AC REVIEW
The third installment of the Toy Story toys finds Woody and Buzz being boxed up as Andy, their owner, goes off to college. With the voices of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Ned Beatty, Don Rickles and Michael Keaton. Directed by Lee Unkrich. [1:23]
SEX/NUDITY 1 - A male and a female doll rub noses together and hold hands. A female doll sits on a male doll's lap. A female doll kisses a male toy on the cheek multiple times in a row.
► A male doll appears to be wearing only boxer shorts.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Toys struggle to regain their footing after being dumped into a trash compactor: they narrowly avoid being crushed by two large spinning shredders, only to be placed on the path to a giant incinerator, which is belching fireballs and black smoke (the toys are later seen unharmed).
► During an imagination sequence, a toy rips through the roof of a train, is cornered by another toy which whips him and steps on his face, a third toy then pushes the toy with the whip off the train, and the two remaining toys detonate a large explosion on the tracks; the train falls into a gully and the occupants are saved when the train is lifted to safety.
► A toy rips the removable mouth off a shouting toy. A pigeon pecks at a makeshift toy, causing it to crumble into three pieces; it is later seen restored. A large flying toy drops a "bomb" of toys on top of two other toys.
► Toys are seen being tossed, ripped apart, licked and destroyed by children. Toys shove, push, and karate chop other toys, including a toy kicking another toy and shoving a toy into a box, and a toy clamping its arms around another toy's head. Two toys wrap another toy in scotch tape and drag it away. A toy tackles another toy, twisting its head around and later tying it to a paddle board game. A toy is seen tied to a chair as if being interrogated by another toy, which is shouting.
► A toy falls from a kite, into a tree and hits multiple limbs before almost hitting the ground. A dog falls on top of a toy, which struggles to stand up.
► A toy slips and falls in a bathroom as another toy jokes, "Watch out for puddles" (implying the toy slipped on urine). A toy jokes with another toy saying, "I don't think those were Lincoln Logs" (implying the other toy had been around feces). A toy jokes that the smells of trash could be his flatulence. A young child is seen shoving a toy into his mucus-covered nostril.
PROFANITY 1 - Exclamations (heck, darn), name-calling (idiot, junk, over the hill, crazy, pea brain, landfill, furry air freshener, drooling, doofus, moron, Potsie, imposter, astro-nut, liar, bully, imbecile). [profanity glossary]
SUBSTANCE USE - None.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Abandonment, loneliness, revenge, friendship, loyalty, gambling, charity, separation, the idea of growing up.
MESSAGE - Friends stick together.
(Note: An extended short before the movie features two cartoons that wrestle one another, including one cartoon shadow punching the other cartoon shadow in the face until his eyes are blackened, as well as placing him in a chokehold and throwing him off a cliff. One of the cartoon shadows is also implied to urinate while it stands in front of a waterfall and the two shadow characters appear to gawk at cartoon women in bikinis at a swimming pool and beach.)
