Line 119:
* [[Creepy Doll]]: Big Baby.
* [[Cute Giant]]: Lotso and Big Baby are each considerably larger than the protagonists.
* [[Cymbal-Banging MonsterMonkey]]: When night falls on Sunnyside Daycare, he sits at the front desk, watching all the surveillance 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.
** May be a [[Shout-Out]] to a [[Stephen King]]'s The MonsterMonkey, or [[Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders]], the infamous film featured on ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' partially based upon it (a 1984 horror film called ''The Devil's Gift'' blatantly plagiarized King's short story was edited into [[Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders]]). The monstermonkey looks ''just'' like the design from the cover of Skeleton Crew, the collection that contains it.
* [[Dark Reprise]]: Of 'You've Got a Friend In Me' at the beginning of the film. Just to clarify, the song ends at the line 'Our friendship will never die!' The background music stops, and we just hear 'never die' echo over and over.
* [[Dance Party Ending]]: Stay for the credits. Set to a Spanish version of "You Got A Friend In Me." The choreography was done by [[Dancing With the Stars]] contestants.
Line 148:
** Well, Steve had shares in Disney, so...
*** Pixar even points it out that he was an important reason the original Toy Story could even get out.
* [[Everything Makes a Mushroom]]: The "Death By MonstersMonkeys" bomb set off by "Evil Dr. Porkchop" in Andy's playtime imagination in the beginning.
* [[Everything's Better with MonstersMonkeys]]: Hilariously subverted with the cameo of the barrel monstersmonkeys in the opening, horrifyingly subverted with the monstermonkey toy from Sunnyside.
* [[Everything's Better with Sparkles]]: Barbie and Ken, of course, and also Stretch the octopus.
* [[Everything's Worse with Bears]]: Lotso Bear [[Sealed Evil in a Teddy Bear|plays this straight]].
Line 167:
** [[The Dragon]]: Big Baby. Ken may also count.
** [[The Brute]]: Twitch, Chunk, Sparks, and Stretch.
** [[The Evil Genius]]: The MonsterMonkey and Bookworm.
** [[The Dark Chick]]: Ken. May also be [[Co-Dragons]] with Big Baby.
** [[Sixth Ranger]]: Demo-mode Buzz.
Line 276:
* [[Motive Rant]]: [[Big Bad|Lotso]] gets one just before he throws the toys into the dumpster.
* [[Murder by Cremation]]
* [[Musical Nod]]: During the scene leading up to the incinerator, one of the themes from ''[[MonkeysMonsters, Inc.]]'' is heard.
* [[Musical Spoiler]]: ''And as the years go by / [[Ironic Echo|Our friendship will never die...]]''
** Although at the point where that line is emphasized (The end of the prologue) it seems more like a tragic irony, contrasting youthful idealism with the onset of adulthood, one of the film's main themes.
Line 283:
** One of the trailers, in fact, shows Buzz '''attacking''' the bridge followed by Woody and the train falling into the canyon. Coupled with Rex emerging from the ground and Woody being pursued by plastic monkeys (both present in most trailers), it totally looks like Woody's having a nightmare where every other toy is trying to kill him.
* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: Lotso comes off as a bit of one when saying how toys "are all just trash" in his [[Motive Rant]].
* [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant]]: Again, hello, '''''[[Cymbal-Banging MonsterMonkey|MONSTERMONKEY.]]'''''
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Ninja Pirate Train Robber]]: Mrs. Potato Head
* [[Non-Ironic Clown]]: Chuckles the clown doll, who shared the same former owner as Lotso Bear and Big Baby, turns out to be the only one of the three toys not to turn villainous from the incident of being accidentally abandoned by their former owner. In a flashback he even tries to console Lotso Bear, but Lotso bear ignores him and [[Start of Darkness|turns]] [[Face Heel Turn|evil]]. In the present, Chuckles is a [[Stoic Woobie]] despite being one of Bonnie's beloved toys. But by the end credits, he [[Defrosting Ice Queen|begins to smile again.]]
* [[Non-Standard Character Design]]: The toys have a lot of variety in their looks, but Ken and Barbie are noticably less cartoonish than most of them.
* [[Not So Different]]: Lotso's devotion to Daisy and his determination to get himself, Big Baby, and Chuckles back to her (as revealed in the flashback) is certainly reminiscent of Woody's love for Andy and his determination to get back home in all three movies. Additionally, Lotso at the beginning comes off as a benevolent ruler of Sunnyside much in the way that Woody basically is the leader of all of Andy's toys. Lotso basically is Woody gone bad. Not stated directly in the movie but Lee Unkrich points this out in the DVD commentary.
* [[The Old Convict]]: Chatter Telephone has been at Sunnyside Daycare Center even before Lotso Bear took it over. To help Woody and his friends escape the daycare center, Chatter Telephone detailedly describes the layout of the daycare center and warns Woody that the only way for a toy to escape is to neutralize the Cymbal MonsterMonkey's surveillance system.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Slinky Dog, who was voiced by the late Jim "Ernest" Varney in the first two films, is voiced by Blake Clark (a friend of his, who was also Shawn's father in ''[[Boy Meets World]]'') in ''Toy Story 3'' due to [[Author Existence Failure]].
** In the game, Buzz and Woody are both voiced by Jim Hanks and Stephen Stanton, respectively. Wheezy and Stinky Pete also makes an appearance, but are instead voiced by [[Charlie Adler]] and James Patrick Stuart, although the former is also due to [[Author Existence Failure]].
Line 338:
** '''Mr. Potato Head:''' [[Scooby Doo|"And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for]] [[You Meddling Kids|you meddling toys!"]]
** The departure of the soldiers resembles how the baby spiders left at the end of ''[[Charlotte's Web]]''.
** The [[Cymbal-Banging MonsterMonkey]], is based off of the [[Stephen King]] story "The MonsterMonkey".
*** And remember to believe in magic... [[Mystery Science Theater 3000|or he'll kill you]]...
** Barbie and Ken's outfits during the dance sequence at the end is a reference to [[Saturday Night Fever]].
Line 345:
*** In the "Art Of Toy Story 3" book he's ''clearly'' a Care Bear, baby face and eyelashes and all, which makes his grim, rain-soaked [[Start of Darkness]] look more disturbing.
** A tower with a klieg that searches the playground. [[The Lord of the Rings|Doesn't ring a bell]].
** Rex being overwhelmed by the flood of monstersmonkeys in the intro is reminiscent of a background event in the [[The Lord of the Rings|Battle of Pelennor Fields]], where the Dead Men overwhelm and devour an Oliphaunt.
** '''''[[Mission: Impossible]]!'''''
** This may just be reading WAAAAAAAY too much into the scene, but one of the scenes with '''Ken''' wearing a white gi, similar to a certain [[Street Fighter|someone...]]
Line 364:
* [[Start of Darkness]]: Chuckles the Clown's flashback segment outlines exactly why Lotso turns out to be the cruel despot of Sunnyside.
* [[Stealth Pun]]: MR. PITA head anyone?
** The preschooler believed to be [[MonkeysMonsters, Inc.|Boo]] is playing with a blue "Kitty."
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Lotso bear turns out to be Type C, as he is the film's villain.
** Chatter Telephone. His "mouth" sticker is in a constant smile, despite the fact that he is shown to be a very depressed toy.
