Toy Story 3 is an upcoming American computer-animated [1] 3-D film and IMAX 3-D film. It is being produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the third installment [2] in the Toy Story series and is scheduled for release on June 18, 2010 in the United States and July 23, 2010 in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. Lee Unkrich, who edited the previous series and co-directed [3] Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo and WALL-E, takes over as director. It has been confirmed by Lee Unkrich that the Motion Picture Association of America rated the film "G."
 

    The story goes like this. Andy, now a young adult, aged 18, is just days away from heading off to college, and his toys, including Woody and Buzz Lightyear, are worried about their unpredictable future. Also, Molly is not going to miss Andy when he's gone.

    Andy plans to keep Woody and put the others in the attic [4], but his mother accidentally throws them away. Opening the trash [5] bag they are in, the toys think that Andy is throwing them away on purpose. Jessie thinks the toys should take charge of their own fate, and convinces them to stow [6] away in a box of other toys headed for donation to Sunnyside Daycare. Woody, trying to save the toys from being thrown away, realizes they're in the donation box. He tries to come to their rescue, but before he can leave, Andy's mom puts him in the box and closes the back door.

    When the toys arrive at Sunnyside they meet many new faces, such as Lotso, a pink strawberry-scented [7] teddy bear [8] who is the leader of the Sunnyside toys, and a smooth-talking Ken doll, who falls head over heels[9] for Molly's Barbie doll.

    The toys are keen on starting a new life at the daycare, except for Woody, who tries to convince them that Andy hasn't abandoned them but in vain. Woody tries to escape, but ends up being taken home by a little girl named Bonnie, who takes him to meet her own toys including Trixie the Triceratops, the rag[10] doll Dolly, a Totoro doll, a thespian[11] hedgehog[12] Mr. Pricklepants, a clown toy named Chuckles the Clown, a stuffed unicorn[13] named Buttercup, and a Peas-in-a-Pod doll. Chuckles tells Woody the horrors of Sunnyside Daycare and Lotso.

    Before long, the other toys discover through Mrs. Potato Head's missing eye that Andy is actively searching for them after noticing they're missing, and realize how much he still cares for them. To make matters worse, they also learn that some of their new friends are not as intimate as they thought, all led by Lotso. When Woody returns to the toys they then come up with a plan to return to Andy's family, but Buzz is damaged during an escape attempt. The toys try to reset Buzz, only to make him revert [14] to a delusional [15] Spanish version of his old self, much to the other toys' discomfort and Jessie's amazement.

    The toys now must all work together to get Woody home before Andy leaves for college.
 

    According to the terms of Pixar's revised deal with Disney, all characters created by Pixar for their films were owned by Disney. Furthermore, Disney retained the rights to make sequels [16] to any Pixar film, though Pixar retained the right of first refusal to work on these sequels. But in 2004, when the contentious [17] negotiations between the two companies made a split[18] appear likely, Disney Chairman at the time Michael Eisner put in motion plans to produce Toy Story 3 at a new Disney studio, Circle 7 Animation. Tim Allen, the voice of Buzz Lightyear, indicated a reluctance to return even if Pixar was not on board.

    Promotional art for Circle 7's Toy Story 3, displaying the plot of the Buzz Lightyears being recalled; this story was later shelved [19]. Jim Herzfeld wrote a script for Circle 7's version of the movie. It centres on the other toys shipping a malfunctioning [20] Buzz to Taiwan, where he was built, believing that he will be fixed there. While searching on the Internet, they find out that many more Buzz Lightyear toys are malfunctioning around the world and the company has issued a massive recall. Fearing Buzz's destruction, a group of Andy's toys (Woody, Rex, Slinky, Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, Jessie, and Bullseye) venture [21] to rescue Buzz. At the same time Buzz meets other toys from around the world that were once loved but have now been recalled.

    In January 2006, Disney bought Pixar in a deal that put Pixar chiefs Edwin Catmull and John Lasseter in charge of all Disney Animation. Shortly thereafter, Circle 7 Animation was shut down and its version of Toy Story 3 was shelved. The following month, Disney CEO Robert Iger confirmed that Disney was in the process of handing over the production to Pixar. John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter, and Lee Unkrich visited the house where they first pitched [22] Toy Story and came up with the story for the film over a weekend. Stanton then wrote a treatment. On February 8, 2007, Catmull announced Toy Story 2's co-director, Lee Unkrich, as the only director of the film instead of John Lasseter, and Michael Arndt as screenwriter. The release date was moved to 2010.

    Instead of sending Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and John Ratzenberger scripts for their consideration in reprising [23] their roles, a complete story reel of the film was shown to the actors in a theater. The reel [24] was made up of moving storyboards [25] with pre-recorded voices, sound effects, and music. At the conclusion of the preview, the actors signed on to the film.

