== The junkyard Earth from ''[[WALL-E]]'' begins with the Tri-County landfill ==
Supported by the presence of the Pizza Planet truck in Wall-E.
* And Buzz's [[Bn L]]BnL Batteries. We need a fanfic of Woody, Buzz and (a different) WALL-E doing... something. Some kind of adventure.
 
== Andy and Sid are Master Hand and Crazy Hand from ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' ==
Master Hand is the spirit of a child wishing to play with his toys. Crazy Hand is the spirit of wanting to destroy one's toys. [[Alternate Character Interpretation|Both, however, are innocent child-like souls in both the Toy Story and Super Smash Bros universes.]] (Now picture Luigi saving Captain Falcon from being destroyed by Crazy Hand.)
 
== [[The Men in Black]] get involved when a toy reveals its sentience to humanity ==
Surely something must be keeping things in order if humanity has been ignorant this long.
Consider Sid, he seemed just fine in toy story 3. [[Laser -Guided Amnesia|Why do you think that is?]]
If not the MIB maybe some men in blackish organization run by toys, which would explain why Woody and Buzz weren't tracked down. [[Sequel Hook|Toy Story 4]]?
* [[Sure Why Not|Sure, why not?]] They are turning [[Cars]] [[Recycled in Space|into]] [[James Bond]]! ...Or they '[[X Meets Y|added]]' '[[Austin Powers|James Bond]]'...
* [http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi3663567129 Well you tell me then!]

== The Toy Story trilogy is all about the life cycle of Woody, from the loss of his youth to death. ==
Line 28:
The second movie then is the equivalent of Woody's midlife crisis, as an injury makes him realize he's aging and for the first time considers his own mortality. (that is, the end of his and Andy's relationship) he hastily re asses his priorities and out of panic falls under the sway of a cult leader, (the prospector) but is helped back from the brink by his friends and accepts the inevitability of the end.
 
And so, the third movie is about Woody's death, (the end of his relationship with Andy,) and what potentially comes after, but that deserves it's own entry.
* This seems legit; Andy's tired of the toys, but is still attached enough to want them to stay safe in the attic (ie adult kids putting parents into a retirement home). At Sunnyside, most of the toys don't mind staying there, but Woody is determined to go back to Andy (older parents still hanging on to whatever connection they have with their kids). The dump/furnance scene obviously represents older people coming to terms with death and (depending on which person in the sky you subscribe to), Bonnie's room is the afterlife, most likely a form of reincarnation.
 
Line 43:
After struggle, the toys escape to a third place, which may either be the worst one yet, or surprisingly, an unexpected reprieve. Yes, I mean...
 
The Dump/The Incinerator = Annihilation/Oblivion/No Afterlife at All: (Again, I don't blame anyone who thinks that no, this is actually Hell. The imagery is certainly there. I just happen to disagree, here's why.) After the possibility of togetherness but pointlessness, and the possibility of ongoing torment, comes the possibility of complete destruction. The toys react with initial mortal terror, as complete destruction is indeed an on the surface very scary concept. There are several times they could be destroyed, but manage to just barely scrape by by the skin of their teeth. But at the very end, falling into the pit, no way out, and no hope of rescue, the toys, starting with Buzz, have a change in attitude. They accept it and intend to go out together, with dignity. The look on Buzz's face seems to say it all. Even if they escaped, where would the go? to lives of unending meaninglessness? [[The Anti -Nihilist|They realize that they were there for Andy, and as such lived full lives, and wanting more is not necessary.]] The toys acceptance of this end perfectly encapsulates why [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|some people find the idea of simple nothingness after death more comforting than an afterlife]]. You've lived your life well, there's nothing more to want.
 
