The Coen brothers have been making acclaimed, award-winning movies for decades, and in 2013, one of their most thoughtful and beautifully-penned projects hit theaters. Toy Story 3 might have felt unnecessary, but in the end, it felt like a perfect closing chapter for the original trilogy (though Toy Story 4 would follow years later in 2019).

Ultimately, the toys find their way back to Andy, allowing him to introduce each toy to his neighbor's young daughter, finding a new home for his lifelong friends and providing emotional, satisfying closure for both the film's characters and for the audience. When they try to escape, it proves more difficult than they thought - including a harrowing and emotional sequence that sees everyone's favorite gang of toys heading for an incinerator at the end of a trash chute - but luckily, the story ends happily. As Andy sets off for college, his toys end up accidentally donated to a local daycare, where they're tormented by manic children all day.

Toy Story 3 took an entirely different approach to the now-familiar narrative about beloved toys Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), Jessie (Joan Cusack), and more, envisioning a time when their loving owner Andy (John Morris) doesn't need them anymore.
