*** [[Troper/LaPetiteSinge WORD.]] 22-year-old female who literally moved out on her own that ''week'', sobbing hysterically whilst seeing the movie alone and probably scaring the kids in the row ahead of her. Classy.

* A bit Meta, but this animation fanatic troper, found the inclusion of a {{Totoro}} doll in some scenes, truly heartwarming, because it shows the high amount of respect that Pixar has for their predecessors.

*** This Troper and her friend since 8th grade, who are both now 18, went to the local drive-in to see the movie. With us, I brought my old Woody and Buzz dolls. I cradled Woody the entire movie, claiming "I have a feeling at the end of this, Woody's going to need a hug." It turns out I needed the hug, as I absolutely sobbed during the last 15 minutes or so, getting Woody's shirt wet. And for old time's sake, I squeezed his chest and his little voice box told me "You're my favorite deputy!" I was inconsolable for several minutes after the movie ended.

That right there was enough to make this troper start tearing up, especially considering how the last scene of the Toy Story series so brilliantly mirrors the beginning of the first]]. This even made hardened industry businessmen bawl during screenings.

** [[spoiler:And how Andy gets all choked up as he's getting into his car right after.]]

****** 31 and [[MenDontCry male]]. Tears at the beginning and end with plenty to spare between that, which never really happened before (only really happened before at the end of about 3 different movies in this lifetime). Dammit Pixar, tear ducts are like nipples, men have them but aren't meant to use them - I hope you're buried in awards for this, you've earned them.

**** Doubly heartwarming when you think about how in the earlier movies, the Aliens thought of The Claw as something that could never be controlled and it was like a force of nature that they just went along with. So in essence [[spoiler: The Aliens [[ScrewDestiny took control of their own destiny]] in a way. And in a film about growing up, it fits really well.

* What better way to begin
the edit button groundbreaking Pixar legacy of [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming CMOHW]] than with [[EarWorm "You've got a friend in me..."]]?
* Perfect for bringing viewers back into the mood when they used it in the teaser and beginning for ''Toy Story 3''.
** The whole movie was one big CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming with pieces of awesome here and there, and there, and there.
* [[GwenStacyWannabe This troper]] just saw the 3D double feature in theaters. Most of the 3D was pretty subtle, but my personal favorite part was at the end of the first film, when a bunch of little kids reached up
to catch the 3D "snow" that was falling into the audience. Awwww.
* The scene that always makes me choke up is when Woody is trying to snap Buzz out of his funk and tells him "Over in that house is a kid who thinks you are the greatest and it's not because you're a space-ranger pal. It's because you're a TOY. You are HIS TOY!" Especially good when you read it in the 'toys-as-parents' interpretation...
*Buzz realizing he's a toy.

[[AC:ToyStory 2]]
* After Woody was kidnapped by Al, Buzz without hesitation is ready to pull a rescue mission for him.
--> "Woody once risked his life to save mine, and I couldn't call myself his friend if I wasn't willing to do the same. Now who's with me?"
* And also this scene, when the rescue team is exhausted.
--> '''Buzz''': Come on, fellas. Did Woody give up when Sid had me strapped to a rocket?
--> '''Rex, Hamm, Mr. Potato Head, Slinky Dog''': No.
--> '''Buzz''': No. And did he give up when you threw him out of the back of that moving van?
--> '''Mr. Potato Head''': Oh, you had to bring *that* up!
--> '''Buzz''': No, he didn't! We have a friend in need, and we're not going to rest until he's safe in Andy's room! Now, let's move out!
* Woody and Buzz talk to each other about the fear of eventually being forgotten by Andy someday.
--> '''Buzz''': "You still worried?"
--> '''Woody''': "About Andy? Nah, it will be fun while it lasts."
--> '''Buzz''': " I'm proud of you cowboy."
--> '''Woody''': Besides, when it all ends, [[ThePowerOfFriendship I'll have ol' Buzz Lightyear to keep me company.]] For infinity and beyond.
* Say what you will about "You've Got a Friend in Me", but "When Somebody Loved Me" holds the record as the only Disney song that can make this troper cry just listening to it, let alone actually watching the scene.
* Some may call this a slightly skewed version, but this troper always loves the scene with Zurg and the other Buzz playing catch as father and son.
* If subversions count, the first appearance of [[spoiler: Stinky Pete the Prospector. Seriously, at first glance, you wouldn't believe he was evil would you?]] It works, because at the time, there was no such thing as YouTube or {{Wikipedia}} or... TVTropes, so Internet spoilers weren't as common place as they are now.

