* Don't deny it: you felt bad for [[TheWoobie Big Baby]] when he remembered his previous owner, Daisy. After Woody gives him back his old [[TragicKeepsake "My Heart Belongs To Daisy" pendant]], he realizes that due to Lotso's lies, he lost his only chance to reunite with her back when he had the opportunity and will never see her again.

In one moment, Pixar had just turned what is probably the literal biggest NightmareFuelStationAttendant of the film into the (also literal) biggest {{Woobie}} of said film.

As the film trilogy is emotionally powerful, ''Toy Story 3'' in particular gets a special mention, in which it is so powerful that even hearing the story second-hand is enough to make one break down and weep.

* The ending. '''Holy mackerel''', the ending. Woody leaves a note for Andy to take his toys to Bonnie. When Andy brings them to her, Andy takes them out and introduces them to her, playing with her and with them for one last time. One of the last shots of the movie is Andy, about to drive off to college, waving goodbye to Bonnie as she stands on the front porch, Buzz and Woody in her arms. As she waves goodbye, she picks up Woody's arm to make him "wave" goodbye. What makes this more heart-wrenching is that as Andy is taking the toys out, he takes Woody out last, not knowing how he got in the box. When Bonnie recognizes him as her cowboy doll, she reaches for him, but Andy slightly pulls Woody back. This is when he tells her how Woody would always be there for her. And after the whole playtime sequence, as Andy is driving away, Woody says, "So long, partner." Andy was surprised because, for a moment, it seemed like Woody was ACTUALLY waving goodbye to him, which, he WAS. And also the line, "Thanks guys..." It was a true farewell to childhood. It hit too close to home with a major demographic for the movie, and that is college students, or people who have just recently crossed the thin line into adulthood from childhood.

* Andy's voice actor has never changed. Ever. The young man who provided Andy's voice in this movie was the same little boy who did Andy's voice in the first two films. This also applies to everyone else who had a role in the first two - the only voices that changed were Molly's (as Molly was just a wee baby before) and Slinky's (due to Jim Varney's [[AuthorExistenceFailure untimely death]] in 2000). Everyone but those two kept their original voices from the first two films.

* At the beginning of the film, Woody tells Slinky to gather everyone for a staff meeting. Slinky's response? Everyone ''is'' already gathered. For anyone who grew up with the first film and remembered all the toys that attended Woody's staff meeting, seeing such a large population reduced to just under a dozen (combined with Slinky's response) gave the film [[AfterTheEnd an eerily post-apocalyptic feel]].
