Toy Story 3 is set nearly a decade after the second film, where Andy is an eighteen-year-old boy prepped and ready to go to college. Buzz and some of Andy's other toys set out to find Woody and bring him back home, and though the treacherous Stinky Pete tries to stop them, they're able to bring Woody back home and welcome Jessie and Bullseye to their toy family. Turns out, Woody is an incredibly rare and valuable toy that's part of a larger set consisting of Jessie the Cowgirl, Bullseye his noble steed, and Stinky Pete the Prospector ( Kelsey Grammer). In Toy Story 2, Woody suffers an injury and is unable to play with Andy, and ends up stolen by the owner of Al's Toy Barn ( Wayne Knight). So now the franchise seemed over, apart from the mostly unconnected spin-off Lightyear (2022), which did little to impress audiences and critics alike. Those fears proved to be unfounded as Toy Story 4 was a fantastic epilogue that gave explored the character of Woody in a way the franchise had never before. That's why many were perplexed by the release of Toy Story 4 (2019), with the pre-release consensus being the last film ended so perfectly and didn't warrant a sequel. With the toys now ready to live a happy life with a new owner, it seemed like Toy Story 3 spelled the definitive end of the long-running franchise, with Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang finding their happy ending. Those heart-tugging moments were doubled down on in the third installment, Toy Story 3 (2010), which concluded the original trilogy in spectacular fashion with a film so good that it even received a Best Picture Academy Award nomination. Considered by many to be one of the best-animated sequels ever made, the second installment in the Toy Story franchise introduced even more fan-favorite characters like Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl ( Joan Cusack), and it delivered a much more emotional storyline. Pixar wasn't done pushing the envelope just yet, however, as they outdid themselves with Toy Story 2 (1999), a sensational sequel that is just as good if not better than the original.
