This is a list of characters from the animated films Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and Toy Story 3.

Characters

Andy's room

This section contains the most prominent toy characters in the Toy Story films.

Sheriff Woody

Sheriff Woody Pride[1][2] is an old-fashioned pull-string stuffed cowboy doll with plastic head and hands and is the main protagonist of the films. He is Andy's favorite toy since kindergarten, with a special spot on the bed. He is the leader of the toys. In Toy Story 2 it is revealed that he is based on the main character from a 1950s popular TV Show, "Woody's Roundup". He is voiced by Tom Hanks in the three films and by his brother Jim Hanks on other occasions. Woody is inspired by executive producer John Lasseter's favorite childhood toy, a pull-string Casper the Friendly Ghost talking doll. Pixar Animator/Director Bud Luckey designed the character and came up with the idea of making him a cowboy toy.

Buzz Lightyear

Buzz Lightyear was first seen on Toy Story as a birthday gift for Andy. At this time, Buzz does not realize that he is a toy, believing himself to be the real Buzz Lightyear. (The reason for this is implied in the first film, and clarified in the second: He was placed in hypersleep before going on his mission, for example, being inserted in the display carton. All Buzz Lightyear toys are similarly unaware.) He also thinks that all of his equipment is fully functional, not realizing that his communicator is a sticker, his laser is an LED, etc. This belief causes friction between Buzz and Woody, Andy's previous favorite toy. The other toys in Andy's room are attracted by Buzz's doo-dads and gung-ho attitude, but Woody becomes increasingly jealous and contrives to cause Buzz to fall behind Andy's desk. Instead, Buzz falls out of the window and is thought to be lost. During this period, Buzz manages to survive and save Woody numerous times due to the fact that he still believes that he is a space ranger. Using both stealth and agility, he manages to get through all challenges with Woody until he learns the truth. Eventually Buzz and Woody meet up and through a series of incidents, Buzz comes first to realize that he is, in fact, a toy. He learns this when he sees a Buzz Lightyear Action Figure TV commercial then attempts to fly out the window of toy-destroying child Sid's house, only to fall and break his left arm off in the process. At first, he has a nervous breakdown and falls into depression after learning the truth, but with encouragement from Woody, he gradually comes to accept the situation (being loved by Andy). He teams up with Woody to escape Sid, and together, they are able to reunite with Andy and the other toys. He is in a relationship with Jessie. He is voiced by Tim Allen in all three movies.

Jessie

Jessie is a character in Toy Story 2, voiced by Joan Cusack (yodeling by Mary Kay Bergman). In the movie, she is modeled after a character on the fictional television show Woody's Roundup, whose characters include Sheriff Woody, Jessie, Stinky Pete the Prospector, and Bullseye, Woody's horse. Jessie is essentially a female counterpart to Woody, except that she is much more excitable than him. Her trademarks are her red hair, green eyes and her tendency to yodel when she's excited or happy. Her hair is in the style of a ponytail braid with a yellow bow decoration on the tip.

Rex

Rex, often known as Rex the Dinosaur, is a large, green, plastic Tyrannosaurus rex who suffers from anxiety, an inferiority complex ("I just don't think I could take that kind of rejection!"), and the concern that he is not scary enough. Rex's worst fear (after Sid) is that Andy will gain another, scarier dinosaur, but feels better after Buzz gives him a few pointers on how to roar more effectively. He is voiced by Wallace Shawn and by Earl Boen in the Toy Story 2 video game.

In Toy Story, he states that he was manufactured by a subsidiary of Mattel (coincidentally, real-life Rex toys used to be made by Hasbro, but as of 2009 are indeed made by Mattel). In the same film, he seems to know that Woody knocked Buzz out the the window by accident, yet he sides against him. Feeling guilty, he is unhappy about Woody's disappearance and later vomits when he sees Buzz's broken arm.

The beginning of Toy Story 2, he is shown playing the "Buzz Lightyear: Attack on Zurg" video game, which terminates with Buzz being destroyed by Emperor Zurg, much to Rex's frustration. Nevertheless, thinking his video game experiences have prepared him for real combat, Rex accompanies Buzz, Potato Head, Hamm, and Slinky on their mission to rescue Woody after he is stolen by Al McWhiggin of Al's Toy Barn. When the toys enter Al's Toy Barn, Rex excitedly finds a "Buzz Lightyear" video game strategy guide, only to lose it soon after. In spite of that he is able to give Buzz (the toys take a "Bonus Belt" Buzz instead) pointers from information he has acquired from the manual. At one point, he parodies a scene from Jurassic Park by chasing after the car that the toys drive in Al's Toy Barn, in which Mr. Potato Head spots his reflection in a rear view mirror. Rex is considered to be the heaviest of Andy's toys when he loses his grip on the new Buzz's utility line and pushes the toys to the bottom, causing the new Buzz's strength to give out. Later, Buzz #2 and the toys use Rex as a battering ram to break into Al's apartment. When the toys go down the elevator after Al leaves the room with Woody and the Roundup gang, he witnesses the duel between Buzz #2 and an Emperor Zurg action figure. When Zurg is about to finish Buzz #2 off, he turns away, not bearing to look anymore, but his tail knocks Zurg down the elevator shaft, making him feel overjoyed about finally defeating Zurg, but only for real.

In Toy Story 3, he was seen to be especially sad about Andy's lack of attention to the toys, expressing joy when Andy held him for a few moments. He is ultimately responsible for saving the toys' lives, when Buzz uses his tail to tear out of a garbage bag they were about to be crushed in by a garbage truck. When the toys are donated to Sunnyside daycare, Rex's tail is broken off by the abusive toddlers they are played with (this is quickly repaired). Rex comments, "Andy never played with us like that!" Just as in Toy Story 2, he is depicted as the heaviest of Andy's toys, as his weight combined with Hamm's was enough to prevent a reset Buzz from escaping a box they sat upon. At the garbage dump, Rex was the last to escape the shredder, and barely escaped it by grabbing onto a larger piece of metal than the other toys did to survive. He was seen to be the most horrified at their apparently imminent death in an incinerator, and was also the most solemn about their fate. However, Rex is saved by the alien toys commandeering a huge claw. The toys are finally given to a girl named Bonnie, and Rex becomes close friends with Trixe the Triceratops, who he plays computer games with and is seen together with often.

Rex is based on the Tyrannosaurus toy from the Dinoriders toyline. In an outtake of Toy Story 2, the toys use him as a battering ram, only for Rex to hurt his head when banged against the locked grate. Rex makes a cameo in an outtake of Monsters, Inc. where he waits at the crosswalk with Mike and Sulley who both are smaller than him. Rex is a playable character on the Toy Story Racer Video Game. In the movie Wall-E, Rex is seen in the background inside the truck.

Hamm

Hamm, often known as Hamm the Piggy Bank, is a wise-cracking talking plastic piggy bank with a cork in his belly. He and Mr. Potato Head appear to be best friends, as they are often seen playing games and clapping hands with each other whenever something spectacular happens. Also, Hamm takes a dislike to the chicken mascot of Al's Toy Barn, especially when he later realizes that Al McWhiggin, the mascot and owner of Al's Toy Barn, as well as the crooked yard sale customer who stole Woody, are the same man.

In Toy Story 2, after Woody is stolen, he and Potato Head set up a crime scene to present Woody's kidnapping to the other toys but Rex accidentally destroys their presentation. After helping the toys find the Al's Toy Barn commercial on TV, Hamm, along with Buzz, Potato Head, Rex, and Slinky go on a mission to rescue Woody. It is during that mission when he displays embarrassment after his cork falls out, he requests no one to look until he gets it back in. The following day, he is the first to spot Al's Toy Barn right across the street. During their search in the toy store, Hamm spots a group of Barbie dolls having a party and asks them where to find the owner of Al's Toy Barn. When Tour Guide Barbie drives the toys into the Buzz Lightyear aisle, Hamm spots a "Bonus Belt" Buzz, thinking he is Andy's Buzz (but later, the toys are able to rejoin with the "true" Buzz). When the toys break into Al's apartment, Hamm knocks down the box with the prospector inside to "You heard the kung fu? Well, get ready for pork chop!". After the toys return home, Hamm attempts to beat a "Buzz Lightyear: Attack on Zurg" video game that is previously tried by Rex and asks if he can play for him, but Rex doesn't want to play after he defeated Zurg in the elevator, causing Hamm to lose and gets angry at Rex. He sees a sobbing Al on TV about how he lost his money, which makes Hamm happy. His voice is performed by John Ratzenberger in many occasions and by Andrew Stanton in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins.

In Toy Story 3, Hamm is as angry as the other toys when it seemed Andy abandoned them. He is still as tech-savvy as ever in the film, and identifies several types of garbage bags, locks, and windows. He helps Rex trap Buzz when the latter is reset to his 'Space Ranger' persona, and instructs the toys on how to set Buzz back to normal. When the toys are nearly killed in an incinerator because of Lotso's betrayal, Hamm wishes for revenge on the bear for leaving them to die. He is donated to Bonnie, a little girl who owned Woody for a short time.

In a 2010 advertisement for the United States Postal Service featuring the Toy Story characters, Hamm wears a postal worker's hat while promoting the Priority Mail service, likely as a homage to Ratzenberger's famous role of mail carrier Cliff Clavin on the sitcom Cheers.

Slinky Dog

Slinky Dog, also known as Slinky or Slink, is a toy dachshund with a metal slinky for a mid-section, who speaks with a southern accent.

In the first two films, he is voiced by the late Jim Varney. In the third film, he is voiced by Blake Clark. In Toy Story Racer, he is voiced by Darryl Kurylo.