But, that's not the end. An unexpected save gives the toys another chance, and Woody takes advantage of a possibility he glimpsed earlier in his journey but was not yet ready to accept. Now he is. Now, the toys go to...
Line 75:
*** Jessie struggles with this, in a "Problem of Evil"-esque way
*** Lotso takes this to its natural conclusion, becoming a devil figure (going by the Christian [[Face Heel Turn|conception]] of Lucifer). Also a [[Nay Theist]] in ideology ("we don't follow any owner; we're free to make our own destinies," though he obviously know owners exist).
*** Especially meaningful near the climax: [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|"Where is your Owner now?"]]
* Andy's room = Heaven/life (the toys seem to have no issue with being played with in Andy's room forever)
* College = Toy Apocalypse
Line 89:
* The entire movie, series even, could be seen as a metaphor for mortality and death. Woody and his friends are alone in Andy's room, having "outlived" all of the other toys. Sunnyside could be seen as the Christian heaven, with the Butterfly room as paradise, and the Caterpillar room as purgatory. The garbage dump is pretty much Hell, and Bonnie's house is reincarnation. Woody and the toys are played with by a young child again, surrounded by other toys. But they do manage to communicate with Barbie, Ken, and the rest in "Heaven," so there's no telling what that means.
* This Troper saw the dump more as a "Lovecraftian" vision of the afterlife - not a place of gleeful and active torment as in the "Caterpillar Room", but a [[[[Eldritch Location]] cold, alien realm designed only to bring a final and absolute End, [[Humans Are Cthulhu|operated by vast and incomprehensible beings who]] [[Above Good and Evil|simply could not care about the horror of its existence.]] In truth, the whole movie is a gigantic gumbo of various interpretations of life after death, complementing Toy Story 2's theme of age and mortality - Lotso's ironic fate evokes the punishments of classical mythology, while the upsides of the "Attic" are similar to those of ancestor worship, adding on to the already obvious Heaven/Purgatory and Reincarnation themes noted above.
* And Lotso bear and how he runs Sunnyside Daycare Center totally isn't a G-rated representation of several [[Real Life]] dictatorships! After coming home from the opening day, this troper's sister mentioned how [[George Orwell|Orwellian]] [[Nineteen Eighty -Four|Lotso's grasp on Sunnyside was.]] For example, Lotso sending Potatohead to [[Room 101|"The Box"]] or how [[Big Brother Is Watching|Big Monkey was watching.]]
* I swear, when Lotso taunted Woody with "Where is your Kid ''now''?" before leaving them to die, what I heard in my mind was "Where is the Rock of your Salvation? Where is God now?" Lotso, throughout the film, is pretty much fanatical in his reviling of the notion that ''any'' relationship with an Owner (the nearest thing a toy has to God) could be good. Don't misunderstand. I ''don't'' think he symbolizes atheism. I think he symbolizes [[Nay Theist|people who literally]] ''[[Nay Theist|hate]]'' [[Nay Theist|God.]]
* Lotso might actually be a metaphor for someone who feels that God abandoned him in is hour of need. His "[[Nietzsche Wannabe|We are all trash]]" speech might represent someone who believes nothing happens after death.
* Lotso can be seen as analogous to Satan or Lucifer, whose pride and jealousy turned him against his owner and motivated him to make all other toys feel unloved and dissatisfied ("Ain't no kid ever loved a toy, really"). But the paradise alternative he promises them (Sunnyside) turns out to be hellish (the Caterpillar Room). His system is finally overthrown when the hero whom everyone thought was dead returns to set them free.
* Sunnyside is a metaphor for abusive nursing homes. Especially how they describe the toys as being "worn and broken down" and the toys are referred to as junk that needs to be sent away.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20101028131018/http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/21/wacky-film-theories-toy-story-3-and-the-holocaust/ It's been suggested the film parallels the Holocaust.] To summarize generally, Andy's toys stand-in for Jewish people, and are sent to a concentration camp for undesirables (ie. discarded or lost toys). Lotso and his friends are the Nazis who live lavishly while the prisoners are tortured (by the Caterpillar Room toddlers) under their watch. If our heroes don't survive said torture (get broken by the kids or what have you), they get thrown in the trash. And, finally, our heroes are eventually thrown into an incinerator.
* From the same link directly above, it's been suggested the toys died in the incinerator, while their rescue and everything afterward is the afterlife; not much evidence is given for this, however.
* I've read [[Epileptic Trees|theories]] that Lotso's interpretation of Sunnyside ("No owners means no heartbreak") is a metaphor for promiscuity or casual relationships without commitment like marriage. Avoid the heartbreak of commitment and have fun "playing with" as many others as possible...
** Lotso is a pimp.
* While we're on the topic of religious themes, The LGMs religious veneration of The Claw possibly leads them on a spiritual journey. At the start, they were controlled by the claw, [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|which chose who will go and who will stay]]. At the end, they have ''[[A God Am I|become]]'' The Claw, and have chosen who will go and who will stay for themselves!
* Just to include every version of afterlife we can, Post-Lotso Sunnyside]] could be compared to [[Warrior Heaven|Valhalla]]: The toys continue to struggle to survive the rough playing of the caterpillar room, but now they have teamwork on their side and can fix each other when they get broken, ready to face another day.
 
Line 111:
Following on, the toys are powered by magic (which is what the witch wants you to think). Children are able to use it to bring them to life in exciting scenarios (train robbery, etc.) but as soon as an adult enters, the magic toxin burns away the magic.
 
TL;DR: The entire thing is [[Umineko no Naku Koro Nini|Umineko]], for kids.
 
** Or perhaps that Witch was Maria using the Magic of Origins to bring all toys to life a la Sakutaro?
Line 130:
* The cowboy hat that Andy wears when playing with Woody is identical to the one Emily wore (which is the same as Jessie's hat-- red with white loops strung through the edge of the brim). When Emily put Jessie into the donation box, she included her cowboy boots and the Jessie lunchbox, but not the hat. Andy's mom may have given Andy her old Jessie hat.
* How would Jessie never recognize her? Years apart or no, there's no way Jessie wouldn't recognize her former Owner whom she completely loved...
** Memories fade, especially of specific facial details. Hell, Woody doesn't remember anything besides Andy ''at all'' despite being around 50. Maybe Jessie simply doesn't remember what Emily looked like, or at least what she looked like after she stopped playing as much.
** Plus, people change a ''lot'' over the years, especially after having children, as their faces change from wrinkles, graying hair, scars from pimples and skin tags, sagging skin in places, '''puberty'''... Its quite easy to not recognize an adult woman as being the 8 year old you knew.
*** Yeah, except that Emily wasn't 8 the last time Jessie saw her; that was the day Jessie was donated, when Emily had already gone through puberty.
*** Still, it'd be near impossible to recognize a ~[[40 year old woman as the ~]]15 year old you once knew.
**** Try looking at your parents' high school yearbooks and compare their pictures therein to pictures from them in early middle age, if you don't believe it.
 
== Woody is Andy's missing father's toy. ==
Line 164:
** His toys were even given party hats at one of his birthday parties.
*** Actually the birthday party was for Molly. And remember, we're only looking at a few minutes of home video, [[Literary Agent Hypothesis|chosen to focus specifically on Andy's relationship with his toys]] - for all we know, there's a bunch of videos showing Andy in the school play, Andy at a track meet, Andy having a birthday party with his friends, etc.
*** Track meet? Man, now I can't stop thinking of a video with Dash in the background as a [[Freeze -Frame Bonus]].
*** If they ever show a picture of Andy's friends, they'll probably be [[The Cameo|younger versions of John Lasseter and various Pixar staffers]].
* In the first movie, he had a birthday party with other kids attending, which would suggest he had some friends at least. However, if Andy was still a rather shy, solitary child this would possibly explain why Andy was convinced to give away his toys to Bonnie, who we clearly see is a bit of a shy little girl; he felt a connection with her.
Line 176:
In the preview for Toy Story 3, a map of the world can be seen in Andy's room, with a vast green nation in sub-Saharan Africa. Disney owns Marvel, Disney owns Pixar, ergo the nation must be [[Black Panther|Wakanda.]]
 
