List of Toy Story characters

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

Toys

Andy's house

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

Woody

Woody (full name Woody Pride) is an old-fashioned pull-string stuffed cowboy doll with plastic head and hands. 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 two 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. In Toy Story, Woody is the leader of the toys in Andy's room and does whatever he can to make sure that they are safe including holding regular meetings to keep the toys up to date on Andy and Molly. Other times he will hold meetings about "What to do when you or a part of you is swallowed." along with other topics.

When one is in doubt, they usually turn to Woody for help. Woody is very touchy about his position as room leader. When Buzz Lightyear barges in, he takes the loss of attention rather hard and gets jealous. Eventually he tries to trick Buzz into saving a toy(which is really a magic 8 ball), that is trapped behind the desk. His intention was to not hurt Buzz, just to knock him down to the dark part of the desk (as mentioned in the Director's Commentary of the Toy Story 10th anniversary DVD). However, soon Buzz and Woody become the best of friends and together they lead Andy's room.

Some fans of the second movie seem to misunderstand Woody and Jessie's relationship. Some think that they are a couple or that they have feelings for one another. They do have a relationship, but it seems to be more of a brother-sister relationship, not a boyfriend-girlfriend as alot tend to think. Also, at the end of the second movie, Buzz falls head over heels for Jessie and the two seem to enter their own relationship. Woody's girlfriend is a porcelain lamp named Little Bo Peep or just plain Bo (as Woody affectionately calls her). Out of the two, Bo Peep seems to be the one who is a little more dominant as she is seen grabbing Woody by the neck using her cane every time she is about to give him a kiss or just wants him close. Bo Peep is also the one to console Woody whenever he is feeling down about a certain situation. Such as Andy getting a new favorite toy (Buzz), or when he was freaking out about how he couldn't find his hat.

Woody makes a cameo in a blooper A Bug's Life as a crewman when he enters the screen holding the clapper-board upside-down. Woody appears in a few bloopers of Toy Story 2: one is when Woody gets his bottom stuck in a duct-tape, another is when Woody plays pranks on Buzz, another being him finding Stinky Pete having a little too much fun with the Barbie dolls, and one blooper of Woody and Jessie where Jessie attempts to pull his string, but rips it off his back. Woody appears in the credits of the 2006 film Cars as a car. During the 3rd quarter of the Super Bowl on February 3, 2008, Woody, with Buzz, watch an ad for WALL-E while watching the game. Woody also appears in the Toy Story Midway Mania! attraction at the Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's California Adventure theme parks in Florida and California, USA. Woody is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer Video Game.

Buzz Lightyear

Buzz Lightyear is a high-tech "Space Ranger from Star Command" action figure whose arrival creates jealousy in Woody; but eventually they both turned around. He is voiced by Tim Allen in the films and Patrick Warburton in the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command television show. Buzz is inspired by John Lasseter's doll and his early names were Lunar Larry and Tempus from Morph. In Toy Story 2, a "Bonus Belt" Buzz took the original Buzz's Place because the other Buzz trapped him inside a box and set it on a shelf (since the imposter does not know he is a toy, similar to the Buzz from the 1st Toy Story).

In Toy Story, Woody constantly tells Buzz that he is a toy. Buzz doesn't believe Woody and thinks that he is in fact the real Buzz Lightyear. When Buzz sees a Buzz Lightyear commercial in Sid's home, he finally realizes that he is a toy. Still in somewhat denial, he attempts to fly out of a window in Sid's house (breaking his arm in the process, which was later fixed by Sid's toys). It wasn't until Woody talked to him that Buzz finally came to accept that he was indeed a toy and that Andy would love him regardless. By the end of the first Toy Story and through out the second movie, Buzz has a more "down to earth" personality. Near the end of Toy Story 2, Buzz is the one who tells Woody who he truly is: "You're not a collector's item. You're a child's plaything. YOU ARE A TOY!" He then goes on to say, "Somewhere in that pad of stuffing is a toy who taught me that life's only worth living if you're being loved by a kid. And I traveled all this way to rescue that toy because I believed him." It is this that helps Woody realize that it's better to live a short life and enjoy it, instead of living forever and not having much to live for.

