It was the perfect ending. When Toy Story first came out, I was a bit younger than Andy. By the end of this third movie, I was in college. So the kids who grew up with movies actually aged with them too. Broke my heart when Woody said goodbye.

[@striderdavid]

Yes! We're probably about the same age. I had the original Toy Story on VHS as a kid and I was in college when 3 came out. I cry in movies fairly often but that one was the last time I just outright can't-breath, body shaking, tears pouring, sobbed in a movie theater. I felt kinda dumb as a 19 year old dude, sitting next to my parents, weeping uncontrollably over a kids movie, but all the love and connection between these characters, and me growing up at the same time as Andy, it was all extremely powerful to me.

[@linds7076]

@@striderdavid I was right there with you. Full body sobbing trying to maintain some kind of composure in a damn theater as a 19/20 ish year old. It was a massive chapter coming to an end and we happened to be in the right age frame to experience it in a personal way. It’s a pretty cool thing. I wish you the best!

[@marlonclark1896]

let's see i was 4 when the first one came out i was 8 when the second one came out and i was 19 when the third one came out

[@transittimes2008]

That’s typically what happens when a generation becomes indoctrinated by a movie or franchise. The next generation won’t be as exposed as we were. 3 generations will go by, and Toy Story will be forgotten in 60-70 years time.

[@gargles5270]

at least a silver lining is that ts4 isn’t about andy, it’s about woody and his future

[@nobinary2296]

I actually cried in the scene with Andy playing one last time and then saying goodbye. Seeing the look on Andy's face as Bonnie had Woody wave goodbye... Man that choked me up.

it’s the fact that it seems to also choke andy up a little 😭 that whole scene makes me cry throughout but that part especially

[@wuttatota148]

50:02 That whole discussion with Woody actually leaving the decision up to Andy blew my mind. I never realized that before and it just gave a whole new meaning to the ending of this movie (which is already beyond perfect). Can't believe it got even better 52:05 Yeah i grew up with these movies and when i watched it in the theater i'm telling you, not a single dry eye in there. There's still kids, but it's mostly adults who grew up with the old Toy Story movies and we were all crying our eyes out 😂

[@AshXXMayftw]

My mom was even crying since it was the original was the first movie, she and my dad ever took me to see, and I was the same age as Andy in this movie.

I remember watching this in theaters and my mom was laughing so much at Ham playing the harmonica, but I was over here crying my eyes out yelling at her to stop laughing because it's sad. Then everyone else in the theater started laughing even more. 🤣🤣 I also remember it being silent when the toys were in the fire pit, and in the end even the adults had tears when Andy drove away.

[@whitenoisereacts]

Yes. I mean u have no heart if u don’t cry

[@WarriorAuranae]

32:37 as someone who owned a lot of Barbie dolls, I can say the shoe thing isn’t her fault. Their feet were literally slanted to fit into heels and similar shoes (they are removable), so she cannot wear Ken’s flat shoes. The only exception I know is one “special” Barbie: she came in a wheelchair, to ‘represent’ people with disabilities, and she had flat feet to wear sneakers. Kinda sad that one of the few Barbies with normal-looking feet (and functional knees) is one that was not intended to stand or walk.

[@fumetsushinju]

You're right about the Barbie "heel" feet, but you forgot about all the sport-themed Barbies like soccer players. They had very poseable bodies, functional knees, flat feet for sport-themed shoes. One 90's "Mulan" doll made by Mattel also had functional knees and flat feet, because she was marketed as "soldier-in-training" Mulan (she came with a bo staff and the poseable body was so kids could have their Mulan doll do martial arts.)

[@Skye_Writer]

Don't forget about Skipper, Barbie's kid sister. She did have flat feet.

[@2abecrazy]

You are absolutely right when you say that Toy Story aged with its audience, none of the older or younger generations will understand just how much these movies meant to us. I had just turned 4 when the first Toy Story was released, then I was 8 when the 2nd came out. Then the really cool thing is that when the 3rd was released in the Summer of 2010, I had just graduated from highschool and was entering college just like Andy. It was a huge deal as you can imagine :)))

Toy Story 3 is the best of the franchise. It was the perfect cap to the trilogy. It tears me up every time.

