Yeah, but look at the other toys at the front of the truck. He deserved a better defeat than what the film gave him. I know Lotso didn't kill anyone, but he lied in the worst manner possible and manipulated everyone just for his personal gain. Charles Muntz in Up was mainly trying to regain glory, and died in a gruesome manner. Sid, while a toy torturer, was really just a bratty kid with a lot of time on his hands, and he received a really bad punishment. I don't know, maybe it is just me, it's just that the film builds him up as being a really bad character yet doesn't go as far with his punishment. Basically, he hated toy owners, manipulated everyone he knew to believe that, and pretty much created a dictatorship to benefit himself and not others, and the WORST he gets is that he becomes a toy that is chained to a truck. I hate it because he didn't receive the proper resolution based on the actions he created. The other reason Toy Story 3 fails to click with me is Lotso. The scene at the furnace, while staged well, just seems to be designed to get people to CRY their hearts out (and it apparently worked). One poster here once said that emotions in a Pixar movie are like receiving a bat to the head, and this movie showcases why. Yet, the middle is what fails to "click" on me. It has an incredible opening that pays tribute to the movies that came before it, and a stunningly beautiful ending that closes the first half of the saga very well. In my opinion, Toy Story 3 is my least favorite of the Toy Story films. Which is still a great story, it just didn't allow much room for character development or individuality. TS3 is more about two main groups, Andys toys and the sunny side toys being pit against each other by one tyrannical leader. You got more intimate with the characters. I do prefer TS2 myself, but this is because it didn't have as many characters to juggle. All the pieces that had to go together to get woody to accept that His days with Andy were over, that it was time to move on. I'll admit there are some callbacks I would have rather they left out (namely music cues, and the use of the to infinity and beyond phrase) but overall it's the more nuanced story of the trilogy and that's what makes it tick. the prospector was never sold (to a kid), never opened, never played with. I'll assume your trying to compare him to the prospector? Lotso was owned, played with then lost.
