* DarkerAndEdgier: is considered mu h more intense than the first two, as well as unusually dark for a {{Pixar}} movie. This is one of the more {{justified| Trope}} examples, though, since the concepts introduced earlier in the series leave room for FridgeHorror. The third has a more intense feel because it [[AscendedFridgeHorror calls attention to a fair bit of said fridge horror]].

----
!!The film provides examples of:
* FiveFiveFive: Andy's cell phone number is 555-0112, written on Buzz's wrist for use in "Operation: Playtime".
* AccentAdaptation: Given the very clear nature of Buzz' Spanish dance moves, some of the Spanish-language dubs keep him Spanish, but give him a thick Andalusian accent, of the "huge lisp" variety (Like the one the [[{{Shrek}} Puss in Boots]] has)
* ActionizedSequel: With this being number 3 in a trilogy fifteen years in the making, character introductions are almost moot point, with even more dramatic escape sequences taking place in comparison to its predecessors.
* ActorAllusion: A meta-example: After [[spoiler:Lotso caught the toys in their escape attempt]], Barbie briefly quotes the Declaration of Independence when refusing to [[spoiler:return to Lotso]] (which also shocks Mr. Potato Head at her knowledge of that). Jodi Benson, the voice actress for Barbie, considered pursuing a law degree before deciding to settle for acting.
* AdvertisedExtra: Stretch the octopus is displayed prominently on the DVD cover, despite having about ten minutes of screen time.
* AffablyEvil: Lotso. Very [[SouthernGentleman affable]], very evil. He's agreeable enough when you're on his good side. Disagree with him, however, and he smirks as he ''has you set to Demo Mode'' or sends your best buddy to lock you up. As the movie progresses, his gentlemanly demeanour seems less AffablyEvil and more FauxAffablyEvil.
-->'''Lotso:''' You lost, little doggie?\\
'''Slinky:''' [[OhCrap Ah!]]
* AnachronismStew: The opening scene. There's Woody and Jessie, the cowboy and cowgirl, chasing Potato Head on a 19th century style steam train. Then a pink sports car turns up, then spaceman Buzz Lightyear and later Slinky Dog is some sort of high tech forcefield dog contraption. Ham has a pig-shaped spaceship, with a cockpit filled with computers, lights and a teleporter and a WaveMotionGun in the snout. Finally, there's Rex, the ''dinosaur''. Justified in that this is all a story made up by a six year old and the ludicrous nature of it is clearly powered by his sense of RuleOfCool.
** This scene is a retelling of the first two movies' opening sequences blended together.
* AndIMustScream: The ultimate fate of Lotso. This also sums up the toys' treatment in the Caterpillar Room pretty well. [[note]]Though in the ending, the old Butterfly Room toys decide to do this, but in shifts...[[/note]]
* AndTheAdventureContinues: When Andy leaves his toys in the care of their new kid Bonnie.
* AreYouSureThisIsForKids: The movie is marketed not only to kids, but also to teenagers who saw the first two movies as kids.
* AssShove: Done in the epilogue when Mr. Potato Head discovers the Peas-in-a-Pod popping out of his rear hatch.
-->"I told you kids, stay out of my butt!"
* BearHug: From Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear.
* BearsAreBadNews: Lotso Bear [[SealedEvilInATeddyBear plays this straight]].
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: At the beginning, the toys want nothing more than to be played with again. When they get to Sunnyside, they get what they want. Boy ''howdy'', do they get it. And considering how disgruntled they were at the prospect of being stuck in the attic, by the end of the adventure attitudes seem to have changed somewhat in-between courtesy of Sunnyside [[spoiler:and the Dump]]:
-->'''Mr. Potato Head:''' You know all those bad things I said about the attic? ''I take it all back''.\\
'''Hamm:''' You ''said'' it.
* BerserkButton: Lotso really should not have broken the name tag in front of Big Baby.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Lotso turns out to be the most vicious character in the film.
** Do ''not'' threaten Barbie's friends if you know what's good for you.
* BigBrotherInstinct: At the end of the movie Andy gives all of his toys to Bonnie, with the prompting of Woody writing her address on a sticky note which he put on top the box of toys initially meant for the attic. When Bonnie is initially scared of the strange older boy approaching her, Andy kneels down at her eye level to introduce himself and describe all of his toys to Bonnie. The scene ends with Andy and Bonnie playing with all of their toys in Bonnie's front yard before Andy drives off to college.
** Also with his own sister. After some light back-and-forth bickering, when Andy sees Molly having trouble with a heavy box he helps her out at once.
* BigDamnHeroes: {{Two words| obvious trope}}: "The ''claaaawww!''"
* BigNo: Woody gets one when falling into the incinerator.
* BittersweetEnding: The ending appears to be this way. [[spoiler:The toys now have a new owner, but they have lost many of their friends to yard sales and donations, [[TearJerker and will probably never see Andy again]].]]
* BlindSeer: Mrs. Potato Head is missing one of her eyes for most of the movie. However, whenever she covers up her one eye she can see plot-important events from her missing eye's location such as Andy getting upset with his mom for throwing the toys away, since he meant to put them in the attic instead, contrary to what all the toys sans Woody believe.
* BlowingARaspberry: Big Baby does this to [[spoiler:Lotso.]]
* BoleroEffect: Used in the music of the [[spoiler:incinerator scene.]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Buzz, after Lotso forcibly switches him to "Demo" mode.
* BrickJoke: Sarge and the army men.
** "The CLAAAAAAAAW..." A BrickJoke that takes two movies and several ''years'' [[UpToEleven to set up and deliver on.]]
*** [[HilariousInHindsight Especially awesome]] when you remember the line from the first movie, [[spoiler:"The claw chooses who will go and who will stay."]] They were right!
** The triceratops is one as well; at the end of the first movie, Rex was talking about how he would love for Andy to get an herbivore so he could play the dominant predator. Look who he ends up paling around with during the credits of the third movie?
* CallBack: God bless the poor soul who watched this movie before the first two. Some references to the previous films are quick and may not even make sense without that context. A partial list:
## To the first movie:
*** Many lines in the film's opening are taken directly from the original film's opening, including One-Eyed Bart, his "ha ha ha, money money money!" line, his "attack dog with built-in force field", and the opposing "dinosaur who eats force field dogs."
*** Andy looks over Woody and Buzz, picks them up, and chooses one. The framing echoes when he was putting toys into the chest during the "Strange Things" sequence. This time he chooses Woody for college.
*** Woody's "It doesn't matter how much we're played with, what matters is that we're here for Andy when he needs us." is invoked in the beginning.
*** Woody hosts a staff meeting and asks Slinky to gather everyone (only this time Slinky doesn't have ''nearly'' as many toys to gather).
*** The Army Men (or what's left of them) go on recon missions for the other toys, this time getting Andy's cell phone.
*** Andy's mom finds stuff that Andy left lying around, and gets upset: the army men in the first movie (though he didn't do it) and a trash bag in the third.
