Toy Story (Franchise) / int_1439161f | comment |
A pivotal moment sees Woody try and convince the other toys to help him escape from Sid's room, insisting that Buzz is with him and is still alive. However, because this moment is occurring A) during Buzz' Heroic BSoD and B) after the "I Will Go Sailing No More" scene, all Woody has to work with (because of Buzz' refusal to help Woody) is Buzz's disconnected arm. | |

Toy Story (Franchise) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The third is considered a Prison Episode for the series, with sadistic teddy bears, demonic children, Cymbal Banging Monkeys and all ending with a trip to the fiery gates of Hell. Most notably though is how the film puts even more emphasis on the toys' fears of becoming disowned by their owners. | |

Toy Story: Buzz; this is a major part of the film. He loses it when he sees a commercial, and then goes crazy and is reduced to drinking tea and... wearing a pink apron. For a while, anyway. This causes Woody much frustration. | |

Love Imbues Life: Implied. In the accepted-as-canon-by-Pixar Kingdom Hearts III level for Toy Story, Woody mentions that toys that haven't attained sentience yet "haven't learned how to yet". Young Xehanort shortly after adds that the hearts of toys' owners (especially that of children) are connected to their toys and is what makes the world of Toy Story special. | |

Stealth Pun: In 2, Woody has a nightmare about Andy throwing him away. In 3, Woody tells the other toys he needs to get to Andy's house, which is on Elm Street. Woody had a nightmare on Elm street. There's another one from Toy Story that elicits a "For Pete's sake, how did I miss that?" Woody is the leader of Andy's room — in the first film, we see that Slinky is (or used to be) the second-in-command. A cowboy... and a "long little doggy"... | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: In the first film; Al's Toy Barn is advertised at the end of the commercial for Buzz Lightyear figures that makes Buzz realize the truth about himself. Al's Toy Barn goes on to be a major part of the plot in 2. In the truck chase near the end of 1, when Woody is clinging to the moving truck and Scud grabs his leg, we can audibly hear the stitching of his right arm pop. Cut to the beginning of 2, where the plot is set in motion when Woody's right arm rips, as the stitching was already weakened tremendously from the tug-o-war with Scud in 1. The Potato Heads' ability to see through a disconnected eye is something introduced in the second scene of the first film and becomes a major plot point a decade later in 3, when Mrs. Potato Head uses her missing eye to discover that Andy is looking for them after his mother donates them to the Daycare Center. In 2, Stinky Pete asks Woody if he really thinks Andy will take him to college, which is the plot of 3. Another dinosaur that might replace Rex as Andy's dinosaur toy, which worries Rex. Rex doesn't get replaced per se, but another dinosaur DOES appear in 3... in someone else's house. Not only is she also a dinosaur, but she's also a geek like Rex, and the credits epilogue reveals that they get along well. Rex also mentioned wanting to play with a herbivore. In the end credits, he ends up doing just that in a Does This Remind You of Anything? scene. In 3, the garbage man wears a familiar-looking skull shirt. It's not just who the garbage man was that makes him significant, it's also what he does later in the film. In 3, the aliens' obsession with The Claw from the first film becomes a hilarious Brick Joke/Chekhov's Gun/Big Damn Heroes/Deus ex machina all in one. | |

Ironic Echo | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_237404cc | comment |
Ironic Echo: One within the first film, another from the first to the second, another from the second to the third. Early in the first film, when Buzz tries to prove he can fly, Woody says "that wasn't flying, it was falling with style." When Buzz uses his plastic wings to glide in the climax, Woody says "you're flying" and Buzz says "this isn't flying, it's falling with style." The first film has Woody saying to Buzz "you're a child's plaything; you are a toy" when trying to explain to Buzz that he's not a space ranger. The second has Buzz saying this back to Woody when reminding him that he's supposed to be Andy's toy, not a collector's item for a museum. The second film has Mr. Potato Head saving the squeeze toy aliens from falling out of the Pizza Planet truck, and they repeatedly say "you have saved our lives, we are eternally grateful" to him afterwards. The third has the squeeze toy aliens operate the claw at the incinerator in a way that rescues all the toys from being burned; afterwards, Mrs. Potato Head says "you have saved our lives" followed by Mr. Potato Head saying "and we are eternally grateful." | |

