40	** ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'':
41	*** Many Barbie dolls first appear in their respective aisle in Al's Toy Barn. Most of them are minor characters and are mostly just used for a few gags. One in particular serves as a tour guide who gives Andy's toys a tour of the store rather than take them directly to Al's office as they intended.

43	*** When Wheezy sings a reprise of "You've Got a Friend in Me" at the end of the movie, three Barbie dolls appear as backup singers.
44	*** In the blooper reel, Woody turns Stinky Pete's box to reveal him talking to a pair of twin Barbies, telling them he's sure he can get them a part in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3''. [[{{Bowdlerise}} This blooper, unfortunately, was cut from the 2019 4K and Digital releases]].
45	*** Tour Guide Barbie appears again at the very end of the blooper reel, where she says goodbye to the viewers and reminds them to properly dispose of their trash. After bidding everyone goodbye, she finally stops smiling and comments on it exaggeratedly:
46	--->'''Barbie:''' Oh, my gosh, my cheeks are ''killing'' me! I can't even keep smiling like this anymore! I am ''exhausted''!
47	** Barbie and Ken are prominent characters in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3''. Barbie is donated to Sunnyside by Molly, and Ken originally worked for Lotso.