*** Trixie reminds us about how Rex wanted a plant-eating dinosaur to be one of Andy's presents.
*** A little girl (Bonnie instead of Sid's sister Hannah) inserts a main character (this time Woody instead of Buzz) into a tea party she's having with other toys.
*** When [[spoiler:Bonnie]] hugs Woody and the toys after playing with them after the imaginary spaceship, Buttercup winking at Woody is a callback in the first movie when Andy picks up Woody and Buzz when they land in the car.
*** The garbageman with headphones? Sid, all grown up.
*** The truck Lotso, Big Baby, and Chuckles ride on the back of is the Pizza Planet delivery truck.
*** Buzz's dialogue after Woody and the others attempt to reset him is the exact same as his dialogue when he first came out of his box... except in Spanish. Also, he aims his laser right at the center of Woody's forehead... which is exactly what he did upon meeting Woody for the first time in the first movie. You can also see that the sticker that represents the radio he has on his wrist is no longer there, because Buzz himself peeled it off in the first movie.
*** One scene during Andy and Bonnie's playtime is Andy carrying Woody on his shoulders, which he did at the start of the title sequence for the first movie.
*** The last shot we see at the end of the film is a bright blue sky with clouds, the exact same as Andy's wallpaper which [[BookEnds introduced]] ''Toy Story''.
*** The wing section of the Buzz Lightyear manual ends with "NOT A FLYING TOY", a warning flashed in a Buzz Lightyear toy commercial that caused Buzz's HeroicBSOD.
*** The last toy Woody holds hands with during the Incinerator Scene is not Buzz, but Slinky, Woody's friend before Buzz showed up.
*** "THE CLAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW!" was originally mentioned by the aliens in the first movie.
## To the second movie:
*** Evil Doctor Porkchop and Death by Monkeys in the opening.
*** Jessie commenting, "It's Emily all over again!"
*** Jessie yodels multiple times and calls for animals, which is mildly confusing without knowing those were her character traits on [[ShowWithinAShow Show Within the Movie]] ''Woody's Roundup''.
*** Woody tries to ride Buster to yet another rescue mission, but Buster has gotten too old and chubby to do this anymore.
*** Woody attempts to slide down the drainpipe in order to save the rest of the toys. [[BoringFailureHero He fails]]. [[EpicFail Epically]].
*** While Woody and Buzz are looking at a young picture of Andy, Woody comments that they'll be together "[[IronicEcho For infinity and beyond]]".
*** [[IronicEcho "You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful"]] and the Little Green Men being the adopted children of the Potato Heads.
*** Hamm claims dibs on Barbie's Corvette car when she's thrown into the Sunnyside box. He enjoyed driving the car around the aisles of Al's Toy Barn.
*** Using Slinky as a bungee cord: When the toys reach Andy's house again, they climb to the roof of the garage, which leads to his bedroom window. The camera angle is the exact same as when the toys leave to rescue Woody in ''Toy Story 2''.
*** Zurg was referenced in the first movie, but you wouldn't recognize him in his cameo unless you saw ''Toy Story 2''.
*** Jessie's panic attacks at the thought of going into storage, again.
*** A tiny one: Golf clubs are instrumental in the rescue of a toy in both films. With varied results.
*** A FreezeFrameBonus in the Buzz Lightyear instruction manual. The Accessories section mentions that the Buzz Lightyear Utility Belt is "coming soon!". The other Buzz from the second film had a utility belt.
*** If you look carefully at Woody's right arm, it's got red stitching different from the left along the shoulder, which is where Andy sewed his arm back on.
## To both films:
*** A very good portion of the film's soundtrack is itself a {{Leitmotif}} throwback to each of the films. The opening sequence, for example, uses Buzz's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykzud8VYlo4 theme]] from ''Toy Story'' (Buzz's arrival uses a version of Buzz's theme[[note]]from when he was "falling with style" in Andy's room near the beginning[[/note]] and the climactic soundtrack from ''Toy Story''.), while scenes like where Woody is found alive by his friends are from Andy's return home in 2 [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlR3NEvneSI]], and when the toys [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLeoe2Dl_Ek finally arrive home.]]
*** Woody mentions that several toys from the previous two films (such as Etch and Bo Peep) have been given away in the time between ''2'' and ''3''. (The mentioning of Bo, in particular, appears to mildly dishearten Woody, due to the romantic relationship they shared in the previous two films).
*** The looping orange racetrack Buzz used to "fall with style" in the original and Jessie used to help Buster in the sequel is mentioned to be stored in the attic.
*** Lotso's backstory. Him getting lost on a trip out and having to make his way back home to the owner he is intensely loyal to: That's the plot of the first movie right there. Him being replaced and his IfICantHaveYou: Hey, Woody, remember when you pushed Buzz out the window? His philosophy that all toys are destined to be treated as garbage: Remember when Woody was more willing to go to a museum than to Andy because he was afraid he'd be thrown out eventually? Lotso is [[FutureMeScaresMe Woody from a bad future.]]
## [[http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/18/toy-story-3-easter-eggs/ Other Pixar films]]:
*** The quick series of shots over which Chatter Telephone narrates all the obstacles the toys will face in their escape from Sunnyside recalls a similar sequence detailing the plan to escape the fish tank in ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' (both are ''MissionImpossible'' parodies and visual shout-outs to the films of David Fincher).
*** Big Baby resembles the creepy baby who fell victim to the Uncanny Valley in the {{Pixar short|s}} ''Tin Toy''. In that short, a number of toys hide from said child. The same toys are also shown hiding from the toddlers of the Caterpillar Room before the kids return from recess.
*** FreezeFrameBonus: Andy's board has a postcard from Carl and Ellie of ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}''; his posters feature the Omnidroid of ''TheIncredibles''; fish from ''Finding Nemo'' are seen in stickers on his wall and in paintings at the daycare; Sunnyside has toy versions of ''Nemo'''s Mister Ray and some of the characters from ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'' (non-anthropomorphic Snot Rod on Andy's calendar (August) and Finn Mcmissile from ''Cars 2'' on a poster, also, when the children burst into the room for the first time, one of the them is wearing a "95" shirt). Buzz Lightyear is powered by batteries from [[WesternAnimation/WallE Buy n Large]].
*** The locomotive at the start of the movie is also numbered "95"; these are references to when the first ''Toy Story'' came out.
*** There's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FiCJUDrfB0&feature=watch_response a little girl]] in the Butterfly Room who looks suspiciously like an older version of Boo from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc''. She is playing with a purple and blue kitty.
* TheCameo: A doll of Studio Ghibli's own [[MyNeighborTotoro Totoro]] is a minor character in the film, and the first ''Toy Story'' character to also be a character from another movie. And yes, he still has his trademark Totoro grin.
* CampStraight: Ken. From his frilly handwriting, to his many clothes, to his happiness when [[ItsRainingMen the army men parachute in the ending]]. Even dating Barbie doesn't help matters.