In the end of Toy Story 2, Buzz shows another side to his personality as he talks to Jessie. He appears to be quite nervous as he tries his best to summon up the courage to talk to her. He tries to say that he thinks that she is a smart woman with beautiful hair, but he ends up messing up his words. As he walks away (clearly embarrassed), Jessie grabs him and responds by saying that he is the sweetest space toy that she's ever met. Shortly after this when Wheezy sings "You've Got a Friend in Me", Buzz and Jessie are seen standing next to each other (Jessie relaxing her arm on Buzz, both smiling), enjoying the song with their friends and fellow couple Woody and Bo Peep. In Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins, Jessie walks alongside Buzz as they go to see what all their friends are talking about. Buzz talks to Jessie saying, "Oh look, it's a Buzz Lightyear movie". Woody then teases Buzz in front of Jessie by saying "Well you don't look so fat when they draw you that way.", Buzz gives a quick look to Jessie and then makes a sarcastic laugh to Woody. When Rex plays a prank on Andy's toys (at the end of the Buzz Lightyear intro), Buzz and Jessie exchange glances and smile at each other. After this, Buzz and Jessie sit next to each other as the movie starts. In the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command TV series, Buzz is always sitting next to Jessie during the various intros. On the early toy story website after Toy Story 2 came out there was an interview with all the characters. There is one interview with Bo Peep, she was asked "Are you worried about Woody's relationship with Jessie?" she replies by saying " There is nothing to worry about, me and Jessie are good friends. Woody and Jessie act like brother and sister more than anything else. Now it's not Woody, but a certain space toy who is head over heels for Jessie, but you didn't hear that from me!" During the 3rd quarter of the Super Bowl on February 3, 2008, Buzz and Woody watch an ad for WALL-E while watching the game.

The bloopers of Toy Story 2 show black face-markers and outlined circles on Buzz's helmet, as well as the phrase "This Space For Rent" on his wings, with Buzz accusing Woody for those drawings. Buzz appears in the credits of the 2006 film Cars as a space rover. Buzz is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer Video Game.

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 character of 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 of 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 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 not to believe that Woody would intentionally harm Buzz when he accidentally knocks 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 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."

When Toy Story 2 came out there was interviews with all the characters on the official movie site. There is one interview with Bo Peep, she was asked "Are you worried about Woody's relationship with Jessie?" she replies: " There is nothing to worry about, me and Jessie are good friends. Woody and Jessie act like brother and sister more than anything else. Now it's not Woody, but a certain space toy who is head over heels for Jessie, but you didn't hear that from me!"

She is voiced by Annie Potts. Bo Peep is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer Video Game.

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.

Hamm

Hamm 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 the 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 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 from Al. It is during that mission when he displays embarrassment after his cork falls out, requesting 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 is the first to spot a "Bonus Belt" Buzz (but later, the toys are able to rejoin with the "true" Buzz). After the toys return home, Hamm attempts to beat a "Buzz Lightyear: Attack on Zurg" video game that is previously tried by Rex, but fails and switches the TV channel in frustration, only to witness a sobbing Al in the commercial for Al's Toy Barn; this satisfies Hamm very much. His voice is performed by John Ratzenberger, who has a voice part in every Pixar film. Hamm looks to be modeled after the pink plastic Piggy Bank by Little Tikes. Hamm is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer Video Game.

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 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 cemtimeters/inches away from his main body. For example, he could see even if his detachable eyes are removed, as well as being able to move his hands if they were detached. In Toy Story, after Buzz is knocked out of the window, Mr. 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. He continues to admit Woody's guilt in the window incident, especially when he learns about Woody's disappearance. Later, Woody throws a string of Christmas lights from Sid's house to Andy's house; Slinky catches it, but Mr. 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, Mr. Potato Head 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, Mr. Potato Head orders the other toys to "toss him overboard;" however, when Bo Peep reveals that "Woody was telling the truth," Mr. Potato Head realizes his error and compensates by holding onto Slinky's tail so Slinky could help Woody, Buzz, and RC back into the truck. 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. 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 Mr. 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 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 squish him. After the toys break into Al's room, Mr. Potato Head attempts to frighten Jessie by reaching into his back compartment for his angry eyes, but attaches his spare pare of shoes by mistake (especially after Mrs. Potato Head gives him his shoes and his angry eyes). When the toys leave the apartment after Al leaves with Woody, Mr. 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, Mr. Potato Head saves three alien toys from flying out the window (so that Mrs. Potato Head can adopt them later when he gets home to Mrs. Potato Head). He initially feels annoyed when the aliens repeatedly express their 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.

