I believe this movie has a few themes that are explained actively because it's quite obvious. By giving the little girl his toys that he loves so much and even playing with them one last time, Andy teaches us that good byes don't have to be band, and that the end of one adventure, can lead to a new just as great one. Andy isn't throwing his toys away, he's in fact giving them to someone whose just as creative and has a good heart.
Space in this scene helps explain the theme. They run around the yard, and use different places in the yard to play with the toys. It helps with the idea that you don't need a huge area to imagine being in one. Toy Story is a series that lets your imagination wonder, and this scene shows that off. Space off time is used in these scene as well. You can tell that time is passing, that Andy and the little girl are really playing with these toys, not just a few minutes. It feels as if Andy has spent a whole day with his toys. Movement is also used a lot, it's quick and swift. When playing with toys the plots and characters and worlds change a lot and this is shown off with the quick movements of the two characters running around with their toys. Contrast and Affinity are also used by Space and Movement in these scene. Andy is much taller, so his movement is quicker and much smoother (as he's been walking and playing much longer). Yet how the two play together is very similar and therefore shows the toys are being given to a good new person, their new journey will be a good one. it's a beautiful scene to end a great movie and even better series.
