Although Woody is quite cold towards him, the other toys are delighted as they learn that Sunnyside never runs out of children to play with.

Once in Sunnyside Daycare, the toys are welcomed by Lots-O’-Huggin’ Bear and the other toys at Sunnyside. Woody, who tries to persuade them into coming back, follows them in a last attempt to clear their misconceptions but fails miserably. Like his mother, the toys too think that they were being thrown out, and decide to take matters into their own hands, climbing into a donation box destined for Sunnyside Daycare. However, his attention is suddenly diverted and he leaves them in the middle of the corridor, and his mother mistakenly throws the bag out. Andy puts them into a black plastic bag, to put it into the attic. The Army Men decide to leave and the toys decide to, as Woody puts it, “fulfill their responsibilities towards Andy”.

Shocked by the rejection, the toys are in complete disarray. He decides to take Woody, his favourite toy, and puts the other toys in a trash bag to be stored in the attic. With his toys abandoned through the passage of time and some of them sold off, the toys’ future looks bleak. While the film was divisive among critics, ‘Toy Story 3’ has since gone on to become one of the best animated films of all times.Īndy, now a 17-year-old young man, is heading to college.

In 2011, the company’s affiliate entered into a license agreement with Interactive Group for a bear product.Īccording to the lawsuit, “IG was fearful to use the ‘Lots of Hugs’ mark for the DLI licensed bear products in view of the worldwide success of the Toy Story 3 movie - fearing Disney and consumer confusion with Defendant ‘Lots-O’-Huggin” bear a/k/a ‘Lotso’ bear character if IG should market and sell ‘Lots of Hugs’ bears. In other words, the plaintiff implies that Disney respects the rights of Batman’s owner.ĭLI now claims that it has been experiencing harm from the film.

In the new lawsuit, DLI says that “Disney has aggressively enforced its various intellectual property rights” and points to past legal action taken jointly by Disney and DC Comics to protect Toy Story and Toy Story 2 movie characters. Not unlike last weekend’s big hit, The Lego Movie, Disney’s own movie featured animations of well-known toys including Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman figurines. Toy Story 3 was a smash Pixar sequel with more than $1 billion in worldwide box office. In other words, the plaintiff implies Disney knew about DLI’s intellectual property. According to the complaint ( read here), DLI licensed its “hugging technology” to a company affiliated with Disney for its sale of Jim Henson‘s “Bear in the Big Blue House” huggable stuffed bear product. Not only does DLI have trademarks, but the company has a registered patent as well. DLI asserts that it has been licensing its “Lots of Hugs” since 1995, including for use as a promotional Olympic Panda Bear for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China. The plaintiff is Diece-Lisa Industries, a New Jersey company that created the “Lots of Hugs” stuffed toy bears. PHOTOS: 35 of 2014’s Most Anticipated Movies