[@Omegafire17]

To me, the beginning playtime wasn't so much Andy's imagination, but the toys'. I mean, if they're gonna stay still and let Andy do whatever, they might as well ham it up and go all-in on what he's saying :)

[@CJCroen1393]

Not gonna lie, I'd totally watch a whole movie that's just that.

Not me crying again in the last minutes of the movie TwT The scene Andy gave his toys to Bonnie and played with them a last time always gets me :'D I still have some old toys from when I was little and I sometimes open the boxes and feels so nostalgic remembering the time I played with them :')

[@Eggnimates]

Fun fact: there was actually a comic book side story where Toy Story and Monsters inc. did a crossover and in it Sid found his way into multiple different pixsar worlds where he would take many different toys and either destroy them or sell them to make a profit.

A little trivia for you; the idea of having Potato Head be able to put his face, arms, and legs isn't as out there as you might think. A lot of these animators were kids at the time the first Potato Head came out or they know their toy history. He wasn't a Mr. Potato Head back then; the facial parts came with male and female eyes, and the box was just the parts, not the base/body. You actually would stick the face and arms and feet onto REAL potatoes, or any other vegetable big enough for it, including cucumbers, eggplants, etc. The toy started being sold with a plastic base because parents got tired of having their kids put the veggies in their toy boxes to keep playing with them until they began to rot. Another piece of trivia, Ham is voiced by John Ratzenberger, best known for playing a know-it-all mailman bar patron on Cheers. Cliff claimed to know everything about everything, and when he didn't really know something, he just made it up. Ham knowing so much about everything is a nod to Ratzenberger's portrayal of Cliff.

Disney wanted to make Toy Story a trilogy and it should have stayed a trilogy. "Toy Story 4" should have been "A Toy Story: Woody" and not be tied to the trilogy. That way Disney and the Fans could have it both ways where it didn't ruin the perfect trilogy ending and Disney could make more money and the Animators/Directors could go crazier with their storytelling.

[@AleyiaDavis]

Exact same thing I said after I saw Toy Story 4 in theaters. It was a great movie, don’t get me wrong, but it needed to be named something similar to what you said, “A Toy Story: Woody and Bo’s Wild adventure.” Or something. Toy Story 3’s ending was the perfect ending for the trilogy.

Fun fact: Jessie and Buzz's Spanish dance was choreographed by Tony Dovolani and Cheryl Burke, who were pro dancers for Dancing with the Stars.

[@whitenoisereacts]

That’s awesome

[@FatimaMTT]

Something that I love about Pixar is that they spend so much time (literally years) writing and re-writing the story to make sure it works, even after Disney bought them they still put so much emphasis on story, making sure that it works and it’s unique and universal. I think that’s what makes them stand out from other Disney or Disney-owned movies, and obviously Disney has lots of movies that do an amazing job with the story as well but they tend to go for “safer” plots that they already know will work and make money. I’d love to see more reactions to Pixar movies. Love your channel, keep it up!

[@arwen_candl]

This movie has a special place in my heart. I was too young for the first and second one. However, me and my mother watched this in the theaters on a whim. I was at the age where I still played toys but I knew I was growing up. I just balled in the theater at the ending and at the thought of growing up. I didn’t expect him giving up Woody. I also have a teddy bear like Lotso that I never gave up. I’m now at Andy’s age heading for college and I am currently cRYING at the scene when he played with the toys one last time. It always tugs my heart strings.

[@rachaelhalliday1193]

The scene where the toys hold hands & accept death really shocked me on the first time watching.

[@robertoprestigiacomo253]

There something emotionally devastating that I can't explain in seeing the toys during the final scene with their fixed faces. You can't see their expression but you know what's going on, you know they know that's the last time they'll ever see Andy. Many pixar movies are emotional in various ways but the ending of Toy Story 3 has got me the most since I have been through many stages in my life and everytime it's bittersweet to leave things behind.

[@whitenoisereacts]

Yes!!! Completely agree

[@Skye_Writer]

Also, the dancing Buzz does is motion capture of professional award-winning Tony Dovolani and Jessie's dancing was provided by professional dancer Cheryl Burke. Cheryl and Tony both were, at the time this movie was animated, pro dancers on Dancing With The Stars and were brought to the studio specifically to dance in mocap suits for the sequences.