== The toys are animated by spirits a la ''[[Werewolf: The Apocalypse (Tabletop Game)|Werewolf: The Apocalypse]]''. ==
Toys are animated by emotional attachment and play. Human(oid) toys are usually animate from the time they're first received, non-humanoid toys pick up animation from play, and all toys get more personality and human-ness the longer they're around humans. Toys keep up the Masquerade because their child's imagination feeds their existence, and showing independence weakens or severs that link. Toys which are loved and played with long enough gain a great deal of "essence," developing not only their character but also their skills and abilities. A well-loved, much-played with toy can pull off incredible stunts, as seen in the toys' gradual increase in competence throughout the movies.
 
Line 191:
 
== Buzz and Zurg actually came from a Star Wars-esque series ==
[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]] is just a [[Spin -Off]] of that series.
* Buzz works for the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe|Galactic Alliance]], so why not?
 
== 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.
 
== Toys lose their magic if humans see them too much. ==
The reason why toys "play dead" in front of humans is because they're magical, and some part of their subconscious knows this. They also (even if subconsciously) know that if humans see them moving around too much, they'll lose the magical ability to come to life. Hence Woody telling the freaks at Sid's house "we're gonna have to break a few rules".
* You mean like Weeping Angels?
** This reminds me of the Muppet special called ''The Christmas Toy'', in which, by the laws of this show, a toy cannot be caught acting alive in front of a human, or they'll be "frozen"- i.e., they plop down and lose their ability to come alive and just exist as a regular toy for all eternity! Granted, this effect happens immediately, not after a period of exposure with humans.
Line 207:
 
== Toys have a truly inanimate state. ==
Which means that they go into a state of suspended animation when they "play dead" around humans. Notice when Woody and Buzz fight, they both have reflexes to pain, and yell when hurt. However, when around Sid, the daycare kids, or even Andy plays a little rough sometimes, they have no response. They don't even flinch as they're being ripped to pieces.
** So in a sense, all the toys are possums?
*** I always thought they held it in around humans out of neccesity. They're really good at it due to being toys. When around toys they react normally with proper responses and reflexes because there's no need to hold them in.
**** In Toy Story 2, Andy's mom picks up Rex, and his eyes shift nervously. Toys also wink to each other on a few separate occasions in the first two movies. It made sense to me that they can control what parts of their body are inanimate. The cleaner from the second movie cleaning off Woody's eyes is a good example of this.
***** I'm pretty sure Toy Story 3 confirmed that they were just acting. When Bonnie makes Woody her new toy and all the other toys introduce themselves, they talk [[BusmansBusman's Vocabulary|like they're actors.]]
****** I believe that they have to choose to move in front of humans over the age of two at least where the given human is looking.
 
== Andy is related to Carl and Ellie from Up. ==
* One of the [[Freeze -Frame Bonus|Freeze Frame Bonuses]] in the third movie is a Postcard from Carl and Ellie Fredricksen on the corkboard in Andy's room. It's possible that they are his great-aunt and -uncle, which makes it a cool easter egg linking two of Pixar's movies.
** If I had to say, Elle is likely the one related to Andy, possibly on his father's side. They're both free spirited, very imaginative, and get along well with others.
 
Line 229:
** ...His ass is a Tardis!
** Done and Done
{{quote|[[Time http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.phpLord/WMG/TimeLord]]}}
* The troper responsible for the [[Mad Oracle|* ZOT* ]]ting of the preceding troper, [[Monty Python and Thethe Holy Grail|has been * ZOT* ted.]]
 
== Woody doesn't remember Woody's Roundup because he was produced as a prop, not a toy. ==
Line 242:
*** Maybe he's working his way through college?
 
== Sid will eventually grow up to be [[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents|Mr. Crocker]] ==
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 270:
*** Hamm the piggy bank was a banker who was about to foreclose on the home.
*** The Etch-a-Sketch was a hack caricaturist who was hired to do children's parties and never held down a steady, 9-to-5 job. He lived with Andy's family for a time because he got kicked out of his parents' basement and Andy's mom felt sorry for him, but when he began sponging off his hostess, Andy's mom used magic to get rid of him once and for all.
*** Sarge (the green, plastic Army man) was a [[Shell -Shocked Veteran]]-turned-school bus driver. He fell under Andy's mom's spell after nearly crashing the bus with her precious little snowflake inside of it (this happened when Andy was in the second grade) thanks to one of his many 'Nam flashbacks. The Combat Carl that Sid blew up was Sarge's friend.
*** The Speak 'n Spell was a nerdy kid who always defeated Andy in classroom spelling bees and drove Andy into being home-schooled.
*** Rex (the plastic T-Rex toy) was just the wussy Goth and town [[Butt Monkey]]. Andy's mom cast a spell on him accidentally, but since no one really cared about him, his disappearance wasn't a total loss.
Line 276:
*** The hockey puck: a "hockey mom" who repeatedly made fun of Andy's mom for coddling her son and daughter.
*** Lenny the wind-up binoculars: a local Peeping Tom, natch.
*** The rubber, squeaky shark: a nerdy video store clerk who always bothered Andy's mom with recommedations of the movie ''[[Jaws (Filmfilm)|Jaws]]''.
**** Now, the other toys and the Buzz Lightyear doll weren't humans who are now sentenced to a lifetime plastic imprisonment, but Andy's mom's magic is so powerful that anything inanimate can come to life in there (with some exceptions: the bed, the crib, the walls, the posters, the books, the furniture, and the board games).
** This doesn't explain the other toys that don't belong to Andy, though. Why are Sid's toys alive? The Crane game Aliens? The Roundup Gang? Al's Toy Barn Toys? Sunnyside Daycare Toys? Tons of the toys don't have any form of relationship to Andy or his Mom.
Line 285:
 
== In [[Real Life]], PIXAR donated real Toy Story characters to local daycare centers for inspiration. ==
This might actually make sense. PIXAR is known for doing amazing outside research when making their films. The employees donated the Toy Story toys to daycare centers and then videotaped how the children actually played with the toys.
 