Slinky Dog is based on Slinky, a pull toy by James Industries, which was popular in the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s. With the permission of James Industries, Slinky Dog was redesigned for the film by Pixar artist Bud Luckey to make him more appealing as an animated character.

In Toy Story, he likes playing checkers with Woody. He is also one of the toys who believes it was an accident when Woody knocks Buzz out Andy's window. He is not happy about Woody's disappearance. He catches the lights when Woody calls them in the window until a grumpy Mr. Potato Head snatches it. He then goes away when seeing Buzz's arm by closing the curtains of Andy's window. He is also guilty when he see Woody telling the truth and holds onto Woody in order to help them, but when RC is tired, he loses his grip on Woody and gets stretched out and his slink is broken when they dodge as RC is tossed because his head and hind are in both sides as they pull it backwards, his slink is destroyed, until it is fixed at the end of the film.

In the beginning of Toy Story 2, Slinky is the one who finds Woody's hat, which he describes as the "good news," but describes the "bad news" as where he has found the hat. After Woody is stolen by Al McWhiggin of Al's Toy Barn, Slinky joins Buzz, Hamm, Mr. Potato Head and Rex on a mission to rescue Woody. His springy coil is used as a bun-gee cord when the toys jump from the roof of Andy's house. When the toys break into Al's apartment, Slinky uses his string to hold Jessie and Bullseye back by coiling them up so the toys can safely rescue Woody. After Al packs Woody and his Roundup gang and heads for the airport, Slinky, suspended from the elevator ceiling by Buzz, Hamm and Potato Head (while Rex watches the duel between Buzz #2 and Zurg), reaches for the case that contains Woody. Just as he opens the case and grabs Woody's hand, the elevator reaches the lobby and Al walks out, causing Slinky to stretch out until the Prospector pulls Woody back into the case, causing Slinky to lose his grip on Woody and rebound. When the toys carjack a Pizza Planet delivery truck, Slinky controls the pedals of the vehicle. At the airport, Slinky assists Buzz when the toys split into groups, but his hind-body gets hooked onto a luggage handle behind him and is unable to follow Buzz as he once again gets stretched out; nevertheless, he manages to catch up with Buzz and the other toys as they capture the vile Prospector. After the toys return home, he is seen alongside Buster barking at the door and calls to the toys to help the dog exit the room (done by Jessie). In an outtake, Slinky is seen caressing his hind-body after catching up with the group.

In Toy Story 3, Slinky is still very loyal to his friends, but is heartbroken when he believes he and the other toys are thrown out by Andy. At Sunnyside daycare, he is seen being tangled up constantly by the young children, and is easily dispatched by Lotso's gang and imprisoned. He is seen to be the happiest toy to see Woody return, and helps his best friend subdue the Monkey toy who monitors the security cameras. When the toys end up in the junkyard, Slinky is the first to be sucked up by a magnetic ceiling due to his metallic rings in his body. When the toys are rescued from death by an incinerator, he is the most vocal about wanting to get revenge on Lotso for leaving them to die. He and the other toys are eventually donated to Bonnie, a little girl who took Woody home earlier in the film.

Mr. Potato Head

Mr. Potato Head (often referred to as simply Potato Head) is a moody Mr. Potato Head doll by Playskool. He is outspoken, sarcastic, wisecracking, sometimes dumb, hot-headed and jealous. A potato-shaped toy, his patented design allows him to separate his detachable parts from his body by removing them from the holes on his body. He also has a compartment on his lower back to store extra appendages. For unknown reasons, he is the only toy shown to be capable of retaining control over his parts even if they are several centimeters/inches away from his main body. For example, he can still see if his detachable eyes are removed, as well as being able to move his hands if they are detached. The same thing applies to his "Mrs." counterpart. While this attribute is mostly used for comedic effect (i.e. as a running gag, he often finds himself being split or falling apart due to outside forces), it does have its uses, particularly in the 2nd and 3rd films

In Toy Story, when he becomes fascinated with all the features of the Buzz Lightyear action figure that Andy has received for his birthday, Potato Head also makes fun of Woody for not having a laser like Buzz and by describing Woody's sampled voice "like a car ran over it." After Buzz is knocked out of the window, Potato Head is quick to accuse Woody of being a jealous "toy-killer," thinking that Woody might do the same to him if Andy plays with him more often, and leads a mutiny with the other toys. As Andy is looking for Buzz, Potato Head whistles at Woody, holding Etch and it means that Potato Head will choke him and kill him. He is somewhat happy when he learns about Woody's disappearance, as he admits Woody's guilt in the window incident. Later, Woody throws a string of Christmas lights from Sid's house to Andy's house; Slinky catches it, but Potato Head snatches it away and calls Woody a liar. Woody then tries to convince the toys to let him get back by pretending that Buzz is with him, but Mr. Potato Head remains suspicious of what Woody is actually doing. When Woody blows away the cover by exposing Buzz's severed arm, Potato Head furiously labels him a "murdering dog" as the toys back away from the window, leaving Woody depressed and stranded in Sid's house. During the move to Andy's new house, after Woody tosses RC onto the street to rescue Buzz, Potato Head orders the other toys to "toss him overboard;" however, when Bo Peep reveals that "Woody was telling the truth," all of the toys are guilty for their misunderstanding, especially Potato Head for having Woody thrown off. He holds Slinky's tail to help Woody back at the truck. He was hit by Slinky after he loses his grip on Woody. When Woody tosses RC in the truck, all of the toys dodge, but Potato Head was hit and crushed by RC. At the end of the film, he is surprised to hear Molly receiving Mrs. Potato Head for her Christmas present.

In Toy Story 2, after Al McWhiggin of Al's Toy Barn steals Woody, he is shown in a much more positive light by going on a mission with Buzz, Hamm, Rex, and Slinky to rescue Woody. When he finds out that Al is the man who stole Woody and also is the guy who wears the chicken suit, he is shocked. Later, when they are going to leave, Mrs. Potato Head packs some extra pair of shoes and angry eyes on his back compartment. At one point, when the toys are reprimanded by Buzz for requesting a rest, Buzz mentions the time when Potato Head has ordered Woody to be thrown out of the moving van in the first film, and Potato Head is shown to still be regretting this greatly, even though amends have already been made. When the toys cross the street to Al's Toy Barn, they cause a semi to jackknife, and the chains restraining a large pipe on the semi break, freeing the pipe, which rolls down the street, during which Mr. Potato Head gets one of his feet stuck in a chewing gum and has to pull his foot off the gum before the pipe can crush him. When the toys search Al's Toy Barn, Potato Head takes the wheel of the car that Hamm has been driving, but when Tour Guide Barbie hops into the car, Potato Head remarks "I'm a married spud," making him and Hamm exchange seats. After the toys break into Al's room, Potato Head attempts to frighten Jessie by reaching into his back compartment for his angry eyes, but attaches his spare pair of shoes by mistake. When the toys leave the apartment after Al leaves with Woody, Potato Head throws his hat like a frisbee to jam the closing doors, letting the toys pass through. Outside, he is the first to spot an idling Pizza Planet delivery truck nearby. While the toys chase Al in the truck, Potato Head saves three alien toys from flying out the window. In the airport, when he sees the luggage area, he gasps and his angry eyes and pair of shoes come out after his compartment opens. He initially feels annoyed when the aliens repeatedly express their eternal gratefulness towards him, but after the toys return home, he reluctantly gives in to his wife's decision to adopt the aliens as their children. In the outtakes, Mrs. Potato Head is shown packing a lot of things behind Mr. Potato Head's compartment. In the last outtake, Mrs. Potato Head puts monkey chow and says "Come here, monkeys." and they are harassing Mr. Potato Head, Mr. Potato Head tells the crew to call his agent.

In Toy Story 3, he is seen to be still resentful of the aliens as his children, who still worship him for saving their lives. Again, Potato Head is the most doubtful toy of Woody when he and the other toys are almost thrown away. When Lotso's true colors are revealed, he is the most vocal critic, and tries to defend his friends and wife from Lotso. However, Lotso has him thrown into a sandbox overnight to "learn some manners" by Big Baby. When Woody returns to Sunnyside with an escape plan, he acts as a signal to the other toys and purposely gets himself back in the box. His body parts separate from his body, and use a tortilla as a body. However, the tortilla is eaten by a bird, so Potato Head uses a cucumber instead. He remarked he felt terrible feeling so fresh and healthy in his vegetable body. The aliens return to him his body, but the toys end up in a landfill, facing death at the hands of an incinerator. Potato Head and the toys are saved by his children, who he finally accepts as his true children, and declares himself to be eternally grateful, just as the aliens had told him when they met. When the toys are donated to Bonnie, he is seen being pestered by the Peas in a Pod.

He is seen as an Interactive Audio-Animatronic at Toy Story Midway Mania!. He is voiced by Don Rickles and by Kenneth Mars in one of the video games. His attitude is based after Norm Norman therefore Hamm and him are like Norm and Cliff.

Mrs. Potato Head

Mrs. Potato Head is Mr. Potato Head's wife and female counterpart. Although mentioned as one of Molly's Christmas presents near the end of the first movie, she isn't seen until Toy Story 2. At the beginning of the film, her husband has found her lost earring. Before her husband leaves with Buzz and his troops, she stores his "extra pair of shoes and angry eyes" into his back compartment. She also warns the toys by saying "Don't talk to any toy you don't know!". At the end of the film, Mrs. Potato Head and her husband become adoptive parents of the three Squeeze Toy Aliens that Andy's toys has found in the Pizza Planet truck, rescued, and brought home.

