- Toy Story Toons: In "Small Fry", Buzz proving once again that he's the franchise's resident Action Hero by trying to escape the closed Poultry Palace restaurant, going from jumping on the door to escalating an air-vent in rapid succession. And after escaping the kid's meal toys therapy group, he returns at Bonnie's home in record time (though how he returned so fast is left unexplained).

- The Toy Story films were all notoriously plagued by troubled productions without exception, some of it stemming from Executive Meddling by Disney, some others as a result of technical difficulties. And despite these sometimes terrible odds, Pixar's staff always managed to be at the top of their game and deliver a high quality product, considering the critical and audience reception each film has enjoyed. The animation studio's legendary dedication to using the best stories and animation has always been at full play in their flagship film franchise.
- With Toy Story 4, the film series is now a very rare example of a perfect tetralogy - every single film has been held in universally high regard and acclaim. Not even the Avengers films can come close.