== Andy's real name is [[X -Men|Pietro Maximoff]], or his father is a [[The Incredibles|Super]]. ==
In Toy Story 2, Andy's hair is seen to be seemingly graying prematurely, and his father never being around can be attributed to it being Magneto going around crusading for Mutant Superiority, or him being away on Superhero Duty, but there is one other hint besides "Disney Owns Marvel".
* In TS2, Andy's mom says he has five minutes before they have to leave for Cowboy Camp. Andy is able to string up Bo Peep, arrange all of his Army Men perfectly in front of Hamm, put Buzz on RC in a box, set up the ramp so it exactly hits Hamm, and acting it out takes about a minute, and this all comes from the room being in disarray after Buster ran rampant looking for Woody. No kid can set all of that up (particularly the Army Men) in five minutes, barring being a Speedster. Ergo, he is somehow related to a Super-being.
** Or, like this troper's mother, when Andy's Mom says five minutes, she ''really'' means half an hour.
* Molly doesn't look like Scarlet Witch. She could dye her hair, but this will make coming home for the holidays very awkward.
 
== Instead of just hitching a ride in the garbage truck, Woody just out and asked Sid for help. ==
Line 304:
I mean, just * look* at them.
* I would say they're not even so much a ''Stealth'' Parody as a parody. This is particularly satisfying because, [[Disney|who do we know who has a reputation for using Love At First Sight]]?
** Barbie and Ken are parodies of ''[[Self -Parody|themselves]]'' throughout the entire movie, this is just part of the whole shebang.
 
== Woody was a collectible owned by Andy's dad (slightly related to an above WMG). ==
Line 313:
The [[World of Ham|ridiculously awesome intro sequence]] is what being played with is like from the toys' point of view. One of the reasons, perhaps the ''main'' reason, that toys love children playing with them, is that they experience it the way the child imagines it. This makes perfect sense when you think about it in relation to the movies, and is also ''completely awesome''. I mean think about it- no wonder Buzz took so long to realise he was a toy, when he ''could'' fly and shoot lasers for a few hours each day, and Woody, being the favourite toy, naturally takes centre stage most of the time, which likely is one reason why he's so loyal.
* I am going to consider this canon whenever I rewatch the trilogy from now on!
* If Toys can tap into their childrens' imaginations, then this ''might'' explain why Jonny knows that [[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy|Plank]] is alive.
* No wonder Buzz was so confused (traumatized?) after that whole Mrs. Nesbitt thing.
This would suggest that the toys can 'see' the game as if it is actually happening, just like the start of the third film, and though they know it isn't 'real', how their owner plays with them can subconciously affect how they see each other. Would explain a few things about how the toys act:
* The toys look up to Woody and Buzz as leaders because they is always portrayed as the heroes. Potatohead is resentful of Woody in the first film because Andy always used him as a villain for him to foil, and it made him bitter.
* Why Woody came to hate Buzz so quickly - aside from straight jealousy, Andy kept playing games where he made Buzz beat Woody up.
* Why Rex feels pressure to be scary - He's naturally shy, but Andy always plays him as a frightening monster.
Line 330:
 
== Somewhat related to the WMG above about Andy's Father, he is Woody. ==
Andy's father couldn't bear to leave his son, with his death coming soon his loyal Woody doll offered his body to place his soul in so he could always be there. His last will before he died left everything to his mom, and especially a Woody doll for Andy. However in the process of becoming a toy he forgets everything explaining why in TS2 he didn't know there was a TV show or merchandise of him. Now that he is a toy, he is wired like a toy, but he is different because he was a human soul. Notice the pattern of him being FIERCELY loyal to Andy, the thought of even leaving his house is something in TS3 that he didn't even want to consider until, like a good parent, he understands he needs to let his son go to college on his own.
** Alternatively, Mrs. Davis in fact DOES practice witchcraft/voodoo/dark magic/etc. And combined with the theory above and/or a bit of the machine from ''9'', placed Mr. Davis' soul in Woody. Now all we need to figure out is what happened to that lost Woody soul that was sacrificed.
== Woody is Andy's dad's Horcrux! ==
In the style of the diary, only less evil. This is because, yes, a person has to die in order to make a Horcrux, but they don't have to be murdered. Mrs. Davis was present, and she performed the Horcrux spell right as Mr. Davis died. Since he died, but nobody killed him, nobody's soul was torn, so his entire being was condensed into Woody. And he doesn't remember because... the process of being turned into fluff is very stressful on a mind, so something had to give, and memories were the first thing to go.
* The problem with that theory is that you ''have'' to commit murder to create the Horcrux. Then again, seeing as how [[Nightmare Fuel|no one ever mentions anything about Andy's dad...]]
 
