Davis Family
Tropes for the family as a whole
Tropes that apply to every member of the Davis family.
- Disappeared Dad: Ms. Davis's husband is neither seen on-screen nor even mentioned.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Both Mrs. Davis and her daughter Molly are pretty kind and considerate to others, including each other.
- Innocent Blue Eyes: A trait shared by the whole family, as each member is a good-natured person. Especially prominent during the first two films, where Andy is a youthful and playful Cheerful Child and Molly is just a baby.
- Nice Girl:
- Molly grows up to be a decent and well-behaved young lady.
- Ms. Davis is sweet, loving, motherly, kind, levelheaded and caring as a House Wife and Almighty Mom. When Andy is going to college, she noticeably misses him a lot.
- Two First Names: The family's last name, Davis, can also be used as a first name.
Andy
Andrew "Andy" Davis

Appearances: Toy Story | Toy Story 2 | Toy Story 3 | Toy Story 4
Andy is the original owner of the main toy characters.
- Ascended Extra: While having a vital importance to the plot in the first two films, he was Out of Focus for the most part. He is still Out of Focus for most of the third film, but he also takes center spotlight in one of the most crucial scenes of the film.
- Big Brother Instinct: In Toy Story 3, Andy is a kind brother in his late teens to his sister, Molly, despite their light bickering. When she has trouble lifting a box, he immediately goes to help her. And at the end, with Bonnie, who is a Shrinking Violet. He kneels down at eye-level to her, introduces all his toys to her, and plays with all his toys one last time with Bonnie before he left.
- But Now I Must Go: He gets too old for his toys and heads off to college by Toy Story 3. But he leaves them in the care of Bonnie, whose imaginative playtime will be a blessing to them. Especially when he prepares to give up Woody, who obviously meant a lot to Andy.
- Cheerful Child: In contrast to his Evil Counterpart Sid, Andy is a playful and happy boy in the first two films, especially when playing with his toys.
- Cool Big Bro: For Molly and Bonnie. He acts very sweet and thoughtful to both of them.
- Foil: To Sid Phillips. While Andy is a Nice Guy who takes good care of his toys and treats his sister Molly fairly well, Sid is a maniacal boy who blows up and dismantles toys, and re-constructs them into abominations for his own amusement, and treats his sister Hannah rather poorly.
- Face Palm: Andy does this in 3 when he learns that his mother threw his cherished toys away.
- 555: Andy's cell phone number is 555-0112, written on Buzz's wrist for use in "Operation: Playtime."
- Freak Out: In 3, Andy truly loses his shit when he discovers that his mother unwittingly threw his beloved playthings out.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: His hair as a young adult is considerably lighter than it was when he was a child, but he's still as sweet and good-hearted as ever.
- Handwriting as Characterization: Andy labels Woody with the letter N in his name reversed while Buzz's label has the N oriented normally, showing how much Andy had grown in between getting Woody (when he was a very young kid) and getting Buzz (when he was six years old).
- He Is All Grown Up: As of Toy Story 3, Andy the Cheerful Child has become Andy the Pretty Boy.
- Heroic BSoD: The second sequel shows that Andy was absolutely distraught when he found out Woody and the gang were put out on the street with the rest of the refuse. His reaction witnessed by Mrs. Potato Head via her missing eye is what galvanizes the toys to rush back home before Andy departs for college.
- Hidden Depths:
- He has some knowledge of sewing, repairing Woody's arm at the end of Toy Story 2.
- A poster on his bulletin board in Toy Story 3 reveals that he won an art contest for designing a safety poster in sixth grade.
- Innocently Insensitive: In the first movie, when he neglects Woody in favor of his new toy, Buzz, and doesn't realize it was traumatizing for Woody at that time. He gets better.
- Intergenerational Friendship: With Bonnie — he is a young adult about to enter his freshman year of college while she is pre-school age. They become fast friends.
- It's All Junk: Andy putting his toys in the attic is perceived as this trope by all the other toys but Woody. Worse still when Andy's mom throws them out with the trash.
- The Last Dance: He plays with his toys for the last time along with Bonnie before he leaves them to her.
- Membership Token: Favored toys like Buzz, Woody, and Jessie have "Andy" written on one of their feet.
- A Minor Kidroduction: In 3. The Happier Home Movie early on (re)introduces Andy as a little boy playing with his toys.
- Mr. Imagination: When playing with his toys, he lets his imagination run wild. By the time he grew up, this lowered significantly, though he won't always forget his memories with his old toys.
- Mundane Made Awesome: The opening fantasy sequence in 3, shows him playing with his toys, but now dramatized so we can see exactly what it looks like in his imagination.
- Nice Guy: Was always a friendly, fun-loving kid, but 3 shows he has grown into a pleasant, generous and conscious young man.
- One Last Field Trip: Andy joins Bonnie for one last big play session in one of the most emotional farewells in cinema history.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: He is rarely, if ever, called "Andrew".
- Platonic Declaration of Love: The part of his tearjerking speech to Bonnie at the end of 3 detailing how much Woody means to him.