The audio commentary on the Toy Story 10th anniversary DVD jokes that he is an Irish-Catholic. He is seen as an Interactive Audio-Animatronic at Toy Story Midway Mania!. He is voiced by Don Rickles. Mr. Potato Head is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer Video Game.

Mrs. Potato Head

Mrs. Potato Head is Mr. Potato Head's wife. 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 Buzz not to talk to any foreign toys. 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. She is voiced by Estelle Harris. The bloopers show Mrs. Potato Head overloading her husband's back compartment with several unnecessary appendages.

Rex

Rex is a large, green, plastic Tyrannosaurus rex with a lot of anxiety from an inferiority complex ("I don't think I could take that kind of rejection!") and he is afraid he is not scary enough. He is voiced by Wallace Shawn. 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 better. In Toy Story, he states that he was made 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). He tries to avoid confronting Woody when he is accused of trying to kill Buzz, but slowly and reluctantly turns against him under peer pressure, quickly experiencing guilt later on. He is known to have a queasy stomach and actually barfed when he saw Buzz's dismembered arm. At the beginning of Toy Story 2, he is 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 he is all prepared with his video game experiences, Rex accompanies Buzz, Potato Head, Hamm, and Slinky on their mission to rescue Woody after Woody is stolen by Al McWhiggin of Al's Toy Barn. After the toys enter Al's Toy Barn, Rex excitedly finds a "Buzz Lightyear" video game manual, only to lose it later, but is still able to give Buzz (the toys take a "Bonus Belt" Buzz instead) some secrets he has acquired from the manual. 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 (at point blank range), he turns away, not bearing to look anymore, but his tail lashes out and knocks Zurg down the elevator shaft, making him feel overjoyed about finally defeating Zurg.

Rex is based on the Tyrannosaurus toy from the Dinoriders toyline. In a blooper 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 a blooper 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.

Sarge

Sarge is the gung-ho commander of an army of plastic toy soldiers from Bucket O Soldiers. He and the Bucket 'O' Soldiers are the plastic soldiers who are set in particular positions. The little green plastic soldiers are quite disciplined with a "Leave no man behind" policy and are masters of reconnaissance. Woody describes those soldiers 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 steps on. Sarge and his troops frequently help out their fellow toys. With their assistance, the toys discover what 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. After Woody knocks Buzz out the window, Sarge runs furiously, knowing that Woody is 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 their Christmas presents. 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. The voice of Sarge is performed by R. Lee Ermey.

Slinky Dog

Slinky is a toy dachshund with a metal slinky for a mid-section. He was voiced by Jim Varney. He is based on Slinky Dog, 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. Slinky is loyal to Sheriff Woody (who often calls him "Slink"), even when the other toys turn on him following the "window incident". Later, Slinky catches the string of Christmas lights thrown by Woody from Sid's house, but Mr. Potato Head snatches it away. Woody then pretends to the toys that Buzz is with him; Slinky orders Potato Head to hand over the string, but Potato Head, suspicious of what Woody is actually doing, refuses. When Woody blows away the cover by accidentally exposing Buzz's severed arm, Slinky, too, loses faith in Woody; however, he is one of the first to accept that Woody was not the villain the others had made him out to be. He appears to express remorse directly after participating in throwing Woody off the moving van, and even more so when it turns out Woody was telling the truth about Buzz. Once the toys learn from Bo Peep that "Woody was telling the truth," they all (including him) become guilty of what they've done to their leader. After the ramp is pulled down by Rocky, Slinky's tail is grabbed on by Potato Head and Rex, so Slinky will get Woody, Buzz, and RC back into the moving van, but RC's batteries are depleted, and he gets stretched out. 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 is one of the toys who goes on the 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, reaches for the case that contains Woody. Just as he opens the case and grabs Woody, the elevator reaches the lobby and Al walks out, causing Slinky to stretch out until the Prospector pulls Woody back into the case. At the airport, Slinky assists Buzz when the toys split into groups, but his hind-body gets hooked onto a luggage handle and is unable to follow Buzz as he 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. In one blooper, Slinky is seen caressing his hind-body after catching up with the group. Slinky is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer Video Game.

John Lasseter has recently found a friend of Jim Varney's who sounds a lot like him, and he will play Slinky for Toy Story 3 coming out in June 18, 2010.