Line 343:
** Alternately, Woody was an actor who appeared in many Westerns and was killed on the job when someone shot a gun that contained a real bullet instead of a blank. This would explain why he has no gun in his holster: he's too afraid to carry one.
*** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_Strode Check out the date of death. Then scroll down to the bottom.
** And another alternate theory for Lotso: he lived in a country where the original leader (Daisy, his owner) was assassinated or removed in some other horrible way and replaced {{spoiler|with a dictator who tortured all the citizens of the country except those on his side or in places of power}}. Everyone {{spoiler|who went against the dictator}} was (in terms of increasing severity): imprisoned ({{spoiler|all Andy's toys}}), sent to The Box (Potato Head), brainwashed ({{spoiler|Buzz}}), or killed ({{spoiler|the incinerator scene}}). {{spoiler|He has become the dictator that ended his life.}}
*** Lotso is Stalin. Enough said.
** Hamm was a banker with clogged arteries, Bo Peep was a fragile [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]] who didn't get rescued in time, Ken was...well possibly strangled by an ascot but his murderer also cut off something. I'm guessing Rex and Trixie were paleontologists or animators/SFX people who worked on dinosaur movies, which somehow led to their demise.
** Mr. Pricklepants was a classically trained actor who died during a stage stunt, the little green men are victims of a radiation accident involving a claw, the Prospector was actually trapped in a mine and died, and Jessie was a cowgirl abandoned in the desert to die. [[Comedic Sociopathy|Say, this WMG is fun!]]
** I've got some: Dolly was a fashion designer who got into messy sewing accident, Twitch was a entomologist who died from an poisonous insect bite, chatterphone was a gangster who died in a gunfight, Toroto was a anime animator who died while animating said movie, and stretch was a diver who was attacked by an octopus (no not [[Naughty Tentacles|that]] attack!).
** Got a few more: Wheezy was a has-been singer who died onstage from lack of oxygen while singing a high-pitched song he could sing in his youth, Slinky was not only torn in half but by wild dogs no less, Bullseye was a champion race horse who broke a leg and was melted down for glue. Bo-peep's sheep became mutton.
** Maybe Bullseye was an actor in samurai movies who was shot in the eye by a bow on the job, Big Baby was a cattle farmer that tried to infiltrate another farm but was trampled and knocked into a well, the squeaky shark was a swimmer strangled by a rope, Sarge was a vetrean covered in acid, Zurg tied himself to a lighnining rod and was zapped in the teeth, Chunk was killed in a rock silde, Rocky was a wrestler thrown out of the arena onto a jagged rock, Etch A Sketch was sliced into pieces by a fan, and Speak-n-Spell fell of a staircase into a factory for PCs and was crushed.
** I have a wicked idea how this WMG applies to Sids mutant toys, they started out a seperate toys until sid combined them, meaning two ( or more) souls sharing one body, Legs was a failing supermodel who died of botched liposuction combined with constuction worker who died when a crane fell on top of him, Babyface was Big Baby's younger brother in life who died from accidental decaptation combined with a steel worker who died when he fell into the molted metal, the toy who is half skateboard is part teenager who died in a skating accident and part pilot who's plane had crashed, some of them with mouths can talk but [[Voice of the Legion|they are creeped out by the sound of their voice.]]
** The Speak N' Spell (forget if it had a name) was an elementary school teacher killed in an accident when he was correcting English papers. RC was a NASCAR racer who died in an automobile accident. Bo Peep was a shepherdess who died in some sort of freak slaughtering accident. The soldiers were... soldiers. The peapod kids from 3 were conjoined twins who died in-utero, and Buttercup GOT IMPALED BY A UNICORN YEAAAAHHH
*** If [[Tropers/Red Shocktrooper|I]] may get in on specifics for the soldiers, Sarge was clearly a Sergeant (and being the point of authority put a target on his head). The Minesweeper stepped on a landmine. The Medics had their field hospital bombed, or died while attempting to save someone else. The Combat Carl was blown up by a tank or mortar round (thus making his destruction recursive). The Paratroopers partook in an aerial assault (such as Market Garden or the invasion of Crete). The man Sarge refuses to leave quite nearly dies the same way twice: he was killed the first time by being crushed (possibly [[Command and& Conquer|by a tank]])
** I showed this theory to a friend, an he suggested that Wheezy had asthma and died of complications.
** Ooh, I've got one! Big Baby was an abandoned baby who died before anyone could find him! Damn, I just made myself sad...
Line 392:
* That wouldn't explain the quality increase throughout each of the movies. Compare Woody's model from Toy Story 1 to Toy Story 3 and you'll see that Woody is much more detailed (Fabric looks more realistic, light hits the materials all the toys are made from realisticaly, etc.) Not to mention the change in apperance of the humans and attention to detail in the backgrounds.
** Better cameras, not better toys.
*** Or, maybe they videotaped them, then used [[Rotoscoping]] to create the animation. That way, Pixar's secret doesn't get out, because it matches the animation technology of the time.
 
== Andy is narrating the three movies ==
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 432:
* 1: He manages to make his way back to Sunnyside and gets himself in (either by somehow getting himself donated, or just sneaking in). When he arrives, all of his former minions [[Zerg Rush]] him and throw him back into the dumpster. And this time, without the toys he left to die to save him, he will be shredded and incinerated.
* 2: He gets back to Sunnyside, and finds that while a lot of the toys are against him now, there are still some that are loyal to him. What happens next? A toy civil war (Lotso's toys Vs. Ken and Barbie's toys), of course!
** After the civil war he regains his reign, with the few that still pledge loyal or are too scared, but with even harder and more psychopathic rules, turning the place into a real [[Crapsack World]] Dystopia. This time, however, there will be a [[La Résistance]] force lead by Barbie and helped by Woody and gang from the outside. They actively try to hatch an assignation plot to get rid of Lotso for good. Oh dear ''God'' I want to see this so much.
*** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: This scenario would just compound the religious metaphors. Don't know what I'm talking about? Read Revelation Chapter 20. After Jesus destroys Satan's forces, Satan is bound up and cast into the abyss for a thousand years, while all the believers live in peace (including resurrecting those that have died). But at the end of the thousand years, Satan gets one final reprieve, which he spends launching another great rebellion that leads to him and his army being consigned to the Lake of Fire.
* 3: The "Heartwarming" one, if it's not entirely believable.. He manages to track down Daisy (to, I dunno, get revenge on her somehow? Find the replacement Lotso and rough him up?), who is now an adult. She then finds him and recognizes him as the Lotso she lost, and Lotso realizes that he was completely wrong about everything, and is finally happy again. He could even pull a [[Heel Face Turn]] by apologizing to everyone he's hurt in the past. However, the replacement Lotso is still with Daisy (she could have kept him around as a treasure), and [[Here We Go Again|he's starting to feel jealous and unloved...]]
* Or more likely, Lotso will just fall apart eventually. He probably won't last very long being strapped to the the front of a waste disposal vehicle which has to sort through hundreds of pounds of trash each day. And considering how old and ragged he already is, it doesn't look it'll take much for him to get ripped to shreds.
* He might be the Lotso seen in [[Up (Filmanimation)|Up]]. The one seen [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6A6ytIWSsgw/S7m4MLt4MnI/AAAAAAAAA6I/bUIKN24BCqU/s1600/lots-o-up.jpg in the corner of a girl's room]. He's off in the corner because he still doesn't want an owner.
* Maybe Sid, since he works at the dump, could see Lotso and those other bug riddled toys tied to that truck and save them because he's still paranoid about toys being alive.
* I gots a better idea: He finally does get free and soon finds who else but... Stinky Pete, abandoned by HIS new owner. Lotso then uses this to convert stinky back to the bad side and plans to get revenge on woody and co after going to sunnyside and seeing things have changed. they then follow molly home and attempt vengance but in the end, pete has a change of heart and sacrifices himself to save everyone from lotso... only to be saved by buzz, while lotso is found by the garbage man and put back on the truck.
Line 442:
== Unless Woody reunites with Bo Peep somehow, he and Dolly will become more than friends. ==
* Woody is romantically lonely because Bo Peep isn't in his life anymore. Dolly doesn't seem to have any romantic relations with Bonnie's other toys - in fact, from what we see, she seems to be the leader/TeamMom of the group, much like Woody is with Andy's other toys. And they're both dolls.
** [[Portmanteau Couple Name|WooDolly]]!
*** Unfortunately, wouldn't that mean [[HotImprobable SkittySpecies On Wailord ActionCompatibility]]? [[Squick]].
*** ...[[Fridge Logic|let's not get into that]].
 
