Andy is seventeen now, boxing up his childhood for college, and the toys in his room have not been played with in years.

Tom Hanks and Tim Allen return, and the film treats a child's outgrown toys with startling seriousness.

A few thoughts on Toy Story 3
A fan of Pixar's craft should read The Pixar Touch, David Price's account of how the studio bet everything on computers and story. To see Woody and Buzz turn up in a wildly different world, Kingdom Hearts III builds a full playable level inside Andy's toys. Both extend the feeling past the credits.
Growing out of your toys, and everyone left behind
Andy leaves for college, and Toy Story 3 spends its runtime on what a grown kid owes the toys that raised him. Inside Out 2 puts that same adolescent upheaval inside Riley's head, Monsters University follows Mike and Sulley through the growing pains of finding out who they'll become, and Leo watches a class pet face losing this year's kids to time, the way every year loses Andy's toys too.
The real animators behind Pixar's growing pains
Toy Story 3 closes a trilogy Pixar spent fifteen years animating frame by frame, and this shelf gets into how that work happens. The Illusion of Life is the textbook the studio's animators grew up on, The Pixar Touch tracks the company from a broke computer division to the studio that made this trilogy, and The Animator's Survival Kit breaks down the timing and weight that makes Woody's face readable.