Disappeared Dad | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_28cd01ca | comment |
Disappeared Dad: There's no Andy's father in sight. It's never explicitly brought up, but fans like to argue the three possibilities: Andy's mom is a widow, a divorcee, or just happens to be a single mother. In the first two scenarios, many fans in turn assume that Woody is one of the only gifts from his father. The third could be yet another Shout-Out to The Brave Little Toaster, since Rob's mom is single too. Food for thought: so is John Lasseter's mom. | |

Toy Story (Franchise) / int_2f36d97 | comment |
Older Than They Look: Woody and his roundup gang are merchandice for a television show that aired before Sputnik was launched. After that, the show was cancelled and they probably stopped making the merchandise, which might explain why Al had a hard time gathering Woody for a toy collection in Japan. That means that Woody, Jessie, Bullseye and Stinky Pete could be at least forty-nine years old as of the third film, which is set in 2006. | |

Toy Story (Franchise) / int_35022c20 | comment |
No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup is thankfully averted. Pixar had the source files all this time so they could re-render the first two movies for the 2009 3D re-release. Also, a special feature in the 2010 DVD and Blu-ray release of 2 tells of how the film was almost wholly deleted, only to be saved by a staff member's backup. But when they began work on 3, they couldn't edit the original 3D models and had to rebuild everything from scratch. | |

Actor Allusion | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: In the first film, Woody is crushed by a Binford toolbox (Buzz's voice actor Tim Allen starred in Home Improvement, where Binford was the sponsor of a Show Within a Show) and Mr. Potato Head's hockey puck one liner (Mr. Potato Head is voiced by insult comic Don Rickles, known for calling anyone he insults "hockey puck"). In 2, Buzz's reaction to seeing the Buzz Lightyear utility belt sounded very much like a Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor reaction. In a commercial featuring the characters for the USPS, Hamm is dressed as a mailman. Hamm is voiced by John Ratzenburger, who played another mailman, Cliff Clavin from Cheers. | |

Deus ex Machina | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_3fca462c | comment |
Deus ex machina: Played for laughs every time the Pizza Planet truck appears in the films. In the first, it appears out of nowhere to take Buzz and Woody to Pizza Planet and is done even more so in 2. Lampshaded in the commentary to 2. Averted in 3. The Pizza Planet truck is involved in the Back Story of the film's antagonist, but only (indirectly) leads him to disappointment. It could also be interpreted as a Diabolus ex Machina, in that sense as it's the reason Lotso ended up at Sunnyside. In the third, the LGM's returning to save the gang with the claw as they're about to be melted down, but the entire scene was done so well, who could gripe? Also, the writers did keep reminding us of their religious fascination with claws throughout the film. As well as have them taken off-screen early on during the dump sequence. Foreshadowing, done right! Straight forward to the fact that it's a machine that is given godlike reverence. | |

Helping Hands: Mr. Potato Head's body parts are capable of being pulled off him and rearranged. This is sort of a hassle for him to put himself right after the kids are gone. His parts can work on their own even when they're separated from him. The same for Mrs. Potato Head. | |

