Toy Box is a world in Kingdom Hearts III. It is based on the Pixar film series Toy Story.

Creation and development
The proposal folder shown to Buena Vista included plans for a world based on Toy Story in the original Kingdom Hearts.

Settings and Areas
Sora, Donald and Goofy first arrive in Andy's room from under his bed. They can go out the window and down the street to Galaxy Toys.

Galaxy Toys is a toy store which has rails leading to the different floors. Sora can access some stores through the ventilation system.

Story
Rex and Hamm watch a commercial of Verum Rex where Woody turns it off afterward, Heartless suddenly appear in Andy's room and the toys prepare to attack. At the same time, Sora, Donald and Goofy arrive in their new forms and they take care of the Heartless. The toys then meet the trio and Rex mistakenly confuses Sora for Yozora from Verum Rex and talks about playing his game. After everyone introduces themselves, Woody explains that it wasn't always lonely and that there were more toys and Andy hasn't come home in ages. Sora, Donald and Goofy decide to investigate the case and Buzz tells them that a man in a black coat also came with the Heartless. The trio decides to team up with Buzz and Woody to locate the missing toys and a pointer from Sarge leads the gang to Galaxy Toys. Before setting off, Buzz grows skeptical and suggests waiting for Andy but Woody assures him that they tried waiting and that Sora Donald and Goofy might be of help.