** He really can't help it. He's a male character but a ''girls' toy''. Made for and marketed to girls.
*** "I'm not a girl's toy! [[InsistentTerminology I'm NOT!]]"
*** "You're not a toy! You're an accessory! You're a purse with legs."
* CaptivityHarmonica: Hamm plays one.
** It's also worth noting that Lotso's theme is played with a harmonica.
* CelibateHero: Woody in this movie as [[spoiler:Bo Peep is said to be one of the many characters that were either sold off at a garage sale, thrown in the trash, or donated between the second movie and this one]].
* CharacterDevelopment: Mrs. Potato Head. She went from a background character in the second movie to having a crucial role in the plot by having the ability to see through a missing eye.
* TheCharacterDiedWithHim: Everyone voiced by [[PixarRegulars Joe Ranft]].
* CharacterOutlivesActor: [[Film/ErnestPWorrell Hey Vern]]!! Slinky Dog was voiced by another actor long after [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Varney my]] death, [[CatchPhrase knowhutimean]]??
* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:Bonnie]] becomes a ChekhovsGunman, and eventually a [[spoiler:ChekhovsBoomerang.]]
** Bonnie can be seen playing with [[spoiler:The Monkey]] during the first scene showing her in the day care.
*** A second viewing of the film sees all the major characters in the first daycare scene, before they're active. Try to spot them!
** There's also [[spoiler:Mrs. Potato Head's lost eye, which proves to Andy's toys that he really didn't throw them away.]]
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Bonnie -- unlike the Caterpillar Room children at the daycare who harshly play with or deface their toys, she lovingly plays with and cares for her toys similar to how Andy did when he was younger.
** The older children at the daycare are the same way.
* ClassicallyTrainedExtra: Mr. Pricklepants, played by none other than TimothyDalton.
*** Bonnie's other toys asked Woody if he was classically trained, in regards to his "performance."
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Blue is safe (Andy's room, the Butterfly Room, the conveyor belt off switch), red is unsafe (Caterpillar Room, Lotso, incinerator), and sickly green-yellow is corrupted (the vending machine "gambling parlor", the daycare dumpster). Bonnie's color is bright "happy" green.
* ContinuityNod: A beautifully subtle one -- Woody still has the red stitches on his right arm from Andy's fixing him at the end of ''Toy Story 2''.
** Buzz is also still missing his arm readout sticker, which he peeled off during his nervous breakdown in the first movie.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: The incinerator is obviously really hot but the plastic toys remain unmelted. Considering how terrifying the scene was already, this is for the best.
* ConveyorBeltODoom: And '''HOW'''!
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Barbie's way of interrogating Ken is by ripping each of his sets of clothes until he speaks.
* CrapSaccharineWorld: Sunnyside Daycare seems like a bright, colorful heaven where there are always children to lovingly play with the toys, but actually it's a brutal dictatorship ruled by Lotso the bear. Most of the daycare's toys get subjected to rough playtimes with the toddlers rather than the loving playtimes with the older children, and any defiant toys get imprisoned in cubbies, forced to stay the night in the sandbox, interrogated, brainwashed, or thrown into the daycare's dumpster to go to the landfill.
** Also possibly a case of VileVillainSaccharineShow; Lotso is revealed to be a genuinely monstrous villain, but once he's gone the daycare centre becomes a genuinely sweet place [[spoiler:under Ken and Barbie.]]
* CreepyDoll: Big Baby.
* CuteGiant: Lotso and Big Baby are each considerably larger than the protagonists.
* CymbalBangingMonkey: When night falls on Sunnyside Daycare, he sits at the front desk, watching all the surveillance screens. If a toy tries to escape, he turns on the center's P.A. system and screeches into it while banging his cymbals. Lotso and crew are on top of the poor toy in moments.
** May be a ShoutOut to a Creator/StephenKing's The Monkey, or MerlinsShopOfMysticalWonders, the infamous film featured on ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' partially based upon it (a 1984 horror film called ''The Devil's Gift'' blatantly plagiarized King's short story was edited into MerlinsShopOfMysticalWonders). The monkey looks ''just'' like the design from the cover of Skeleton Crew, the collection that contains it.
* DanceOfRomance: When Buzz is in [[LatinLover Spanish mode]], he makes the move on Jessie with a dance. And they do it again in his normal form in the credits.
* DancePartyEnding: Stay for the credits. Set to a Spanish version of "You Got A Friend In Me." The choreography was done by DancingWithTheStars contestants.
* TheDandy: Ken
* DarkReprise: Of 'You've Got a Friend In Me' at the beginning of the film. The song ends at the line 'Our friendship will never die!' The background music stops, and we just hear 'never die' echo over and over.
* DenOfIniquity: A humorous example with the 'bad' toys hanging around in a vending machine, betting with Monopoly money and triple A batteries. They use a "Speak-And-Say" toy instead of a roulette table.
* DeusExMachina: THE CLAAAAAW! A literal example, as the DVD commentary points out.
* DiabolusExMachina: Since it's considered a DeusExMachina in both ''Toy Story 1'' and ''2'', the Pizza Planet Truck could definitely be considered this in ''Toy Story 3'', since it is responsible for transporting Lotso to Sunnyside.
* DialogueReversal: "You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful."
* [[CreatorCameo Director Cameo]]: The Jack-in-the-Box who yells "new toys!" is voiced by director Lee Unkrich.
* TheDogBitesBack: Big Baby to Lotso.
* TheDragon: Big Baby. {{Heel Face Turn}}s in the end.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: A great number of the toys have been sold, broken or lost in the time period between 2 and 3 making for a DarkerAndEdgier feel. Especially saddening is the absence of Bo Peep, Woody's love interest- when she is mentioned, Woody looks utterly miserable.
* TheDulcineaEffect: Happens to "Spanish Buzz" once he sees Jessie.
** It seems Buzz is naturally attracted to Jessie, as indicated by Brainwashed Buzz's claim that he is "immune to your... bewitching good looks."
* DumbBlonde: Barbie appears to be this at first, but later says two lines to Lotso that avert it.
-->'''Barbie:''' Authority should derive from the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consent_of_the_governed consent of the governed]], not from threat of force!\\
''(Hamm and Potato Head shrug in confusion)''
** Well, she ''was'' President once...
** She single-handedly subdued Ken, [[JustForPun tore]] a confession out of him, then got the Buzz Lightyear instruction manual from Bookworm all via improvisation.
*** Barbie is very much a CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass in this movie.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Bonnie's toys (minus Totoro and Chuckles) appeared in the [[DisneyThemeParks Toy Story Midway Mania]] ride at least a month before the movie premiered.
* EurekaMoment: When the toys are in the trash bag, Mr. Potato Head says "What's the point?" Buzz sees Rex's tail poking the bag and says "Point... point... point!" and realizes they can use Rex's tail to puncture the bag.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Big Baby regards his previous owner Daisy as his mom. You really shouldn't have broken that tag, Lotso...
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Buzz and Jessie. Well, everybody can see Buzz likes her. He even admits it twice. Too bad he is in demo and Spanish mode at the times.
