![]() Toy Story 3's final ending works because it's about Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and the other toys reconciling with what it means to be a toy. It also shows no growth for either the toys or Andy that would resonate with the realities of growing up and acceptance. Nevertheless, this Toy Story 3 ending wouldn't have worked as it's not really about the toys and instead becomes about the literal race to Andy and the various miscommunications and malfunctions. The connection to Al Toy's Barn is also a fun nod to Toy Story 2. The original ending that Arndt describes sounds amusing as the toys race to reach Andy while dealing with the chaos of their radio-controlled toy vehicles. And then we had this thing where the battery – the motorcycle runs out of battery, and they all have to hop on the car and then the car runs out of batteries, and they all have to hop on the plane and then the climax was that they're all on the plane, and they just slide through the window and go smashing into Andy's bedroom just as he's walking up the stairs, and he finds his toys there and packs them all away. And so you have this – it's sort of this comedy sprint to the finish where you have a ticking clock and Andy's about to leave for college. ![]() So, the people on the motorcycle are controlling the car, the people in the car are controlling the airplane. They get back on their vehicles, and they take off, and then they realize retroactively that they all grabbed the wrong remote controllers. And they're going to use that to get back to Andy's house in time, and then they all try to take off, and they immediately collide with each other, and they get themselves sorted out. And so the initial third act of the film – I don't know if anyone's talked it publicly or discussed it, but the initial third act was, they realize that they're right next to Al's Toy Barn, and so they go into Al's Toy Barn, they get a bunch of – they get a radio-controlled car, a radio-controlled motorcycle, and a radio-controlled airplane. The initial third draft was, they escaped from Sunnyside, and then they realized that Andy's leaving for college in like ten minutes, and they had no time to get home to Andy's house. The differences that Arndt describes show how much Toy Story 3 changed from the first draft to the finished version that was released in theaters in 2010. ![]() The original idea was that the toys would race to get back to Andy's room, and they faced a few bumpy challenges with their mode of transportation. While both endings follow the toys escaping Sunnyside Daycare and trying to get back to Andy before he leaves for college, the approaches are otherwise completely different. ![]()
