History YMMV / ToyStory

** The ''Toy Story 2'' game for both the UsefulNotes/PlayStation, Dreamcast, PC and the UsefulNotes/{{Nintendo 64}} combined the similar free-roaming gameplays of ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' and ''VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon'' to great effect, while following the plot of the movie. This helped a lot in Europe, where the game's rerelease on the UsefulNotes/PlaystationNetwork helped to make out for the ''Spyro'' trilogy's late arrival (December 2012). Additionally, several movie locations[[note]](such as Andy's house, his neighborhood, Al's Toy Barn and its Pizza Planet-esque Buzz Lightyear-based section, Al's penthouse and the airport)[[/note]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-5jnJoNjVk translate pretty well to functional video game levels.]]

** Creator/TomHanks's character in this film has an owner named Andy. Tom Hanks previously played [[NamesTheSame another character named Andy]] in [[Film/{{Philadelphia}} another film from two years prior]].

** The [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory franchise]] is huge in China, to the point where it has a huge presence at both Hong Kong and Shanghai's Disney theme parks, and its' own hotel at the former. Bob Iger attended the parade at the grand opening of the former park and noticed that the crowd got excited when the Toy Story float appeared. This led to the company deciding to purchase Pixar after nearly parting ways with the company due to creative differences.

* UncannyValley: Like so many elements inherent to the series since the very beginning, this {{trope}} has finally come full circle. While in the original the human characters appeared unnatural and robotic due to the [[UncannyValley Valley]] (the very reason the animation of the toys was convincing for its time), as of the third film Creator/{{Pixar}} made the humans more stylised in line with ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''. However, Creator/{{Pixar}} instead invokes the [[UncannyValley Valley]] to great effect with Ken and Barbie, whose animations are just subtly inhuman enough to make them very slightly creepy. This is especially apparent in Ken's opening scene, [[{{Foreshadowing}} and he is most certainly not to be trusted]]. Big Baby is the UncannyValley personified.

** It's also big in Japan as well, and is the most popular Pixar film in the country. This is probably because many Japanese, both young and old, have a fondness for toys.

* HoYayShipping: It's not very uncommon to find Woody/Buzz shippers. There is also a small following for Ducky/Bunny which isn’t that surprising considering the fact that Ducky and Bunny are always seen together due to the fact that they are sewn together by hand.

* FountainOfMemes: Because of their goofy facial expressions, Woody and Buzz have formed countless memes.

* StockParodyJokes: The toys accidentally see a teenage/adult Andy doing something sexual.

!! Series-wide

* AccidentalInnuendo: The title of the song ''You've Got a Friend in Me'' has been interpreted as a sexual metaphor.

** In ''Toy Story'', Buzz lets out the famous [[StockScream Wilhelm scream]] when he is knocked off the window by a lamp in Andy's Room; in ''Toy Story 2'', Emperor Zurg is an obvious Darth Vader Parody, and in ''Toy Story 3'', [[spoiler: Big Baby tosses Lotso into the dumpster in a manner similar to Darth Vader tossing the emperor into the Death Star's reactor shaft in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi]]. In 2012, Disney buys the rights for ''Franchise/StarWars'' and the rest is all history!

** 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 Creator/WayneKnight, the guy who voiced Al, will later voice Zurg in the spinoff.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:
** "Authority should derive from the consent of the governed, not by threat of force!" Three words: Egypt, Tunisia, Libya.
** This or HarsherInHindsight (Do Stinky Pete and Lotso know each other?):
--> '''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!
** In Sid's room, a US Army manual titled "TM 31-210: Improvised Interrogation Techniques" can be seen in the background. This makes a bit of sense, given the magnifying-glass scene with Woody, but there is an ''actual'' TM 31-210 published by the US Army that makes much more sense for Sid; it deals with creating and using improvised explosive devices.

* GeniusProgramming: The UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis version of the video game adaptation of the first movie is very impressive on a graphical level. The digitized sprites are one thing; the ''faux 3D'' affects in the background is another. Some of the background elements look as if they were rendered on the [=PS1=], and there are sprites that should be technically too large for the Genesis to handle, but still work anyways. [[https://youtu.be/vpqIJNKuWnU?t=1340 The Pizza Planet level is often regarded as being one of the most graphically impressive things on the Genesis.]] And then there's the fact that there's [[https://youtu.be/vpqIJNKuWnU?t=1811 the first person level]].