Wheezy

Wheezy is an asthmatic squeeze penguin with a red bow tie, whom Woody meets after Andy's mom shelves him 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. He was voiced by the late Joe Ranft, and his singing voice was provided by the late Robert Goulet. In one blooper, when the microphone thrown by Mr. Mike hits Wheezy, Wheezy apologizes for "hurting" his equipment and reminds him to aim at his flippers. Another blooper shows Wheezy inadvertently "swallowing" his recently-replaced squeaker when he gets hit by Mr. Mike's microphone again.

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.

Hockey Puck

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 apparently cannot talk. 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.

Lenny

Lenny 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 is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer Video Game. In Toy Story, he was voiced by the late Joe Ranft, who voiced Wheezy in Toy Story 2.

In one blooper, it is revealed that Lenny has left two black outlined circles on Buzz's helmet (which Buzz accuses Woody for doing so).

Mike

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".

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.

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. RC will also be shown in Toy Story 3 in June of 2010.

Rocky

Rocky 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. As with Troll, Rocky is silent and plays an unimportant 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. 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.

Roly Poly Clown

Roly Poly Clown is a rocking chiming clown toy with a hand-painted-jacket with yellow strips. He can't talk.

1989 See 'n Say The Farmer Says

See 'n Say "The Farmer Says" educational toy for toddlers by Mattel, appears only in the first Toy Story. Featured animals clockwise from top: sheep, dog, duck, frog, horse, coyote, rooster, pig, cow, bird, cat and turkey. It is always seen alongside with Mr. Spell.

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, "Look, I'm Woody! Howdy! Howdy! Howdy!" 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. 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. In the special Toy Story 2 disc edition Toy Story treats he tells toy "terror stories". Shark's voice is played by Jack Angel.

Other background characters in Andy's room

• Barrel of Monkeys is a 1960's preschool game by Lakeside Toys. Andy owns an early 90's 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 realise that they need several hundred more to build a ladder long enough for "Buzz" to climb. They appear during the bloopers in Toy Story 2 in which Mrs. Potato Head accidentally attracts them with monkey chow.

• Magic 8-Ball is a "fortune-telling" toy by Tyco. In the first Toy Story, 8-Ball is seen on Andy's desk. In Toy Story 2, 8-Ball lies on Andy's top bookshelf next to a forgotten Wheezy and Rock-a-Stack, an old, dusty baby toy by Fisher-Price. In the first film, Woody attempts to use the ball 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 the ball 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. As it was only seen in this brief period, it is unknown if the ball is alive since it was seen in the second film in the box when Wheezy was taken. It is likely that the Magic 8 Ball can only communicate through its answer triangles

• Snake and Robot: Snake is a green-purple jointed rattlesnake. Snake's friend is a Rock'N Robot by Playskool. Robot can talk, but Snake can not. They belong to lesser-known toys.

• Toddle Tots Fire Truck is a set of 90's 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.

• 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 isn't actually a regular character. She is just a pink-haired Troll doll with an abnormally cute face, which 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. It's unknown what kind of troll doll she is, but Troll looks very similar to trolls made by Russ Berrie in the late eighties. Troll is friendly with Bo Peep and Rocky Gibraltar.

• 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 with Mr. Spell and Hamm when Buster sets his new record of 13.5 seconds on finding Woody in Toy Story 2.

• Three Barbie Singers are another of Molly's toys. They perform as backing vocalists when Wheezy sings his song in the end of Toy Story 2.

• 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

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).

Hannah's Dolls

• For the Janie doll, see The Janie Doll and Pterodactyl under the Mutant Toys section.
• Sally is apparently 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 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), 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. They were built by Sid from mixed pieces of several toys, both his and Hannah's (hence the baby doll's parts). They don't talk (probably due to the mutilations they suffered) and 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 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.

Babyface

Babyface - the apparent leader of the mutants, he is a one-eyed male Baby Doll head atop a spider-like body with crab-like pinchers made of Erector set pieces. Babyface lives in the shadows under Sid's bed. One way Babyface 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, Babyface, suspended by Legs, lands on Sid's head, scaring him. Babyface is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer Video Game.

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 ceiling by Legs, swings toward the doorbell until he finally presses it, giving Woody a signal to release the Frog. Ducky catches the Frog and Legs pulls both toys up to safety.

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 pulls both toys up to safety.

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. The hand also grabs Sid's leg when Sid is being surrounded by the mutant toys.

