8 Movies That Completely Ignored Important Plot Points

8. Toy Story 3 - Buzz And The Monkey

Pixar's excellent long-awaited threequel finds Woody, Buzz and the rest of the sentient toys languishing in the local daycare centre.

At night, Buzz has a sneak around the place and ends up following a group of rival toys into a makeshift casino atop a vending machine, where he learns that the centre may have a more sinister underbelly than its warm, welcoming exterior would indicate.

He's right of course, and the daycare toys quickly capture him and hilariously adjust his language settings. But the movie actually forgot that the entire sequence of events that led to Buzz finding the secret gambling room should never have happened in the first place.

Why? Here's why...

We later find out that the daycare centre is stuffed with CCTV cameras, and that - at night - an annoying, cymbal-clapping monkey watches over them. The plot makes this out to be a very big deal, and it's the biggest obstacle in the way of Woody and co. escaping and returning home.

So really, Buzz should have been spotted the moment he left the Caterpillar Room and began wandering the halls, but Pixar seemingly ignored the monkey just so the story could keep moving.
