[edit] Toys
[edit] Andy's house
[edit] Woody
Woody 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, and 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. In Toy Story, Woody is the leader of the toys in Andy's room and is considered a force to be reckoned with. When one is in doubt, they usually turn to Woody for aid. Woody is very touchy about his position as room leader; therefore, when Buzz Lightyear budges in, he takes the loss of attention rather hard and goes on a campaign to try and eliminate Buzz. However, soon Buzz and Woody become friends and together they lead Andy's room. Woody also appears in the Toy Story Midway Mania! attraction at the Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's California Adventure theme parks.
[edit] Buzz
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 name was Tempus from Morph. In the credits of the 2006 film Cars Buzz was a car. In Toy Story 2, Buzz "with a bonus belt Buzz" took original Buzz's Place due to that he was locked in a box and set on a shelf (since the imposter didn't know he's a toy). He was like the Buzz from Toy Story.
[edit] 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. She is noted for using her shepherdess crook to hook her cowboy and bring him closer in a romantic way. She is voiced by Annie Potts.
[edit] 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.
[edit] Sarge
Sarge is the gung-ho commander of an army of plastic toy soldiers from Bucket O Soldiers. The little green plastic soldiers are quite disciplined with a "Leave no man behind" policy and are masters of espionage. Sarge and his troops frequently help out their fellow toys. With their assistance the toys discover what the kids are getting on Birthdays and Christmas. After Woody knocks Buzz out the window, he runs furious, knowing that Woody is not a worty captain, and shouts to Woody, "WHERE IS YOUR HONOR, DIRTBAG? YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE! YOU DON'T DESERVE TO...(Woody closes the lid to the bucket before he could finish his sentence)" After a 5 second pause, both him and the other Green Army Men jump up on Woody's body and "attack" him. The voice of Sarge was performed by R. Lee Ermey. They are named after a commander in Army Men Series.
[edit] Mr. Potato Head
Mr. 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 cm/inches away from his main body. After the wild ride in the Pizza Planet Truck where he saved three alien toys from flying out the window, he and his wife apparently ended up adopting them as their children. The audio commentary on the 10th anniversary DVD jokes that he is an Irish-Catholic. He is voiced by Don Rickles.
[edit] Rex
Rex is a 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 a video game fan and is very frustrated that he cannot beat the "Buzz Lightyear: Attack on Zurg" video game. He is voiced by Wallace Shawn. Rex's worst fear (after Sid) is that Andy will gain another, scarier dinosaur. In Toy Story, he states that he was made by a subsidiary of Mattel. (Coincidentally, real-life Rex toys are now made by Hasbro.) Rex is based on the tyrannosaurus toy from the Dinoriders toyline.
[edit] Hamm
Hamm is a wise-cracking talking plastic piggy bank with a cork in his belly. He and Potato Head appear to be best friends, as they are often seen playing games and clapping hands with each other whenever something spectacular happened. Also, Hamm takes a dislike to the chicken mascot of Al's Toy Barn; especially, when he later realizes that the mascot and the owner of Al's Toy Barn, Al McWhiggin are the same man. 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.
[edit] 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. Mrs. Potato Head and her husband become adoptive parents of the three Squeeze Aliens that Andy's toys found in the Pizza Planet truck and brought home. She is voiced by Estelle Harris.
[edit] Slinky
Slinky is a toy dachshund with a metal slinky for a mid-section. He was voiced by Jim Varney. He is supposed to be by voiced by Lou Romano in Toy Story 3. 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, even when the other toys turn on him following the "window incident". Although eventually he, too, loses faith in Woody, he is one of the first to accept that Woody was not the villain the others had made him out to be. After Bo Peep and the other toys realize Woody was telling the truth about Buzz, the toys (including him) become guilty of their attempt to confront Woody saying he was lying. In Toy Story 2, Slinky is one of the toys who goes on the mission to rescue Woody. His spring mechanism comes in handy several times throughout the course of the mission.
[edit] Wheezy
Wheezy is an asthmatic squeeze penguin with a red bow tie, whom Woody rescued from a yard sale in Toy Story 2. He was about to be sold because his "squeaker" was broken, but at the end of Toy Story 2 he's got a new one and sings the ending theme of the movie. Voiced by Joe Ranft, singing by Robert Goulet.