At the start of Toy Story 3, she has lost one of her eyes and keeps searching for it as the toys are taken to Sunnyside Daycare. The missing eye, which turns out to still be in Andy's room, allows her to see occasional flashes of what is going on in the house. As a result, she learns that it truly was an accident that the toys were almost thrown out and persuades the others that Woody was telling the truth in this respect. She is saved from death in an incinerator by her children, and much to her delight, her husband finally accepts the Aliens as their children. She recovers her missing eye before she and the toys are donated to Bonnie. She is voiced by Estelle Harris. The outtakes show Mrs. Potato Head overloading her husband's back compartment with several unnecessary appendages, including cheese puffs, a key, a golf ball, a plastic steak, a rubber ducky, a yo-yo, a bouncy ball, wind-up novelty teeth, two yellow crayons, blue Play-Doh, a dime, and monkey chow.

Bo Peep

Bo Peep is a sweet and lovable porcelain shepherdess figurine. Bo Peep and her sheep are adornments of Molly's bedside lamp. She is inspired by the character of the classic children's nursery rhyme, Little Bo-Peep. Bo is sometimes considered to be "Andy's toy", because Andy likes to make her the damsel in distress in his plays. Bo is the romantic interest (later girlfriend) of Woody, providing a calm and loving comfort whenever he is overwhelmed. She is noted for using her shepherdess crook to hook her cowboy and bring him closer in a romantic way. In private, she is a great deal more daring and seductive with her words and actions, which Woody seems to be quite fond of. She seems to have faith in Woody, which is shown when she assures him that Andy, who is excited to have Buzz Lightyear, will still have a special place for him and that whether if Woody has his hat or not, Andy will still take him out to Cowboy Camp. In Toy Story, she is one of the very few toys in Andy's room who believed that Woody would not intentionally harm Buzz when he accidentally pushed him out of the window. She is shown to be shocked upon hearing about Woody's disappearance when Andy comes back home from Pizza Planet. On the night before the moving day, Bo Peep is shown to be worried about Woody when she sees a sad Andy sleeping. Later, after witnessing Woody being thrown out of the moving truck under Mr. Potato Head's orders, Bo Peep helps the toys realize that "Woody was telling the truth," and the toys brighten up. In the end of Toy Story Bo Peep and Woody kiss under a mistletoe. In Toy Story 2, she is shown feeling devastated after Al McWhiggin of Al's Toy Barn steals Woody. When Buzz plans a rescue, Bo Peep gives Buzz a kiss (intended for Woody when Buzz finds him) and waves goodbye to Buzz and the other toys, wishing them good luck, as they leave on their mission to rescue Woody. After the toys return home, Woody shows her his arm fixed by Andy himself, which she greatly admires. Finally, she and Woody are seen together with Buzz and Jessie as they enjoy watching Wheezy sing "You've Got a Friend in Me." In Toy Story 3, Bo Peep only appeared in the flashback footage of Andy as a kid. It was also mentioned that she was given away or sold at a yard sale between the two films and Woody is visibly saddened when her name is mentioned.

She is voiced by Annie Potts in Toy Story and Toy Story 2 (plus the video game for the film). She is voiced by many other voice actors in her other appearances.

Bo Peep's Sheep

Bo Peep's Sheep are porcelain sheep, joined together and sometimes mistakenly believed to be a single sheep with three heads. They enjoy causing mischief, such as pulling the video game remote from Rex in Toy Story 2. When they cause mischief, they can only be stopped by their shepherdess, Bo Peep. Though they are strictly side characters, they can be seen in the Toy Story Mania game for the Wii.

Bullseye

Bullseye (also known as Bullseye the Horse) is a non-speaking character in Toy Story 2. In the film, he is a toy modeled after a character on the fictional television show Woody's Roundup, where the characters consisted of Sheriff Woody, Jessie, Stinky Pete the Prospector, and Bullseye, who is Woody's horse. Both the Bullseye of the television show and the toy are fiercely loyal and obedient to Woody. The theme song of the show is playing on the record player when Bullseye jumps onto the disc while attempting to catch a toy snake fired from a toy boot by Woody. Bullseye is shown to loathe fights as he hides in a can when Jessie jumps on Woody. He is also upset at Woody's intention to abandon the Roundup gang to return to Andy, but grins when Woody decides to stay with the gang. When Woody ultimately decides to return to Andy's room, it is Bullseye's loyalty that causes Woody to try to get the other toys to join him. At the airport, after Bullseye escapes from Al's case, Woody and Buzz Lightyear mount Bullseye and gallop across the airfield to rescue Jessie from being sent to Japan. Although Woody gets separated from Buzz, Buzz commandeers Bullseye to follow Woody, as they are seen galloping next to the wheels of the plane Woody and Jessie are on as it heads down the runway. The mission finally ends when Woody and Jessie swing down from the plane and land on Bullseye's back right behind Buzz, seconds before the plane takes off. After the toys return home, both Bullseye Jessie come along as part of Andy's toys. Bullseye has every letter of Andy's name printed on the sole of each of his hooves.

Bullseye returns in Toy Story 3 as one of the remaining toys in Andy's room. At Sunnyside daycare, he proved his loyalty to Woody when he made clear he wanted to stay with him; but he only stayed when Woody told him to stay since Woody didn't want him to be alone in the attic. He helps with the toys' escape, and at the garbage dump was seen to be the most desperate to escape the incinerator. He is donated to Bonnie at the film's end.

Bullseye acts like a dog in many ways. Unlike most of the other toys, Bullseye cannot communicate in clear speech but sounds like an actual horse, and uses "body language" to "speak". According to a character interview that used to be up on the early 90's Toy Story website, Bullseye communicated with Jessie while in storage by tapping his hooves to yes or no questions.

Squeeze Toy Aliens

Squeeze Toy Aliens a.k.a. the LGMs (Little Green Men) are a bunch of three-eyed space aliens voiced by Jeff Pidgeon. They appear to be promotional toys for Pizza Planet, as they wear uniforms with the restaurant's logo. In the original film, these identical toys are prizes in a game of skill at the Pizza Planet restaurant and each one believes that "The Claw" will somehow choose one of them to "go on to a better place." In the sequel, three of these toys are found in a Pizza Planet truck that the toys hijack to chase Al to the airport. During the pursuit, they almost get blown out of the open window, but are rescued by Mr. Potato Head and become attached to him. Their unison catchphase is "You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful." After the toys return to Andy's room, Mrs. Potato Head, hearing that her husband has saved the aliens, chooses to adopt them, much to his dismay and they are also one of Andy's new toys. These same three aliens also appear in Toy Story 3. Set for storage, they end up in Sunnyside Day Care, along with the other toys. After experiencing torment from the young children, they and the other toys escape, only to end up in the city dump. Just as they other toys were about to be incinerated, they use a crane to save them all, declaring "The Claw!". After this, Mr. Potato Head tells them, "You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful" (the same thing the aliens told him when he saved their lives) and finally accepts him as his true children. In the credits, one of these toys play the role of Juliet Capulet while Mr. Pricklepants plays the role of Romeo Montague in their version of Romeo and Juliet.

They also appear in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins and the subsequent Buzz Lightyear of Star Command television program. In this series they are an actual alien race and are employed by Star Command as scientists and inventors. They are called "Little Green Men" or "L.G.M." for short. A Squeeze Toy Alien is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer video game under the name "Little Green Man". They also are seen at Disneyland's Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters.

Barbie

Barbie is a smooth-talking Barbie doll who is also Molly's doll. Many Barbie dolls appeared in the previous films, but one Barbie is a protagonist in the third film. She has a ponytail decorated in a pink scarf with a matching belt around her waist and the same color of high heel shoes on her feet and wears a turquoise sleeveless unitard with striped legwarmers. Throughout the film, she falls in love with Ken. However, a problem is Barbie is a protagonist and Ken is an antagonist. But by the end of the film, things eventually work out between the two, and they become co-leaders of Sunnyside. She resembles a real doll from 1983 called Great Shape Barbie.[3] She is voiced by Jodi Benson.

Sarge and the Bucket 'O' Soldiers

Sarge, also known as Army Sarge and Sergeant, is the gung-ho commander of an army of plastic toy soldiers from Bucket O Soldiers, voiced by R. Lee Ermey and loosely based on Ermey's role as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket. He and the Bucket 'O' Soldiers are set in particular positions. They are highly disciplined with a "Leave no man behind" policy and are masters of reconnaissance. Woody describes them as "professionals." Sarge and his soldiers go on missions to help Andy's toys check up on Andy's activities with his friends or family. Sarge himself stays behind, at great risk, to save one of his men that Mrs. Davis accidentally steps on. Sarge and his troops frequently help out their fellow toys. With their assistance, the toys discover what presents Andy and Molly are getting on birthdays and Christmas. At the beginning of Toy Story, the soldiers venture out of Andy's room and hide in an indoor plant to report Andy's birthday presents to the toys and one of his comrades were injured after Mrs. Davis accidentally steps on one of them. After Woody knocks Buzz out the window, Sarge rants at Woody furiously and calls him a dirtbag, knowing he's not a worthy captain, and later, both he and the other Green Army Men jump up on Woody's body and "frag" him. However, for Woody's deeds in helping save Buzz, Sarge is proud to work under Woody once again, as shown at the end of the film when they hide in a Christmas tree to report to the toys what Andy and Molly are getting for Christmas. In Toy Story 2, Sarge orders the soldiers to hold back the door (with help from Rocky) to prevent Buster's entry, but Buster bursts open the door, causing the soldiers to go flying. When Woody alerts the toys about the yard sale occurring outside the house, he signals Sarge for an "emergency roll call" and Sarge orders the toys to line up in a single-file line. In Toy Story 3. Sarge and his last two men (Who have attached parachutes) leave Andy's room to find a better life claiming "the mission is complete." Sarge and his two men settle in Sunnyside at the end of the movie.