* EveryoneOwnsAMac: There's an iMac at Bonnie's house. Andy owns a laptop that looks like a Titanium iBook. And his sister has an iPod nano.
** Well, Steve had shares in Disney, so...
*** Pixar even points it out that he was an important reason the original Toy Story could even get out.
** For Pixar being the only studio in the world where this trope is truly justified, they actually avert it with the computer at Sunnyside running Windows XP.
* EverythingMakesAMushroom: The "Death By Monkeys" bomb set off by "Evil Dr. Porkchop" in Andy's playtime imagination in the beginning.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Hilariously subverted with the cameo of the barrel monkeys in the opening, horrifyingly subverted with the monkey toy from Sunnyside.
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Barbie and Ken and also Stretch the octopus.
* [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench Everything Sounds Sexier in Spanish]]
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Lotso cannot fathom Ken's loyalty to Barbie or Woody and Buzz's loyalty to their friends [[spoiler:after the latter declined Lotso's offer to join the Butterfly Room without his friends.]]
* EvilCounterpart: Lotso's resentment over being replaced and his extremely possessive feelings toward his owner (if he can't have her, no one can), mirror Woody's character arc in the first movie. Like Woody, he also becomes a leader of a "family" of toys, only kept in line through threats and bullying instead of friendship and love. Whereas Woody decides he wants what's best for Andy, Lotso has grown to hate children for their constant destruction and abandonment of toys. Like Woody, he also faced the prospect of being replaced (Lotso with a replacement Lotso, Woody with Buzz), but where Woody eventually found an accord with Buzz, Lotso sank into bitterness and maliciously took his rejection out on the world around him.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Andy's toys. Sure, [[DeusExMachina they get out of it,]] but... come on, it counts.
* FaceHeelTurn: ''[[BrainwashedAndCrazy Demo]]'' Buzz. He gets better.
* FacePalm: Andy.
* FakeOutOpening
* FalseUtopia: SunnySide.
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: For a moment, it looked like saving Lotso would pay off. [[MoralEventHorizon No such luck]].
* FateWorseThanDeath: Lotso ends up crucified to the front of a dumpster truck working the landfill, implying he will be stuck that way for the rest of his existence. Even if he frees himself, he's still in that landfill with no way of getting back to 'his' daycare.
** Subverted when it comes to Chunk and the other Sunnyside toys. At first, it seems that the villain's toadies are condemned to rough-and-disgusting playtime with the toddlers as karmic justice; instead, Chunk simply tags out when he's had enough and another toy willingly leaps into the fray.
* FirstGirlWins: The first toy we see Andy playing with at the start of the first film was Woody. [[spoiler:Guess which toy is the only one Andy decides he's going to take to college with him.]]
** Subverted at the end [[spoiler:when Andy sees how much Bonnie loves Woody, he lets her keep him.]]
* FiveBadBand:
** BigBad: Lotso.
** TheDragon: Big Baby. Ken may also count.
** TheBrute: Twitch, Chunk, Sparks, and Stretch.
** TheEvilGenius: The Monkey and Bookworm.
** TheDarkChick: Ken. May also be CoDragons with Big Baby.
** SixthRanger: Demo-mode Buzz.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When we first see Lotso, he's riding in the back of a toy dump truck -- and he's seen doing this several more times in the film. Lotso later causes the toys to get trapped inside a dump truck during the climax. His ultimate fate is to be tied to the ''front'' of a dump truck for the rest of his days.
** Buzz says to one of the toys "Buzz Lightyear at your service" as a greeting. [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Guess what happens later?]]
** "Death by monkeys?"
** In the playtime scene, Buzz, Woody and Jessie being trapped and closing their eyes for the inevitable end.
** [[LawOfConservationOfDetail Stinky Pete had warned and raved that if they continued on with Andy, the toys might end up at the landfill...]] [[PropheciesAreAlwaysRight Like that'll ever happen!]]
** At the poker night, the veteran toys predict the new toys (Andy's) are headed for the "landfill", and are "toddler fodder." Obviously, the former proved correct, and you could interpret the latter as the toys eventually joining Bonnie.
* FreezeFrameBonus: The usual A113 reference is on the license plate of Andy's mom's car, a ContinuityNod from the first movie. For others, see CallBack.
* FreudianExcuse: Lotso was lost and replaced by his original owner. When Lotso discovered this, it made him believe that he hadn't been special to her and that the love between him and her hadn't been real. Thus (in his mind), ''all'' the love between kids and their toys isn't real. To him love is for suckers because for toys it eventually leads to abandonment and being thrown away.
* FurryConfusion: Buttercup talks and Bullseye doesn't? Lee Unkrich acknowledged this [[http://twitter.com/leeunkrich/status/16934244788 on his Twitter account]], saying "[[ClassicDisneyShorts Goofy]] can talk, but Pluto cannot. [[ShrugOfGod Discuss]]."
** Simple: Pluto and Bullseye are directly based on real animals (a horse and a dog). Buttercup and Goofy are a mythological creature and an anthro respectively.
*** Or maybe toys' ability to speak depends on if they could on their show. Bullseye couldn't talk on Woody's Roundup, so his toy can't talk. Buttercup, however, had no show, allowing him to talk. This would explain Totoro's silence as well.
* GeniusDitz: Aside from her various awesomeness, Barbie gives a rather verbose and sophisticated critique of dictatorships, which weirds everyone else out. People might be forgetting that there's been a few ''President'' Barbie dolls over the years, so she'd know political science topics.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** [[RefugeInAudacity Pixar sure is ballsy:]]
-->'''Hamm:''' ''(to Rex, while in cell, to distract [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Buzz]])'' Hey! What're you doing?! ''(covers his [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything cork]])'' Keep your hands off my stuff!\\
'''Rex:''' [[PrisonRape Ohhhh, come over here, Porky!]]
*** Particularly disturbing, considering it might be a sly reference to [[{{Deliverance}} another movie with Ned Beatty...]]
** After being thrown in the box:
-->'''Mr. Potato Head:''' It was cold and dark! Nothing but sand and a couple of Lincoln Logs.\\
'''Hamm:''' Ehh, I don't think those were Lincoln Logs..
** When Woody meets Bonnie's toys:
-->'''Dolly:''' ''(after Woody tells her his name)'' You ''sure'' you wanna stick with that?
** Barbie says ''this'' to Ken:
-->Nice '''as'''cot.
** "Have fun at college, Woody!" "Yeah, but not ''too much'' fun!"
** Apparently Chatter Telephone was tortured.
** "[[HaveIMentionedThatIAmHeterosexualToday I'm not a girls' toy! I'm not!]]"
* AGodAmI: In the first movie the aliens all worshiped the claw. By the third movie, they control the claw. And have become their own god, which is only fitting. See DeusExMachina below.
* {{Golem}}: Chunk.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Ken wears boxers with little hearts on them.
* GoshDangItToHeck: "What the heck?"
* GratuitousSpanish: Buzz, after a partially failed reset attempt puts him into Spanish mode.
* GrayRainOfDepression: The moment Lotso discovers Daisy has replaced him it starts to rain.
