History YMMV / ToyStory3

* AreYouSureThisIsForKids: The movie is marketed not only to kids, but also to teenagers who saw the first two movies as kids.
* '''AngstAversion''': This movie is notorious for being ''very'' hard to watch.

* EvenBetterSequel: This movie appealed to the few teenagers and adults that didn't like the first two movies; it took the ParentalBonus of the first two movies UpToEleven.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Lots-O-Huggin' Bear]]. He allows the toys to be tortured by the too-young toddlers in the Caterpillar room, and will do anything just to keep his reign. Here's just a short list of his atrocities: lying to Big Baby and Chuckles just so he wouldn't be alone in being lost, ordering the resetting of Buzz Lightyear, watching him beat down his former friends with a cold sense of satisfaction, beating Chatter Telephone to a pulp in order to find out about Woody's escape plan, and, in the climax of the film, [[MoralEventHorizon he leaves Andy's toys to burn in the Incinerator after they risked their lives to save him]], and he does so with a sadistic smile, a mocking salute and while yelling out "Where's your kid now, sheriff?". And while he does have a tragic backstory, there's a scene where Woody point blank calls him out on how weak it is (his owner replacing him with a new Lotso was, considering she doesn't know toys are alive, a sign of how she loved Lotso; Woody says that it was Lotso who abandoned her). What makes it worse is there was almost no warning that Lotso was going to be the villain going into the movie. Sid and Stinky Pete to a degree had a glimpse of their villainy in previews but Lotso was promoted as a grandfatherly figure in trailers and commercials. And finally, he is the only villain in the franchise that never sought redemption, in fact, he only faked gratitude when Woody saved him, and ultimately he has gone down in the Pixar history as the most vicious villain that the company has created.

** The problem with this is that the whole POINT is that Ken *shouldn't* be ostracized for his "girliness"; part of his character arc is accepting that part of himself. Once he does that, the other toys (especially once they're free from Lotso's grip) accept him more readily.

* BigLippedAligatorMoment: A lot of them are in this movie:
** Barbie and Ken's first meeting.
** The poker game with the See and Say.
** Woody's bathroom escape, with him being seen by a janitor, who thought the image of Woody in the mirror was just a stain.
** The "Who's Velocistar237?" scene.
** Ken's fashion show.
** Mr. Tortilla Head.
** Spanish Buzz.
** [[spoiler: After Buzz was reset back to normal in the landfill, he says this:]] (sniffs) "[[ToiletHumor That wasn't me, was it?]]"
** Believe it or not, [[spoiler: the incinerator scene.]]
** [[spoiler: Lotso getting strapped on to a garbage truck.]]

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Lotso]]. Back-story aside, As the movie progresses he goes beyond being a simple {{Jerkass}} and torturer. At first he seems AffablyEvil, but then becomes FauxAffablyEvil when he gets several KickTheDog moments: creating evil Buzz Lightyear and abusing Big Baby. He finally unquestioningly becomes [[MoralEventHorizon Irredeemable]] in the climax where he [[spoiler: betrays Woody and condemns him and his friends to a fiery death]] ''right after Woody saved him''.
** To put it in perspective, Sid ended up an alright human being as a result of the scare the toys gave him, and [[MoodSwinger Stinky Pete]] got a human owner, which wasn't all that bad. [[spoiler:[[BigBad Lotso]] ended up with a FateWorseThanDeath. He's such a CompleteMonster, he's the sole villain to get a horrible fate]].

* ''[[ToughActToFollow Really]]'' ToughActToFollow: Why most fans feel there should be no more sequels after Toy Story 3. This arguably affected the reception of ''{{WesternAnimation/Cars}} 2'' and ''{{WesternAnimation/Brave}}''.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Lotso]]. Back-story aside, As the movie progresses he goes beyond being a simple JerkAss and torturer. At first he seems AffablyEvil, but then becomes FauxAffablyEvil when he gets several KickTheDog moments: creating evil Buzz Lightyear and abusing Big Baby. He finally unquestioningly becomes [[MoralEventHorizon Irredeemable]] in the climax where he [[spoiler: betrays Woody and condemns him and his friends to a fiery death]] ''right after Woody saved him''.

** [[spoiler: Lotso]] never made it out...

* IKnewIt: Before the release of the third film, some fans have correctly guess that Lotso would be the main villain.

** Most of the theories posted here originally can now be found in the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WMG/ToyStory Wild Mass Guessing/Toy Story page]]

* MoralEventHorizon: In ''ToyStory 3'', Lotso had already established himself as a [[KickTheDog dog-kicking]] machine as he tortures and {{Mind Rape}}s the toys during the movie, but irrevocably crosses the horizon when he [[spoiler:pretends to try to turn off the ConveyorBeltOfDoom leading to the incinerator, then leaves the other toys to their deaths with the remark "where's your kid now, sheriff?", complete with a mocking salute and evil smile. This after he pretended to be redeemed and after Woody and Buzz had just ''risked their lives to save him.'' So much for [[RousseauWasRight Rousseau being right this time]], as is usually the case for Pixar.]]

** The CrowningMomentOfAwesome that is the opening of the third film.

* WhatAnIdiot: The toys themselves at the dump should've known better than to [[spoiler:rescue Lotso and asks for him to help turn off the conveyor belt.]]

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Lotso]]. While it has a tragic backstory, along the movie goes beyond a simple JerkAss and a torturer. While at first seems AffablyEvil, then [[FauxAffablyEvil is subverted]] when he gets several KickTheDog moments: getting evil Buzz Lightyear and his cruel treatment with Big Baby. And to make matters worse, crosses the MoralEventHorizon in the climax, after Woody saved it.

** To put it in perspective, Sid ended up an alright human being as a result of the scare the toys gave him, and [[MoodSwinger Stinky Pete]] got a human owner, which wasn't all that bad. [[spoiler:[[BigBad Lotso]]]] ended up with a FateWorseThanDeath. He's such a CompleteMonster, he's the sole villain to get a horrible fate.