- Pretty Boy: Andy grew up to become a handsome young man.
- Real Men Wear Pink: He includes some girls' toys in his playtime, such as a Bo Peep nursery lamp and his sister's Barbie's pink Corvette.
- Reluctant Gift: Andy giving away his toys to Bonnie, introducing each and handing them to her. But when he gets to Woody, he grows hesitant and even pulls him back from her outreached hands. He does finally give it to her.
- Security Blanket: Woody (and to a lesser extent, the other toys) serve as this somewhat to Andy.
- Sentimental Shabbiness: As best reflected in the second movie, Woody, as Andy's favorite toy, has seen better days physically. But his worn condition just showcases how much Andy loves him.
- Small Role, Big Impact: As a character, he doesn't have a very large role in any of the films. However, the main characters' entire lives and motivations revolve around him.
- Stealth Pun: The third movie ends with Andy giving away his toys to Bonnie. "From A to B."
- That One Guy: He's the only one of the official human residents of the Davis family's home who is male, at least before he headed off to college by the time Toy Story 3 was released.
- True Companions: During what would turn out to be his goodbye speech to his toys, he describes the toy Woody's unwavering devotion to his friends...and Andy.
- What You Are in the Dark: Bonnie's mother wasn't really paying close attention, and really, no one would have really blamed Andy, if he'd chosen to not hand his favored toy Woody over to Bonnie, a little girl he just met and hardly knows. But his good heart and generous nature nevertheless compels him to gift his treasured friend to her.
- You Don't Look Like You: Andy's face in 3 and 4 looks absolutely nothing like it did in the first two films. Some watching the trailer for “4” thought it would turn out to be his son, but neither Andy nor his family make an appearance bar the prologue.
Mrs. Davis
Mrs. Davis / Jennifer Davis
"What in the world — ? Oh, I thought I told him to pick these up."
Voiced by: Laurie Metcalf, April Winchell (Animated Storybook), Tress MacNeille (Toy Story: On Ice)Other voice actors
Appearances: Toy Story | Toy Story 2 | Toy Story 3 | Toy Story 4
Andy and Molly's single mom.
- Agony of the Feet: In the first movie, when she steps on one of the Army men, causing them to slow down, damaging him in the process and hurting her foot as well.Mrs. Davis: Owww! What in the world-? Oh!
- Almighty Mom: She's very strict and expects her kids to listen to her and pay attention to her sometimes. She doesn't want Andy or Molly leaving toys or other stuff on the floor, as shown when she steps on one of the Army men and kicks them away during Andy's birthday party. She doesn't want Andy to drive until he's 16. She also argues with her children, usually over little things. Some early test animation really shows what an Almighty Mom she is.Mrs. Davis: Owww! What in the world-? Oh! I thought I told him to pick these up.
- Beauty Equals Goodness: She's very kind-hearted, compassionate and very pretty and beautiful in all four movies.
- Boyish Short Hair: Has this in 2 onwards.
- Doting Parent: She deeply loves and dotes on her children, despite her Almighty Mom tendencies.
- Empty Nest: Seeing Andy's empty room on the day of his departure hits her pretty hard.
- Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Since the first movie, Mrs. Davis is a loving yet strict Almighty Mom and Housewife who also likes wearing feminine yet tomboyish clothes, joining her kids in playing and camping. She also has a Tomboyish Voice courtesy of Laurie Metcalf.
- Glamorous Single Mother: Both played straight and averted. She loves being there for her children and also likes their quirks though tends to be an Almighty Mom and a Neat Freak.
- Good Parents: Clearly loves her kids.
- Housewife: Implied to be this, in a traditional yet modern sense.
- Irony: Not necessarily in-franchise, but her original voice actress would later go on and play a psychotic mother of a deluded teenage boy whom she abandoned beforehand, namely in the Scream franchise.
- Jerkass Ball: She grabs it sometimes by being an Almighty Mom who's very strict. For example in the first Toy Story film, she first halts the Green Army Men by coming out of the kitchen and accidentally stepping on one of them, then, very annoyed, sweeps them out of the way, and without knowing that Andy didn't do it.
- Leg Focus: Mrs. Davis is sometimes filmed from the knees down. For example, she halts the Green Army Men by coming out of the kitchen and accidentally stepping on one of them, then, very annoyed, sweeps them out of the way.
- Neat Freak: Has shades of this despite being a loving, motherly, levelheaded and caring mother, as demonstrated in the first and third movies. Some early test animation really shows what a Neat Freak she is.Mrs. Davis: Oww! What in the world-? Oh! I thought I told him to pick these up.
- Neutral Female: She normally doesn't do much as a loving and caring mother, except inadvertently get her son's toys into trouble throughout the movies.
- Nice Girl: She was always a sweet, loving, motherly, kind, levelheaded and caring mother, despite her Almighty Mom and Neat Freak tendencies.
- Noodle Incident: The way she reacts upon stepping on one of the Army men implies that this is not the first time she had walked in on one of their birthday/Christmas recon missions.
- Only Sane Woman: Since the first movie, she's the only adult in the Davis family, and she is very sensible and wise.