Not What It Looks Like | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_52d1f46e | comment |
Not What It Looks Like: From Toy Story 1: Played With: Mr. Potato Head accuses Woody of deliberately knocking Buzz out of the window so that he can be Andy's favorite toy again. In reality, while Woody did knock Buzz out the window, and it was due to jealousy, it was an accident: Woody wanted to knock Buzz behind the dresser, so he can go to Pizza Planet with Andy. A pivotal moment sees Woody try and convince the other toys to help him escape from Sid's room, insisting that Buzz is with him and is still alive. However, because this moment is occurring A) during Buzz' Heroic BSoD and B) after the "I Will Go Sailing No More" scene, all Woody has to work with (because of Buzz' refusal to help Woody) is Buzz's disconnected arm. Part of the climax sees Andy's toys outright attack Woody after he shows up in the moving truck and throws RC out the back... except he did so to save Buzz from Scud, which they later realize. From Toy Story 2: The toys initially think Woody's rescue mission of Wheezy from the yard sale was him going to get himself sold due to his torn arm. It's only when Woody pulls Wheezy out of one of the boxes that the penny drops. The Roundup Gang assumes Andy was actually abusive of Woody because of his torn arm, and his failed attempt at explaining how he wound up at the yard sale. While in Al's Toy Barn, it's assumed that Buzz became delusional again after getting ahold of a Buzz Lightyear utility belt... except it's really a different Buzz Lightyear that inadvertently took Buzz' place. Downplayed: While using Mr. Potato Head's eye to spy on Woody and the Roundup Gang, it's assumed that he was being tortured when in reality Jesse was tickling him (granted, a form of torture, but it wasn't in ill-intent). Jesse wasn't the one who turned on the TV and prevent Woody from escaping the apartment earlier. It was Stinky Pete. From Toy Story 3: Even Woody himself thought Andy was throwing out the other toys, but in reality he was going to put them up in the attic (he used a trash-bag instead of a box for ease of convince). Molly just wound up choosing the worst possible moment to distract him. Downplayed: Lotso is of the opinion that Daisy replaced him after getting left behind at the park, when it was most like Daisy's parents that replaced him to appease their upset child. A smaller moment compared to the others, but we don't learn that Woody willingly decided to go with the other toys to Bonnie's instead of going with Andy to college until Bonnie and Andy discovered him in the box. | |

Toy Story (Franchise) / int_53e36b34 | comment |
Shades of Conflict: The most prevalent is White-and-Grey Morality - Sid and Al are only "villains" from the toys' point of view, and the first film is driven by Woody's jealousy. The third however has straight-on Black-and-White Morality given Lotso is evil despite the Freudian Excuse. | |

Kids Love Dinosaurs: No boy's toy collection would be complete without a Tyrannosaurus rex, though Rex is actually a bit of a coward, a goofball and a gamer geek. He's not too bright either. The third film introduces Trixie, whose design seems to imply that they're from the same toyline. It appears that all the dinosaur toys in the series are from the same line, and are in turn based on... Dino-Riders!?! | |

Air-Vent Passageway: Justified, since the toys are actually small enough to fit.

Batman Can Breathe in Space: Parodied and averted in the first movie. Parodied, because Buzz (as a toy) think he's on an alien planet (possibly with no atmosphere). Averted, because he's a toy, and he's breathing Earth atmosphere. 2 contains a Call-Back to this with the Utility Belt Buzz. | |

Kids Are Cruel: Let's face it, Andy was a freak the way he nicely treated his toys. Just look at Sid and those daycare monsters and you'll see that the toys never had it better than with him. The creators completely acknowledged this. The only one who treated his toys nicely was John Lasseter. To be fair, only the toddlers in the Caterpillar Room were monsters because they were, well, babies; the toys they should be playing with are designed to take that abuse. The older kids in the Butterfly Room knew how to play nice. | |

Mean Character, Nice Actor: In-universe. In the playtimes, Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, and Dolly tend to play villainous characters. Hamm and Potato Head are both Deadpan Snarkers, but still good guys, and Dolly is considered by fans to be the Team Mom of Bonnie's toys. Stinky Pete is the villain of the second film, though shown to be a pleasant (if slightly lustful) guy in the outtakes. | |

