in the box, Andy obviously knows thats really strange but holds Woody while looking at him. He says some things to Woody like, hes kind, will never let you down. Things like that before finally giving Woody to Bonnie.
Why Didn’t Andy Tell Anyone?
Andy likely chose to keep their secret for a few reasons:
Protecting the Toys: He just decided it was better not to tell anyone.
Respecting Their Autonomy: Over the years, Andy may have realized the toys were alive and chose to respect their decision to remain a secret.
Letting Go: By the time Andy went to college, he understood it was time to move on. Saying goodbye to the toys while keeping their secret intact was his way of honoring their bond.
The Bigger Picture
This theory adds depth to Andy’s character. It suggests that his love for his toys went beyond childhood imagination. He understood and valued their sentience, making his farewell in Toy Story 3 even more bittersweet.
reach for the sky is the coldest line. its so underrated
