The year is 1996. Toy Story is due for its home video release, and Pixar wants to do something to promote it. So, it has decided to make a series of shorts to air on ABC during the commercial breaks of its Saturday morning programming; these segments would become known as Toy Story Treats (alternatively known as Toy Story Shorts in some locations). Due to the large amount of shorts being made, rather than wholesale animate new content, it's decided to reuse assets from the original film and cut corners on the animation in order to get them to television in time. As for the content of the shorts themselves, they mainly act as skit comedy, with Woody, Buzz and others involved in various kinds of shenanigans with no real narrative tying everything together.Since their airing on television, the shorts have been collected and included on various home media releases, such as the Toy Story & Toy Story 2: Ultimate Toy Box DVD set, the 10th anniversary Toy Story DVDnote as Easter eggs, and the 2010 Blu-ray. However, there are uploads of the shorts on their own on Youtube.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Woody's response to the Little Green Men's clown car bit? "Roadblock!" Cue Woody and Buzz uproariously laughing over an audience applauding, doing finger guns and cheeky grins to the camera, and an Iris Out.

Kick the Dog: Hamm's contribution to Rex's lecture about the age of the dinosaurs? "Kaboom!" If you thought Buzz watching his commercial in the original film was painful, wait until you see his reaction to the new one. invoked When Woody tries lifting up his spirits, Hamm basically doubles down:

Loose Canon
 Toy Story Treats / int_4378c556
comment
Loose Canon: It's better not to consider these shorts in the movie canon due to several things: The unexplained presence of Sid's toys at Andy's home. The Davis family was moving away when Woody met them in the first film and they never left Sid's home. The unexplained presence of Pizza Planet aliens at Andy's home. That wouldn't happen until Toy Story 2, which didn't exist at the time. Buzz continuing to act like a real space ranger after him and Woody became friends. Although it could be stipulated that some of the shorts in this case could've conceivably happened in the relatively short timeframe between Andy receiving Buzz as a present and the night he took them with him to Pizza Planet. Buzz still has his wrist communicator sticker despite peeling it off during his Heroic BSoD in the first movie.

Artistic License – Paleontology: Played for Laughs. Rex claims the dinosaurs ruled the Earth for 72 million years. They actually were around for 165 million years. Even if you take it as Rex specifically referring to the Cretaceous Period, the last period of their rule, that was 65 million years.

Real Life Writes the Plot: Downplayed. When Toy Story was in theaters, Burger King had a set of kiddie meal toys consisting of Woody, Buzz, Hamm and Rex. "Fast Food" is a short more or less involving the actual characters encountering these toys.

Denser and Wackier: And how! There's gags such as Babyface turning Woody's hat into paper art by dancing over it, a ton of aliens coming out of a small wind-up toy car, Woody having a nightmare of a miniature Buzz flying into his nose, Woody somehow ending up with Buzz's shadow and deciding to play around with it, the aliens actually moving chess pieces through telekinesis, the list goes on.

Minimalist Cast: Woody, Buzz, Rex, Hamm, and Lenny are the only of Andy's named toys who appear in the shorts. Bizarrely, the cast is instead rounded out by the Little Green Men and Sid's toys.

Recycled Premise: Buzz being envious of upgrades on the Buzz Lightyear toyline, recycled in the form of the Utility Belt in Toy Story 2. A main character meeting a fast food kids' meal toy version of himself would be recycled in the Toy Story Toons short "Small Fry". Plus Woody commenting on the toys' greasy fast food smell.

Beyond the Impossible: Somehow, Woody winds up with Buzz's shadow, and proceeds to pose in front of the lamp, only for it to run off and get replaced with Woody's actual shadow while he's distracted by the Little Green Men. Babyface jumping out of a very tiny matrioshka egg. The Clown Car gag with a multitude of Pizza Planet aliens coming out of the same vehicle.
