Changes

In ''Toy Story 2'', while Andy is away at summer camp, Woody is stolen by a greedy toy collector and is tempted by the idea of being immortalized in a museum, only to be rescued by his friends and reminded of a toy's true purpose: for a child to play with it. Once again, the film positively portrays teamwork and family unity using a metaphor of unity between toys and their owners.

''Toy Story 3'' sees a nearly-grown Andy ready to leave for college and leave most of his toys except Woody in a garbage bag to be stored in his attic, but his mother mistakes it for a bag of real trash. Woody follows the toys as they make their way to a dreadful daycare center, unable to convince them of the misunderstanding. Nihilism and totalitarianism are portrayed in a strongly negative light in the form of Lotso the jealous teddy bear, who denounces all toys as being "destined for the scrapheap" and acts as a brutal dictator over the daycare toys.

It also was the third animated film ([[Beauty and the Beast]] and Up) to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars.

''Toy Story 4'', the final movie in the series, shows Woody taking on a guardian role for Bonnie's newly-made toy, Forky. When Forky gets lost, Woody finds him and tries to take him back home, but they end up at a carnival. There, Woody reunites with his lost love Bo Beep (who had been absent from the third movie and had run away) and has to make a choice: stay with Bo Peep at the carnival, or stick with his friends and Bonnie. Like with the other three films, this film shows family, friendship, and teamwork in a positive light.
