Plot
Now seventeen years old, Andy has outgrown his old toys and is preparing to move to college. He decides to take Woody with him and packs the other toys in a garbage bag, intending to store them in the attic, but Andy's mom mistakenly puts the bag on the curb. Believing that Andy no longer wants them, the toys sneak into a box to be donated to Sunnyside Daycare. As the only toy who saw what really happened, Woody tries to clear up the misunderstanding, but they are driven to Sunnyside before he can. The toys receive a warm welcome from the toys at Sunnyside, led by Lotso the "Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear." Woody tries to convince the others to return to Andy, but they decide they are happier at Sunnyside, so he leaves without them. The others soon discover the children Lotso assigned them with are too young, and they are innocently abused and tortured. Buzz goes to ask Lotso to transfer them to the older children, but is instead caught by some of the Sunnyside toys and reset to his original, deluded space ranger self.

As he escapes Sunnyside, Woody is found and taken in by a girl from the daycare named Bonnie. Woody learns from Bonnie's toys that Sunnyside is a toy prison run with an iron fist by Lotso, who snapped after his owner lost and replaced him, running away from home and taking over Sunnyside. At the daycare, the others discover that Andy is looking for them when Mrs. Potato Head sees him through her missing eye, which was lost in Andy's room. The toys try to leave but are imprisoned by Lotso and his henchmen, including the reset Buzz. Woody returns to Sunnyside to help his friends break out. They accidentally reset Buzz to his Spanish mode during the escape, though he returns to their side. The toys use a garbage chute to reach a dumpster outside the daycare, but Lotso and his henchmen catch them. Woody and his friends convince the henchmen of Lotso's treachery, so they throw Lotso in the dumpster. However, Lotso pulls Woody into the dumpster just before a garbage truck arrives, forcing the others to rescue him, with Buzz returning to normal in the process. The truck takes the toys to a dump where they are forced onto a conveyor belt for disposal. Woody helps Lotso and the others escape a shredder, but Lotso leaves them to fall into an incinerator. The toys are rescued by a giant claw crane operated by the squeeze toy aliens, while Lotso is found by a garbage man and tied to the front of a truck, to his dismay. The toys return to Andy's house and prepare to be stored in the attic, but Woody decides he and his friends deserve better, so he leaves a note to Andy suggesting he donate his toys to Bonnie. Together with Bonnie, Andy plays with his toys one more time before he leaves for college. Woody and his friends begin their lives anew with Bonnie's toys while the reformed Sunnyside toys begin turning the daycare into a true toy paradise.