* GreatEscape: The entire plot.
** The movie (not counting the credits) is about 90 minutes long. The escape scene itself takes up ''30 minutes''.
** One of the posters for the movie included the tag line, "The Break-Out Comedy of the Year".
** In Italy, its subtitle is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "The Great Escape".]]
* GreenEyedMonster: Spanish-mode Buzz, after seeing Jessie hug Woody, becomes pretty jealous of him, and tries (successfully) to one-up him later.
** Immediately followed by a great aversion. Having been so thoroughly upstaged, Woody cheers on his buddy's awesome stunt, showing [[CharacterDevelopment just how far he's come]] from the jealously insecure toy of the first movie.
* GretzkyHasTheBall: I don't care how many spaces you have, that is not how you play roulette. Players bet against the house, not each other.
** Who says they're playing roulette?
* GrumpyBear: Taken to the '''extreme''' with Lotso, although he hides it behind a pleasant facade.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy[=/=]TalkingYourWayOut: Barbie and Ken prove the need for the EvilOverlordList's warning to never have captives of one sex guarded by members of the opposite sex.
** That rule and this trope are averted by Demo Mode Buzz, who, though placed in charge of guarding Jessie, refuses to listen to her pleas of "Buzz, we're your friends" and tells her that he will not be swayed by her "bewitching good looks."
** Then again, Demo Mode Buzz does fall for Hamm and Rex's "let's stage a fight so we can distract the guard" ploy, so maybe he isn't the sharpest knife in the... [[BuffySpeak place where... they keep the knives.]]
* HannibalLecture: Lotso gives one in the middle of a VillainousBreakdown. It comes with a ShutUpHannibal.
* HappilyMarried: Barbie and Ken after they make up to each other and Lotso is gone from the Daycare. They become the new rulers of a much happier Sunnyside Daycare since Barbie [[GeniusDitz objects to dictatorships and prefers democracy]] and Ken believes [[TotallyRadical "everyone is groovy."]] They even adopt Big Baby as their "child"!
* HeelFaceTurn[=/=]LoveRedeems: Ken. And Big Baby.
** Lotso subverts it; while he pleads for help and plays nice while the heat is on, at the decisive moment [[DirtyCoward he abandons his saviors and escapes]].
** In a very, very abstract sense, the Claw. In the first film, since it was Sid who was controlling it, the Claw seemed much more menacing as it brought both Woody and Buzz to the danger zone, being Sid's House. However, in ''Toy Story 3'' since it's the aliens who are controlling it, it actually saves the toys from danger, being the incinerator.
* [[SheIsAllGrownUp He Is All Grown Up]]: Andy
** Also in his cameo, Sid.
* HeldGaze: One happens between Buzz and Woody after Woody is climbing back up through the trash and sees the others holding each other to give one another strength. Buzz meets his eyes and then extends his hand and then they hold the scene for a moment before Woody reaches out to grasp Buzz's hand and join the others.
* HeroicBSOD: "What do you mean, ''escape''?"
* HeyWait: When {{Barbie}} masquerades as [[TheDandy Ken]] (in his face-obscuring "Mission to Mars" spacesuit) to get back Buzz's instruction manual, the Bookworm notices her high heels as she turns away... then rolls his eyes and sighs at "[[CampStraight Ken's]]" effeminate fashion sense.
* HiddenDepths: {{Barbie}}, she has them. Yes, [[http://frankwarner.typepad.com/free_frank_warner/2010/06/toy-story-3-barbies-words-on-the-consent-of-the-governed.html this]] {{Barbie}}.
* HoldMe: Done wordlessly as the toys all slowly fall toward certain doom. In the face of annihilation, they don't scream or shout, they just hold each other.
* HopeSpot: The toys are on the ConveyorBeltOfDoom, when Rex spots a light in the tunnel.
-->'''Woody:''' ''"[[LightIsNotGood I don't think that's daylight]]..."''
** And it all goes downhill from here.
* HotMom: Andy's mom, who even though it's almost a decade later looks better than she did in the previous two movies!
* HumansAreCthulhu: The kids on Caterpillar Room. Or did everyone miss one of them trying to swallow Buzz, while the others treated the rest just like the EldritchAbomination[=s=] in Lovecraft's stories treat humanity?! The only thing needed to turn ''Toy Story 3'' into Lovecraft-Kids Version was them [[GoMadFromTheRevelation going mad from the revelation]]. Cue to [[spoiler:Lotso resetting Buzz to his first film persona and making him his puppet.]]
* HypocriticalHumor: Chunk's remark that Buzz "ain't the sharpest knife in the... [[BuffySpeak place where... they keep the knives.]]"
** One of the other toys immediately calls him out on this. "Neither are you."
** Taken UpToEleven when Hamm is playing Lotso's Theme while he's in jail with the others, when Buzz tells him to be quiet.
* IfICantHaveYou: Woody says this almost word-for-word as a ShutUpHannibal to Lotso:
-->'''Lotso:''' She replaced us!\\
'''Woody:''' She replaced ''you''! And if you couldn't have her, no one could!
* ImplicitPrison: Sunnyside Daycare, in that toys donated there are locked up, required to stay, and security is tight to deter inmates from escaping.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Andy and Bonnie.
* InvoluntaryDance: Jessie pulls this on Buzz in the credits.
* IronicHell: "Face it, we're just trash", Lotso says at one point -- and his ultimate fate is to spend his remaining days tied to the grill of a garbage truck.
* [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY It Is Pronounced Yid-NAY]].
* ItsAllJunk: Arguably, Andy putting his toys in the attic.
* IWantGrandkids: Keeping with the toys-as-parents metaphor, Woody is initially optimistic about waiting in the attic until "someday, if we're lucky, Andy may have kids of his own."
* JumpScare: Woody causes a particularly traumatizing one when he tries to swing over behind the monkey.
** It may seem like the monkey's OhCrap moment.
** Regardless, given ''everything else'' that happens in the movie, this is the one scene where you're bound to hear the kids in the audience start crying.
* KickTheDog: [[EvenEvilHasStandards Lotso's henchmen are shocked when he shoves Big Baby in the stomach during his]] MotiveRant.
* KubrickStare: In the commentary, Lee Unkrich describes using this expression for Buzz while in [[BrainwashedAndCrazy demo mode]] to indicate that this particular trip to Delusion-ville would have a darker turn.
* LatinLover: Buzz Lightyear's Spanish mode.
** Which is kind of funny for Spanish-speakers because he's speaking it with a heavy Spanish (i.e. from Spain) accent.
*** In the Spanish (from Spain) dubbing, he speaks with a heavy Andalusian accent.
* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: After the toys are locked in jail, the [[CaptivityHarmonica harmonica in the background]] turns out to be Hamm playing.
* LightIsNotGood: Oh look, a light at the end of the tunnel at the dumping site. Oh, wait, it's {{Hellfire}}!
* LivingEmotionalCrutch Daisy might have been this to [[BigBad Lotso]], seeing how [[IfICantHaveYou badly]] [[LoveMakesYouEvil he]] [[DisproportionateRetribution handled]] being replaced by her.
