After escaping the garbage truck, the toys think they'll be better off donating themselves to a nearby daycare where kids will play with them everyday. Of course, after a little mix up, the bag of toys is mistaken for garbage. They all know one thing for certain, they don't want to end up as trash. When Andy's mother tells him to gather up his stuff and either put it in the attic for storage or in garbage bags for the dump, the gang prepare to take up residence in the attic. They know what they're doing.Īndy is heading off to college, and Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang face the very real possibility of being neglected for the rest of their lives. Are the old characters we've grown to love going to be given enough screen time? Are the new characters that will inevitably be introduced going to overshadow everyone else? Will the story seem watered down since we've already been to the well a couple of times before? These are all legitimate fears, but I should have had faith in Pixar. There's always apprehension involved when sequels are concerned. Hearing they were now returning to the 'Toy Story' franchise was a bit disappointing.

They've spoiled us for years with their amazing, heartfelt storytelling. Like Roger Ebert said, they're the only movie studio that also has celebrity status. Pixar has built itself up into the most famous and recognizable production house in the US. So naturally, when I head that Pixar would be doing another ' Toy Story' movie, I became very apprehensive. Still, Pixar decided to go with original story after original story, giving us movies populated with lovable characters and overwhelming heart. This was an even more amazing feat when you realize every one of their movies, from ' Monsters Inc.' to ' The Incredibles' could have spawned a franchise, with numerous sequels generating endless box office and merchandising dollars.

Up until now, aside from ' Toy Story 2,' Pixar had stayed away from sequels.