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.
** Could have been off screen, remember, we've only seen a fraction of Andy's playtime with his toys. For all we know, he might also have placed Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head as "good guys" as well as included Etch and his other toys in his play as well.
** That and villainous toys don't have to be villainous characters. (and likewise, see Pete and Lotso) They don't have to act like the kid thinks they do, they just need to be played with. We've also seen that some toys, especially Bonnie's, see themselves as 'actors' of sorts, that are 'cast' in various roles depending on what their kid is imagining today- even the villainous toys (such as Zurg) see themselves as [[Punch Clock Villain|Punch Clock Villains]], while we've seen with Lotso that toys that seem nice don't necessarily have to be that way.
Line 464:
 
== Toys by default are aware they are a toy immediately after being built. However, toys that are adapted from characters in a franchise start out in a "demo mode" where they believe they are that character. They need to go through a traumatic realization in order to believe otherwise. Therefore, Buzz Lightyears initially don't get along well with other toys. ==
The other toys in the films were aware what they were, but Buzz was the only toy we saw getting received by Andy, and the other toys were already through that experience. It may have been too traumatic for them ever to mention it again.
** so does that mean Woody originally thought that he was the "real Woody?"
*** By this theory, yes, Woody thought he was the real cowboy from ''Woody's Round-Up''. But TS2 shows that not only did he realize otherwise, but he COMPLETELY FORGOT about it! Maybe he had amnesia from being knocked in the head?
Line 473:
 
== Andy studies Artifical Intelligence in college ==
When this troper was watching Toy Story 3 today, he believed he saw the letters 'A I' on the spine of a book inside the box that woody was packed in at the beggining of the film. The theory is that Andy studies artifical intelligence, and eventually starts up a company that specializes in creating artifical intelligence in robots. Thus leading to a revolution in technology, and creating a new type of 'super-toys', which is related back to his love of playing with Woody and the gang. Thus through countless inventions and events over the years, he marries a woman with the last name of Hobby and takes her name, and invents a robot that is capable of true love. Thus creating the events of [[AIA.I.: Artificial Intelligence]].
* Or [[Small Soldiers]].
 
== Rex is a skilled gamer. ==
In Toy Story 2, the first 5 minutes is Rex playing ''Buzz Lightyear of Star Command'' on a SNES. When Andy isn't looking, Rex must be playing many other games such as [[Super Mario World (Videovideo Gamegame)|Super Mario World]], [[Donkey Kong Country]], [[Star Fox (Video Gameseries)|Star FoxFOX]], [[The Legend of Zelda]], and more. He just can't beat the final level of Buzz's first videogame.
* To say nothing of the fact that despite his short arms he has obviously managed to get past all the other obstacles he has to get through before the Zurg boss battle.
** 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 and& Dragons]]. And maybe [[Warhammer 4000040,000]]. Now that would get... interesting... I'm imagining a more [[Grimdark]] version of the Army Men)
** 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 505:
Woody doesn't forget the hypothetical Andy's Dad randomly; it's because Andy's Dad knew Woody as the character from the show. When Woody was left to Andy, Andy had never seen ''Woody's Round-Up'' and just knew him as a random cowboy doll; naming him Sheriff Woody was just a coincidence, and the trappings of his identity as the kid's show character were absent. Jessie doesn't forget Emily because by the time Andy received her, he was aware of the show and of Jessie's canon ability as a yodeling cowgirl, and her identity remained intact. {{spoiler|Once Bonnie projects new identities onto them they'll forget being anyone's toys but hers, as part of the reincarnation metaphor.}}
* It's possible that Andy's mom gave Woody to him and told him "This is Sheriff Woody, he was your father's favorite toy". Even if she hadn't seen the show, Andy's mom would have probably heard Woody's name from her husband at some point.
* But you forgot one thing: Andy told her the personalities of all the toys. They should be fine.
* This was jossed, in the ''original'', no less. Buzz still remembered everything after Sid's sister gave him a new identity by rechristening him "Mrs. Nesbit."
** But she never ascribed a complete identity or personality to him, and he was too traumatized by the initial stripping of his previous identity as The Real Buzz Lightyear for him to accept it as his role in his owner's play-world. If she'd kept him and loved him as Mrs. Nesbit, he would have.
Line 557:
There are enough of them among the fans, who actually ''know'' about Bo-Peep and the Buzz/Jessie romance. All that kid is going to know is that she's got a cowboy and a cowgirl who look like they were made for each other. That's probably going to cause some trouble.
* Most [[Fanfic|fan fics]] I've read dealing with this ''do'' have her notice how alike her new cowboy and cowgirl are... and thus consider them [[Like Brother and Sister|brother and sister]] in her mind.
** While that does seem in character for her she could also go the Woody/Jessie [[Shipper Onon Deck]] way. A lot of kids have ship characters like that and have cowboy - cowgirl fantasies. It however seems slightly more possible, at her current age though, that she will make them have a [[Like Brother and Sister]] relationship. But if she did become a shipper, how would the affect the two?
*** And if you take an above theory on toys being subconsciously effected by the roles their owners put them in into account... oh boy.
 