Casting Gag | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_6ec4232f | comment |
Casting Gag: This is Laurie Metcalf's second role as a woman with a son named Andy. Also, Wayne Knight once again plays a fat, greedy slob who steals something valuable to make a quick buck. In 3, Lotso is generally a corrupt enforcer. His voice actor, Ned Beatty, played a corrupt sheriff, who's much of a Jerkass like Lotso, in the 1973 film White Lightning, which happened to be Beatty's second film role following his film debut a year earlier in Deliverance. It can also be considered ironic as throughout the film, Lotso addressed Woody as "Sheriff." Also, interestingly, both said films that featured Ned Beatty as the Big Bad are favorites of director Quentin Tarantino (Tarantino selected White Lightning for the First Quentin Tarantino Film Fest in Austin, Texas, 1996 and incorporated the film's music by Charles "A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)" Bernstein's in his films Kill Bill and Inglourious Basterds, while Toy Story 3 was placed at the top position in Tarantino's list of favorite films of 2010). The Sergeant of the Bucket of Soldiers is played by R. Lee Ermey. In "Toy Story of Terror", Carl Weathers plays a soldier toy whose friends have been snatched by a seemingly invisible monster. | |

The Masquerade: It's a lot more subtle than most, but seeing as how the toys are so adamant about hiding the fact they are alive from humans, this definitely seems to be the case. Woody, in the first film, even says when they're about to rescue Buzz from Sid, "we're going to have to break a few rules, but if it works, it'll help everybody." | |

Idiot Ball | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Somehow, a Buzz Lightyear toy holds this in every film, for that Buzz Lightyear who holds it believes he's the real Buzz Lightyear, and not a toy. There are a few Toys who also hold part of it. Toy Story: Buzz; this is a major part of the film. He loses it when he sees a commercial, and then goes crazy and is reduced to drinking tea and... wearing a pink apron. For a while, anyway. This causes Woody much frustration. Toy Story 2: The Buzz Lightyear toy with a belt (whom the Buzz from Toy Story encounters) believes he is the real Buzz Lightyear. Buzz's archenemy — Zurg — as a toy, holds this, too, and engages combat with the Buzz with the belt. A Shout-Out to Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is involved. Toy Story 3: The first Buzz toy seen in the three films holds this again. This time, he gets reset into demo mode and then into Spanish! ¡Buzz Lightyear al rescate! Toy Story 4: Buzz holds it once more, this time by believing his "inner voice" refers to his voice box and deferring to his randomly-generated catchphrases for advice. Somehow, they always direct him exactly where he needs to be. | |

Large Ham: Jessie. Joan Cusack chewed miles of scenery in that role. Buzz is most hammy when fresh out of the box; and even after realizing he's a toy he remains rather hammy, though to a slightly lesser extent. Spanish Buzz es un Gran Jamón. Zurg. As an Evil Overlord, he has to be. And a quite obvious one in Hamm. "PIG PILE!" If a small, stuffed hedgehog in lederhosen can be technically called a Large Ham, then Mr. Pricklepants from Toy Story 3 is that small stuffed hedgehog in lederhosen. | |

Riddle for the Ages: Who came up with the rules Woody mentions in the first film and why do toys have to obey them? | |

Brand X | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_978937d6 | comment |
Brand X: A few of the minor characters are based off popular retro toys — without technically being said toys (probably due to Executive Meddling). Lotso is essentially a Care Bear with the tags cut off and Stretch resembles a Wacky Wallwalker. Averted with the Potato Heads, Slinky Dog, Barbie, Etch-A-Sketch, Trolls, and a whole bunch of other toys. The copyrights all get mentioned in the end titles. In fact, Pixar wanted Barbie for the first film to be Woody's girlfriend, but Mattel would not grant them permission to use the trademark. They changed their mind when they saw how the film improved sales of Mr. Potato Head. | |