* TheLoad: One could interpret the [=LGMs=] in this role, as they exist either as superlatives or hindrances to the toys escaping from Sunnyside. From almost alerting [[TheDragon Big Baby]] to getting stuck in the dumpster and (indirectly) causing the toys to get sent to the dump, they're neglected characters until they become BigDamnHeroes in their SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfAwesome.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: A poster for [=TS3=] as well as the ''Toy Story'' website (character profiles) shows this.
* LostInTranslation: Nice asssss...cot.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Ken and Barbie, Spanish Buzz with regard to Jessie.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Lotso's backstory.
* LoveRedeems: Played with for Buzz, Buzz rejoins the team because of being physically reset by Rex. However, Kens love for Barbie was key to getting the instruction manual. Buzz did eventually get back to his regular self through his love for Jessie, the television hit Buzz, giving him reverse amnesia, because he was more worried about Jessie's safety than his own.
* MaddenIntoMisanthropy: Lotso.
* ManlyTears: You must have a heart of steel NOT to cry leaving the movie theater.
* MataHari: Barbie
* MelancholyMoon: Both Big Baby and Chuckles gaze sadly at the moon. Fitting considering they both lost the same owner.
* TheMentor: Dolly of Bonnie's toys.
* MissingTrailerScene: Compared to the Oct. 2009 trailer, a few lines were re-spoken in the final film, and Spanish Buzz doesn't spin around and jump immediately after pressing a button to make his voice box say a line. A few shots were done in different angles as well.
* MoodWhiplash: Perhaps the first ''Toy Story 3'' trailer uses this. It starts out sentimental, the middle is semi-serious, and then it ends [[RuleOfFunny with humor]].
** In a trailer, how a very heartfelt scene where Andy is praising [[TheHero Woody]] is suddenly cut short with [[TheHero Woody]] hearing a threatening voice from a telephone.
** In the movie, the toys have joined hands, accepting that they are about to die a terrible, painful death, burning (or melting?) alive in a fiery pit of- ahahahaha, THE CLAW! WOOOO!
** This scene really takes the cake for [[MoodWhiplash this trope]]: Any time where a scene from Bonnie's playtime is interspersed from scenes with the daycare. Examples: The Toys being utterly destroyed while Woody is having a nice tea time with Bonnie; Bonnie asleep and Woody looks up Andy's address while Buzz is being brutally {{deprogram}}med by Lotso. Jeez, are we supposed to be heartfelt or seriously freaked out?
** Happens unintentionally when Woody meets Chuckles. The mood was serious and sombre (Woody finding out his friends are living in a nightmare), and then the audience saw this morose little clown sitting on the windowsill and everybody cracked up.
** The ending is kind of like this. It's very much a BitterSweetEnding, followed by a breather in the thankfully very cheerful closing credits.
* MotiveRant: [[BigBad Lotso]] gets one just before he throws the toys into the dumpster.
* MurderByCremation
* MusicalNod: During the scene leading up to the incinerator, one of the themes from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' is heard.
* MusicalSpoiler: ''And as the years go by / [[IronicEcho Our friendship will never die...]]''
** Although at the point where that line is emphasized (The end of the prologue) it seems more like a tragic irony, contrasting youthful idealism with the onset of adulthood, one of the film's main themes.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: The toys of Sunnyside Daycare, which said toys treat as a kind of concentration camp.
* NeverTrustATrailer: Most of the trailers and TV spots heavily imply that Buzz gets broken while trying to escape from hitting a window or wall too hard. Never happened. That was a shot of him getting used as a hammer on a wooden hammer-peg playset thrown WAY out of context.
** A trailer implied that the telephone toy was one of the baddies. And the whole Andy's toy fantasy at the beginning of the flick looked like it would be the climax of the flick.
** One of the trailers, in fact, shows Buzz '''attacking''' the bridge followed by Woody and the train falling into the canyon. Coupled with Rex emerging from the ground and Woody being pursued by plastic monkeys (both present in most trailers), it looks like Woody's having a nightmare where every other toy is trying to kill him.
* NietzscheWannabe: Lotso comes off as a bit of one when saying how toys "are all just trash" in his MotiveRant.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Again, hello, '''''[[CymbalBangingMonkey MONKEY.]]'''''
* [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Ninja Pirate Train Robber]]: Mrs. Potato Head
* NonIronicClown: Chuckles the clown doll, who shared the same former owner as Lotso Bear and Big Baby, turns out to be the only one of the three toys not to turn villainous from the incident of being accidentally abandoned by their former owner. In a flashback he even tries to console Lotso Bear, but Lotso bear ignores him and [[StartofDarkness turns]] [[FaceHeelTurn evil]]. In the present, Chuckles is a StoicWoobie despite being one of Bonnie's beloved toys. But by the end credits, he [[DefrostingIceQueen begins to smile again.]]
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: The toys have a lot of variety in their looks, but Ken and Barbie are noticably less cartoonish than most of them.
* NotSoDifferent: Lotso's devotion to Daisy and his determination to get himself, Big Baby, and Chuckles back to her (as revealed in the flashback) is certainly reminiscent of Woody's love for Andy and his determination to get back home in all three movies. Additionally, Lotso at the beginning comes off as a benevolent ruler of Sunnyside much in the way that Woody is the leader of all of Andy's toys. Lotso is Woody gone bad. Not stated directly in the movie but Lee Unkrich points this out in the DVD commentary.
* TheOldConvict: Chatter Telephone has been at Sunnyside Daycare Center even before Lotso Bear took it over. To help Woody and his friends escape the daycare center, Chatter Telephone detailedly describes the layout of the daycare center and warns Woody that the only way for a toy to escape is to neutralize the Cymbal Monkey's surveillance system.
* OscarBait: Pixar has decided to aim for a Best Picture nom, which includes running an ad campaign that make {{homage}}s to previous winners e.g. Lotso as Film/TheGodfather and Woody as ForrestGump.
* TheOtherDarrin: Slinky Dog, who was voiced by the late Jim "Ernest" Varney in the first two films, is voiced by Blake Clark (a friend of his, who was also Shawn's father in ''BoyMeetsWorld'') in ''Toy Story 3'' due to AuthorExistenceFailure.
** In the game, Buzz and Woody are both voiced by Jim Hanks and Stephen Stanton, respectively. Wheezy and Stinky Pete also makes an appearance, but are instead voiced by CharlieAdler and James Patrick Stuart, although the former is also due to AuthorExistenceFailure.
* OurHeroIsDead: Woody loses his hat during his escape, which is taken to the trapped toys as a threat. Jessie and Bullseye have a split-second tear-jerking moment.
* OutdatedOutfit: Ken has a roomfull of them, dating from the late 50s to the early 80s.
* PalantirPloy: Let's just say [[{{Smallville}} Lex Luthor]] should have hired whoever installed Sunnyside Daycare's surveillance system.
* PanUpToTheSkyEnding: An epic storybook ending, really.