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 from a Mickey Mouse figure. He appears at the part when he turns Woody's flashlight off by pressing the button.

Legs

Legs - the only female mutant toy. She is a toy fishing rod with Barbie doll legs. She is apparently very strong, being able to hold Ducky's and Babyface'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 Babyface onto Sid's head, scaring the evil toy-destroying kid.

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 walks on the Rocky doll's hands.

RollerBob

RollerBob - 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 for Scud to chase after, RollerBob ferries Woody and the other mutant toys outside the house to Sid's backyard.

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.

The Janie Doll and Pterodactyl

The Janie Doll and Pterodactyl - Hannah's beloved rag doll Janie and Sid's creepy toy Pterodactyl 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 taped back their heads on the correct bodies. In the scene when the toys attack Sid, Janie says "Red Rum" in a reference to The Shining (however, this can be inturrupted 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 Sid gave to his dog), 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 soldier with a nail in his head, and a headless soldier with a broken leg.

Al's Toy Barn/Al's house

Jessie

Jessie is a character in Toy Story 2, voiced by Joan Cusack (yodeling and fictional TV show voice by Mary Kay Bergman). In the movie, she is 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, Woody's horse. Jessie is essentially a female counterpart to Woody, except that she's much more excitable than him. Other than that, her trademarks are her red hair, green eyes and her tendency to yodel when she's excited. Her hair is in the style of a ponytail braid with a yellow bow decorated on the tip.

Jessie, however, hides a great deal of sadness behind her playful personality, as she was dumped into the darkness of storage after her original owner, Emily, outgrew her. Years in the dark have also made her claustrophobic. This causes bitterness toward Woody when he intends to go back to his owner Andy instead of going to the museum with the rest of the gang. The Prospector frames Jessie for turning on the tv which causes Al to wake up and ruin Woody's chances of leaving. As a result, Woody confronts Jessie. Woody calls Jessie a liar and after Jessie dares him to say it again, she pounces on him screaming "Take it back!", she finishes their fight by putting him in a wrestling move (similar to the one Buzz had him in the first movie), as Prospector tells them to stop. After learning about Jessie's tragic story, Woody decides to stay, making Jessie happy again. There is some ongoing chemistry between Jessie and Woody, akin to that of a brother and sister since Woody already has a girlfriend in Bo Peep, a porcelain shepherdess figure. At the end of the film, Jessie and Bullseye are adopted as part of Andy's toys and Buzz seems to have formed feelings for her, though he nervously babbles his words by describing her as a "bright young woman with a beautiful yarnful of hair, hairful of yarn". She embraces him and returns his 'compliment' by describing him as the "sweetest space toy she ever met". After that, she and Buzz are seen together with Woody and Bo Peep as they enjoy watching Wheezy sing "You've Got a Friend in Me."

On the early toy story website after Toy Story 2 came out there was an interview with all the characters. With Jessie's interview one of the questions that was asked was "Where would you like to live if it wasn't in Andy's Room?" to which she replied "I'll live anywhere as long as I'm with my friends."

In one blooper, Jessie accidentally pulls Woody's entire string out. Jessie makes a cameo in Monsters, Inc. where she is one of the toys that belong to "Boo".

Bullseye

Bullseye 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 renditioned 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, 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. Buzz commanders Bullseye to follow Woody after being separated, as they are seen galloping next to the wheels of the plane Woody and Jessie are on. 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 and Jessie are now part of Andy's toys. 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, he uses "body language" to "speak". According to a character interview that use to be up on the early 90's toy story site, Bullseye communitcated with Jessie while in storage by tapping his hooves to yes or no questions. He was originally going to be voiced by Martin Short, but John Lasseter and the Pixar crew had decided to make him like a giant puppy-dog.

Stinky Pete the Prospector

Stinky Pete, also known as the Prospector, is a portly prospector doll, and is one of the main villains of Toy Story 2. His voice is performed by Kelsey Grammer. 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, Woody's horse. The Prospector doll seen in the film has never been opened and is still "Mint in the Box", making him sought after by collectors.

In contrast to the character on the show, who was portrayed as an idiot hillbilly, the toy is quite intelligent, manipulative and well-spoken and, when he first appears, comes across as a father-figure and counsellor. Sadly, the Prospector spent a life time on a dime store shelf watching every other toy be sold, until Al McWhiggin eventually found him. He has a strong prejudice towards space toys (especially Buzz Lightyear), which arose due to the popularity of space travel and related toys in his time which put cowboy toys out of fashion.