Toy Story (Franchise) / int_982037d0 | comment |
Downplayed: While using Mr. Potato Head's eye to spy on Woody and the Roundup Gang, it's assumed that he was being tortured when in reality Jesse was tickling him (granted, a form of torture, but it wasn't in ill-intent). | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: Woody goes from a somewhat whiny, selfish wimp in the first film to a breakout mastermind by the third. Buzz starts out delusional, has a breakdown when he finds out he's a toy, then comes right back to save himself and Woody via "Falling! With style!", before going on to rescue Woody in the second movie, and trying to save his friends from the Caterpillar Room, and rescuing Jessie while in the garbage truck. The aliens go from gag characters in the first and second installments to Big Damn Heroes by rescuing the gang from the incinerator. Mr. Potato Head transforms from a selfish, distrustful coward in the first film to a married man and a daring, surprisingly resourceful action hero in the sequels. | |

Toy Story (Franchise) / int_9d17b859 | comment |
Made of Iron: Sort of. The toys are capable of withstanding immense amounts of pain and abuse when in their inanimate state without so much as flinching, only feeling the effects after becoming animate. In fact, to an extent they seem to not mind the abuse at all (Woody is tossed around like a... well... toy doll in the opening scene by Andy, and Andy is naturally occasionally rough with his toys, but the toys seem to adore him all the same), much like how dogs will not mind some roughhousing as long as they're getting attention. Only the Mad Scientist machinations of Sid seem to cause the toys any suffering. | |

Every film also contains an extended period with a Buzz who believes himself to be the Buzz Lightyear. The first film, obviously, has Andy's Buzz, the second film features the Utility Belt Buzz from Al's Toy Barn, and the third film features Andy's Buzz being forcibly reverted to his old personality and used as a minion of Lotso. In addition, Spanish Buzz also believes himself to be a Space Ranger, though his personality is much friendlier. | |

Stock Audio Clip: Jesse's signature "Yee-haw!" is the same audio clip every time she exclaims it in 2, 3, and 4. One of Woody's screams from the first film is recycled twice in 3. At the request of the late Don Rickles' family, all of Mr. Potato Head's lines in 4 are compiled from archive recordings from the prior three films and other Toy Story media, rather than recasting the role. | |

Backstory | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_e7117c09 | comment |
Averted in 3. The Pizza Planet truck is involved in the Back Story of the film's antagonist, but only (indirectly) leads him to disappointment. It could also be interpreted as a Diabolus ex Machina, in that sense as it's the reason Lotso ended up at Sunnyside. | |

Toy Story (Franchise) / int_e8b295de | comment |
Played With: Mr. Potato Head accuses Woody of deliberately knocking Buzz out of the window so that he can be Andy's favorite toy again. In reality, while Woody did knock Buzz out the window, and it was due to jealousy, it was an accident: Woody wanted to knock Buzz behind the dresser, so he can go to Pizza Planet with Andy. | |

Rousseau Was Right | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_eb2195d9 | comment |
Rousseau Was Right: The villains are either not that antagonistic or have a reason for being who they are. Sid is just a kid who is sadistic towards toys and doesn't know they are alive, Stinky Pete is a toy who just has to go to great measures at a certain point, and Lotso had to deal with abandonment and betrayal. Gabby Gabby's backstory is perhaps the saddest of all: she was the defective toy nobody wanted. | |

A Dog Named "Dog" | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_efd11fe3 | comment |
A Dog Named "Dog": Most striking in the case of Dolly the doll, but applies to the other characters too. Justified in that most of the toys were named by young children. | |