[edit] Minor or background characters
[edit] Etch
Etch is an Etch-A-Sketch magic screen by Ohio Art Company. Etch is able to draw quickly and, not surprisingly, very well.
[edit] 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.
[edit] Shark
Shark is the squeaky rubber shark from Andy's toy box. 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. In Toy Story, When Woody wakes up in the toy-box, he 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 and laughs in a sarcastic, hysterically (like "Aha! Aha!")way and "swipes" his hat off Shark's head. Shark's voice is played by Jack Angel.
[edit] Lenny
Lenny is a pair of binoculars with feet. He seems to walk pretty slowly due to his stubby and short feet, which usually is the reason he gets to his right place just right before Andy arrives to his room. He is actually used as binoculars even by the other toys in various situations. He was voiced by Joe Ranft.
[edit] Mike
Mike is a toy tape recorder by Playskool who helps Woody to amplify his voice when the toys have a staff meeting. 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".
[edit] Mr. Spell
Mr. Spell is based on a popular 1970s Speak & Spell toy by Texas Instruments. Frequently holds seminars on a variety of topics such as "what to do if you or part of you is swallowed".
[edit] RC
RC is Andy's remote controlled car and a real speed demon. 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). He gets his name after the "Tyco R/C" toy line from Mattel. RC also stands for "Radio Controlled"
[edit] 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. Rocky's name and a logo on his championship belt are a references to the Rock of Gibraltar and possibly Rocky Balboa. The inspiration for the inclusion of the "Rock" and Gibraltar came from Pixar designer/animator Bud Luckey's time spent in the British Crown Colony of Gibraltar while serving in the United States Air Force in the 1950's.
[edit] Other background characters in Andy's room
- Snake and Robot A green-purple jointed rattlesnake. his friend is a Rock'N Robot by Playskool are the "Jay and Silent Bob" (Robot can talk, but Snake can not) of Andy's room. They belong to lesser-known toys.
- Troikas are a set of five plastic egg-shaped toys in the style of Matryoshka doll with a pics of those animals: bulldog (largest), cat (second largest), drake (medium), goldfish (second smallest) and ladybug (smallest). Troikas are based on Little Tikes Nested Farm Animals.
- Bucket 'O' Soldiers are the plastic soldiers who are set in particular positions. They go on missions to help Andy's toys check up on Andy's and other's activities. The soldiers go and find out; Andy's birthday presents at his Birthday Party and Andy's and Molly's Christmas presents towards the end of Toy Story.
- 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. Troll doesn't speak. She communicates by shaking her head for yes/no questions, as seen in Toy Story 2. Troll lives with Shark and Clownball 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.
- Toddle Tots Fire Truck is a set of 90's toddler toys including four Fireman 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.
- 1989 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. He always is seen alongside with Mr. Spell
- 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.
- 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.
- Roly Poly Clown is a rocking chiming clown toy, with a party hat and hand-painted jacket with yellow stripes with two big flowery green buttons. A giant version of this toy can be seen at the end of Monsters Inc.
- 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. They're Molly's toys and can been seen on Andy's desk in the first Toy Story.
- Three Barbie Singers are another of Molly's toys. They perform as backing vocalists when Wheezy sings his song at the end of Toy Story 2.
- In the first 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.
[edit] Sid's house
[edit] Blown toys
[edit] 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).
[edit] Hannah's Dolls
- Sally is apparently Hannah's replacement 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 based on their headlessness, rather than the actual name of one of the toys.
[edit] 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.
[edit] 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. 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. Babyface lives in the shadows under Sid's bed.
[edit] 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 speak in the film (only in Quacks similar to Donald Duck's quacks).
[edit] 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.
[edit] Background Sid's house characters
- 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.
- RollerBob - a jet pilot action figure whose torso has been attached to an Old school Mini-skateboard.
- Jingle Joe - another triple toy combination. He is a Combat Carl head (might be the one from the toy Sid blew up) 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.
- Hand-in-the-box - a green rubber Frankenstein's Monster-like hand in a Jack-in-the-box casing. Communicates in hand signals.
- 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.