RC

RC is Andy's remote controlled car. He has a green body with blue splash decals on the front. RC speaks in "whirring" sounds (he can't talk, but Potato Head can perfectly understand his motor sounds). In Toy Story, Woody uses RC in his attempt to push Buzz into a gap between the edge of the table and the wall. He uses RC again to rescue Buzz during the moving scene at the end of the film. After the toys, mistakenly believing that Woody is trying to get rid of RC, toss Woody out of the moving truck, Woody ends up on RC with Buzz and switches the remote to turbo mode to catch up with the truck, but its batteries deplete, causing RC to slow down to a stop. When Woody lights up the rocket taped onto Buzz's back, Woody and Buzz hold onto RC as they rocket toward the truck, but the force of the rocket lifts Woody up from RC. Nevertheless, Woody manages to toss RC back into the truck before he and Buzz go skyrocketing into the air. RC stands for "Radio Controlled". RC is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer Video Game. One odd tidbit about RC is that though his remote was supposedly lost when Woody and Buzz dropped it on the road to the move; in Toy Story 2, Andy still has the remote, and uses RC as a launch vehicle while playing. Perhaps his remote was tossed into the moving truck unseen along with RC, perhaps Andy had a spare remote, or perhaps somebody found it on the street and returned it to Andy. He is unable to control himself when someone is using his remote.

Lenny

Lenny, often known as Lenny the Binoculars, is a pair of binoculars with feet. He is used as binoculars by the other toys in various situations and is talkative when he warns the toys what he sees on his watch. In Toy Story, Buzz uses Lenny when watching Sid and his dog Scud mess around in their backyard, and Lenny warns the toys to "hit the dirt" when he sees Sid light up the fuse on the Combat Carl toy. During the moving scene, Lenny warns the toys when he sees Woody riding on RC with Buzz and approaching the truck, and Bo Peep uses him to get a closer look. He warns the toys again when Woody and Buzz approach the truck fast by Sid's rocket taped to Buzz's back. In Toy Story 2, Buzz uses Lenny to keep watch on Woody during the events at the yard sale until Al McWhiggin of Al's Toy Barn steals Woody. Lenny does not make an appearance in Toy Story 3, for he was most likely sold in a yard sale just like Bo Peep, although he appears via archive footage. Lenny is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer video game.

In an outtake, it was revealed that Lenny had left two black outlined circles on Buzz's helmet (which Buzz accused Woody for doing so).

Lenny was voiced by Joe Ranft.

Wheezy

Wheezy, often known as Wheezy the Penguin, is a rubber squeeze toy penguin with a red bow tie. He is voiced by the late Joe Ranft.

Woody found Wheezy after Andy's mom puts him on the shelf in Toy Story 2. He was about to be sold because his "squeaker" was broken, but Woody rescues him from the yard sale, only to be left behind and subsequently stolen by Al. When Buzz Lightyear plans a rescue, Wheezy, held by Rocky and Rock'N Robot, begs Buzz to rescue Woody. While held by Rocky, Wheezy waves goodbye to Buzz and his rescue troops as they leave on their mission. At the end of the film, he gets a new "squeaker" (he credits Mr. Shark for his contribution) and sings the ending theme of the movie, with his singing voice provided by Robert Goulet.

In one outtake, when the microphone thrown by Mr. Mike strikes Wheezy, Wheezy apologizes for "hurting" his equipment and reminds him to aim at his flippers, although stating he is not a very perfect catch. Another outtake shows Wheezy inadvertently "swallowing" his recently-replaced squeaker when he gets struck by Mr. Mike's microphone again.

Wheezy only appeared in the archive footage of Andy as a kid in Toy Story 3.

Etch

Etch is an Etch-A-Sketch magic screen by Ohio Art Company. Etch is able to draw quickly and, not surprisingly, very well. Such sketches include guns, portraits of Buzz, Woody and Al, Hangman nooses, and even semi-complicated maps. This is his form of communication as he is unable to talk.

In Toy Story, Woody compliments Etch's art by saying that he has the fastest knobs in the west. He was also seen in the background many times, such as during the staff meetings and during Andy's birthday and Christmas gift opening scenes. He became fascinated with Buzz during the middle of the film when he sketched a portrait of him. Then angered by this, Woody erased it.

In Toy Story 2, Etch was seen helping Hamm, Mr. Potato Head and the gang to identify Woody's kidnapper, Al. Later on, when the toys were surfing channels to find the location on how to find Al's Toy Barn, Etch is seen in the back as he was ready to draw a map for Buzz. Near the end of the movie, sometime before Andy comes back from cowboy camp, Etch, as well as the rest of the toys (then including Jessie and Bullseye), were aligned to welcome Andy home, with a "Welcome Home, Andy" sign written on Etch. Etch only appeared in the archive footage of Andy as a kid in Toy Story 3.

Mike

Mike, also known as Mr. Mike, is a toy tape recorder by Playskool who helps Woody to amplify his voice when the toys have a staff meeting in Toy Story. At the end of Toy Story 2, he serves as a karaoke machine when Wheezy starts singing. Mike's name is derived from "mic", the abbreviated form of the word "microphone".

Mr. Spell

Mr. Spell is based on a popular 1970s Speak & Spell toy by Texas Instruments. He frequently holds or has held seminars on a variety of topics such as "plastic corrosion awareness" and "what to do if you or part of you is swallowed". He also reveals the words he is saying.

He did not play a particularly large role in the first film, but appeared in many background scenes. He played a bigger role near the beginning of the movie when Woody was holding the staff meeting for all the toys. Also, when Andy's friends came to his birthday party, the toys panicked in thinking that they might be replaced with new toys and Mr. Spell, along with basically everyone else aside from Woody, ran to the window in panic to see the size of the presents. Then later, when Andy's friends were running up to his room, Woody told everyone to go back to their places and the toys began to scatter and Mr. Spell can be seen in the overhead shot running in fright and then again behind Mr. Potato Head.

In Toy Story 2, when Buster finds Woody, Mr. Spell displays 13.5, the amount of time in seconds it has elapsed for Buster to find Woody, setting a new record. Later, after Woody is stolen from a yard sale, Mr. Spell helps Andy's toys figure out who has stolen Woody. Mr. Spell is voiced by Jeff Pidgeon.

Rocky Gibraltar

Rocky Gibraltar is a figure of a heavy-weight wrestler, probably based on Wrestling Superstars collectible wrestling figures made by Hasbro. He is the strongest toy in Andy's room, even stronger than Buzz Lightyear. In the first movie, he is seen lifting weights (tinker toys) with Snake, Buzz, Mr. Potato Head, and Rex. Rocky lifts the heaviest weights out of all of Andy's toys. As with Troll, Rocky is silent and plays a minor role in the movies, but he can speak in the Disney Adventures comics and in the Toy Story Activity Center CD-Rom game from Disney Interactive, in the Activity Center computer game, he can be seen on the top shelf playing cards with Hamm and replies in third-person, saying, "Rocky needs to work on brain muscles". After Woody throws RC off the moving truck, Rocky, under Mr. Potato Head's orders, plays a prominent role in Woody's torture by spinning him in the air and later tossing him off the truck personally. But when the toys realize that Woody's only use of RC is to help Buzz onto the truck, Bo Peep calls Rocky who then redeems himself by lowering the truck's ramp for them. In Toy Story 2, Rocky, with Sarge's toy soldiers, tries to hold back the door to prevent Buster from entering, but Buster rams the door open, causing Rocky and the soldiers to go flying. Rocky is also seen holding Wheezy as Wheezy begs Buzz to rescue Woody and when waving Buzz and his rescue squad goodbye as they leave on their mission. At the end of the movie, Rocky is seen enjoying Wheezy's rendition of "You've got a Friend in me". Rocky's name and a logo on his championship belt are a references to the Rock of Gibraltar. Rocky is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer video game.

In the Toy Story Activity Center game he is voiced by Jack Angel.

Snake and Robot

Snake is a green-purple jointed rattlesnake. Robot is a toy by PlaySkool Robot that can talk, but Snake cannot. In Toy Story, Snake and Robot's job was "Podium Duty". Robot is also seen using the bottom of his feet as a treadmill for when Buzz works out. Snake and Robot also help Buzz repair his "ship". Snake and Robot are usually seen together, posing the question if they are best friends or not. Snake was with the other toys when Woody accidentally knocked Buzz out of the window. Robot appears at the beginning of the film when Andy is playing with Buzz. Robot has two lines, and is voiced by Jeff Pidgeon.

Shark

Shark or Mr. Shark is the squeaky rubber shark toy from Andy's toy box. In Toy Story, he is shown to be talking as when Woody wakes up in the toy-box and notices he doesn't have his hat on, Shark pretends he is Woody and says, "Hey Look, I'm Woody! Howdy! Howdy! Howdy!" (also a reference to a vulture cartoon by The Far Side cartoonist Gary Larson). Woody sees Shark, laughs in a sarcastic way, and "swipes" his hat off Shark's head. In Toy Story 2 when Andy plays with his toys just before he goes to Cowboy Camp, the color of Shark changes from dark blue to grey. Also when Woody screams "Yard sale" he looks up from the toy box. At the end of the sequel, Wheezy credits Mr. Shark for finding him an extra squeaker in the toy box as a replacement for his old broken one. Mr. Shark is shown via archive footage in Toy Story 3. In the special Toy Story disc edition "Toy Story treats" he tells toy "terror stories". Shark's voice is played by Jack Angel.

