History YMMV / ToyStory3

* CompleteMonster: [[Characters/ToyStoryLotso Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear]] is the ruler of [[Characters/ToyStorySunnysideDaycareToys Sunnyside Daycare]], and oppresses the other toys through brute force and violence. Originally the favorite toy of a young girl named Daisy, Lotso was [[VengefulAbandonedToy mistakenly lost and replaced, leading him to believe that all toys were worthless and unloved]]. Taking over Sunnyside, Lotso subjects the toys in the Caterpillar Room to horrid mistreatment from the younger children. When Andy's toys request that they be relocated to the Butterfly Room, Lotso [[BrainwashedAndCrazy resets Buzz Lightyear]] and has him beat down his friends, showing a cold satisfaction while doing so. When Woody frees the toys and they attempt to escape, Lotso has [[ColdBloodedTorture Chatter Telephone beaten]] in order to get him to explain Woody's escape plan before ordering the toys disposed of in the dumpster. When his minions turn on him and he is taken to the dump, along with Andy's toys, he abandons them to burn to death in the incinerator, [[UngratefulBastard ignoring that they had previously saved his life]]. While he has a [[TragicVillain tragic]] backstory, Woody himself [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse calls him out on how weak it is]], stating that Lotso had abandoned her; not the other way around. Sociopathic and misanthropic, Lotso may have [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon appeared]] and [[FauxAffablyEvil acted]] innocent, but was in fact depraved to his core.

* FanonWelding: Many fans theorized that one of the kids (the one playing with the blue cat and flower) in the first scene featuring the butterfly room is an older Boo from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'', [[https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/34c0ce00-4b2b-4113-ae46-282dc56aae1c/dcb2mwq-6fed3af7-6ffe-4e62-be4f-6ba2df646f7d.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOiIsImlzcyI6InVybjphcHA6Iiwib2JqIjpbW3sicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvMzRjMGNlMDAtNGIyYi00MTEzLWFlNDYtMjgyZGM1NmFhZTFjXC9kY2IybXdxLTZmZWQzYWY3LTZmZmUtNGU2Mi1iZTRmLTZiYTJkZjY0NmY3ZC5wbmcifV1dLCJhdWQiOlsidXJuOnNlcnZpY2U6ZmlsZS5kb3dubG9hZCJdfQ.CQ7uF1qGZ_LKgQgYsF31hVbU0fzxg7bMcSnGyQT4k1c due to her similar design to Boo]] and being shown to play with a blue cat plush (she frequently called the blue Sulley, "Kitty" in the original film), on top of saying boo. This was eventually {{Jossed}} by director [[https://twitter.com/leeunkrich/status/371089556243640320 Lee Unkrich]].

** It was rumored that [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Boo]] could be seen in the Butterfly room during the movie, but this was {{Jossed}}. Funnily enough, ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory4'' [[spoiler: actually ''does'' feature a legitimate cameo from Boo, where she's a student in Bonnie's kindergarten class, possibly in reference to these very rumors.]]

* MisaimedMarketing:
** You know that [[NightmareFuel utterly horrifying]] and [[{{TearJerker}} heartbreaking]] scene of the toys inside the trash compactor? Now you can [[http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Story-Trash-Compactor-Escape/dp/B003DTMQAM/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1439140011&sr=1-1&keywords=toy+story+3+incinerator relive the magic]] in LEGO form! And the creepy look on Lotso's face doesn't help.
** Disneyland also liberally used the incinerator scene for an extended sequence in their "Pixar Magic" fireworks/projection show, complete with Woody's heartwrenching BigNo. Even if it was an excuse to use the flamethrower effect, some audience members have not enjoyed going through the trauma of the scene again!

** Thought the scene of Andy sacrificing Woody to Bonnie after giving away all his other toys was enough? [[spoiler: Come ''Toy Story 4'' and Bonnie has been outright neglecting Woody in favor of the other toys. Not only that, but at the end, Woody leaves Bonnie to be with Bo Peep.]]

** This wouldn't be the first time that [[spoiler:[[Film/Barbie2023 Ken would be a villain opposing Barbie in a movie]]. That Ken even has his own HeelFaceTurn at the end!]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Stinky Pete is implied to have actually grown to eventually like being played with by Amy (the girl he was "Given" to at the end of the second movie). It would have been amazing to have him reappear and be on the side of Woody's group.

* IKnewIt: The Barbie back-up singers in Toy story 2 are never explained, and just seem to appear in Andy's room out of nowhere. Most people just assumed they belonged to Molly, due to Barbies being traditionally "Girl's toys". This film confirms that Molly owned Barbies.