Ultimately it is the Prospector who sabotages Woody's attempts to escape from Al and return to his real owner, Andy. 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 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 who have experienced the joys of living with children and want to relive the experience as much as possible. This leads to a showdown at the airport, where the Prospector punches Buzz, who has come to rescue Woody, off the ramp. Woody then fights the Prospector for harming his best friend, but the Prospector reopens an old rip in Woody's arm and is about to finish Woody off when the toys blind him and stun him with a flash camera. Thinking that the Prospector should now learn the "true meaning of playtime," Woody instructs the toys to dump the Prospector into a Barbie backpack that belongs to a little girl called Amy, who enjoys decorating her dolls' faces with tattoos.

On the early toy story website after Toy Story 2 came out there was an interview with all the characters. Prospector talked about how he was getting use to Amy decorating him and he actually liked it.

He is the only real toy villain in the Toy Story movies, though there is an element of sympathy given the fact that he has been confined to a box since the 1950s when the original show was made. In one blooper, the Prospector is seen talking to two Barbie dolls in the box, promising them a role in Toy Story 3. In another blooper, while giving Woody a choice to go back or stay, the Prospector accidentally "farts", hence why he is called "Stinky Pete".

Barbie

Barbie is a Barbie doll 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 below). After the bloopers of the film, Tour Guide Barbie waves goodbye to the audience until her face hurts from smiling.

Bonus Belt Buzz (Wrong Buzz)

The Bonus Belt Buzz, referred to as the "Wrong Buzz" is a Buzz Lightyear action figure, one of the latest in its line, and wears a special, limited-edtition ant-gravitational belt. 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 of the Wrong Buzz. Immeadiately as Buzz tries to swipe the belt for himself, he is arrested by the Wrong Buzz. Like Buzz's personality in the first film, he believes that he is a real space ranger (however, is aware that there are hundreds of other Buzz Lightyear "space rangers" like himself. 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, Wrong Buzz quickly decides to tag along. While the gang search Al's Toy Barn with the new Buzz, 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 the Wrong Buzz, much to his chagrin. Rex defeats the Zurg out of random, and while it falls off of the elevator to its apparent doom, Wrong Buzz is suddenly upset. When the gang exit the elevator to try and prevent Al from delivering Woody to Japan, we see Wrong Buzz playing catch with his "dad", the Zurg toy, which has apparently lost his mind after the fall.

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 in Toy Story 2, in which he is voiced by Andrew Stanton. A Zurg action figure is accidentally released by Buzz when he escapes from Al's Toy Barn. Believing himself to be real much like Buzz has done in the first film and "Bonus Belt" Buzz does in the second film, Zurg gives chase to destroy Buzz. In the elevator shaft, Zurg confronts Buzz, who is accompanied by another Buzz who also believes himself to be real. Buzz #2 battles him, during which Zurg reveals (in an extremely obvious parody of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back) that he is his father. Just as he is about to finish Buzz #2 off (at point-blank range), Zurg is then accidentally knocked down the shaft by Rex, but he survives to establish a real father-son relationship with Buzz #2, as they are seen playing catch after Andy's Buzz and the other toys leave the apartment.

Zurg is the main boss in the "Buzz Lightyear" video game in the movie, on which Rex always gets stuck due to his lack of experience, and thumbs. Thus making him quite excited when he "defeats" Zurg for real in the elevator shaft. His weapon is an "ion blaster" he wields in his right hand; while the blaster in the fictional "Buzz Lightyear" universe has enough power to blast Buzz's upper body to smithereens, the toy counterpart is a spring-loaded gun that can fire plastic balls (which he uses to play catch with Buzz #2). In Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, he is voiced by Wayne Knight, who voices Al in Toy Story 2

Others

Squeeze Toy Aliens

Squeeze Toy Aliens are a bunch of three-eyed space aliens voiced by Jeff Pidgeon in the motion pictures Toy Story and Toy Story 2. They appear to be promotional toys for Pizza Planet, as they wear uniforms with 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. 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. 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".

Humans

Andy Davis

Andy Davis is an eight-year-old boy and 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 two new toys, Jessie and Bullseye, added into his collection.