Once per Episode | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_f05444a4 | comment |
Once per Episode: Several for the first three films: Every film at one point has toys hiding under something and then walking with it. The first had Woody and Buzz underneath the Pizza Planet cup and burger box walking through Pizza Planet, the second had all the toys who went to rescue Woody underneath traffic cones crossing a street, and later walking a dog's travel container through the airport terminal; the third had the toys about to be thrown away hiding under a plastic recycle bin and walking back to the garage and the fourth has Woody hide under a frisbee to get through a crowded park. Every film ends off with a Dance Party Ending. 2 and 3 had the most obvious examples while the original had a brief karaoke dance moment during the Christmas Party. Every film, including the first, features a cover version of the iconic Toy Story theme "You've Got a Friend in Me" in the credits. The first was a duet by Randy Newman and Lyle Lovett, the second had a show-stopping New Orleans Jazz version sung by Wheezy, and the third film had a very flamenco-influenced version done by the Gipsy Kings. The only exception is the fourth film, which features a repeat of the original version from the first movie but no cover version. Every film also contains an extended period with a Buzz who believes himself to be the Buzz Lightyear. The first film, obviously, has Andy's Buzz, the second film features the Utility Belt Buzz from Al's Toy Barn, and the third film features Andy's Buzz being forcibly reverted to his old personality and used as a minion of Lotso. In addition, Spanish Buzz also believes himself to be a Space Ranger, though his personality is much friendlier. Rex causes Mr. Potato Head to lose his parts at least once per movie: he knocks them off by roaring at him in the first film, accidentally falls on him in the elevator shaft in the second, causes his hat to come off by causing the box the toys were in to fall over in the third and knocks him over in a panic in the fourth. | |

In the first film; Al's Toy Barn is advertised at the end of the commercial for Buzz Lightyear figures that makes Buzz realize the truth about himself. Al's Toy Barn goes on to be a major part of the plot in 2. | |

Product Placement | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: Inverted. Product placement would be if they got paid to include the toys in their film. No, they had to pay for the rights to show any real-world brand of toys. So really, it's the opposite of Product Placement. Though after the success of the first film, most companies approached by Pixar would doubtlessly have very low fees for placement rights. Most of the toys in the first film saw huge jumps in sales. Mr. Potato Head for example was revived nearly from the scrap heap, and the Slinky Dog had been out of production at the time of the film and entered a new giant sales phase when they started making them again. So it can kind of count either way. | |

Without giving away the joke, there's a moment in 3 involving Bookworm, Barbie, and Ken, except that Ken isn't present. Practically everything involving Ken. With expected results. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: A staple of the series. Toy Story nearly ends with Buzz and Woody left alone on the street with Andy's moving van driving away, 2 nearly ships Woody and Jessie (not that kind, though) to Japan, and 3 has them facing the blazing eternity of Hellfire and burning alive. Randy Newman was right, the road is rough ahead. | |

Drives Like Crazy | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_f96f188c | comment |
Drives Like Crazy: Invoked in 1 and 2, both with the Pizza Planet truck. The first one has the actual driver doing this. The second has the toys doing this after hijacking the Pizza Planet Truck to pursue Al and rescue Woody. Similarly, they also invoke the trope on other drivers in the first and second installments. The first was when Scud was chasing Buzz and RC (although it probably wasn't intentional on Buzz, RC and Woody's part), and the second had Buzz and the toys disguising themselves as traffic cones in order to safely cross the road to Al's Toy Barn, with the results being obvious for the drivers. | |

Running Gag | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Mr. Potato Head falling apart/losing his parts, etc. The aliens saying "You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful." Someone abusing Buzz's voice box, causing it to say "Buzz-Buzz-Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!" Happens in the first, second, and fourth movie as well as the Christmas special. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
Toy Story (Franchise) / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: Makes up most of the plot. No, not the film itself. Every situation that's ever happened in Toy Story, many of the toy characters always assumed the worst, before finding out the real truth. Three hilarious examples include: Potato Head accusing Woody of murdering Buzz when he sees the broken arm. Buzz was too depressed to get out of his Heroic BSoD to prove he was still alive. Rex thinking Woody was trying to sell himself at the yard sale. He was trying to rescue Wheezy. Potato Head thinking that Bullseye and Jessie were torturing Woody. They were really tickling him. | |