[@kay-jay1581]

The jail door lol. I work on a pre-school and it’s very small compared to Sunnyside, but for security purposes; there are locks and cameras. It’s not just because children could wonder out into the street (they are very young ages 2-5 years old). But lots of parents are divorced and from time to time adults that are not supposed to be there, or have no legal right to pick up the children, try to get inside. There was one time when a father had a restraining order was not allowed to be within school area and near the kid. He was trespassing and attempted to get his kid. The cops were called to remove him.

[@fabiolarodriguez494]

I just had a mayor crying session watching this reaction!!! This ending always gets me emotional and feeling nostalgic. And I love that this is something that's timeless, I can picture my 70 old self seeing this movie and tears dropping from my eyes, like no matter what age you are this reminds you of what it feels like to be a kid and to be in your little bubble filled with imagination and wonders that keep all grown-up's worries away. Someday I'm gonna watch this movie with a kid, like their reaction should be pretty interesting, considering that especially when one is too young, the thought of moving on from some things is unthinkable. Crazy how fast time flies, you don't even remember forgetting the things that made your childhood special, but this movie hits you with it

[@gotbeef1218]

This movie came out in the summer of 2010, the year I also went off to college. My mom and I went to the theater to watch it and it hit true. The original Toy Story was one of the first movies I saw in theaters with my parents, so the fact that all the timeline pieces were about the same really made my mom cry and me realize how me being away and not a kid anymore would really affect her

I remember watching Toy Story on VHS when I was 7, then watching Toy Story 2 in theaters with my older brother at 11. Even had Woody, Buzz and several of the other toys from the movies! I watched the 3rd with my family when I was in college at age 22 and the tears I shed were no joke. Andy was all of our perspectives at the end of this movie. I never thought a film about sentient toys could resonate so much with so many people. But growing with a character that almost seems secondary compared to the toys, it's like witnessing ourselves say goodbye to all these toys we've grown up with, because let's face it, they were our toys too! Great reaction guys, excited for your reaction on the next one!

You're absolutely right about the audience being Andy. Two of my best friends and I went to see this in the theater when it came out and we were a year out of college, beginning our lives as adults. One of my friends and I were SOBBING in the theater at the scene when Andy gives his toys to Bonnie and asks her to take good care of them, and even my other friend who isn't much of a crier teared up. It's tough realizing that your childhood is over, and thinking about your carefree days playing with beanie babies and barbies. I cried again just watching the reaction!

This movie has a very personal meaning for me, I see a lot as a "growing and moving on" story. I was 9 when it came out and I saw it with my family, most importantly my father was there with us, that was the last time I saw a movie with my father (He loved movies and going to the movie theater, and he used to take me to watch movies a lot). Losing my father was very hard for me, I never went to the doctor or talk to a therapist, but I can tell now that I had depression, everything was so unimportant I felt everything that brought me joy before was tasteless. Everytime I see this movie I remember my father and think back on how I had to let go of him. This movie is great and it reminds me that my father still lives within me, so I have to keep going, he helped me a lot just as the toys did for Andy.

Unpopular opinion, but I didn’t think this series needed a 4th movie. Yes it was really well done, but I just didn’t think the ending of it (and no I will not be giving spoilers because I want to see them react to it) was necessary because this ending was just so perfectly done, and then all it really needed was the little cute shorts they did with Molly and the rest of the toys on Disney.

[@Morten_Storvik]

Remember that Woody is the main character. The 3rd was about saying goodbye to Andy, which was the event that started the final chapter of Woody`s own story. He had reached the moment the prospector from the 2nd one was talking about. Andy had moved on, and Woody needed to find a new and fulfilling purpose in life. Which is what the 4th movie is about: giving closure to Woody himself.

[@c_ash_68]

Wow- love your reaction to this movie! As a child of the early 90's, I was quite literally the same age as Andy.

The franchise and the window of time it spans really captures that transition from childhood to adulthood in a special way.

