History WesternAnimation / Toystory

* ''Lightyear'' (2022) - An animated OriginStory film based on the ShowWithinAShow that spawned the InUniverse ''Buzz Lightyear'' toyline, starring Creator/ChrisEvans as Buzz Lightyear.

* ''Lightyear'' (2022)

* ''Script/ToyStory3''

* OncePerEpisode:
** Every film at one point has toys hiding under something and then walking with it. The first had Woody and Buzz underneath the Pizza Planet cup and burger box walking through Pizza Planet, the second had all the toys who went to rescue Woody underneath traffic cones crossing a street, and later walking a dog's travel container through the airport terminal; the third had the toys about to be thrown away hiding under a plastic recycle bin and walking back to the garage.
*** Even more so, every film ends off with a DancePartyEnding. ''2'' and ''3'' had the most obvious examples while the original had a brief karaoke dance moment during the Christmas Party.
** Every film, including the first, features a cover version of the iconic ''Toy Story'' theme "You've Got a Friend in Me" in the credits. The first was a duet by Music/RandyNewman and [[CountryMusic Lyle Lovett]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_284Y8Wu7c]], the second had an show stopping UsefulNotes/NewOrleans Jazz version sung by Wheezy [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxQQARDTRUk]], and the final film had a very flamenco influenced version done by the Gipsy Kings [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu8GQQctTi4]].
** Each film also contains an extended period with a Buzz who believes himself to be ''the'' [[CaptainSpaceDefenderOfEarth Buzz Lightyear]]. The first film, obviously, has Andy's Buzz, the second film features the UtilityBelt Buzz from Al's Toy Barn, and the third film features [[spoiler:Andy's Buzz being forcibly reverted to his old personality and used as a minion of Lotso. In addition, [[GratuitousSpanish Spanish Buzz]] also believes himself to be a Space Ranger, though his personality is much friendlier]].

*** Buzz's archenemy — Zurg — as a toy, holds this, too, and engages combat with the Buzz with the belt. A ShoutOut to ''[[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Star Wars]]'' is involved.

* HitScan: Buzz's laser. Unlike Zurg's [[FrickinLaserBeams Ion Blaster]], it hits its target instantly.

** The fourth film turns Bo Peep from a [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Smurfette]] SatteliteCharacter to a proactive, take-charge ActionGirl.

** Averted with {{Franchise/Barbie}}, Etch-A-Sketch, trolls and a whole bunch of other toys. The copyrights all get mentioned in the end titles.

* CanonWelding: Apparently, Pixar considers the Toybox world of ''Kingdom Hearts 3'' to be canon to the films, and canonically set between ''2'' & ''3''.
* CaptainSpaceDefenderOfEarth: Buzz.
* CassandraTruth: Woody in all three films. ''1'': "Buzz is alive!" ''2'': "Andy didn't break me intentionally!" ''3'': "Andy didn't throw you away!"

** In "Toy Story of Terror", Creator/CarlWeathers plays [[{{Film/Predator}} a soldier toy whose friends have been snatched by seemingly invisible monster]].
* {{Catchphrase}}:

** "Run like the wind, Bullseye!"

** The Potatoes' ability to [[spoiler:see though a disconnected eye]] is something introduced in the second scene of the first film and becomes a major plot point a decade later in ''3'', when Mrs. Potato Head uses her missing eye to [[spoiler:discover that Andy is looking for them after his mother donates them to the Daycare Center]].

* DemotedToExtra: Slinky, in ''3''. He had a fairly sizable role in the first two films as Woody's best pal, but is merely a background character when the toys head off to Sunnyside Daycare.

* {{Expy}}: Sarge, voiced by Creator/RLeeErmey, is [[Film/FullMetalJacket Gunnery Sergeant Hartman]] in toy form.

* GenkiGirl: Jessie, full-throttle. Trixie and {{Franchise/Barbie}} in the third.

* HeliumSpeech: The voice actors (not just Jeff Pidgeon, although it was mostly him) actually inhaled helium to make the voices of the Martians.

* LoveImbuesLife: Implied. In the canon ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'' level for ''Toy Story'', Woody mentions that toys that haven't attained sentience yet "haven't learned how to yet". Young Xehanort shortly after adds that the hearts of toys' owners (especially that of children) are connected to their toys and is what makes the world of ''Toy Story'' special.

