Before you think this is just some creepy place to hold somebody prisoner so they think they’re lost inside of a computer animated movie, this has all been done as part of a live-action, shot-for-shot recreation of Toy Story 3 with real toys and real people. And their recreation of Andy’s room will really play tricks on your mind.
Here are some prime examples of just how accurate the real life recreation of Andy’s room turned out, with the movie photos on top, and the real-life recreation just below their respective movie still:
Thanks to The AV Club for bringing these images from The Pixarist to our attention.

In addition, it also shows just how detailed and accurate this real life recreation from Morgan and Mason McGrew turned out.

Here’s what the creators of the live-action Toy Story 3 project have to say about its inception:
