But none of them have ever compared or been more psychotic and villainous, than the original Toy Story villain: Sid Phillips. As Andy's neighbor, Sid couldn't be more different than the loving owner of the beloved toy heroes. He relishes in taking toys apart and fashioning them into other creepy hybrids.
Sid is the very first main antagonist of a Disney/Pixar film, because Toy Story was Pixar's very first film. He is also the first main antagonist of a CGI film, because Toy Story was the world's first computer-animated feature film. John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton do not consider Sid to be evil.
While there are a few extra evil side characters (such as Al of Al's Toy Barn fame), for the purposes of today I'm going to look at the four main villains of the films: Sid, Andy's neighbour who is a destructive bully of a kid, and breaks all his toys.
To bring some reality to the highly stylized Toy Story world, Pauley says, “We've added more complexity, more richness, to give you a sense of place and atmosphere.” To achieve that, Reeves explains, “We added dust particulate in the air… which led to visually pleasing bokeh effects.” Dust, in fact, is one of the ...
Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich revealed in a tweet in 2020 that if a toy gets destroyed, it's "game over." The removal of a head (or even multiple body parts) isn't something a toy can't come back from, but it seems there are accidents so severe that a toy could be killed given the right circumstances.
In Toy Story 2, villains Stinky Pete, Al the Toy Collector, and Emperor Zurg all had their agendas, but what if they weren't the only characters with something sinister up their sleeves?
When he made his way back to her, he made the heartbreaking discovery that she had replaced him with a new Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear. It was this event that made him evil. After arriving at Sunnsyide, he decided to rule it like a prison and turn the other toys into his minions.
The second is the toys' trip to the incinerator – it's a morbid and deeply disturbing image, but it creates another parallel there between the plot of Toy Story 3 and the horrific real-life events of one of history's darkest periods.
A fan theory suggests that Boo from Monsters, Inc. grows up to be Andy's mom in Toy Story, but there are flaws in this theory. Pete Docter, Chief Creative Officer of Pixar, debunked the theory and explained that the Easter eggs in Pixar films are not meant to impact the storylines of other films.
Woody. Woody and Jessie share a sibling-like relationship. Since meeting each other in Al's penthouse, the two share a close bond. The two are shown to have pretty heated arguments from time to time, but they deeply care for each other nonetheless.
Andy's dad never appears in any of the Toy Story films, and his absence is never addressed directly. Naturally, several theories have sprung up to explain that away, including some in which Andy's parents got divorced. One theory suggests that Andy's dad died prior to Toy Story 1, after a childhood battle with polio.
Phillips is an alcoholic and abusive, which explains why there are empty beer cans surrounding his recliner, and why Scud left the room the minute he saw him sleeping.
Lotso Huggin Bear is one of the most complex villains Toy Story ever introduced. He's the all-powerful leader of the toys at Sunnyside Daycare, charismatic and domineering and fully supported by his own little gang of henchmen.
Sid is by no means a well-behaved kid. He's awful to his sister, Hannah (Sarah Freeman), and he probably broke the Whack-a-Alien machine at Pizza Planet. But he's still a kid. He dreams about riding ponies, and he gets genuinely distressed when it storms too hard to play outside.
Trivia. Only the finished film version of Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear is Pure Evil, while his original script version isn't since the tragic undertones of his backstory (while still the same of his finished version) hold up greatly and he lacks a single moral event horizon.
Rocky Gibraltar is a figure of a former heavy-weight wrestler, probably based on the collectible Wrestling Superstars figures made by Hasbro. He is noted for being the strongest toy in Andy's room.
Konishi earlier in the film was cut off due to not having the entire collection he promised and it is likely Al and his store began to suffer financial troubles. Shortly after this, he is seen in one of his commercials, sobbing over his loss of fortune while barely stating that the store has the lowest prices in town.
Though the end of Toy Story 4 is emotional, the end of Toy Story 3 is still sadder. At the end of Toy Story 3, Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the remaining Toy Story toys leave their previous long-time owner Andy, probably for good. He's eighteen now and going to college.
An action-packed climax at a nearby carnival ends in a happy finale for everyone, even Gabby Gabby. But it doesn't include Woody driving off with Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) and all his friends who grew up with Andy (see: the previous three “Toy Story” films) and now are there for Bonnie in her formative years.
Pixar co-founder Ed Catmull wrote in his book Creativity Inc. that disaster struck the production of Toy Story 2 when an unnamed employee was doing a routine spot of server cleaning when they accidentally put in a command to delete the root file for the movie.