I'm skipping almost everything because I can't watch this movie again without having my heart broken and dying in tears but I really wanna watch the reaction as well so here I am lmao

[@Taqwiss]

I am exactly the kid who grew up with toy story and watched toy story 3 right going into college. Up til that moment I had only cried watching a movie with Schindler’s list, and believe me, its an understatement if I tell you I was balling up in the cinema with this, and I wasnt even embarrassed, most of the people around me were exactly the same or worse than me, as I went to a late session full of “adults”. That ending is everything.

I'm 22 and I still collect LPS Littlest Pet Shop, filming with them creating stories. I'm not in college but I still take my time to make these creative ideas with toys. I also collect a bit of Bratz and Rainbow High as well

As someone who has worked in child care for 20 years, it always cracks me up how spot on this movie is! Daycare toys are in for a rough life. Those kids are rough!!

I had wars with my toys all the time as well James.

[@nicholaswalker4791]

I refused to watch Toy Story 4 (and still haven't) as I believe this is my ending with them from start to finish. Maybe a tad sad but I owned all these toys growing up so i moved on with Andy in a way

[@Morten_Storvik]

Then you are missing out. The 4th one is great as well. The 3rd gave us closure with Andy, but Woody, the actual main character, had yet to have a proper closure as a character. Hence the 4th movie.

[@MoNDockS225]

@@Morten_Storvik THANK YOU. More people should read this.

[@lucashogan2912]

I wish I hadn't watched the fourth. It's nowhere near the level of masterpiece that the trilogy was. They made buzz dumb, the ending was rushed, most of the gang were barely even side characters to make room for new toys that fell flat, bo peep was a completely different character from the jump because hey strong women power blah blah, the villain did something horrible to woody and we were supposed to feel for her, did I mention they reduced buzz to a slow moron? Only redeeming quality was the gorgeous animation. Maybe if they had called it Woody's story I would feel less saddened by the vast drop in quality, but one things for sure, it was no toy story.

[@Morten_Storvik]

@@lucashogan2912 - Buzz was not dumb. He simply took something more literal than he should have since they literally have an inner voice. - Woody was the main focus. The other toys nearly had the 3rd movie to themselves. - Bo Peep was always a badass. That side of her simply came out more after several years where it had to come out. - Woody himself had complete sympathy for her and agreed. And when it failed, she even wanted to give the voice-box back. Of course we are supposed to feel for her. - The entire series was "Woody`s story" 🤨 He is the main character.

12:21 So while not the same universe or anything, there was a book I read as a kid, The Doll People, that had the same concept of dolls coming to life when no one was looking. However there were consequences to being seen. If the human somewhat brushed it off and didn’t believe they actually saw anything, the doll went into Doll State and froze for 24 hours. However if a human definitely saw the doll moving, that doll went into Permanent Doll State, where they were stuck forever. In either Doll State the doll is just stuck in their mind, watching, but unable to move.

[@jayjayjames2332]

I was born in 1993 and was 17 when Toy Story 3 came out. So yes, I grew up with Toy Story and this story arch really is special because of that. The message was indeed for most of use in that generation that were around the same age as Andy and have gone through the same passage of time from the first film to the third. I remember getting emotional as well probably solely due to this and due to the fact that I myself was an avid wrestling fan and loved wrestling figures and had just very recently stopped playing with them prior to this movie (yes even at 16). I never got rid of them. Most are proudly displayed in my home office as a soon to be 29 year old and I still collect them but it still hit the feels.

[@neb2504]

I’m genuinely curious to see what y’all think of Toy Story 4, because while it’s very well made (it is Pixar, after all) I have a lot of issues personally with where they took the story

[@Morten_Storvik]

What`s wrong with it?

[@IsabellaN777]

I used to think "omg why not stop at 3 it's perfect ending". But actually, [SPOILER] I changed my mind when I read a review article that made a good point. Toy Story's main character is first and foremost; WOODY. From movie 1-4 it came full circle. It's like stages of "growing up". 1st movie is him learning about making friends and working together with other toys and being selfless, 2nd is reflecting on what's most important to him (Andy, and again, him being selfless and being there for Andy and his friends), 3rd is adult phase for Woody: him facing major changes to his life, just like Andy becoming an adult and moving out. But it doesn't end there. 4th is finally him reflecting what next and finally he could do things for himself, and decide for himself what HE wants to do, after giving himself selflessly to others' needs (4th movie is like his "retirement"). I thought they did a great job of wrapping the whole saga up. :)

[@Morten_Storvik]

@@IsabellaN777 Exactly.