      玩具总动员3是一个即将上映的美国电脑动画3 - D电影和IMAX 3 - D电影。它由皮克斯动画工作室和华特迪斯尼影业公司发行。这是玩具总动员系列的第三部电影，美国上映日期为6月18日，英国和爱尔兰共和国定于7月23日上映。李昂克里奇编辑了以前的系列，并共同执导了玩具总动员2，怪兽公司，海底总动员和华尔街E，并于此次接任导演。李昂克里奇证实美国电影协会将本电影定位“G”级。

    故事是这样的。安迪，一个18岁的年轻的成年人，还差几天就要奔赴大学了。他的玩具，包括伍迪和Buzz Lightyears，对自己的不可预知的未来感到担心。此外，安迪走后莫莉是不会想念他的。

    安迪计划带着Woody，把其他玩具放在阁楼上，但他的母亲偶然地抛弃他们离开了。打开他们所在的垃圾袋，玩具认为安迪是故意扔掉他们而离开的。杰西认为，玩具应该掌握自己的命运，并说服他们将他们和其他玩具存在一个捐赠箱里运到阳光护理中心。伍迪试图挽救被丢弃的玩具，并意识到他们在捐款箱里。他试图来拯救他们，但在他离开前，安迪的妈妈把他们放在了箱中，并关闭了后门。

      玩具到达护理中心后，接触了许多新面孔，如Lotso，粉红色草莓味的泰迪熊，他是玩具的领导者，还有一个说话流利的娃娃，头朝下摔倒在地。

      这些玩具在关怀中心开始了对新生活的渴望，除了伍迪试图说服他们安迪并没有丢掉他们，但最终还是白费口舌。伍迪试图逃跑，但最终被名叫邦尼的一个小女孩带回了家。小女孩带他认识了她的玩具朋友：特里克的三角龙，抹布娃娃多利，龙猫娃娃，刺猬先生，一个名为克尔斯的玩具小丑，一个名叫巴特卡普的麒麟，和一个娃娃。小丑告诉伍迪护理中心和Lotso的恐怖。

      不久，其他玩具通过马铃薯团长夫人的缺失的眼睛发现在他们失踪后，安迪正在积极寻找他们。他们意识到他是多么的关心他们。糟糕的是他们了解到他们的一些新朋友并没有他们想的那样亲密友好，都是由Lotso领导的。当伍迪返回到玩具那里后，他们又想出了一个计划要返回安迪的家庭，但在企图逃走时Buzz遭到损坏。玩具尝试重置Buzz，让他恢复到妄想他的西班牙语版本的以前的自己，这让其他玩具感到不舒服，使杰西感到惊讶。

      现在的玩具都必须共同努力，在安迪奔赴大学前把伍迪带回来。

      根据皮克斯与迪斯尼修改的交易条款，由皮克斯电影创造的所有角色都属于迪斯尼。此外，迪斯尼保留权利，制作任何皮克斯的电影的续集，虽然皮克斯可以首先拒绝协作制作这些续集。但在2004年，当两个公司之间的争议谈判使解体变的不可避免的时候，迪斯尼主席提出在环路7动画公司制作玩具总动员3。蒂姆艾伦，Buzz Lightyear的配音演员，表示不愿再回到过去，即使皮克斯没有在榜上。

      推广环路7的玩具总动员3，揭示了Buzz Lightyear的计划被召回，这个故事后来被搁置。吉姆赫兹费尔德写了环路7的脚本的电影版本。电影版本围绕着其他玩具把运行不良的Buzz运到台湾，在那里他被制造出来，认为他将固定在那里。在互联网上搜索得时候，他们发现在世界各地，有更多的Buzz Lightyear的玩具出现故障，该公司已发出了大规模召回的指令。由于担心Buzz被破坏，一些安迪的玩具冒险去救Buzz。同时Buzz认识了来自世界各地的玩具，它们曾经被人喜爱，但现在却要被召回。

      2006年1月，迪斯尼通过协议收购皮克斯，让埃德温卡特梅尔和约翰拉塞特负责所有迪斯尼的动画制作。此后不久，环路7动画被关闭，玩具总动员3亦被搁置。在随后的一个月，迪斯尼公司首席执行官罗伯特伊格尔证实，迪斯尼正在将生产权移交给皮克斯。约翰拉塞特，安德鲁斯坦顿，彼德托达，李昂克里奇参观了第一次确定玩具总动员这部电影的房子，并在周内就构思出了电影的情节。斯坦顿然后写了合同。 2007年2月8日，Catmull宣布玩具总动员2的的共同导演李昂克里奇作为电影的唯一导演，而不是约翰拉塞特，而编剧则是迈克尔阿恩特。这次发布日期被推迟到2010年。

    这一次并没有把汤姆汉克斯，蒂姆艾伦，约翰拉特森博格的脚本寄给他们，供其审议，而是让他们在电影院中观看整个故事的梗概。胶片由动态的图片、预先录制好的声音和音乐组成。影片结束后演员们签约了这部电影。