** Without giving away the joke, there's a moment in ''3'' involving [[TrueNeutral Bookworm]], {{Franchise/Barbie}}, and [[TheDandy Ken]], except that Ken isn't present.

** Most of the toys in the first film saw ''huge'' jumps in sales. Mr. Potato Head for example was revived nearly from the scrap heap, and the Slinky Dog had been ''out of production'' at the time of the film and entered a new giant sales phase when they started making them again. So it can kind of cou nt either way.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Bo Peep was the only prominent female character in the first film. Although she had potential, she was under utilized. This was remedied with the exuberant AffirmativeActionGirl Jessie in the second and third film, as well as Mrs. Potato Head and Barbie.

* AdultFear: Underneath the wackyness the theme of abandonment by the ones you love in the later installments of the series can really hit home hard to children and grown-ups alike.

* BrandX: A few of the minor characters are based off popular retro toys -- without technically ''being'' said toys (probably due to ExecutiveMeddling). Lotso is essentially a Franchise/{{Care Bear|s}} with the tags cut off and Stretch resembles a Wacky Wallwalker.

* BreakUpMakeUpScenario: In each film, Woody has an argument. In ''1'', with Buzz when they are lost, near the end when the other toys think he killed Buzz. In ''2'', with Jessie and later when he refuses to follow his friends back home. In ''3'', when he doesn't want to stay with them at Sunny Side. In ''4'' with [[spoiler: Bo Peep about trying to get Forky again after a failed attempt when Bo Peep chastises him about putting the others in danger]]

* CanonWelding: Apparently, Pixar considers the Toybox world of ''Kingdom Hearts 3'' to be canon to the films, and canonically set between 2 & 3.

* CassandraTruth: Woody in all three films. ''1'': "Buzz is alive!" ''2''. "Andy didn't break me intentionally!" ''3''. "Andy didn't throw you away!"
** [[spoiler:The third installment also has Woody's warning about Sunnyside not being as pleasant as they expect it to be, but even Woody didn't anticipate just how bad it would turn out to be]].

** Another dinosaur that might replace Rex as Andy's dinosaur toy, which worries Rex. Rex doesn't get replaced per se, but another dinosaur DOES appear in ''3''... in someone else's house. [[spoiler:Not only is she also a dinosaur, but she's also a geek like Rex, and the credits epilogue reveals that they get along well]].
** Rex also mentioned wanting to play with a herbivore. [[spoiler:In the end credits, he ends up doing just that in a DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything scene]].

** In ''3'', [[spoiler:The aliens' obsession with The Claw from the first film becomes a hilarious BrickJoke[=/=]ChekhovsGun[=/=]BigDamnHeroes[=/=]DeusExMachina all in one]].

%%* {{Deconstruction}}: Of the more FridgeHorror-y aspects of the original. [[spoiler:Heartwarmingly [[{{Reconstruction}} Reconstructed]] in 3]].

* DisappearedDad: There's no Andy's father in sight. It's never explicitly brought up but fans like to argue the three possibilities: Andy's mom is a widow, a divorcee, or just happens to be a single mother. In the first two scenarios, many fans in turn assume that Woody is one of the only gifts from his father. The third could be yet another ShoutOut to ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'', since Rob's mom is single too. Food for thought: [[RealitySubtext so is John Lasseter's mom]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbmzuoBC1Rs This video]] helps to shed some light on the subject.

*** Buzz's archenemy -- Zurg -- as a toy, holds this, too, and engages combat with the Buzz with the belt. A ShoutOut to ''[[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Star Wars]]'' is involved.

** [[spoiler:The first film has Woody saying to Buzz "you're a child's plaything; you are a '''''toy'''''" when trying to explain to Buzz that he's not a space ranger. The second has Buzz saying this back to Woody when reminding him that he's supposed to be Andy's toy, not a collector's item for a museum]].

** In-universe. In the playtimes, Mr. Potato Head, Hamm and Dolly tend to play villainous characters. Hamm and Potato Head are both [[DeadpanSnarker Deadpan Snarkers]], but still good guys, and Dolly is considered by fans to be the TeamMom of [[ShrinkingViolet Bonnie]]'s toys.
