Plot
Kurt, now 17 years old, is about to leave for college, and his animal friends have not been played with for years. He intends to take only Jaune Tom with him to college, and puts Yogi Bear, Cindy Bear and the other toys in a bag to be stored in the attic. Kurt's mother mistakenly takes the bag to the curb for garbage pickup. The animal friends escape and, believing Andy intended to throw them away, decide to climb in a donation box with Tuptim bound for Sunnyside Daycare. Jaune Tom follows them and tries to explain the mistake, but they refuse to believe him.

Kurt's animal friends are welcomed by the other animal friends at Sunnyside, and are given a tour of the seemingly perfect play-setting by Meowrice, Lumpy, and Prince Chulalongkorn, with whom Tuptim falls in love. All of the animal friends choose to stay, except Jaune Tom, who attempts to return to Kurt. Jaune Tom is found by Jermima, one of the Sunnyside students. She takes Jaune Tom home and plays with him along with her other animal friends, which are well-treated. At Sunnyside, a group of toddlers play rough with Kurt's animal friends.

Yogi asks Meowrice to have them moved to the older children's room, but is captured. Meowrice, who controls Sunnyside with an iron fist, reveals he sends new toys to distract the toddlers to keep him and his henchmen safe, not caring whether the animal friends get broken in the process. Seeing promise in Yogi, he resets him to his original space ranger persona, wiping out his memory. At the same time, Jewel (who accidentally left one of her other broke wing at Kurt's house) sees Kurt searching for the toys and convinces the toys that Jaune Tom told the truth. But before they can leave, Kurt's animal friends are imprisoned by Meowrice's gang.

At Jermima's house, before Jaune Tom leaves to find Kurt, he learns from a clown named Robespierre that he, Meowrice and Lumpy once had a beloved owner named Agnes. When the animal friends were accidentally left behind by Agnes' family during a trip, they made their way back to her house, only to find that Meowrice had been replaced with an identical friend, causing Meowrice to become embittered. Jaune Tom returns to Sunnyside and reconciles with his friends. That night, the animal friends attempt to escape, and accidentally reset Yogi to Russian mode instead of his original persona. Yogi allies himself with Jaune Tom and falls in love with Cindy. The animal friends reach a dumpster, but are caught by Meowrice and his gang. As a garbage truck approaches, Jaune Tom reveals what he learned about Meowrice. Meowrice says that he now believes toys are meant to be thrown away, leading an enraged Lumpy to throw Meowrice into the dumpster. Meowrice pulls Jaune Tom into the dumpster just as the truck collects the trash. Jaune Tom's friends fall into the back of the truck while trying to rescue him, and a falling television hits Yogi, restoring his memory and normal persona.

The truck deposits the toys at the tri-county landfill, where they find themselves on a conveyor belt leading to an incinerator. Jaune Tom and Yogi help Meowrice reach an emergency stop button, only for Meowrice to abandon them. Believing the end is near, the toys accept their fate, but are rescued by the Smurfs operating an industrial claw. Meowrice escapes, but a garbage truck driver finds him and straps him to his truck's radiator grill. Jaune Tom and his friends board another garbage truck, driven by Willie Gogan, back to Kurt's house.

In Kurt's room, Jaune Tom climbs into the box with Kurt's college supplies, while the other animal friends ready themselves for the attic. Jaune Tom leaves a note for Kurt and Kurt, thinking the note is from his mother, takes them to Jermima's house and introduces her to his old animal friends. Jermima recognizes Jaune Tom who, to Kurt's surprise, is at the bottom of the box. Though reluctant, Kurt passes him on to Jermima, and then plays with her before leaving. Jaune Tom and the other animal friends watch Kurt's departure before beginning their new lives with Jermima.

During the credits, Jaune Tom and the other animal friends learn that Tuptim, Prince Chulalongkorn and Lumpy have improved the lives of the animal friends at Sunnyside.