this new page.troper found about that scene is how [[spoiler:Andy describes to Bonnie how he remembers each toy,]] showing it isn't that he really ''forgot'' about them, he simply outgrew them and now we see he still remembers how special they all are to him.
** [[spoiler:And how Andy gets all choked up as he's getting into his car right after.]]

** 22 year old here.
*** 23. --{{Tropers/Jonn}}
**** I'm 30, and I love the Toy Story movies, as do my parents. The three of us got together to see the film, and we were, all of us, ''weeping''. If you can't cry at all during this film, then you're made out of STONE!
***** [[http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20396740,00.html EW did a goddamn article about how everyone cried at Toy Story 3]]
****** 21 and I bawled like I was a little girl again.
** This troper just realized something that makes it even better/worse: [[spoiler: Most of the focus is on Woody, Buzz and Jessie in that scene... but who's holding Woody's other hand? ''[[UndyingLoyalty Slin]][[LoyalAnimalCompanion ky.]]'']] Excuse me; I've got [[SandInMyEyes something in my eye...]]
** The real kicker comes [[spoiler: just after Woody shuts his eyes - suddenly, a bright blue light appears from above, and [[BigDamnHeroes THE FREAKING CLAW comes hurtling down and grabs the toys right out of mortal danger]]. And then we see the three green aliens controlling it intone, "The Claaaaw." Never have those two words sounded so beautiful.]] This troper went from crying with fear and sorrow to sobbing with joy and relief.
* The beginning , which is probably just as melancholy as the ending. It may not be as heartbreaking as the beginning scene from Up, but good god is it tearful. Not only are we shown [[spoiler: the Andy we know playing with his toys through an old betamax tape which constantly reminds us this is all in the past, not only do we see him aging over time, or that we see that his entire toy family is decreasing, BUT this is all accompanied with the original "You've Got A Friend In Me". It turns right into TearJerker territory when it ends on the line ''Our friendship will never die..'']]
* Mr. Potato Head finally warming up to the Green Aliens calling them "his boys" with both him and Mrs. Potato Head saying [[spoiler: [[DialogueReversal "You have saved our lives. And we are eternally grateful."]]]]
*Bonnie practically defines this trope. Not only is she painstakingly adorable and hilarious in every single scene, her playtime so brilliantly mirrors that of Andy's that it's impossible not to gush at her.
**This scene, during Bonnie's first playtime introduction after she drinks too much pretend coffee. Caution: EXTREME {{Moe}} Ahead, will lead to Cuteness Overload in all individuals [[http://i45.tinypic.com/110w40n.jpg]]
* [[spoiler: The entire WhereAreTheyNow end credits, where Bonnie's toys have gladly welcomed Andy's into the family and Sunnyside is made "cool and groovy!" thanks to Barbie and Ken (who knew they could be so awesome?). Even the [[BrickJoke toy soldiers]] get a happy ending, landing at Sunnyside. The fact it ends with [[DancePartyEnding everyone dancing]] to a [[GratuitousSpanish Spanish]] version of [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome "You've Got a Friend In Me"]] just makes it the perfect conclusion to one of the best trilogies of all time.]]
** What got me about it, kind of mixed with a CrowningMomentOfFunny was how Potato Head looks with disgust at Woody's dancing. Kind of brings a "Back to normal" vibe to it.
** Chuckles the Clown [[spoiler: smiling at the end]]. NotSoStoic for kids, and just as powerful.
* At the end, [[spoiler: Andy gives Woody once last piggyback ride, just like he used to when he was a kid and as seen from the video tape.]] MeaningfulEcho that one.
* Say what you want Woody/Jessie shippers, but the end credit scene with Buzz and Jessie doing a ''paso doble'' to the Gypsy King's "[[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Hay Un Amigo En Mi]]" pretty much solidifies their romance together at the end of the film.
