Toy Story 3 is a 3-D animated comedy adventure-drama movie that came out in 2010. It is the third addition to the Toy Story franchise, produced by Pixar Animation Studios. The first two films focused on the relationship between a boy and his toys, while the third movie shows the future of those toys once the boy grows up.
The Toy Story series is a very successful, award-winning league which has left a mark on children throughout the world. Toys are a part of every childhood, and personifying them was one of the cleverest things to think of. Children easily relate to fantasy things, and the emotional connection with their toys effortlessly attaches them to the Toy Story concept.

When Andy plans to leave for college, his mother asks him to clear out his room. Andy wraps up his toys, thinking he has outgrown them but decides to take Woody with him to college. However, they are accidentally mixed up with the trash and thrown on the curb. The toys somehow hop into the car and are dropped at the local daycare along with other things. They feel abandoned and convince themselves that the children in the daycare would be happier to play with them since Andy doesn’t need them anymore.
Unfortunately, they soon discover that the daycare is not as they expected. They encounter some new toys there who are under the dictatorship of an evil bear named Lotso. As soon as they figure out the evil truth about the place, Woody and his friends make a daring plan to escape the daycare and return to Andy.

What Makes Toy Story 3 The Best?

Moreover, the movie made a worldwide impact and surpassed several others to receive numerous appreciation from critics. There are several reasons behind the huge success of this third installment.
Memorable New Characters
One thing that was liked the most by the audience was the addition of some new characters. Although the first two parts have a good deal of toys, the third one includes some new ones leading to a fresh appeal for the viewers.
Moreover, the characters were not just fresh but also had a meaningful presence in the story. For example, the devious bear Lotso had a tragic history, because of which he became a bitter teddy now. Likewise, Barbie and her clueless boyfriend, Ken, had their own system. The monkey, the Big Baby, the Peas-in-a-pod, and several other toys marked their individual purpose and also added humor to the movie.
