With their beloved Andy preparing to leave for college, Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), Jessie (Joan Cusack) and the rest of the toys find themselves dumped in day care. Unfortunately, the uncontrollable urchins do not play nice, so Woody and the gang make plans for a great escape.

“Toy Story 3  movie was awesome, as an adult I enjoyed it and so did my two kids ages 3 and 10. I believe that the movie had a relevant  story line with Andy going off to college. What will happen to those toys? The way in which the movie ended also can lead into Toy Story 4,5, etc. Great JOB Disney.” According to Lisa B. who attend the screening.