- Walking Car - a yellow 1957 Chevrolet Corvette car with small baby doll arms. He can very quickly run and climb.
- 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 in which the toys attack Sid, Janie says "Red Rum" in a reference to The Shining (however, this could be interpreted as only Mama).
Also, when Sid is attacked, there can been seen a bunch of other broken toys, including a Squeeze Toy Alien (the one Sid gave to his dog), a burned rag doll (who repetitively 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.
[edit] Al's Toy Barn and Al's home
[edit] Jessie
Jessie is a character in Toy Story 2, voiced by Joan Cusack (singing voice by Sarah McLachlan). 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 bright red "yarnful of hair" and her tendency to yodel when excited.
Jessie, however, hides a good 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 somewhat claustrophobic. 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 figure. At the end of the movie, Jessie and Bullseye are adopted as part of Andy's toys and Buzz seems to have formed an attachment to her, though he babbles his words by describing her as a bright young woman with a beautiful "yarnful of hair, hairful of yarn". She returns the 'compliment' by describing him as the "sweetest space toy she ever met".
[edit] Stinky Pete the prospector
Stinky Pete is a portly prospector doll. 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 Stinky Pete 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 and well-spoken and, when he first appears, comes across as a father-figure and counsellor. Sadly, Stinky Pete 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 dislike towards space toys (especially Buzz) which, thanks to the launch of Sputnik, resulted in their rising popularity and putting cowboy toys out of fashion.
Pete 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 probably was makes him so bitter and resentful. He sees children as destroyers of toys whose ultimate fate will be landfill sites. 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.
Thanks to his friends, Woody soon gets the upper hand and Pete's fate is to end up with a little girl called Amy who enjoys decorating her dolls' faces with crayons.
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 most of his life, which must hark back to the 1950s where the original show was made.
[edit] Bullseye
Bullseye is from 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, Woody's horse. Both the Bullseye of the television show and the toy are fiercely loyal and obedient to Woody. When Woody ultimately decides to return to Andy's room, it is Bullseye's loyalty that causes Woody to try and get the other toys to join him. Bullseye acts doglike in many ways. In the end, both he and Jessie are now part of Andy's toys. Unlike most of the other toys, Bullseye cannot communicate in clear speech but sounds like an actual horse. 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.
[edit] Background Al's home/Toy-Barn toys
- Emperor Zurg was Buzz Lightyear's arch-enemy, but after he reveals that he is Buzz Lightyear's father (he states this in a Darth Vader type of voice) the Buzz clone and Zurg seem to develop a real father-son relationship (Zurg is playing catch with the Buzz clone at the end of the original movie, using his ball-shooter). Also, Zurg is the main boss in the "Buzz Lightyear" video game in the movie, and Zurg's design is reminiscent of Darth Vader. His weapon is a ball-shooter in his right hand. Zurg is voiced by Andrew Stanton. He is defeated in the fight with Buzz on top of the elevator by Rex who'd always wanted to defeat him and is knocked off the elevator though he survives to play catch with the Buzz Clone later. In Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, he is voiced by Wayne Knight.
- Tour Guide Barbie is a Barbie doll from Al's Toy Barn. She and all of the other Barbie dolls in the film are voiced by Jodi Benson, best known for playing Ariel in The Little Mermaid. 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 were driving and helps them locate Buzz Lightyear. At the end of the original film, Tour Guide Barbie waves goodbye to the audience until her face hurts.
- Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots are a set of two fighting blue and red robots by Mattel from Al's office in Toy Story 2. The missing ear on one of the robots is a reference to the notorious Mike Tyson - Evander Holyfield match, in which Tyson bit off a piece of Holyfield's ear. They are voiced by John Lasseter (blue) and Lee Unkrich (red).
[edit] Miscellaneous
[edit] 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. These identical toys were 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." Three of these toys are rescued by Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story 2 and become attached to him. Mrs. Potato Head chooses to adopt them. They appear to be promotional toys for Pizza Planet, as they wear uniforms with restaurant's logo. 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.
[edit] Barbie on Backpack
Barbie on Backpack was a Barbie whose face was drawn on by the little girl named Amy who owns her. She seems happy enough with her owner, despite the stickers and pen marks on her face, and some of her hair being cut off. She calls Amy "an artist".
