Plot
In 2024, a witch named Killer de la Witch arrives to kill John, but retreats and decides to make a new plan to kill John and everything he loves, which destroys most of Toytown (with the exception of the Toytown Museum, the field, and John's apartment).

Years later, Toytown has been turned into an apocalyptic wasteland called "Toy Apocalypse", where everyone has been toughened and hardened, making them ready for more fighting. John and Claire even have a daughter named Rebecca, whose best friend is a puffin named Puff. Despite Claire's statements that he has to toughen himself, John still pretends there is still peace and is troubled by a nightmare of a monster named Dramonster. Suddenly, de la Witch reveals that she had come from five years ago and chases the citizens aboard Dramonster, but is stopped by a wizard named Wizzy who leads John, Claire, Springall, Rebecca, Puff, and their troopers to his spell room.

Meanwhile, John concocts an idea to destroy de la Witch, take down her lair, and restore harmony to Toytown. Wizzy gives John new skills, such as strength, and power, aspiring the gang travel beyond Toytown. Along the way they meet Eddie the elephant, Neighton the horse, and two beavers named George and Gordon in their home. Just then, De La Witch bursts in and destroys the two beavers's home. John teaches everyone how to be tough. Once John sneaks in De La Witch's lair, De La Witch and Dramonster kidnap Rebecca, knock John and Claire into the Pit of Despair and head on a plane to Toy Apocalypse. John and Claire attempt to escape. Claire jumps off the flying broom to allow John to escape, then dies.

John jumps towards de la Witch's plane. In anger, De La Witch trys to weaken John, but he remembers the moves Wizzy taught him, and he angrily throws de la Witch and Dramonster off the plane, and they fall to their deaths. John manages to rescue Rebecca, and they leap off the falling plane. With De La Witch and Dramonster defeated, Eddie is accepted as a new member of the team, all the peace and harmony in Toytown is restored. John passes his leadership to Rebecca and bids a heartfelt farewell to his friends. John, Wizzy, Neighton, George, and Gordon begin a new worldwide traveling life together as the film ends.

In the epilogue, John, Wizzy, George, Gordon, and Neighton dedicate themselves to helping toys around the world. In a post-credits scene, John sings a cover the Sister Sledge song, "We Are Family", rickrolling the audience.