Roly Poly Clown

Roly Poly Clown: Roly Poly Clown is a rocking chiming clown toy with a button-down hand-painted-jacket with yellow stripes. He also cannot talk. He is seen more commonly in the first film. As well as a hand-painted jacket, he also wears a party hat with stripes. Instead of walking or hopping like many other toys, he rolls on his side. He is never played with/by Andy and lives in his toy box.

Troikas

Troikas are a set of non-talking five plastic egg-shaped toys in the style of Matryoshka doll with a picture of five animals: bulldog (largest), cat (second largest), duck (medium), goldfish (second smallest) and ladybug (smallest). Troikas are based on Little Tikes Nested Farm Animals.

Troll

Troll is a pink-haired Troll doll who is clad in a blue bikini with oxeye daisies. She communicates by shaking her head for yes/no questions, but she can not talk as seen in Toy Story 2. Troll lives with Shark and Roly Poly Clown in Andy's toy box. Troll is friendly with Bo Peep and Rocky Gibraltar.

Additional toys

  • Barrel of Monkeys is a 1960s preschool game by Lakeside Toys. Andy owns an early 1990s version (with red monkeys and yellow barrel), which is produced by Milton Bradley. In Toy Story, while Andy's family was gone to Pizza Planet, the toys used the barrel of monkeys to try to rescue Buzz, but fail miserably when they realize that they need several hundred more to build a ladder long enough for "Buzz" to climb. They appear during the outtakes in Toy Story 2 in which Mrs. Potato Head packs them into Mr. Potato Head's compartment, along with some monkey chow.
  • Hockey Puck is a hockey puck figurine with two red cruciate ice hockey sticks as his emblem. He appears briefly in the first movie and cannot talk, but squeak. He is first seen when Mr. Potato Head says: "What are you looking at, ya hockey puck!" He appears to be a "throwaway" character as a setup for Don Rickles' (Mr. Potato Head) famous one-liner. He reappears again on a Toy Story short.
  • Max the 8-Ball is a "fortune-telling" toy by Tyco. In the first Toy Story, Max is seen on Andy's desk. In the first film, Woody attempts to Max to predict whether Andy will take either him or Buzz to Pizza Planet. The reply is "Don't count on it", against Woody's hopefulness that he will be taken. Woody fumes and lobs Max away, but it ends up stuck down the back of Andy's desk; prompting Woody's idea to knock Buzz behind the desk, which ends up leading to the events afterwards. In Toy Story 2, Max lies on Andy's top bookshelf next to a forgotten Wheezy and Rock-a-Stack, an old, dusty baby toy by Fisher-Price.
  • See 'n Say The Farmer Says: See 'n Say "The Farmer Says" educational toy for toddlers by Mattel, appears in the first Toy Story. Its featured animals are sheep, dog, duck, frog, horse, coyote, rooster, pig, cow, bird, cat, and turkey. Its disappearance in the second movie suggests it is either Molly's or it was given away. In Toy Story 3, the toys under the control of Lotso use a See 'n Say for gambling purposes. It is unknown whether it is the same one seen in the original movie.
  • Dolly, Duckie, and Teddy: Dolly is a rag doll who wears blue tank top and pink skirt, Teddy is a pink teddy bear with a grumpy look in his face, and Duckie is a rubber duck. All three toys do not talk. They are Molly's toys and can been seen on Andy's desk in Toy Story. Teddy can also be seen in an Al's Toy Barn commercial in Toy Story 2.
  • Toddle Tots Fire Truck is a set of '90s toddler toys including four Fireman and Tikes and their truck by Little Tikes Company. In Andy's room one can also see other types of Tikes: Cap Tike, Farmer Tike, Doc Tike, Hunter Tike, Painter Tike, Sailor Tike and Shriner Tike in the little red car. It is unlikely that Andy still plays with these, as they appear to be toys from when he was a toddler. The Tikes never speak, but are heard making high-pitched murmuring noises.
  • Three Barbie Singers are another of Molly's toys. They perform as backing vocalists when Wheezy sings You've Got A Friend In Me in the end of Toy Story 2.
  • Toy Train. In Toy Story, in the scene when Woody shouts "Andy's coming, everybody! Back to your places! Hurry!" a Toy Train can be seen in the overhead shot.

Sid's house

This section contains toys that are seen only in the first Toy Story.

Combat Carl

Combat Carl is Sid's G.I. Joe-type doll who's blown up by a huge M-80, in Sid's first scene (technically deceased) See Jingle Joe.

Hannah's Dolls

  • For Janie, see "Janie and Pterodactyl" under the Mutant Toys section.
  • Sally is Hannah's replacement doll for Janie. After Sid is attacked by the toys, Sid sees Sally, then runs off in fright, thinking that Sally will come to life. Hannah then chases Sid upstairs into his room, trying to scare him more.
  • Marie Antoinette and her little sister is company of two headless dolls from Hannah's tea party. One is Barbie without her original legs (she has spare legs from a rag doll body), and the second is rag doll in violet bloom dress. A dark brown headless teddy bear is also seen with the dolls. It is due to the fact that Sid tortured Hannah's toys. Yet, she is able to play with them. "Marie Antoinette" is probably a nickname (given by Buzz), based on their headlessness rather than the actual name of one of the toys.

Mutant toys

The Mutant Toys are unlucky mutilated toys who live their unhappy lives in the darkest corners of Sid's room and they are also the supporting main protagonists of the first film. They are assembled by Sid from mixed pieces of several toys that belong to him and Hannah (hence the baby doll's parts). They don't talk (probably due to the mutilations they suffered), though it is revealed they know morse code. They also look horrifying (in fact, Woody and Buzz think they're cannibals who are going to eat them), but they actually are friendly and timid. They fix Buzz's broken arm (as well as repairing Janie and the Pterodactyl) and also help Woody realize his plan to save Buzz from the clutches of Sid. They close in on Sid as Woody tells Sid how much they hate being mutilated, and they all rejoice in victory after Woody frightens Sid away with his own voice. In Toy Story Treats, the Mutant Toys appear in Andy's house (it was unknown if they were visiting, or if Andy "adopted" them).

Baby Face

Baby Face (A.K.A. "Spider Baby") - the leader of the mutant toys, he is a one-eyed male Baby Doll head staked on top of a spider-like body with crab-like pincers made of Erector set pieces. Baby Face lives in the shadows under Sid's bed. One way Baby Face communicates with the other toys is by banging in Morse code on the side of Sid's metal bedpost with his big claw. This method is used when he signals the other mutant toys to gather around to listen to Woody as he formulates his plan to rescue Buzz from Sid. When the mutant toys gain on Sid, Baby Face, suspended by Legs, lands on Sid's head, scaring him. Baby Face is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer Video Game.

Legs

Legs - a toy fishing rod with Barbie doll legs. She is shown to be very strong, being able to hold Ducky's and Baby Face's weight. When Woody formulates his plan to save Buzz from Sid, he assigns Legs to partner up with Ducky. Legs open the vent grating so she and Ducky can go to the front porch, where Legs lower Ducky through the hold Ducky created so Ducky can swing toward the doorbell. After Ducky catches the Frog, Legs pulls both toys up to safety. Later, when the mutant toys advance on Sid, Legs lower Baby Face onto Sid's head, scaring him.

Hand-in-the-box

Hand-in-the-box is based on the "character" Thing from the 1960s TV horror spoof The Addams Family; a green rubber arm that emerges from a black box, it appears to be based on the electro-mechanical coin-bank that was marketed as part of the show's merchandising. During Woody's plan to save Buzz from Sid, Hand-in-the-box, held by Rockmobile mounted on Babyface's head, extends its hand to the doorknob, ready to open the door when the signal comes. After the Frog is let out the room to distract Scud, Hand-in-the-box mounts Roller Bob (held by Rockmobile) and extends its hand to pull Jingle Joe (carrying Janie and the Pterodactyl) when Woody motions the other mutant toys to go down to Sid's backyard. The Hand also grabs Sid's leg when the mutant toys surround him.

Roller Bob

Roller Bob - a jet pilot action figure, whose torso has been attached to an old-school mini-skateboard. After the Frog is let out of Sid's room to distract Scud, Roller Bob ferries Woody and the other mutant toys outside the house to Sid's yard.

The Frog

The Frog - the speediest toy of all: a tin wind-up frog with two different wheels (left is from an erector set and right is from a monster truck) instead of legs. The Frog is missing his left hand. As part of Woody's plot to rescue Buzz from Sid, Woody orders, "Wind the Frog!", and the Walking Car twists the screw on the Frog's back to insert energy. When Ducky rings the doorbell, the Frog is let out of Sid's room, allowing Scud to chase him down the stairs and out to the front porch, where he is caught by Ducky, and Legs reels both toys up to safety.

Jingle Joe

Jingle Joe - another triple toy combination. He is a Combat Carl head staked on top of a Melody Push Chime toddler toy with an arm which is missing from a Mickey Mouse figure. He appears at the part when he turns Woody's flashlight off by pressing the button. He helps in the plan to save Buzz by supplying motion for Janie and the Pterodactyl when there is no room on Roller Bob.

Ducky

Ducky - the result of triple toy combination: a duck-headed Pez dispenser with a baby doll torso and plunger base. Other than Janie, he is the only one of Sid's toys that can communicate. He and Legs go to the front porch via the vent, and Ducky, suspended from the porch ceiling by Legs, swings toward the doorbell until he finally activates it, giving Woody the signal to release the Frog. Ducky catches the Frog as Legs reels both toys up to safety.

