What kind of watch this is
Lee Unkrich directs this 103-minute animation about a group of toys facing their own retirement. The tone shifts quickly from playful chaos to genuine anxiety, anchored by the simple, devastating premise that childhood is ending. It is not a movie about plastic objects; it is a movie about letting go. The humor lands hard because the stakes feel real to the characters, even if you have outgrown them. It earns its emotional weight without drowning in tears. Press play if you are ready for a story that understands its own ending.
What the critics said
Critics agreed on a rare thing: a sequel that works. Rotten Tomatoes sits at 98% based on 313 reviews, with an average rating of 9.1/10. Metacritic lands on 92 out of 100, which it calls universal acclaim. Time named it the best film of 2010, a title that still feels heavy for a movie about plastic toys. A. O. Scott called it a "melancholy meditation on loss." Claudia Puig called it "everything a movie should be." One critic noted it was slick, not magical, which is a fair distinction if you’re being picky.
How it did with audiences
Toy Story 3 spent $200 million to earn $1.1 billion worldwide. It pulled in $415 million in the United States, a number that still lands with a satisfying thud. Audiences on IMDb give it a weighted average of 8.3 out of 10, as of March 2026. TMDB users rate it 7.8, a slightly cooler reception but one that still signals respect. For a movie about toys that were explicitly retired, the financial life it enjoyed was anything but.