== Some of the daycare kids are kids from other Pixar movies ==
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]{{Dead link}}, 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 586:
== The garbage truck Lotso was tied to at the end will get into a wreck. ==
The other toys tied to the grill and the people inside will be saved, but Lotso will die a painful death when the strawberry-stuffing inside him catches fire.
* So you'd rather Lotso was released from his earthly suffering instead of surviving a [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|fate]] [[And I Must Scream|worse]] [[Hellfire|than]] [[Fate Worse Than Death|death]] for the rest of his life? Okay. Whatever floats your boat.
 
== Pizza Planet is a memorial. ==
Specifically, a memorial to [[Wall WALL-E|Captain B. McCrea]], cultivator of the first pizza plant. As to why there's a Pizza Planet truck amongst the wreckage of Earth? Well, that's the end result of Pizza Planet's failed experiments in utilizing time travel, in an attempt to deliver pizzas fifteen minutes before you even order one.
 
== Franchise toys aren't necessarily aware that they're part of a franchise. ==
Both Woody and Buzz are completely unaware of the franchises that they belong to until they see direct proof of it. (a TV ad, and the Woody's Roundup merchandise) It could be reasonable to conclude from here that while they're 'pre-programmed' with the personalities of the character, but not necessarily knowledge of their fellow cast members or expanded universe- for all they know, their entire world consists of the packaging blurb. Perhaps a kind of failsafe in case they never meet another of their kind, as what probably happened to Woody- considering ''Woody's Roundup'' ended up [[Deader Than Disco]] after wild popularity, it's not surprising that he never got to see it.
* Sorry, doesn't work. [[TS 2]]TS2's Buzz and Zurg know each other well enough to try to kill each other, and both are fresh out of the box. Then again, their 'toy' personalities are innately entwined. And note that Barbie and Ken had a feeling they were made for each other, too.
** Though Pixar could've just been making a pun on Barbie and Ken's point. Also works on a theory above that they're a parody of love at first sight movies; how many times have you heard "it's like we're made for each other"?
 
Line 627:
* Molly might have taken her Barbie to play with other girls and their toys, and met other Barbies (but by sheer coincidence no Kens) to chat with.
 
== Andy and Bonnie will create an [[Axe Cop (Webcomic)|online webcomic together]]. ==
* The college that Andy is attending is Cal Arts University, and practices drawing artwork and graphic novels in his spare time. During one of his trips back home, he babysits for Bonnie, and realizes that she has an incredibly active imagination, creating wildly vivid story lines for the toys. They decide to join forces together they create the online webcomic [[Axe Cop (Webcomic)|Laser Sheriff]]!
** Or [[Kid Radd (Webcomic)|Kid Radd]]
 
== Toy Story 2 takes place in the early to mid 90s ==
For one Rex plays a <s>Snes type console</s> [[SNES]] during the beginning of 2. While that wouldn't be a far cry from it being in the late 90s, most kids moved onto newer consoles. Also if this movie did take place in 2010, subtract 18 and you get 1992.
** Tour guide Barbie says that Buzz Lightyear toys were in short supply in 1995 and [[A BugsBug's Life (Animation)|A Bugs Life]] toys are seen in Al's Toy Barn.
 
== There will be a spinoff TV series based off Toy Story ==
3D or 2D. It will be an AU Defictionlization series like Buzz's show, an AU series where the characters are living beings, or a story based on their adventures with Bonnie.
 
== Woody and Jessie are not brother and sister ==
It's just a "[[Like Brother and Sister]]" or [[Platonic Life Partners]] relationship, however the characters from the show they're based off show no signs of being related.
 
== Jessie has a crush on Woody ==
Line 646:
* Not only does ''Jessie'' like Woody but so does Buzz. It all makes sense now.
** [[One True Threesome|All three of them like each other.]] [[Fetish Fuel|At the same time.]]
*** Exactly.
 
== Pixar will create a short that shows how the Aliens got to the crane in ''3'' and put it on the DVD release. ==
Line 656:
== Toy Story 4 will be a midquel. ==
If that Tim Allen rumor is true. If it's somewhat true, then I'm up for a special or spinoff animated series.
** A ''[[Wall WALL-E]]'' crossover. Or maybe a movie based off romance?
 
== Mr. Potato Head is the true villain of the original ==
Think about it. He instigates and says things that obviously would not happen (a cowboy ragdoll not having a laser, being put in the attic) solely to tick Woody off. See [https://web.archive.org/web/20120101124252/http://www.primaryignition.com/2010/06/17/justins-words-of-wisdom-mr-potato-head-is-an-asshole/ here] for a deeper analysis into his antagonism. However, that article questions how Mr. Potato Head would "rank up" upon Woody's defeat. It's simple, we already know that Mr. Potato Head is up there with Rex and Slinky, and I'll even throw Hamm and RC in there:
** Buzz: As the article states, Buzz would be easy to get rid of due to his delusions, and Mr. Potato Head gets lucky with Woody taking care of him.
** Slinky: He could easily be framed as an accomplice of Woody. Plus, he's not really competition when it comes to "snuggling" with Andy, as snuggling with a slinky would be quite dangerous.
Line 667:
* Anyway, in summation, Mr. Potato Head was always plotting to get rid of Woody in order to become Andy's favorite toy. His reasons for his villainy? He was tired of always being cast as a [[Villain/butt Monkey|butt Monkey]]/[[Chew Toy]] and wanted to be a hero for a change. He still had a desire to usurp Woody and Buzz up until Mrs. Potato Head showed up, [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|as he now gets to be the villain/butt monkey/chew toy with her, and he will always be her hero.]]
** Potato Head might very well ''not'' understand RC at all and just be pulling a pre-decided dialogue to incriminate Woody. After all, it's not like RC could shout then "[[Quote Mine|I didn't say any of this!]]".
** I think he ''was'' intended to be an antagonist, I mean, he got [[Laser -Guided Karma]] at the end of the climax with RC crashing into him and sending his peices flying.
 