Whenever Andy receives new toys, he always labels them with his name on the soles of their feet. For Bullseye's case, Andy prints each individual letter of his name on each of Bullseye's hoof.

In the first two films, Andy lives with his mother and his sister, Molly. Mr. Davis is not seen in the movie. In Toy Story 3, Andy has grown up, is attending college, and leaves his toys at a day-care center.

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.

Andy is voiced by John Morris

• Molly Davis is Andy's one-year-old baby sister. She is an infant in Toy Story and a toddler in Toy Story 2. Her squealing voice in Toy Story is supplied by Hannah Unkrich, Lee Unkrich's daughter.

• Mrs. Davis is the mother of Andy and Molly. Although implied, it is not clear if she's a single parent, though background information such as Ultimate Guides to the Films indicate she's a widow. 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.

Sid Phillips

Sid Phillips is a hyperactive, ten-year-old boy and the main villain of the first film. He was Andy's vicious neighbour (until Andy moved), and the worst nightmare any toy could have. Sid is a young, bratty skate punk with metal braces, whose idea of fun is terrorizing his sister and destroying toys in various methods (exploding, burning or in his "mad doctor" plays). He also enjoys skateboarding. 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, considering all the things he had done with them.

• Hannah Phillips is Sid's 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 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 on a La-Z-Boy when Buzz enters the TV room.

• Mrs. Phillips is not seen, but Hannah calls for her on several occasions and calls to Sid twice in the film.

Al McWhiggin

Albert 'Al' McWhiggin is the toy dealer who steals Woody in Toy Story 2 in hope of selling him to a Japanese toy museum, serving as the main antagonist of the second film. Al is unscrupulously obsessive, overweight, very impatient and lazy; he is voiced by and modeled after Wayne Knight (during the production of Toy Story 2, Knight had a goatee, like Al in the movie). 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, Al stealthily 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.

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. Because the toys fail to reach Japan to Al's client, his "Woody's Roundup" collection is rejected, and it is assumable that he and his business go bankrupt, as seen at the end of the movie when Hamm and Rex are watching a TV commercial for Al's Toy Barn in which a sobbing Al says that his store has the lowest prices in town. Hamm comments on this by saying: "Well, I guess crime doesn't pay."

Al's last name was revealed on the nameplate on his office desk. According to Disney Adventures magazine, Al wasn't allowed to play with his toys as a child. This, in turn, led to his toy collecting niche.

Geri the Cleaner

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 was originally in the 1997 Pixar short-film entitled Geri's Game, voiced by Bob Peterson.

Other humans

• 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."
• 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 tell that she has grown up, finding more mature things to do and forgetting about Jessie, through the duration of the song. After some time, she finds Jessie under the bed, and she is last seen as a young woman when she steps out of the car and places Jessie in a charity box before driving away with her mother.
• 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 denying to go back with his friends to Andy's house.
• In the beginning of Toy Story, when Andy is playing Woody in the downstairs going to the living room, old pictures are seen with Andy (who was as a scout) and his mother and baby-sister, Molly.
• 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.
• Additional human characters are noticeable for a short time at the Pizza Planet restaurant in Toy Story, and at the yard sale and the airport in Toy Story 2.
  • 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, only to be scared away by Slinky who barks at her.
  • 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 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. He and the toys are friends and he's fiercely loyal to Woody, obeying all commands given to him by Woody. 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. After the toys return home, Jessie helps Buster out of the room, and he is last seen with Andy and his family as they go out on another drive.

Crazy Critters

Crazy Critters are a bunch of animal characters from 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. They come quickly when Jessie calls them. Woody understands them in the cartoon "Woody's Roundup."

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 employer 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.

Scud

Scud is Sid's vicious bull terrier and horrible "toy-chewer machine" in Toy Story. 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 he spots, 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.

Lawn Gnome

Lawn Gnome, mentioned by Hamm in Toy Story 2, is an unseen character, but apparentely is close enough to Andy's toys to help them look for Woody's hat. His job was to search the yard.

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 out of here?! You're interfering with the search and rescue!" a cat screech is heard.

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. Buzz destroys them by shooting a giant crystal with his laser, and sending hundreds of lasers through the lines of robots. 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 bloopers (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.

Speck is Andy's second dog. He appeared in a Disney Adventures Comic. Unlike Buster, he was very violent and none of the toys liked him. But after he saved Woody from being run over by an RV, he was dubbed a hero. He looks like a beagle mix.