[edit] "Bonus Belt" Buzz
"Bonus Belt" Buzz. When Andy's Buzz Lightyear accidentally frees a powerful "Bonus Belt" Buzz, he got locked up in a case and "Bonus Belt" Buzz takes his place. He, like the Buzz from Toy Story, believes that he is a real space ranger. He is last seen playing ball with his "father" Zurg at the end of Toy Story 2, although it is unknown where he could be nowadays. He is voiced by Tim Allen, who also voices the original Buzz.
[edit] Humans
[edit] Andy
Andy is the owner of Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the other toys. Unlike Sid, he treats his toys 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. At the end of Toy Story, Andy, his family and toys have all moved to a new house and he receives a puppy. 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.
Andy lives with his mother and his sister, Molly. His father is not seen in the movie; an urban legend is that he was killed in the first Gulf War, but that is not canon to the Toy Story universe.
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.
- 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 is voiced by Laurie Metcalf.
- Molly Davis is Andy's one year old baby sister. She is an infant in Toy Story and a toddler in Toy Story 2. She is voiced by Hannah Unkrich (toddler only), daughter of Lee Unkrich.
[edit] Sidney Phillips
Main Article: Sid Phillips
Sidney 'Sid' Phillips is a hyperactive, disturbed, thirteen-year-old boy and the main villain of the first film. He was Andy's vicious neighbor (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 many ways (exploding, burning or in his "mad doctor" plays). He also likes 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 albeit disturbingly odd ways. At the end of the original movie, when Woody and Sid's toys decide to save Buzz by scaring Sid, he becomes very frightened of toys, considering all the things he had done with them.
- Hannah Phillips is Sid's frail little sister. She cherishes her dolls and holds pretend tea parties with them. Her toys are often the victims of Sid's activities. She is voiced by Sarah Freeman.
- Mr. Phillips is seen asleep on a La-Z-Boy when Buzz enters the TV room. It is possible that he is abusive; this would explain some of Sid's dysfunctionality, and why Scud stopped pursuing Buzz into the room when he noticed Mr. Phillips.
- Mrs. Phillips is not seen, but Hannah calls for her on several occasions and calls to Sid twice in the film.
[edit] Al
Albert 'Al' McWhiggin is the toy dealer who steals Woody in Toy Story 2 in hope of selling him to a Japanese toy museum. Al is unscrupulously obsessive, overweight and lazy; he is voiced by and modeled after Wayne Knight (during Toy Story 2's production, Knight had a goatee, like Al in the movie). Al is the owner of a toy shop called Al's Toy Barn and the main villain in Toy Story 2. The store is first seen in an advertisement during the original Toy Story, but Al did not appear. He is first seen in Toy Story 2 during an advertisement in which he dresses in a chicken suit. Later, he is seen trying to buy Woody at a garage sale being 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, 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 are unable to reach Japan to Al's client, he and his business went bankrupted, as seen at the end of the movie, in which Hamm and Rex are watching a commercial for Al's Toy Barn in which a teary Al says that his store has the lowest prices in town. Hamm comments on this by saying: "Well, I guess crime doesn't pay", which viewers would have to agree. And after that commercial, Al's Toy Barn went out of business. Al's last name was revealed on the nameplate on his 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.
- Gerald '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'. Geri is voiced by Jonathan Harris. Geri was originally in the 1997 Pixar short-film entitled Geri's Game, voiced by Bob Peterson.
[edit] Other characters
- Buster is Andy's dachshund, whom he receives at the end of the first Toy Story, but is first 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. He obeys all commands given to him by Woody.
- 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."
- Scud is Sid's furious bull terrier and horrible "toy-chewer machine". He has a white body with brown spots, and a red spiked collar. He has a patch around his left eye.
- 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.
- 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 when Rex says "Whiskers will you get out of here, were conducting a search and rescue" a cat screech is heard.
- Nightmare Arms are the random hands and arms that reach out to grab Woody. The nightmare involves Woody falling into a trash can after being rejected by Andy because of his broken arm.
- Zurg's Robots are the weapon equipped robots that are seen in Toy Story 2 after Videogame Buzz lands on Zurg's Planet. Buzz defeats 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 it's eye blown off.
