Sheriff
Woody W oody is
Andy's
favorite
toy
which
is
remarkable
as
he
is
an
old-fashioned
pull
string
doll. Pulling
the
string
activates
his
voice-box
.
Woody
exclaims
one
of
several
possible
exclamations,
'Reach
for
the
Sky',
'There's
a
snake
in my boots', 'You're my favorite
deputy', or 'Someone's poisoned the water hole!'. Woody is the most
popular toy and the de facto leader of the toys
from
Andy's
room.
In
Toy
Story
2,
Woddy
discovers
that
he
is
a
toy
based
on
a
character
from
a
TV
series
called Woody's Round-up.Buzz Lightyear Known as Buzz for short, Buzz joins the action at the beginning of the first film when Andy receives him as a birthday present. This upsets the toys' social equilibrium as Buzz' expansive character changes the
group dynamic amongst the toys. Buzz
boosts many exciting features,
including pop-out wings, exclamations activated by buttons (including
the famous 'To infinity and beyond!'), a laser (a flashing bulb in most toy versions), a
karate-chop action (absent in most toys), glow in the dark space-suit,
and a rectrable helmet. In Toy Story 3, Buzz is also revealed to have
different language settings when he is inadvertantly reset to
Spanish. Buzz is a space ranger and member of Star Command. He is engaged in a fight of good versus evil
against Zurg, who has designs to take over the galaxy. Buzz Lightyear
has also been the hero of Buzz
Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins (Disney-Pixar,
2000)
an animated direct to video film which was subsequently followed up a
TV series, Buzz Lightyear of Star
Command.Rex Rex is a very loveable dinosaur. Although one the most powerful and impressive creatures to ever grace the earth, he is handicapped by his puny arms. He can be excitable and lives in the fear that one
day Andy
may receive a more intimidating dinosaur
revealing
his
inedquacies.
Rex
is
also
the
main
protagonist
in
a
moment
of
parody
in
Toy
Story
2.
The
toys
having found
some wheels to explore Al's Toy Barn toy store, Rex being left behind,
chases the vehicle
calling after his friends. The split-second view of Hamm's vision of
Rex's open jaws in the wing rear-view mirror is a direct throw back to
Jurassic Park.Mr Potato Head This is a classic toy from Playschool. In Toy Story, Mr Potato Head is sarcastic and vocal. He is often the butt of many jokes willing and unwilling. This is the character the writers obviously had most fun creating, this is obvious in his actions like his holding his eyes up to see
over a crowd of
toys, pretending pulling his own lips out to pretend to kiss his own
back-side to diss Slinky Dog's
defending of Woody's leadership, or even the the tortilla episode in in
Toy Story 3. Locked up over night in the sand pit, all his elements get
out through a hole in the side of the sand pit leaving his body behind. Mr Potato Head then
rebuilds himself by sticking his eyes, arms, etc into a tortilla! The
plan almost comes unhinged when a passing pigeon decides he looks like
a tasty dinner! Mr Potato Head also plays strip battle-ships with Hamm
shedding body parts as he takes hits!Mrs Potato Head At the end of Toy Story, Mr Potato Head gets his wish (he had wished for Mrs Potato Head at the begining of the film when Andy was opening his birthday presents), Andy receives
Mrs Potato head as a Christmas present. She takes a more prominent role
in the two sequals. With some real laugh out
load comments when helping Mr
Potato Head pack for the Woody Search Party in the would-be bloopers
during the end credits, she packs the angry
eyes
of
course,
but
also
golf
clubs,
a
key
and
much
more
into
the
back
of
Mr
Potato
Head!
She
is
caring
and
devout
to
Mr
Potato
Head
to
an
almost comical levelHamm Is a piggy bank with a very pragmatic approach to life and does not hold back with his wise-cracks.
His coins are held in a by cork which falls out in a comedy moment when
he warns the other toys that 'Nobody can look'.
Media
savvy,
he
reveals
himself
to
be
a
mad-channel
surfer
when
the
toys
are
looking
for
the
Al's
Toy
Barn
commercial on TV in Toy Sory 2. He also takes on the role
of Evil Doctor Pork Chop in the opening sequence of Toy Story 3.Slinky Dog Slinky Dog is Woddy's faithful ally in winning over and convincing the toys in any situation. He
plays chekers with Woody. His ability to
strech is often tested and he proves to be very flexible and
strechable, expecially when holding on to Woody out of the back the
moving van at the end of Toy Story, Helping the toys jump off the roof
and diving into a lift in Toy Story 2 - don't try this at home kids!
Slinky is based on a toy popular from the 50's through to the 70's. |