Rockmobile

Rockmobile - a figure with an insect's head (it looks like a weird hybrid of fly and praying mantis) who sits in a headless upper torso of Rocky Gibraltar, in which is a steering wheel from a toy car. Rockmobile also walks on the Rocky doll's hands.

Walking Car

Walking Car - a yellow 1957 Chevrolet Corvette car with small baby doll arms. He can run and climb very quickly. As part of Woody's plot to save Buzz from Sid, when Woody orders to wind the Frog, the Walking Car twists the screw on the Frog's back, giving the Frog enough energy to speed from Sid's room to the porch.

Janie and Pterodactyl

Janie and Pterodactyl - Hannah's beloved rag doll, Janie, and Sid's creepy toy, Pteranodon, are the subjects of Sid's last "operation", called a "double bypass brain transplant" (he ripped off their heads and replaced Janie's head with a pterodactyl's). The mutant toys later tape back their heads on the correct bodies. After the Frog is released from Sid's room for Scud to chase after, Janie and the Pterodactyl ride Jingle Joe (since Roller Bob has run out of capacity) as Woody motions the toys to go down to Sid's backyard. When the toys attack Sid, Janie says, "Redrum!" in a reference to The Shining (however, this can be interpreted as only "Mama!").

Additionally, when Sid is attacked, there can be seen a bunch of other broken toys, including a Squeeze Toy Alien (the one that Sid gave to Scud), a burned rag doll (who repeatedly utters, "Mama!", in a manner similar to that of a basic talking doll), a huge red pickup truck, an armless yellow soldier with a nail in his head, and a headless yellow soldier with a broken leg.

Al's Toy Barn/Al's house

This section contains characters first seen in Toy Story 2.

Stinky Pete the Prospector

Stinky Pete, or The Prospector as Jessie calls him, is a prospector doll and the main antagonist of the second film. He is voiced by Kelsey Grammer. He is a rare toy modeled after a character on the television show, Woody's Roundup, where the characters consists of Sheriff Woody (the main character), Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl (Woody's yodeling cowgirl sidekick), Stinky Pete (an idiot hillbilly), and Bullseye the Horse (Woody's trusty steed). The Prospector doll seen in the film had never been opened and was still "Mint in the Box", making him sought after by collectors.

In contrast to the character on the show, Stinky Pete is quite intelligent, manipulative, and well-spoken and, when he first appears, seems to be a grandfather figure and mentor. However, in reality he is quite bitter and resentful, especially towards children and space toys. The Prospector spent "a life time on a dime store shelf watching every other toy be sold," until Al McWhiggin eventually found him.

Stinky Pete really hates space toys, especially Buzz Lightyear, whom he had blamed for causing the show to be canceled after the launch of Sputnik, which caused children all over America to lose their interest in cowboy toys for space toys.

Prospector's true colors are revealed when Woody agrees to go with Buzz Lightyear. He is infuriated about Woody leaving with Buzz and locks the vent to sabotage Woody's attempt to go back to Andy and take Jessie, and Bullseye with him. He also sabotages Woody's attempt in getting his arm back by secretly turning on the TV during the night because he thinks Woody is escaping. He frames Jessie for this. The fact that he has never experienced the love and affection of a child is likely what makes him so bitter and resentful. He sees children as destroyers of toys (like Sid) whose ultimate fate will be "spending eternity rotting in some landfill". This makes him all the more determined to go to the Tokyo museum and become an exhibit for the rest of his life, unlike Woody and Jessie. This leads to a showdown at the airport, where the Prospector punches Buzz, who came to rescue Woody off the ramp. Angered by this, Woody then fights the Prospector for harming his friend, but the Prospector reopens an old rip in Woody's arm, and is about to finish Woody off, but the toys blind and stun him with a flash camera. Buzz, having survived the fall, arrives and grabs the Prospector by his shirt. Thinking that it's time the Prospector learned the "true meaning of playtime", Woody instructs Buzz and the other toys to dump the Prospector into a Barbie doll backpack that belongs to a little girl named Amy, who enjoys decorating her dolls' faces with tattoos, as punishment and revenge for his betrayal. At that time, Amy decides to give the Prospector a makeover, much to his discomfort. The Prospector then starts crying as he is taken to his new owner's home.

After Toy Story 2 came out, on the website, there were interviews with all the characters. Prospector said that he's used to Amy decorating him, and he likes it.

According to his box, the Prospector had only a total of 9 sayings, including "Ther's gold in them ther hills", "Help! I think I'm stuck!", "Aw, Shucks-a-roo", and "Oh Boy!...Beans for dinner".

There are problems for his role in the second film, he is a protagonist in the TV show, but the main villain in the whole movie as he tries to tell Woody that Andy is evil and will grow up. In one outtake, the Prospector is seen talking to two Barbie dolls in the box, promising them a role in Toy Story 3. In another outtake, while giving Woody a choice to go back or stay, the Prospector accidentally farts, which is probably why they call him "Stinky Pete."

Stinky Pete shares similarities with Sideshow Bob, another character voiced by Kelsey Grammer from the TV show The Simpsons. Bob, like Pete, is disgruntled by playing second fiddle to the star character of the show (in this case, Krusty the Clown) and acts in a more refined manner than his TV show persona.

The Prospector will also appear in the Toy Box Mode of Toy Story 3: The Video Game.

Bonus Belt Buzz (Wrong Buzz)

Deluded Buzz, referred to as "Buzz #2" and "New Buzz," is a Buzz Lightyear action figure, one of the latest in its line, and wears a special, limited-edition anti-gravitational belt and is one of the minor antagonists in the second film. When the "real" Buzz Lightyear sees this new belt, knowing that Andy would be pleased, he decides that he wants one too; he then makes a foolish attempt to steal it off Buzz #2. Immediately as Buzz tries to swipe the belt for himself, he is arrested by Buzz #2. Like Buzz in the first film, he believes that he is a real space ranger. However, he is aware that there are hundreds of other Buzz Lightyear "space rangers" like himself (and recognizes the original Buzz as a fellow space ranger), but he thinks that they're in cryogenic stasis. After trapping Buzz in a box, he is mistaken for the real Buzz by the gang. When Rex mentions that he knows how to defeat Emperor Zurg, Buzz #2 quickly decides to tag along. While the gang search Al's Toy Barn with Buzz #2, they become increasingly suspicious of his cocky attitude ("I'm Buzz Lightyear! I'm always sure!") and strange actions. While on the elevator, they encounter a savage Emperor Zurg toy, which claims to be the father of Buzz #2, much to his dismay. Rex defeats Zurg by accident, sending him falling off the elevator to his apparent doom, upsetting Buzz #2. Buzz #2 is last seen playing catch with his "dad", the Zurg toy, whose attitude towards Buzz has changed after the fall. He is voiced by Tim Allen, who also voices the original Buzz.

Emperor Zurg

Emperor Zurg is Buzz Lightyear's arch-enemy, as well as his "father." Briefly mentioned in the first film as Buzz's sworn enemy, he makes his first appearance as one of the minor antagonists in the second film. He is voiced by Andrew Stanton. A Zurg action figure is accidentally activated by Buzz when he escapes from Al's Toy Barn. Believing himself to be real much like Buzz did in the first film and "Bonus Belt" Buzz does in the second film, Zurg gives chase to destroy Buzz.

Tour Guide Barbie

Tour Guide Barbie is a Barbie doll initially from Al's Toy Barn in Toy Story 2. She and all of the other Barbie dolls in the film are voiced by Jodi Benson. When Hamm, Slinky Dog, Rex and Mr. Potato Head come upon the Barbie aisle at Al's Toy Barn while searching for Woody, Tour Guide Barbie hops into the toy car they are driving. She gives the toys a tour in the toy barn and helps them locate Buzz Lightyear (they actually find a "Bonus Belt" Buzz; (see above). After the outtakes of the film, Tour Guide Barbie waves goodbye to the audience until her face hurts from smiling.

Two fighting robots, red and blue, that Al has on his desk in his office inside Al's Toy Barn. When Buzz Lightyear (Buzz 2 now) and the toys come to the office, Slinky asks them if they seen Woody (describing as "a cowboy doll with a bad arm"). The Blue first responds, leaving the Red and the Blue to argue over who was being asked. They then fight each other with the Blue defeating the Red. They are voiced by John Lasseter (Blue) and Lee Unkrich (Red). They can also be seen in The Incredibles.

Sunnyside Daycare Center

These characters appear in Toy Story 3. They are the toys that live at Sunnyside Daycare Center.

Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear

Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear (voiced by Ned Beatty) (Lotso for short) is a plush, pink teddy bear with a purple nose and a sweet strawberry scent. He uses a wooden toy mallet as a cane. He is the main antagonist of Toy Story 3 and the leader of Sunnyside Daycare Center, where he initially acts like a kind-hearted and wise caretaker, but in reality, he acts much like a ruthless prison warden. He assigns the Toys to the Caterpillar Room, where they are roughly played with by the youngest kids in the daycare. He and his gang ride around the daycare in a big yellow dump truck with an unnamed toddle tot. At Bonnie's house, Woody learns from Chuckles the Clown that he, Lotso and Big Baby were once owned by a girl named Daisy who accidentally lost them in the countryside. The three of them had managed to reach Daisy's house, where Lotso discovered that Daisy had gotten another Lots-O-Huggin' Bear, convincing him that he had been forgotten and replaced (which is why he turned from a cute toy to a mean, ruthless one). Angered by this, Lotso lied to Big Baby and told him that he had also been replaced and they traveled to Sunnyside, turning it into a prison for toys, while Chuckles was found by Bonnie. Near the end of the movie, Lotso catches Andy's toys trying to escape, but is thrown into the dumpster by Big Baby when Woody reveals his knowledge of Lotso's deception, but Woody and the gang fall in as well. At the dump, the toys save Lotso from being ripped to shreds, but he leaves them to die since he believes that all toys are trash. They survive, however, and Hamm and Slinky want to teach Lotso a lesson for almost killing them, but Woody convinces them that he's not worth it. Instead, Lotso gets his comeuppance when a garbage man, who had one of his own, finds him and ties him to the front of his truck with a few other toys. He is last seen in front of the truck with the other strapped toys while one of them tells him to hold his breath so bugs and trash filth do not fly in his mouth, something which Lotso obliges to. He made a cameo appearance in Pixar's 2009 film Up.

