* ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 3'' has one. {{spoiler|When night falls on Sunnyside Daycare, he sits in the second-floor security office, watching all the screens. If a toy tries to escape, he turns on the center's P.A. system and screeches into it while banging his cymbals. Lotso and crew are on top of the poor toy in moments.}}
** Can also serve as [[Nightmare Retardant]] since {{spoiler|we see him during the end credits in a much more positive light, at the new Sunnyside wearing these giant star glasses and happily swaying to "We Belong Together".}}