[@concettasorvillo3719]

@@IsabellaN777 True. Even if I think the third one has a better ending as the story goes, the fouth has the best ending thematically, considering Woody as the protagonist and not Andy. Because the first three are also Andy's story, but Toy Story is the story about THE toy, which is Woody. He comes full circle from being the favourite toy, to become selfless, to know his true heritage, to have the rite passage from a child to another child, to have is own mission around the world. To be fair, even if they had decided to not do the fourth one it would be good as well for the story, but the fourth is more credible as the life goes: not everytime you can stay in your perfect comfort zone with your friends, sometimes your real purpose goes further an you have to follow it even if in the beginning is difficult and you have to say goodbye to friends. But is not a sad goodbye, it's a goodbye like "Ok, this is my purpose in life. I go follow it. I love you but I have to go", such as Buzz finds his purpose in being the leader of the toys and be with Jessie.

I remember when I was about 15 and was allowed to give my room a full make over. New bed, furniture, Wall paper, you name it. Of course some stuff had to go, among that my entire barbie collection. Now, at 15, of course I didnt use them anymore, but getting rid of them was SO emotional and I still remember cleaning, dressing and styling each and everyone of them one last time before donating them to charity and saying good bye to them for good, along with my Childhood That was the first time that I really felt that my childhood was over and that a new chapter had begun. It was wierd

I cried so hard when I watched this. Toy Story is a big part of my childhood and watching it while being close to Andy's age, saying goodbye to the characters like that, it hit me so hard. I cannot watch this movie without at least a few tears escaping, every time. This was truly a masterpiece, a perfect way to end Andy's arc with his toys, his friends while growing up.

[@aaronnoid9366]

Growing up watching toy story, monsters inc, Finding Nemo, and the incredibles, I never thought I would see toy story get another film . I was ten years old when this came out. No spoilers for the next one, but this one feels more like an ending of the story entirely, and the fourth one to me feels more like a tribute of the legacy it made. Can't wait for your reaction to the next one

[@mumygirl1890]

Every little girl had one of those baby dolls that the clothes got lost and got drawn on.

[@kay-jay1581]

Yeah I had one of those too. They are very common and fun to play.

[@mwohaeyo]

The end always gets to me. Andy sharing the toys stories, playing with them one last time, and making sure that Bonnie would love them like he does. It's sort of similar to death, letting go of people you love and making sure that there is someone to take your place when you can no longer be there. I had one special toy, it was this Ernie plushie that was the size of my palm as a kid. It sort of functioned as a healing medium for me, as long as I had it my anxiety and depression would simmer down and I could function for the day as a kid. I eventually lost it when we got evicted, some of our stuff went to a storage and when we couldn't afford it the auctioned our stuff away (we moved from Riverside California to Phoenix Arizona). I would give anything to have that toy back, and even though it isn't alive I know that it's in another kid's heart. Even if they toy is thrown away, the memory will last with us forever.

[@cheyennepeterson6499]

I love this movie because it teaches you not to judge a book by it's cover the creepy baby is actually a good sweet baby doll and the innocent looking adorable bear is actually a mean grumpy and controlling bear

The Japanese keep the kokeshi doll toys their children grow up with. They don't just toss them in the trash like we do, but put them in a place of honor in the home. The toys have absorbed the child's joys and happiness, and brings good luck to the family. Best part: after the toy reaches 100 years in age, it becomes alive!

My guess is the Demo mode is the setting used for promotions where they would restrict what voice lines he could say. That way you can sell the kids on the idea of discovering all his other voice lines.

7:57 I mean... kids have multiple hobbies. I remember when I was younger, I played with toys, I played videogames, I played outside... I imagine back in the 50s, a lot of older folks would have been like, "Ugh, kids these days wouldn't even know what a toy is, because they're too busy playing outside!"

[@breakfastatmilliways]

yeah, I watched this one in theaters with a friend and her younger brother. He was embarrassed to be seen with us because we were crying so hard by the end. Growing up with the movies definitely made it more meaningful, to me at least.
