Language: English       

Publisher: Burbank, CA : Disney Enterprises Inc. : Distributed by Buena Vista Home Entertainment, ©2010.

Summary: Andy is 17 years old and headed off to college, meaning he doesn’t have a place in his life for childhood things. The toys (save for Woody), fearing they’ll be packed away in the attic and forgotten about forever, are mistakenly donated to the local daycare facility. There, their wishes to be played with once again are fulfilled all too well. They also meet a new collection of toys, including Barbie, Ken, Mr. Pricklepants, Chuckles the clown, and the grandfatherly Lots-O’ Huggin’ Bear, who may not be exactly who he seems to be. When Woody realizes that Andy still wants his toys, it’s up to him to stage a daring rescue effort and break his friends out of Sunnyside Day Care.
