Line 195:
== Andy was the kid from ''[[Pixar Shorts|Tin Toy]]''. ==
* The fact that he's not horribly deformed in ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' can be put down to the [[Literary Agent Hypothesis]].
** The kid in that short is officially known as "Billy", and he chased "Tinny" around.
Line 242:
*** Maybe he's working his way through college?
== Sid will eventually grow up to be [[The Fairly
You know what's weird? Sid actually kind of looks like a younger, less deformed version of Mr. Crocker from The Fairly Odd Parents [http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2700/4471967083_f4b27e6f4c_o.jpg\]. He loves playing the villain role and appears to be a sadist when treating his toys, albeit to a much lesser degree than Crocker. Mix this in with his childhood trauma and you've got a potential spaz for trying to prove the existence of ''DEMONIC LIVING TOYS''!.
* I wouldn't be too sure. Here's a picture of him as a teenager in the third film (for some this may be a spoiler): {{}} Does that look like Crocker?
Line 264:
It's a little far-fetched ([[Sarcasm Mode|Like everything here has been the epitome of sane thinking]]), but I do have some evidence to back this up:
** With the exception of Andy's family, Sid's family, Al (from Al's Toy Barn), and {{spoiler|the day care kids from the third movie}}), there are no other families in the neighborhood (the [DVD commentary pointed out that most of the people at Pizza Planet in Toy Story 1 are just [[Palette Swap|different-colored clones]] of Andy, Molly, and their mom). The kids that came to Andy's party have to be from another neighborhood (or are blissfully unaware that their parents are "missing").
** It's never really explained how Andy's toys, and Molly's Little Bo Peep figurine, gained the power to come to life. You'd think for a Disney movie there'd be some kind of origin, but this is Pixar where viewers are just supposed to accept the fact that the toys have the ability to come to life just out of the blue (hey, it worked for ''[[Cars]]'') or draw their own conclusion about how the toys come to life (i.e., the power of being loved and played with is what keeps toys alive. If that were true, explain Sid's toys...or Jessie after her original owner left her on the side of the road in a donation box. Someone, please?). My conclusion is that, underneath her sunny, suburban mom exterior, Andy's mom practices some kind of witchcraft that turns the neighbors she hates into toys her son can play with forever (or at least until ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 3''). Here's a list of what each toy used to be:
*** The Woody doll is Andy's father, who was punished for not spending time with his family (and probably beat Andy's mom or cheated on her).
*** The Little Bo Peep figurine? The woman who stole Andy's dad away from the family and a fellow housewife and mom who always did things better than Andy's mom (including snag men). It does explain why the romantic relationship Bo has with Woody feels like it's been around for a long time.
Line 409:
== [[Pixar]] collected all the tears shed during [[WALL-E]] and [[Up]]... ==
...And used them to fuel their computers to make [[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 3. All the sorrow and sadness everyone felt was then channelled into said movie, making it the [[Tear Jerker]] fest that it was.
== Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor is the voice of all Buzz Lightyears ==
The films take place in the same universe as ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]'', evidenced by the Binford tool box in Sid's room in the first film. ''[[Show Within a Show|Tool Time]]'' host Tim Taylor was at some point hired to be the voice of Buzz Lightyear for all the toys and tv shows. The scene in an episode of [[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]] where Tim plays with his niece's Buzz toy is him knowingly playing with ''Buzz Lightyear'' merchandise from the character voiced by himself, instead of ''Toy Story'' merchandise of a character voiced by Tim Allen.
== All toys have at least a little connection to their characters ==
Line 456:
== Objects, not just toys, can come alive only after a child puts character into it. ==
Think about it. In a world where Toys come alive, there's no reason why we'd also see Lawn Gnomes ''and'' Christmas decorations come alive too. PIXAR execs have also stated that homemade toys can come to life as well, which means that in some point in time, that mass of just materials and stuff can suddenly come alive. Toys, objects and other things can come alive in the [[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] world as soon as a child portrays their own character into it. This may not always be their permanent personality, but it is the initial spark that gives toys, christmas decorations, lawn gnomes, and whatevers the power of sentience. That's why at the end of Toy Story 3, Andy's definition of the characteristics of the toy's personality (with the possible exception of Rex) was so completely spot on to their true ones.
* This explains why the spin & say in 3 doesn't have a personality, but Andy's Etch-a-Sketch does.
* Andy's definition of their personalities wasn't spot on at all. He had Ham and Potato Head as villains, and Slinky Dog as their forcefield dog-thing. It also doesn't explain why Etch-a-Sketch had a personality, since Andy never gave it one in any of the skits.
Line 481:
** Assuming all that wasn't just a cutscene.
** Those are some pretty damn good graphics for an SNES... [[The Problem With Licensed Video Games|or a licenced game!]]
* Pity about the short arms. For that matter, Trixie's MSN message might not have been [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|what you thought it was]] but it sounded like a game- maybe Trixie is a tabletop gaming geek! (and thus, Bonnie will end up playing [[Dungeons
** Or trying to be a backseat gamer while Rex played Army Men (the licensed video game released between TS2 and TS3).
** Of course, this means off-brand primary color army men, as well as cowboys and indians, is more speedier since da red wunz go FASTA! Yes, Bonnie will play as da orks, her hyperactive imagination cannot be contained by mere Imperium control.
Line 563:
Or at least they greatly resemble kids from other Pixar movies. [http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e68/jackislove/ZZ2C434C9F.jpg This] little girl for example looks a lot like [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yIuuHJTyR5U/Ss3j7dabnnI/AAAAAAAAFYs/MOcnWaPNl6g/s400/Monsters-Inc-Boo-2.jpg Boo] from [[Monsters, Inc.]]. And [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/Kanashimi-chan/upgirl.png this] little girl looks a lot like [http://www.pixartoystory.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/toy_story_3_pink_teddy_bear.png Dee], seen briefly in [[Up]].
* I like those ideas, but unfortunately Lee said that the first girl isn't Boo. And the second girl doesn't look like Dee. (Dee has a Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear in her bedroom, by the way.)
** Aw, that's too bad about Boo. But I still like to think the second girl is Dee. The humans in [[Up]] are more cartoonish/stylized than the humans in the [[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] universe, which is why their faces look different. I also like to think that the Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear in her room is the same one from [[Toy Story (franchise)||Toy Story 3]], who somehow got off that garbage truck and ended up with her, [[And the Adventure Continues...|but that's another fan theory entirely]].
== The character of Woody from Woody's Round-Up had amnesia when Woody's toy was manufactured. ==
Line 697:
* To elaborate on the idea for other movies, there's also the Pizza Planet truck being one of the items that frustrates EVE in [[WALL-E]] into getting stuck on the magnet and destroying the ships, causing the first real interaction between her and WALL-E. I'm drawing a blank for the other ones, though.
== The [[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] short that will be played with [[Cars]] 2 will show {{spoiler|Woody and Bo peep reuniting.}} ==
...[[Tear Jerker|because.]]