* PercussiveMaintenance: It takes a TV falling on top of Buzz to get him returned to his normal self.
** Also counts as EasyAmnesia.
* PerspectiveReversal: Earlier on, Woody and Buzz try to encourage the rest of the toys to get ready to go into the attic. Towards the end of the movie, Woody is more skeptical of the attic idea, while the rest of the toys are more open to it; though Buzz's attitude seems relatively unchanged. [[spoiler:As things turn out, none of them end up in the attic anyway.]]
* ThePowerOfLove: The scene where as seen above where [[LatinLover Spanish]] [[DashingHispanic Buzz]] was saving Jessie from the garbage, and gets hit with the tv and comes back to being normal Buzz by Jessie pulling him to the side of the truck crying in his [[PleaseDontLeaveMe chest]].
* PrisonEpisode: ''Toy Story 3'' itself, or at least a significant portion of it, arguably counts what with [[spoiler:Sunnyside]] being portrayed as essentially a prison. Bonus points for the [[CerebusSyndrome shock]] [[DarkerAndEdgier value]] of having a prison episode in a G-rated {{Pixar}} series.
* PunchClockVillain: Lotso's minions are mainly following his orders because they're scared of him. Once Lotso is deposed from Sunnyside, they perform a mass HeelFaceTurn.
* PunishmentBox: the sandbox at Sunnyside. Modeled after the box in ''CoolHandLuke''.
* PutOnABus: It's established that Bo Peep, Wheezy, Lenny, RC, and many of Andy's other childhood toys have been sold or given away. This is an interesting variation of the trope in that it would be very hard for any of them to ever come back.
* RecordNeedleScratch: Ken and Barbie are just meeting each other. "Dream Weaver" is playing, and then Lotso comes in ''[insert scratch]'' and says "Come on, Ken. Recess don't last forever."
* ResetButton: Woody and the gang make it back to Andy's house with no toy left behind.
** Played figuratively ''and'' literally with Buzz Lightyear, even though it's a falling television rather than his reset button that restores his memory.
* RomanticFalseLead: Spanish Buzz briefly viewed ''Woody'' as this when he sees Jessie hugging him.
* SadClown: Chuckles.
* SadisticChoice: In the opening with Sheriff Woody and One-Eyed Bart (Mr. Potato Head.) One-Eyed Bart sets off some dynamite. "It's me or the kiddies, sheriff. Take your pick."
* SaveTheVillain: Yeah, it doesn't go over too well.
** Still deserves a Moment of Awesome, since both Woody and Buzz risk their lives in the process.
* ScaryLibrarian: Bookworm
* SceneryGorn: The dump, the conveyor belt and finally the incinerator.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The last three Army Men (including Sarge) leave Andy's room in a hurry, knowing their fate will inevitably be the garbage.
* ShooOutTheClowns: The Little Green Men being taken out (and apparently killed) early in the dump sequence. When they return, they [[BigDamnHeroes save the day]] and things get much lighter and fluffier.
** Also done with Barbie, when Ken keeps her from joining the others on the garbage truck.
* ShoutOut: Bonnie has a [[MyNeighborTotoro Totoro doll]].
** Bonnie wearing a tutu at the end, might be a shout out to the original Brave Little Toaster where the appliances are adopted by a Ballerina at the end of the story.
** The bee on Bonnie's backpack is Wally B. from the ''very'' first Pixar short, "The Adventures of Andre and Wally B."
** The scene where brainwashed and re-programmed Buzz is bossing around all the toys being held captive at Sunnyside Daycare is a clear reference to CoolHandLuke. The film has a scene where any infraction (losing a spoon, wearing dirty pants, messing up laundry cycle) is punished with "A night in the box." The toys meet the same fate, except in this case "the box" is filled with sand. Befitting for a GreatEscape movie.
** When Big Baby threw Lotso into the dumpster was anyone ''not'' reminded of [[ReturnOfTheJedi Darth Vader killing Palpatine]]?
*** Big Baby might also be a shout out to the baby from "Tin Toy"... scary movements and all!
** Woody being dragged into the dumpster by Lotso is a shout-out to Hudson's death in ''{{Aliens}}''.
** Much of the film takes its inspiration from ''TheBraveLittleToaster'', which had many future Pixar employees working on it, including John Lasseter, Joe Ranft, and others. It even had the usual A113 moniker in it.
** '''Mr. Potato Head:''' [[ScoobyDoo "And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for]] [[YouMeddlingKids you meddling toys!"]]
** The CymbalBangingMonkey, is based off of the Creator/StephenKing story "The Monkey".
*** And remember to believe in magic... [[MST3K or he'll kill you]]...
** Barbie and Ken's outfits during the dance sequence at the end is a reference to SaturdayNightFever.
** When Mr. Potato Head was first invented, he was, indeed, just a set of eyeballs and hands and things that kids could stick into real vegetables. The company introduced the plastic potato a few decades later when parents became worried that the poles needed to stick into a real potato were too pointy and sharp.
** Lotso Huggin' Bear himself is a ShoutOut. Between the name, nature, appearance, and the Viral Commercial for the toy, he's obviously meant to be one of the CareBears gone horribly, horribly wrong.
*** And he's paraphrasing a quote from ''TheBridgeOnTheRiverKwai''.
*** In the "Art Of Toy Story 3" book he's ''clearly'' a Care Bear, baby face and eyelashes and all, which makes his grim, rain-soaked StartOfDarkness look more disturbing.
** '''''MissionImpossible!'''''
** In the opening scene, when Woody and Mrs. Potato Head are fighting atop a moving train, Woody lands with his heels over the edge of the end of the train, tries to regain his balance but falls backwards, and then lands safely on his horse ridden by his female friend. Replace "train" with "truck", "horse" with "car" and "Mrs. Potato Head" with "Agent", and you get what happened to Morpheus in The Matrix Reloaded.
** Also from the opening sequence, Rex's roar is taken straight out of ''JurassicPark''.
* ShownTheirWork: ''All'' of Ken's outfits are actual outfits released for the doll over the years.
** For the record, Ken himself isn't based on the infamous [[HoYay Earring Magic Ken]]. He's an [[UnfortunateImplications Animal-Loving]] Ken...
** Buzz and Jessie's paso doble over the end credits was choreographed by ''DancingWithTheStars'' veterans Tony Dovolani and Cheryl Burke.
* ShrinkingViolet: Bonnie. Her toys and later Andy are the only people she opens up to.
* ShutUpHannibal: Woody gives Lotso pointing out how he's motivated partially by selfishness.
* SickeninglySweethearts: Ken and Barbie ("I..." "...love..." "...you!" "See? That time ''I'' said love!")
* SilenceYouFool: Demo Mode Buzz says this to Jessie when he captured the toys.
* SmarterThanYouLook: The Squeeze Toy Aliens. For all their times yelling "Ooohh!!!" and "The Claw" it turns out they are actually fairly intelligent. Not only can they learn how to operate heavy machinery within a matter of minutes, find and locate a small group of toys within a trash compound, but they actually do know that the "Claw" has to be manually controlled and is not self-choosing.
