A Texas family documented the moment when their son graduated high school and is ready to transition to college in a way that, if anyone has seen “Toy Story 3,” will necessitate a box of Kleenex.

Josiah Robles graduated last month from Somerset High School in Somerset, Texas, Gray News reported.

His mother decided to recreate the end of “Toy Story 3,” the one where Andy leaves his childhood toys, and friends, Buzz, Woody and the gang behind, giving them to a little girl to take care of.

She was inspired by a similar Facebook post, Josiah told My San Antonio.

Josiah stands in for Andy but all the toys are lined up to say goodbye as Josiah prepares for college.

It was more than just the toys, though.

“‘Toy Story’ was really my childhood go-to movie,” Josiah told My San Antonio. “I had no problem watching it 24/7.”
