(As bad as being a toy in the caterpillar room is, that's not so bad compared to what's going to happen to Lotso on that garbage truck.)

Line 85:
*** Lotso's backstory. Him getting lost on a trip out and having to make his way back home to the owner he is intensely loyal to: That's the plot of the first movie right there. Him being replaced and his [[If I Can't Have You]]: Hey, Woody, remember when you pushed Buzz out the window? His philosophy that all toys are destined to be treated as garbage: Remember when Woody was more willing to go to a museum than to Andy because he was afraid he'd be thrown out eventually? Lotso is [[Future Me Scares Me|Woody from a bad future.]]
## [http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/18/toy-story-3-easter-eggs/ Other Pixar films]:
*** The quick series of shots over which Chatter Telephone narrates all the obstacles the toys will face in their escape from Sunnyside recalls a similar sequence detailing the plan to escape the fish tank in ''[[Finding Nemo]]'' (both are ''[[Mission: Impossible]]'' parodies and visual shout-outs to the films of David Fincher).
*** Big Baby resembles the creepy baby who fell victim to the Uncanny Valley in the [[Pixar Shorts]] ''Tin Toy''. In that short, a number of toys hide from said child. The same toys are also shown hiding from the toddlers of the Caterpillar Room before the kids return from recess.
*** [[Freeze-Frame Bonus]]: Andy's board has a postcard from Carl and Ellie of ''[[Up]]''; his posters feature the Omnidroid of ''[[The Incredibles]]''; fish from ''Finding Nemo'' are seen in stickers on his wall and in paintings at the daycare; Sunnyside has toy versions of ''Nemo'''s Mister Ray and some of the characters from ''[[Cars]]'' (non-anthropomorphic Snot Rod on Andy's calendar (August) and Finn Mcmissile from ''Cars 2'' on a poster, also, when the children burst into the room for the first time, one of the them is wearing a "95" shirt). Buzz Lightyear is powered by batteries from [[WALL-E|Buy-N-Large]].
Line 138:
** It seems Buzz is naturally attracted to Jessie, as indicated by Brainwashed Buzz's claim that he is "immune to your... bewitching good looks."
* [[Dumb Blonde]]: Barbie appears to be this at first, but later says two lines to Lotso that totally avert it.
{{quote|'''Barbie:''' Authority should derive from the [[wikipedia:Consent of the governed|consent of the governed]], not from threat of force!
''(Hamm and Potato Head shrug in confusion)'' }}
** Well, she ''was'' President once...
Line 187:
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]:
** [[Refuge in Audacity|Pixar sure is ballsy:]]
{{quote|'''Hamm:''' ''(to Rex, while in cell, to distract [[Brainwashed and Crazy|Buzz]])'' Hey! What're you doing?! ''(covers his [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|cork]])'' Keep your hands off my stuff!
'''Rex:''' [[Prison Rape|Ohhhh, come over here, Porky!]] }}
*** Particularly disturbing, considering it might be a sly reference to [[Deliverance|another movie with Ned Beatty...]]
Line 234:
** And it all goes downhill from here.
* [[Hot Mom]]: Andy's mom, who even though it's almost a decade later looks better than she did in the previous two movies!
* [[Humans Are Cthulhu]]: The kids on Caterpillar Room. Or did everyone miss one of them trying to swallow Buzz, while the others treated the rest just like the [[Eldritch Abomination]]s in Lovecraft's stories treat humanity?! The only thing needed to turn ''Toy Story 3'' into Lovecraft-Kids Version was them [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation|going mad from the revelation]]. Cue to {{spoiler|Lotso resetting Buzz to his first film persona and making him his puppet.}}
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Chunk's remark that Buzz "ain't the sharpest knife in the... [[Buffy-Speak|place where... they keep the knives.]]"
** One of the other toys immediately calls him out on this. "Neither are you."
Line 348:
** A tower with a klieg that searches the playground. [[The Lord of the Rings|Doesn't ring a bell]].
** Rex being overwhelmed by the flood of monkeys in the intro is reminiscent of a background event in the [[The Lord of the Rings|Battle of Pelennor Fields]], where the Dead Men overwhelm and devour an Oliphaunt.
** '''''[[Mission: Impossible]]!'''''
** This may just be reading WAAAAAAAY too much into the scene, but one of the scenes with '''Ken''' wearing a white gi, similar to a certain [[Street Fighter|someone...]]
** In the opening scene, when Woody and Mrs. Potato Head are fighting atop a moving train, Woody lands with his heels over the edge of the end of the train, tries to regain his balance but falls backwards, and then lands safely on his horse ridden by his female friend. Replace "train" with "truck", "horse" with "car" and "Mrs. Potato Head" with "Agent", and you get what happened to Morpheus in The Matrix Reloaded.
Line 381:
'''Mr. Potato Head:''' This is the perfect time to be hysterical.
'''Rex:''' ''(hysterically)'' Should we be HYSTERICAL?!?
'''[[The Other Darrin|Slinky]]:''' No!
'''Mr. Potato Head:''' Yes!
'''Buzz:''' Maybe! But not right now! }}
* [[Three Amigos]]: Woody, Jessie and Buzz in young Andy's playtime imagination.
