Line 4:
** Especially when Woody spreads his arms and shouts Buzz's catchphrase
* Woody's plan to save Buzz and help all of Sid's toys.
{{quote| "From now on, you must take good care of your toys. Because if you don't, we'll find out, Sid. We toys can see ''everything''... So play '''nice'''."}}
* Using perfectly executed teamwork to get Sid's dog locked out of the house.
* Heck, ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' in itself is a [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|Moment of Awesome]]. It revolutionized animation and cinema, put Pixar on the path to becoming a household name and a cinematic Seal of Approval - and it did so with wit and heart. [[Walt Disney|Walt]] [[So Proud of You|would be proud.]]
* Buzz saving Woody from Scud. Especially counts after Woody hopelessly saying "Take care of Andy for me!" while being dragged out of the moving truck.
* Shortly afterwards, Slinky attempting to pull Woody and Buzz up, at great risk to himself.
* '''''CAN!'''''
* [[Punctuated! forFor! Emphasis!|YOU! ARE! A! TOOOOY!!!]]
* Is the entire concept that Woody, a cowboy, is just about as awesome as a SPACE RANGER incredibly awesome?
 
Line 33:
** Three Words: '''DEATH. BY. MONKEYS.'''
* Jessie's [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: {{spoiler|"This isn't a family, it's a prison! You're a liar and a bully! And I'd rather rot in this dumpster than join any family of yours!"}}
** Which is then followed by Barbie's hilarious epic [[Kirk Summation]]: {{spoiler|"Jessie's right! Authority should derive from the consent of the governed, not from threat of force!"}}
* The toys' plan for escape from [[The Alcatraz]].
* Big Baby channeling {{spoiler|[[Return of the Jedi|Darth Vader killing the Emperor]]}} when throwing {{spoiler|Lotso}} into the dumpster was pretty hardcore.
Line 44:
* Yet two more meta-examples can be found in the film's box office performance. Yes, it sounds funny, geeky, and a bit stupid. Yes, we know filmmaking is more about entertainment than the money. But, Toy Story 3 becoming the ''highest grossing animated film of all time '''and''' the first to exceed one billion U.S. dollars'' is something that Pixar -- Pixar who we all know and love, and contributed so much to many people's childhoods -- really, really deserve, as their own Moment of Awesome, isn't it? It's a perfect cap to the last fifteen years of win after win after win, and we all want to see Pixar do well because they are ''awesome''. Plus, the film just shows how brilliant they are. Don't deny it -- you were a little bit happy when you heard the news. After all, they've earnt it.
* Woody's "[[Shut UP, Hannibal]]" to {{spoiler|Lotso}} definitely counts.
{{quote| '''Woody:''' She replaced YOU. And if you couldn't have her, no one could!}}
** Even more awesome when you consider that Woody's actions in the first film could have ended with him going down the same dark path.
* While in a bit of a different theme than the other examples here, and to continue with the meta theme, Pixar gets another for their depiction of {{spoiler|[[Fire and Brimstone Hell|the Incinerator]]}}, which genuinely feels scary for both the toys and the audience. Pixar, by terrifying moviegoers, continues to prove that they know what they're doing when it comes to making movies.
Line 51:
* The moment [[Mysterious Informant|Chatter Telephone]] starts to speak through his receiver in his [[Film Noir]] esque voice, you ''know'' he's the [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] of the movie.
* When Woody and Buzz {{spoiler|go back to save Lotso in the Garbage Magnet scene}}. But it's not just because they're successful at it and it's also [[Ungrateful Bastard|definitely not because he lives]]. No, it's because {{spoiler|they actively ''knew'' at that point that he was the villain and he had tried to kill them, and yet they still risked their lives to save him with NO hesitation at all}}. That kind of heroism ''deserves'' a spot on this page.
** Woody and Buzz, full stop. Their [[Took a Level Inin Badass|development]] over the previous two films culminates into two concentrated beings of pure awesome by the third.
* [[Badass Spaniard|Spanish Buzz]] braving falling garbage to save Jesse in the garbage truck, even more impressively [[Crazy Awesome|than Buzz normally does everything.]]
* {{spoiler|Lotso.}} It's a [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|Moment of Awesome]] in itself that Pixar managed to make a {{spoiler|cute pink teddy bear}} of all things truly menacing.
