History TearJerker / ToyStory3

* During the end credits, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu8GQQctTi4 this Spanish version]] of "You've Got a Friend in Me" plays during a special end scene. It is both beautiful and heart-wrenching because you've known these characters for years now, and now it's time to say goodbye. (or [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory4 not...]])

** Who'd thought RLeeErmey could say something so moving.

* The beginning of a '''trailer''' for ''Toy Story 3'': A sad song playing over footage of young Andy playing with his toys. (set just after ''[=TS2=]''). Just.... [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEKywp0d-Fw watch it.]] If this movie can make you cry in the '''''first minute of the trailer''''' then expect this movie to be absolutely full of these moments. Oh, and that song playing in the trailer? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qva9nTdESoQ Here's the full version.]] It's called ''Losing You'' by Randy Newman.

* Andy's voice actor has never changed. Ever. The young man who provided Andy's voice in this movie was the same little boy who did Andy's voice in the first two films. The only voices that changed were Molly's (as Molly was just a wee baby before) and Slinky's (because of ActorExistenceFailure). Everyone but those two kept their original voices from the first two films.

* Don't deny it: You felt bad for Big Baby when it remembered it's previous owner Daisy.

* At the beginning of the film, Woody tells Slinky to gather everyone for a staff meeting. Slinky's response? Everyone ''is'' already gathered. For anyone who grew up with the first film and remembered seeing the countless number of toys that attended Woody's staff meeting, seeing such a large population reduced to just under a dozen (combined with Slinky's response) gave the film [[AfterTheEnd an eerily post-apocalyptic feel]].

** It gets worse when Lotso just screams at him and starts whacking him. Nobody can blame Big Baby when he starts crying (or at least as close as a toy can get to it).

* [[spoiler: Just the fact that Lotso had a perfect chance to redeem himself in the incinerator scene but he]][[MoralEventHorizon threw it all away]].

* For [[PrimeEvil me]], the phrase, "I brought my attack dog! With a built-in forcefield!" started the waterworks. I'm a sucker for BookEnds and all those other little symmetries the cosmos runs on, and for the third to go right back to the beginning was ''magic''. Utter magic. It was even more powerful because I've seen each one in theaters...[[ManlyTears It was also the first time I can remember that I cried nonstop throughout.]]

* The Incinerator Scene. Children's toys. Accepting oblivion. Even after repeated viewings a few tears will be shed. When the toys were facing death together in the furnace, they seemed to break off into groups, depending on who was closest. So, every toy was huddling close to another, or burying their faces in each other's shoulders (Buzz and Jessie, the Potatoheads), ''except Woody''. Sure, he was holding Buzz and Slinky's hands, but they were too far off for him to really get close. At the very end, when everyone else has someone close, in comparison, Woody is facing this ''alone''. It's then that you realize that, since the beginning, Woody has been the one keeping them all together. And he's still doing that at the very end.

* Andy's mom gasps as the realization that her son is really leaving finally sinks in. That one gasp, and hug. Her line shortly after the gasp. It's failproof:

* Sort of a Fridge Tearjerker, but anyone who's grown up with a pet will recognize that the puppy that was so vibrant and energetic in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory 2'' is, well, not long for this world in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory 3''. Given his condition, it would be surprising if he lasts through Andy's first semester.
