Line 7:
{{quote|'''Stinky Pete''': How long will it last, Woody? Do you really think Andy is going to take you to college, or on his honeymoon?
'''Stinky Pete''': Children destroy toys! You'll all be ruined, forgotten! Spending eternity rotting in some landfill! }}
* [[Girls Need Role Models]]: The creators' wives, female animators who arrived in the interim between ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' 1 and 2, and Joan Cusack all pushed to make [[Affirmative Action Girl|Jessie]] a stronger character. This might also be the reason for Mrs. Potato Head and Barbie's expanded roles in the third film.▼
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: [[Up (animation)|"Maybe, if we find some balloons, we can float to the top!"]]
** As one person has noted, at the end of ''2'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLWJCqn0hl0 Buzz gets a] [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Memes|wingboner.]]
*** Also in ''2'', the [[Hilarious Outtakes]] have, at one point, the Prospector having a conversation with twin Barbie dolls and telling them he'd try to get them a part in the third movie. And indeed...
*** While the toys and the wrong Buzz are spying on Al, Buzz speculates that he is one of Zurg's minions. This line becomes especially hilarious when one remembers that [[Wayne Knight]], the guy who voiced Al, will later voice Zurg in the spinoff ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]''.
▲* [[Girls Need Role Models]]: The creators' wives, female animators who arrived in the interim between ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' 1 and 2, and Joan Cusack all pushed to make [[Affirmative Action Girl|Jessie]] a stronger character.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "Move out of the way children, I've been waiting 11 years to see Toy Story 3."
** Nearly everyone agrees that the only real reason why the third film was in 3-D was so everyone had glasses to obscure their [[Manly Tears]].
Line 35:
** Also, [[Affirmative Action Girl|Jessie]] in the second movie.
** In spite of his initial [[Creepy Doll|creepiness]], you gotta feel for [[The Dragon|Big Baby]] after he is convinced by [[Southern Gentleman|Lotso]] that he's been "replaced."
*** Lotso himself starts out as this in his backstory, [[Moral Event Horizon|and then...]]
== Toy Story ==
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: If you really think about it, [[Obliviously Evil|Sid had no idea the toys were alive]], and his parents don't seem to pay much attention to him and Hannah. He is probably acting out for attention.
** In fact, aside from the cruel [[Crosses the Line Twice|but darkly hilarious]] prank he plays on his sister, Sid doesn't do anything ''wrong.'' His destruction of toys comes out of both creativity and [[Parental Neglect]]. [[Morality Pet|He does]] [[Licked by the Dog|seem to]] [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|love]] [[Pet the Dog|his dog]].
Line 46 ⟶ 44:
* [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny]]: For 1995, the CGI in the film was groundbreaking and jaws dropped when the film was unleashed in cinemas. But for some people today, for example new fans who watched Toy Story 3 first and worked backwards, the differences in animation can be hugely jarring. The outside scenes with a lack of....air, the plastic looking ''humans'', the rubbery texture and the somewhat 'basic' looking settings (the bit where Andy and his Mom pull into Dinoco service station looks ''incredibly'' dated). Though the Pizza Planet scenery still looks impressive.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: The humans in the film look almost as plastic as the toys do due to the CGI limitations of the time, this is most noticeable during outside scenes where humans are featured (the scene where Sid blows up Combat Carl is a notable example).
== Toy Story 2 ==
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: [[Evil Overlord|Evil Emperor Zurg]].
* [[Faux Symbolism]]: In Woody's nightmare, the cards surrounding him are all the ace of spades, the card used to represent death in fortune telling.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: While ''not'' this from a realistic perspective, from the perspective of Jessie (and much of the audience), Emily crossed the line by giving Jessie up for donation [[Bait the Dog|after re-discovering her under her bed after years had gone by]], seemingly without any remorse for it either.
== Toy Story 3 ==
* [[Complete Monster]]: {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Lotso]]}} was plenty evil before, but he out-and-out becomes clearly an example of this when even after Buzz and Woody risk their lives to save him, he [[Moral Event Horizon|leaves them and the other toys to die in the incinerator anyway]].
** Even before that moment, he blew all previous villains out of the water in terms of heinousness. Sid and Al were [[Obliviously Evil]] [[Jerkass]] humans, Stinky Pete was always acting on the defensive rather than the offensive, and even Evil Emperor Zurg was a minor deluded [[Harmless Villain]]. This guy is a sadist who consciously chose to inflict pain and torment on his fellow toys. He's also a nihilist to the extreme - though he believes no owner truly loves their toys, he doesn't just blame owners like Stinky Pete did. He sincerely believes that ultimately disposable trash is all a toy's existence is. His deeds and character are darker than anything that came before, being played completely without laughs after [[The Reveal]] that he is the [[Big Bad]].