** Also Barbie -- political philosophy out of nowhere!
*** Well, [[http://www.trojanhorseantiques.com/President2000Barbie.jpg not completely out of nowhere...]]
* SoLongSuckers: Lotso pulls this on Woody and the others when he leaves them for dead at the incinerator and shouts, [[spoiler:"Where's your kid now, Sheriff?!"]]
* SplitPersonality: Buzz's [[LatinLover "Spanish]] [[DashingHispanic Mode"]], activated by pressing a reset button hidden in his back [[NeverTrustATrailer for more than five seconds]], could be an example of this.
* StartOfDarkness: Chuckles the Clown's flashback segment outlines exactly why Lotso turns out to be the cruel despot of Sunnyside.
* StealthPun: MR. PITA head anyone?
** The preschooler believed to be [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Boo]] is playing with a blue "Kitty."
** The aliens rescue the toys from the incinerator with the crane, an example of a DeusExMachina. The actual term means "god out of a machine", and the aliens believe "the Claw" to be their god.
* StepfordSmiler: Lotso bear turns out to be Type C, as he is the film's villain.
** Chatter Telephone. His "mouth" sticker is in a constant smile, despite the fact that he is shown to be a very depressed toy.
*** '''That's''' what was so different about him in that scene! Part of what the toys did to make him talk was ripping off his mouth sticker!
* TheStoolPigeon: Chatter Telephone is of the Lacerated Larry type: he truly did want Andy's toys to escape. Lotso and his mob just ruthlessly beat the information out of him.
* SuddenlyShouting: "He was putting you IN THE ATTIC!"
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Brainwashed Buzz is immune to Jessie's "bewitching good looks."
* [[TeamMom Team]] [[TeamDad Parents]]: {{Barbie}} and Ken to the toys of Sunnyside in the epilogue.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Subverted by Buttercup, who by all appearances should be female, but Jeff Garlin's voice is about as masculine as you can get.
* ThirdIs3D
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: A nonverbal instance of this, started when the toys in the Caterpillar Room hide when recess ends, but cemented when Buzz flips his helmet up as the kids burst into the room.
* ThisIsNoTimeToPanic: Could also be seen as a CallBack to the first film.
-->'''Buzz:''' Hold on. This is no time to be hysterical.\\
'''Mr. Potato Head:''' This is the perfect time to be hysterical.\\
'''Rex:''' ''(hysterically)'' Should we be HYSTERICAL?!?\\
'''[[TheOtherDarrin Slinky]]:''' No!\\
'''Mr. Potato Head:''' Yes!\\
'''Buzz:''' Maybe! But not right now!
* ThreeAmigos: Woody, Jessie and Buzz in young Andy's playtime imagination.
-->'''Spanish Buzz:''' ¿Que vá alli? ¿AMIGOS? ¿O ENEMIGOS?\\
'''Woody:''' Uh, Amigos! We're all amigos!
* TimeSkip: Essentially. None of the movies are sequential but Andy is still a boy in ''Toy Story 2'' (maybe an early "tween", but that's it) and a young man about to depart for college in the third. Meant to reflect the long distance of time between ''3'' and its predecessors.
* TogetherInDeath: Expected in-universe but narrowly averted.
** "The most important thing is that we stick together. No matter what happens, we stick together."
* TooDumbToLive: The LGMs are dumped in a landfill and the first thing they do is run towards what looks like the claw. Immediately they get swept up with the garbage. [[spoiler:Then subverted when they turn up later in the incinerator scene, none the worse for wear]].
* TownWithADarkSecret: Sunnyside is a Daycare Center with a Dark Secret (the Caterpillar room).
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: If [[spoiler:Buzz's Spanish mode]] really ''was'' supposed to be a comedic twist, it was sure spoiled well ahead of time in ''many'' of the previews.
** One TV spot even showed a clip of the epilogue, loosely spoiling [[spoiler:the fact that the toys (or at least Buzz and Jessie) don't die in the incinerator]]. That scene of [[spoiler:their brief dance together during the escape sequence]], instead, likely would've worked just fine.
** On the Disney channel's trailer for the premier of the movie on their channel they show [[spoiler:Lotso being evil by removing Mrs. Potato's mouth.]]
* TranslatedCoverVersion: The movie ends with the Gipsy Kings performing a Spanish-language cover of "You've Got a Friend in Me".
* TrueCompanions: If the scene in the incinerator where Andy's toys hold hands to be together in their final moments isn't a great demonstration of this, then what is?
** Earlier in the film Buzz refuses to [[WeCanRuleTogether join Lotso]] and the older toys in the more pleasant Butterfly Room if the rest of his friends can't join him... though, less heartwarmingly, Lotso and the other toys just [[TakeAThirdOption pop open Buzz's battery case and reset him]] instead.
*** Buzz even says that he and the rest of Andy's toys are "a family."
** And at the end of the film Woody decides not to go to college with Andy; he decides to join his friends with Bonnie as their new owner instead.
* UndersideRide
* UngratefulBastard: Lotso.
* [[UsedToBeASweetKid Used to Be a Sweet Toy]]: Lotso, according to Chuckles.
* VillainousBreakdown: Lotso is cheerfully calm until Woody mentions [[spoiler:Daisy, Lotso's previous owner]]. After that, he slowly becomes less charming and more furious, to the point where he rants that children and toys are incapable of loving each other, until he goes too far and pushes [[spoiler:Big Baby]]'s BerserkButton.
* ViralMarketing: There was a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6dZtNYGlLM Lotso toy]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5ZwkcHCVkE in the 80s]]?
*** For more viral effectiveness on the marketing's part, take a look at the videos of the English commercial's uploader.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXqfS5l27ug The]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBJ57Q5AhQY three]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Kzub7YXQM ads]] they made aimed at college-age kids.
** ''Ken's Dating Tips!''
* TheVoiceless: Totoro can make growls and roaring sounds in his original appearance, but he's completely silent in this movie.
* WeCanRuleTogether: To Buzz and, to a lesser extent, {{Barbie}}.
** To their credit, the bad guys make an effort to be [[BitchInSheepsClothing as nice as possible while doing this]]. You don't even realize that Lotso is a villain until Buzz rejects his offer.
* WhamLine: When Slink reveals that [[spoiler:all the other toys are gone.]]
** Two more in rapid succession: [[OhCrap "I don't think that's daylight..."]] and [[spoiler:"Where's your kid now, Sheriff?!"]]
*** Earlier: [[spoiler:"Ah, a family man, I understand. Put him back in the timeout chair."]]
* WhipItGood: Woody in the intro.
* WimpFight: Between Hamm and Rex during the escape plan. Understandable since only one of them actually has arms.
* WomenPreferStrongMen: Played for laughs [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prefermuscle_2893.jpg when Mrs. Potato head meets Twitch]].
* YouWouldntBelieveMeIfIToldYou: When Mr. Potato Head walks up to the group with a cucumber for a body.