It may be possible that the corrupt, authoritative character of Lotso alludes to Beatty's previous role as a sheriff who rules the swamps with an iron fist in White Lightning.

Ken (voiced by Michael Keaton) is a smooth-talking doll who falls for Barbie, and the secondary antagonist of the film. He serves as Lotso's second-in-command. He wears a leopard-print shirt with light blue shorts. His accessories include a matching ascot, sensible loafers and a fashion-forward gold belt. He hates being called a girl's toy and does not understand why other toys call him such. At the climax, Ken's love for Barbie caused him to turn against Lotso. At the end of the film, he and Barbie take over Sunnyside together. Ken is thought to be metrosexual. Pixar revealed he was based off of "Animal Lovin' Ken".

Big Baby

Big Baby is a very big doll with one eye that hangs loose. He was once one of Daisy's toys, before he, Lotso, and Chuckles were lost, and came to Sunnyside. He acts as an enforcer for Lotso at Sunnyside, but when Woody reveals that their owner Daisy still cared about them, Big Baby throws Lotso in the garbage bin (and, to add insult to injury, also blew a raspberry), allowing Woody and his friends to escape Sunnyside. The childish scribbling on his form give the impression of tattoos; a lazy eye and a bottle shows him as a drunken mess. He also had one proper line. Upon learning the truth about Daisy from Woody he says Mama, meaning he sees Daisy like his own mother. Lotso insulted Big Baby for this which was what convinced him to get rid of Lotso. He was last seen in the end credits. While the Sunnyside toys had fun in "The Box" he had made a sand castle but it fell over, causing him to cry and Barbie then helped him feel better. Later in the credits he was in a gold litter diaper dancing with Barbie and Ken.

Twitch

Twitch (voiced by John Cygan) is a green "insectaloid warrior"[4] action figure with a bug's head. He has red eyes with ferocious chomping mandibles, wings, and two muscular arms. He is one of the strongest toys serving Lotso, and helps apprehend Andy's toys, and keeps a search light working in the playground.

He can also elevate his body to make himself taller. He is seen in the film greeting Buzz upon Andy's toys' arrival, and later gambling in Lotso's gang's hideout. He is later seen helping lock up Andy's toys when they try to escape, and is seen for the remainder of the film patrolling Sunnyside. When Andy's toys are about to escape, Sparks and the other toys are convinced of their leader's treachery, and turn on him. He is seen living happily at Sunnyside after Lotso's defeat in the credits.

Chatter Telephone

Chatter Telephone (voiced by Teddy Newton) is a toy Chatter Telephone. He cannot speak unless his receiver is lifted from its cradle. He is the oldest toy in the daycare, and claims he can't be broken; though when Lotso and his group figure out Chatter Telephone helped Woody and his friends escape, they do in fact break him. In the credits, it appears the Sunnyside toys repaired him, and he now lives a happier life there.

Humans

Andy Davis

Andrew "Andy" Davis is the owner of Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the other toys, which he treats with a large amount of love. In Toy Story, Andy receives a Buzz Lightyear action figure for his birthday, causing tension between Buzz and Woody, who has always prided himself on being Andy's favorite. He spent much more time with Buzz and grew to love him as much as Woody, but he still held a special place in his heart for Woody himself, as evidenced when both toys went missing for a time and he fears they would be left behind after he moved to a new house with his family. Fortunately, he is able to find them as they are driving to their new house (by that time, Woody and Buzz have put all tensions aside and become friends). Later that year during Christmas, he receives a puppy, though his bond with this new pet is never developed beyond his excitement about having one. In Toy Story 2, he is only seen at the beginning and for a short while at the ending. However, during the short time he is in the movie, it is easy to tell that he still loves his toys very much and they still feel the same about him. At the end of the film, Andy is pleased to have five new toys, Jessie, Bullseye, and three Squeeze Toy Aliens, added into his collection. Whenever Andy receives new toys, he always labels them with his name on the soles of their feet. In Bullseye's case, Andy prints an individual letter of his name on each of his hooves.

In the first two films, Andy lives with his mother and his sister, Molly. His father is not seen in the movies (and is presumed deceased, as he isn't shown in Andy's graduation photo with the rest of his family). In Toy Story 3, Andy is now 17 years old and preparing to go off to college, and he attempts to put most of his toys in the attic (except for Woody, whom he initially plans to take with him). According to Toy Story producer Ralph Guggenheim, John Lasseter and the story team for Toy Story reviewed the names of Pixar employees' children looking for the right name for Woody's owner. "Andy" was ultimately named after Andy Luckey, the son of legendary animator Bud Luckey — Pixar's fifth employee and the creator of Woody. The younger Luckey in interviews has claimed he wasn't aware that he was the namesake of the character, adding that he had assumed the character to have been named after Pixar animator Andrew Stanton. "It's kind of a funny 'urban legend' that 'Andy' from Toy Story was named after me. But, if he was named after a real person at all, it was probably Andrew Stanton," Andy Luckey told Animation Magazine.

Present-day Andy is voiced by John Morris in all three films, and by Charlie Bright in the third film as a child.

Molly

Molly Davis is Andy's younger sister. She is an infant in Toy Story and a toddler in Toy Story 2. Her voice in Toy Story 2 is supplied by Hannah Unkrich, Lee Unkrich's daughter. In Toy Story 3, Molly is shown as a thirteen year old and is the owner of a Barbie doll, who she donates to Sunnyside daycare. She was voiced by Beatrice Miller in the third film.

Mom

Ms. Davis is Andy and Molly's mother. Although implied, it is not clear if she's a single parent. It has been speculated that she is a widow. It is also possible that she is married and her husband is simply not shown. She originally had brown hair during her first appearance in Toy Story, but as of Toy Story 2, she is now seen with blonde hair. She is voiced by Laurie Metcalf. She appears in Toy Story 3, and wants to donate Andy's and Molly's toys to SunnySide Daycare, but accidentally throws the toys to the garbage.

Sid Phillips

Sidney 'Sid' Phillips is a disturbed, hyperactive, sadistic 13-year-old boy and the main antagonist of the first film. He was Andy's vicious neighbor (until Andy moved), and the worst nightmare any toy could have and loves to destroy and torture toys. Sid is a young, bratty skate punk with metal braces. He wears a black T-shirt bearing a white Skull (the logo of Zero Skateboards). His idea of fun is terrorizing his sister and destroying her toys in various methods (exploding, burning or in his "mad doctor" plays). He also enjoys skateboarding. It is shown that he has kind of a sissy side because when he was sleeping he said "I want to ride the pony," after Buzz pushes a tool box off Sid's desk. He is voiced by Erik von Detten. According to an interview, Sid is named after a former employee at Pixar who would take toys apart and sometimes rebuild them in different and disturbingly odd ways. At the end of the original movie, when Woody and Sid's mutant toys decide to rescue Buzz by scaring Sid, he becomes very frightened of toys, and Woody pulls the last straw on him by coming alive and telling him (in a sinister way) to take good care of his toys or else, causing Sid to panic and runs back into his house and into his room, considering all the things he had done with them. He is the only human to witness toys come alive. He is last seen when Hannah frightens him more and chases him to the room. Sid was mentioned once by Buzz in Toy Story 2 and makes a cameo appearance in Toy Story 3 as a garbageman dancing to some music on his headphones.. He is once again voiced by Erik von Detten.

  • Hannah Phillips is Sid's 6-year-old little sister. She cherishes her dolls and holds pretend tea parties with them. Her toys are often the victims of Sid's activities. She gives the name "Mrs. Nesbit" to Buzz when she dresses him for a tea party after discovering him. She appears to have crossed eyes. She is voiced by Sarah Freeman. When Sid becomes frightened of toys, Hannah capitalizes on it by showing Sally into his face and chasing him into his room, saying "What's wrong, Sid?! Don't you wanna play with Sally?!"
  • Mr. Phillips is seen asleep, snoring, on a La-Z-Boy when Buzz enters the TV room. (unknown voice actor)
  • Mrs. Phillips is not seen, but Hannah calls for her on several occasions and calls to Sid twice in the film. (voiced by Mickie McGowan)

Al McWhiggin

Al McWhiggin, called The Chicken Man by Andy's toys and Poultry Man by Buzz #2, is a 38-year-old toy dealer and the secondary antagonist of the second film (the main antagonist is the Prospector), who steals Woody in hope of selling him to a Japanese toy museum. Al is unscrupulously obsessive, overweight, very impatient and lazy (he complains of having to "drive all the way to work on a Saturday," even though his apartment is across the street from the store.); he is voiced by and partially inspired by Wayne Knight (during the production of Toy Story 2, Knight had a goatee, like Al in the movie). Cartoonist and animator Scott Shaw has also been acknowledged as another model and inspiration for Al.