== This is the Toy Story timeline. ==
Line 692:
 
== The Pizza Planet truck is a harbinger of great events ==
Think about it. In ''Toy Story'' it indirectly brings Woody and Buzz to Sid's house. In ''Toy Story 3'' we see that it brought Lotso, Big Baby, and Chuckles to Sunnyside. In ''[[A Bugs Life (Animation)|A Bug's Life]]'', it is there when Flik meets the "warrior bugs". In ''[[Monsters Inc.|Monsters, Inc.]]'', the same trailer where it was in ''[[A Bugs Life (Animation)|A Bug's Life]]'' is also where Randall has fate defeat him. However, the most important appearance of the truck would be ''Toy Story 2''. Yes, it allows the toys to catch up to Al and all. But more importantly, it is in that truck where they encounter the 3 aliens who would later save Andy's Toys from certain death.
 
Alternatively, the aliens have some kind of mystic quality (which they have been wrongly attributing to The Claw), hence why there is nothing special about the Pizza Planet truck post-''Toy Story 2'' ([[TS 3]]TS3's is a flashback, and ''[[Monsters Inc.|Monsters, Inc.]]'' either takes place before TS2 or the guy has more alien toys at home).
* 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.]]
 
Line 720:
Since Al wanted the complete Wood's Roundup collection (albeit for profit), the toys he collected were still alive, hence how Jessie and the Prospector were still alive, despite one being abandoned, and the other never having a child owner, that want brought them to life.
 
Sid's toys, despite haing been blown to bits, are still wanted. He's warped in the head, and prefers his toys to look freakish, and doesn't see the harm in taking two average toys and mixing them into something he wants even more.
 
Lotso and Big Baby were still wanted, even though they got replaced. Lotso's owner still wanted "her Lotso" even though she was now on her second Lotso. Hence they stayed alive until they got to the nursery, where they were wanted by other kids, and continued living.
Line 734:
* This solves all questions related to Woody's knowledge of his franchise so well, it ought to be made canon!
** But wouldn't there still be Woody dolls produced based on the show itself?
*** Sure, but they wouldn't be worth as much on several different levels. It's kind of like owning a first print issue of a comic book; the obvious comparison is to Action Comics #1. In this case, it's worth a lot of money because it introduced a wildly popular character ([[You Should Know This Already|Superman]]) and there were 100 or fewer copies printed; our Woody, being one of the dolls that inspired the series, is worth quite a bit more money than one of the post-Roundup dolls. If I've totally missed your point and you were talking about the memory issue, then ''those'' dolls would have knowledge of Woody's Roundup, but the sheriff we all know and love would still be in the dark, since that has no impact on when he was manufactured.... [[TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|Wow. I just out-nerded myself.]] [[I Regret Nothing|Why doesn't that bother me more?]]
*** Don't worry about it, because Action Comics #1 is rare today not because so few copies were printed, but rather because so few copies survived destruction in [[World War Two]] era paper drives.
 
Line 755:
 
== In between TS2 and TS3 (spoilers), {{spoiler|Bo }}was... ==
...Given to [[Up (Filmanimation)|Carl and Elle]] for use in their baby's new room. The only evidence that I have of this is that Andy and the Frederickson's are somehow connected (there's a easter egg postcard in Andy's room from them). After {{spoiler|the miscarriage}}, Bo was given away by because the Frederickson's didn't want {{spoiler|any reminders of what they had lost}}. Somehow Bo will find her way back to the rest of the gang. Really.
 
== Buy n Large Batteries really are something special... ==
Line 770:
The ''[[Power Rangers]]'' are known for wearing the colour that corresponds to their suits when they are not out saving the world in very [[Color Character]] fashion. In the {{spoiler|flashback that reveals Lotso's backstory}}, Daisy wears lots of yellow. Ergo, sometime in her future, she becomes one of the Power Rangers.
 
== Andy and [[The Brave Little Toaster|Rob]] are going to meet at college, and become friends. ==
It's just meant to be...
 
Line 845:
 
== There won't be a Toy Story 4 ==
I just can't see Pixar letting it happen (and Disney does seem to respect their decisions well enough). But there will be more than just the Cars 2 pre-movie short. Likely, the shorts will be all about random misadventures, some will expand on the time between the first and second films, and a few will detail events preceeding the third. And likely a few will take place after the third, maybe even reuniting Bo Peep with Woody. Eventually, the shorts might get spliced into a sort of pseudo film, likely with an added backstory that ends with a distant finale. In that sense, it won't ruin the note [[TS 3]]TS3 went out on, but at the same time reaffirm that everything the series taught us over the years.
 
== Bo Peep was BROKEN. Woody watched the pieces swept up before his eyes and thrown away. ==
Line 863:
I'm basing this on the ending song and saying with the exception of the note and the scenes before it which are all [[Barbie X Ken]] all the scenes depict a paring. Actually I think the [[Totoro X Bullseye]] pairing makes the most scence of all of there.
 
== Toy Story takes place at the same time that ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' first started airing. ==
And Sid is a brony. That's why while he was asleep he said:
{{quote| I wanna ride the pony}}
* And Buttercup's true identity? Surprise, the predecessor to Pinkie Pie, but a unicorn instead of a pegasus. (Dolly said that at Bonnie's house, toys have the opportunity to change their names, and the toy Bonnie knew as "Baron Von Shush" was listed in the credits as "Mr. Pricklepants". This, combined with Hasbro's connection to both franchises makes it entirely logical that Buttercup is just Unicorn!Surprise under an alias.)
== Lotso's backstory is more ironic than it first appears if you look at the origional idea for him ==
Line 882:
 
== Jessie was actually supposed to be Woody's new girlfriend ==
The guys at Pixar thought that Jessie should be Woody's new girlfriend so they [[Put Onon a Bus|bought a ticket]] for Bo Beep. But after realizing the fans' reactions towards [[Jessie X Buzz]], they decided [[Ascended Fanon|to give them what they wanted.]]
 
== Randall from Monter's Inc is the key between TS, Wall-E, Finding Nemo, Ratatoullie, and eventually causes the polluted future in Wall-E ==
