* UnintentionalUncannyValley: The baby (Billy) is one of the most infamous examples in the history of CGI, owing to the 3D software's limitations. His skin is as plastic as the toys themselves, and his stiff, robotic movement combined with the appearance of a realistic baby just looks unsettling. In this case, though, it actually works to the short's benefit, as the titular toy is also very unnerved by it.

NLID is supposed to be about character's actions only.


* NeverLiveItDown: Despite inspiring the legendary ''Franchise/ToyStory'' series, winning the first Oscar for both Pixar and an AllCGICartoon in general, and being selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”, the creepy-looking Billy is among the main reasons why the short is remembered nowadays, to the point where animators take this to account in order to avoid the UnintentionalUncannyValley.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process

* {{Tearjerker}}: Despite his infamously horrific design, it's still pretty sad to hear Billy cry after he falls down. Tin Toy is the ''only'' one there to comfort the child; the other toys are too scared and Billy's parents (or whoever is supposed to be taking care of him at the moment) are either out of earshot or too apathetic to do anything.