Al is the owner of a toy shop called Al's Toy Barn. The store is first seen in an advertisement during the first Toy Story on an advertisement of Buzz Lightyear toys, but Al did not appear. He is first seen in Toy Story 2 during an advertisement on TV in which he dresses in a chicken suit, of which Hamm, after turning off the TV, remarks: "I despise that chicken." Later, he is seen trying to buy Woody at a yard sale held by Andy's mom. After Andy's mom refuses to hand over the doll and locks Woody in a box, Al stealthily unscrews the lock and steals Woody, intending to sell him, along with the rest of his collection of Woody's Roundup toys and memorabilia, to Japanese interests for a large sum of money. When he hears his boss that he will give up all of his yen when he brings the collection in Japan, Al is happy and deals with him.

However, just as Al's plane is about to fly off to Japan with the Roundup gang in luggage, Andy's toys, led by Buzz Lightyear, are able to save Woody in an epic rescue, along with Jessie and Bullseye; meanwhile the Prospector is placed in a mischievous girl's backpack for his betrayal. At the end of the movie, Hamm and Rex are watching a TV commercial for Al's Toy Barn in which Al breaks down in tears while giving the commercial and says that his store has the lowest prices in town. Hamm comments on this by saying: "Well, I guess crime doesn't pay." It can be assumed that, because the toys never made it to Tokyo, Al's Toy Barn went bankrupt and eventually went out of business.

Al's last name was revealed on the nameplate on his office desk; also, when he is done taking pictures, he answers his cellphone. and Mr. Konishi can be heard saying his full name. According to Disney Adventures magazine, Al wasn't allowed to play with toys as a child, leading to his toy-collecting niche.

His car's license plate reads LZTYBRN, which is "Al's Toy Barn" minus the vowel letters. It is also the actual license plate of Ash Brannon, co-director of Toy Story 2, according to the Toy Story 2: Special Edition commentary.

Geri

Geri comes to Al's apartment in Toy Story 2 to repair Woody in preparation for his trip to Japan. He calls toy restoration 'art', as he says "you can't rush art" once in the film. Geri is voiced by Jonathan Harris. Geri first appeared from the 1997 short "Geri's Game", voiced by Bob Peterson.

Mr. Konishi

Mr. Konishi (an unseen character) is the name of the museum owner in Japan whom Al McWhiggin often have a conversation over his cellphone. He may be named after a Japanese employee at Pixar. According to Stinky Pete, Konishi Toy Museum (an unseen location), located in Tokyo, is the name of the museum where the Roundup gang is to be sold. (voice by Phil Proctor)

Bonnie

Bonnie appears in Toy Story 3 as one of the kids who goes to Sunnyside Daycare. She takes Woody home and plays with him; impressed by what he sees at her house, he ultimately gets himself (and all of Andy's other toys) donated to her. She has brown hair.

Daisy

Daisy is another girl who appears in Toy Story 3. She owned Lotso, Big Baby and Chuckles in the beginning, but she accidentally leaves them behind at a rest stop along the road.

Other humans

  • In the first Toy Story, the driver of the Pizza Planet truck pulls into Dinoco and asks the gas station attendant for directions to Cutting Boulevard. (unknown voices)
  • Joe is an employee at Al's Toy Barn. Before the toys enter Al's Toy Barn, Joe can be seen entering the toy store, and an unseen employee can be heard calling: "Hey, Joe, you're late." (unknown voice)
  • As mentioned by Jessie, Emily is the name of her former owner. She appears only during the "When She Loved Me" musical sequence, first seen as a young girl, taking the Jessie doll out to play by swinging on a tire tied to a tree on top of a hill. Although not clearly visible, it is easy to say that Emily grew up and had no need of her toys, including Jessie, any more. As a young child she was a fan of the Wild West and horses, along with the Woody's Roundup tv show, apparent through her love of Jessie. As she became a teenager her horse obsession turned to the psychadelic pop music of the time, makeup and gossip with her friends. After some time, she finds Jessie under the bed, and she is last seen as a young teenager when she steps out of the car and places Jessie in a charity box before driving away with her mother. It is implied through the type of car, Emily's clothes (flares) and the psychadelic musical tastes as she becomes a teenager that the "When She Loved Me" sequence takes place between the early to late sixties. It can be guessed that by the time of Toy Story 2 Emily is in her mid forties.
  • When Woody watches Woody's Roundup on TV, an anonymous boy appears in the screen and plays with the TV Woody, who is playing the guitar and singing "You've Got a Friend in Me." It is this scene that helps Woody realize what it means to be loved by a kid after deciding not to go back with his friends to Andy's house. The anonymous boy looks similar to Andy and this sequence could be interpreted as a dream sequence, with Woody suddenly imagining Andy appearing on TV and hugging the Woody from the Roundup show.
  • Amy is the name of the girl who retrieves her Barbie backpack (with The Prospector) at the airport in Toy Story 2. She describes the Prospector as "a big ugly man-doll" and plans to do a makeover on him. (unknown voice)
  • Additional human characters are noticeable for a short time at the Pizza Planet restaurant in Toy Story, and at the yard sale and the Tri-County International Airport in Toy Story 2 (most have unknown voice actors)
    • Both Pizza Planet and the airport have a female P.A. announcer who, in both films, announces something about the white zone.
    • At the yard sale, after Woody is left behind, an anonymous little girl with a pink shirt, blonde hair, and blue shoes discovers him. She takes him to her mother, asking her if she can have him, but the mother, considering the toy to be broken, throws Woody aside.
    • At the airport, another anonymous girl spots Slinky in the pet carrier, thinking it is a real puppy, gets near him and wants to adopt it, but Slinky barks and runs to her mom by saying "Mom! Help!".
    • One airport worker is seen loading Al's case (after locking Jessie inside) into the luggage transporter, which he drives to the plane. He is voiced by Andi Peters.
    • After the luggage transporter reaches the plane, another airport worker is seen loading the luggage into the plane's cargo hold.
  • In Toy Story 2, on the day after the toys return home from the airport, an anonymous man and woman are seen across the street from Andy's house (visible through the window), wondering how the luggage transporter (which can be implied that the toys stole it from the airport to get back to Andy's house) has suddenly appeared in the neighborhood.

Other characters

Buster

Buster is Andy's pet dachshund, whom he receives at the end of Toy Story and is seen in Toy Story 2. He is always full of energy, and overall a good dog. Despite the fact over most dogs are violent toward toys, Buster is considered to be nice to the toys in Andy's room, and is fiercely loyal to Woody, obeying all commands given to him by Woody. At the beginning of Toy Story 2, Buster has set a new record of 13.5 seconds on finding Woody. When Wheezy is taken by Andy's mom to be sold at a yard sale, Woody whistles for Buster and commandeers him to carry him down to the yard sale so Woody can rescue Wheezy, in which he does so for good. After the toys return home, Jessie helps Buster out of the room when he needs to go out for a 'private time', and he is last seen with Andy and his family as they go out on another drive. Whenever Buster is with Andy, he seems to hide his smart and obedient side. He appears in Toy Story 3, but looks very aged, mixed brown and gray, somewhat overweight, and slightly too weak (or disinterested) to help Woody and the toys escape, although he is still nice to them.

Crazy Critters

Crazy Critters are a bunch of animal characters from the Woody's Roundup show including an armadillo, bat, bear, beaver, bird, deer, vulture, bear cub, porcupine, flying squirrel, rabbit, skunk, snake, tortoise and wild cat cub.

The Crazy Critters make cameo appearances as "prizes" determined by the score of players in Toy Story Midway Mania.

Lawn Gnome

Scud

Scud is Sid's vicious bull terrier and horrible "toy-chewer machine", and the secondary antagonist in the first film. He has a white body with brown spots, and a red spiked collar. He has a black patch around his left eye. He immediately goes after any toys that comes into his sight, but he appears to be afraid of Sid's father, who is seen asleep on La-Z-Boy. At the end of the film, he chases after Woody and Buzz during the move until he gets trapped in a car pile-up and isn't seen from then on.

Whiskers

Whiskers is an unseen character who is mentioned when the toys are trying to rescue Buzz from the window. It is assumed that he or she is a cat because before Rex says "Whiskers, will you get outta here?! You're interfering with the search and rescue!" a cat screech is heard. Whiskers appeared as a black and white cat in a Disney storybook anthology. (unknown voice actor)

Zurg's Robots

Zurg's Robots are the weapon equipped robots that are seen in Toy Story 2 after video-game Buzz lands on Zurg's Planet.

There is also one robot that comes out of the wall as a camera, and spots Buzz before getting its eye blown off. In the TV show Buzz Lightyear of Star Command Zurg's robots are called Hornets and look different.

TV Announcer

TV Announcer is an unseen character who announces Buzz Lightyear toys in a TV commercial in Toy Story. His voice is performed by Penn Jillette.

In the outtakes (Toy Story 2)

  • Flik and Heimlich, two of the characters from Disney's A Bug's Life in 1998, are seen close-up on a branch as they express their excitement about the making of A Bug's Life 2; however, Heimlich states that the film they're in is a sequel, but not for A Bug's Life. As a confused Flik asks Heimlich what sequel they're actually in, Buzz Lightyear chops down the branches, including the one they're standing on, and screams can be heard as they fall.
    • Heimlich is also seen in the actual film during the scene when Buzz is behind the bushes. He is crawling on the branch only to get knocked off by Buzz as he cuts through.
  • Twin Barbies, two glittering purple barbie dolls, are seen talking to The Prospector in his box.
