History Fridge / ToyStory4

* The biggest hint that Harmony wouldn't be interested in Gabby Gabby is that she is a regular at her grandma's store, probably spending many hours there. She probably has already seen Gabby Gabby and wasn't interested in Gabby Gabby. Gabby Gabby's voice box working only got drew Harmony's attention enough to give her another look.

* Why is Woody so willing to return to Gabby Gabby after she is rejected by Harmony? Besides being a good guy, Woody has already seen two cases where rejected toys became bitter and destructive. This time, he's present at the very moment of abandonment, and he's not going to let Gabby Gabby go down that path.

* Dolly and the other toys have a reason to be worried when Woody goes with Bonnie to First Grade orientation. Aside from the likely scenario of being confiscated or lost, they don't want to take chances that there will be a shady toy like Lotso ruling the class's toys with an iron fist. If it were so, there would be no way for Woody to alert the other toys at home that he'd been kidnapped.

** Plenty of kids end up swearing at one point or another while growing up and Sid most likely was one of those kids and maybe Andy too, and Woody even implied back in ''Toy Story'' that he knew some profanities by saying to Buzz, "The word I'm looking for, I won't say, because there's preschool toys present".

* Woody wanting to help Forky learn to be Bonnie's toy makes a lot more sense than it appears on the surface; Woody got Bonnie the materials to make Forky in the first place. In other words, Woody is so protective of Forky because he's Forky's father. The subtext is clearly intentional, as Woody's early scene with Forky are played ''exactly'' like an exhausted father dealing with a difficult child.

** Speaking of consciences, the way Buzz interprets the "inner voice" as coming from his voicebox actually foreshadows the fate of Gabby Gabby. Without a working voicebox, Gabby is willing to steal one from another toy with little regard for that toy's option, because she has no "conscience!" But when she meets Woody, who willingly gives his voicebox up, Gabby starts to become a much more sympathetic and likeable character. Woody gave Gabby an "inner voice" both figuratively and literally!

** Also, whose to say she won't care when she realises Woody's gone? Just because she wasn't using him in her current game doesn't mean she didn't care at all. After all, it's not like she knew Woody was alive and she was hurting his feelings by not playing with him.

* WordOfGod has confirmed that Giggle McDimples was inspired by Jiminy Cricket from {{Disney/Pinocchio}}. Jiminy's role in that movie was the "conscience" of a toy that had come to life. Toy Story 4 also plays around with toys listening to their "inner voice."

** Woody implied back in ''Toy Story'' that he knew some profanities, but wouldn't say them in earshot of the "preschool toys".

* This installment reveals that curse words do exist in the Toy Story universe, if the scene where Mr. Anderson is about to use “some words” after the tire gets flatten is anything to go by. While it would be odd in other fictional universes for characters to never or rarely if ever swear, here it actually makes sense. The toys hang around young children constantly, so naturally swearing isn’t part of their vocabulary.

** Fittingly, the second featured both a scary toy who is proven relatively harmless (Zurg), and a non-Scary Toy who is a WellIntentionedExtremist, though ultimately both have roughly the same threat level. The third has a very cuddly toy who’s the morally most rotten character in the series, backed up by intimidating action figures who are PunchClockVillains, and a damaged old baby doll who is a TragicVillain, much like Gabby.

* People say that Woody was [[EasilyForgiven surprisingly quick to forgive]] Gabby Gabby after some of her villainous actions, but I think he did the right and smart thing to cooperate and help her out, because imagine if Woody wasn't the AllLovingHero he was, held a grudge against her, and didn't help her find a kid. She was already committing morally questionable acts out of desperation for a voicebox, but if the abandonment continued, it's likely she would have eventually turned into another Lotso.