- Open-Minded Parent: She mostly tries to be, at least, despite her Almighty Mom tendencies.
- Parental Obliviousness: Downplayed, but neither she nor her children know that toys come to life when no one's around in the first place.
- Pink Means Feminine: Her pink T-shirt at Andy's birthday party in the first movie.
- Progressively Prettier: While never outright ugly, 15 years worth of advancements in CGI did wonders for her.
- Real Women Don't Wear Dresses: She likes wearing feminine yet tomboyish clothes throughout the movies.
- Small Role, Big Impact: Though she doesn't get much screentime in any of her appearances, her actions have major ramifications for each movie's plot.
- Toy Story: She first halts the Green Army Men by coming out of the kitchen and accidentally stepping on one of them, then, very annoyed, sweeps them out of the way. She then buys a Buzz Lightyear toy for Andy and causes a volatile rivalry between Buzz and Woody that results in them getting trapped in Sid's house.
- Toy Story 2: She tries to sell Wheezy at a yard sale and in turn causes Woody to get stolen by Al.
- Toy Story 3: She mistakes Andy's toys for trash and almost gets them crushed, in turn causing them to go to Sunnyside.
- Toy Story 4: She abruptly gave away Bo Peep during the opening, causing heartbreak for Woody and kickstarting Bo Peep's Character Development into an Action Girl.
- Tomboyish Ponytail: In the first movie, she has a low ponytail, since long hair was difficult to animate at the time.
- Tomboyish Voice: Due to Laurie Metcalf voicing her since 1995, she sounds like a deep-sounding mix of a young woman and a young boy.
- Unnamed Parent: Her name is never pronounced, and even Woody refers to her as "Mom". Early character sheets apparently had her named "Jennifer", so that's what a large portion of the fandom calls her.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Mrs. Davis is actually, without meaning to be, a major threat to the toys, as she frequently asks Andy to throw out the toys he no longer wants. Ms. Davis' actions regarding the toys sets the plot in motion in all four films:
- In the first film, she first halts the Green Army Men by coming out of the kitchen and accidentally stepping on one of them, then, very annoyed, sweeps them out of the way. She then purchases a Buzz Lightyear toy for Andy on his birthday, prompting the rivalry between Buzz and Woody. She also leads to both of them being lost and forced to find their way home when she tells Andy he's allowed to bring one toy to Pizza Planet.
- In the second film, Mrs. Davis tries to sell Wheezy at her yard sale, prompting Woody's rescue attempt where he is subsequently stolen by Al.
- In the third film, she orders Andy to clean out his room before going to college and puts the bag of toys Andy was putting in the attic out on the curb as trash by mistake, causing them to be donated to Sunnyside Daycare.
- She even manages to pull off this trope in her brief flashback appearance in Toy Story 4 by abruptly donating Bo Peep.

Voiced by: Hannah Unkrich (Lee's daughter) in Toy Story 2, Beatrice "Bea" Miller in Toy Story 3. note Other voice actors
Appearances: Toy Story | Toy Story 2 | Toy Story 3 | Toy Story 4
Andy's younger sister.
- Annoying Younger Sibling: Played straight in Toy Story 3 when she constantly bugs Andy about wanting his room once he leaves for college, though it is still made obvious that the two love each other a lot.
- Innocently Insensitive: Her lack of interest in her childhood toys as she aged proved quite traumatizing for Barbie in 3, and was upsetting for Bo Peep in 4 as well.
- Satellite Character: Doesn't get a lot of characterization, except for being Andy's younger sister.
- Suddenly Speaking: She speaks for the first time in 3. Justified since she was a baby in the first two.
Phillips Family
Sid
Sidney "Sid" Phillips
Voiced by: Erik Von Detten Other voice actors
Appearances: Toy Story | Toy Story 3
Sid is Andy's polar opposite, and next-door neighbor. As a boy who rips apart and reassembles his toys, if he doesn't decide to just blow them up, he is a primary source of in-universe Nightmare Fuel to Andy's toys.
- Big Bad: The first film’s, though he is likely Obliviously Evil in his treatment of toys unaware they bad feelings.
- Big Brother Bully: To his sister, Hannah. He enjoys taking away her dolls and mutilating them.
- Cheerful Child: Buzz mistakes him for a "happy child" in the first movie. And he does seem pretty cheerful. Just not in a way you would remotely enjoy if you were one of his toys.Mr. Potato Head: That ain't no happy child!
- Classic Villain: Wrath: so much wrath wrapped up in a 12-year-old (?) package. However, he's not torturing the toys knowingly.
- Creepy Child: He has a disturbing enjoyment of torturing or destroying toys as well as tormenting his sister. Despite not knowing toys could feel what he was doing to them the pretend torture and medical experiments didn't indicate anything good about his mindset.
- Dark Is Evil: Wears a black shirt (with a skull on it) and is a rather reckless toy owner. This got shed off as of the third movie, though.
- Dirty Coward: It's implied he enjoys mutilating toys because they are (as far as he knows) inanimate and cannot stop him. However, once they confront him, he freaks out and stops his behavior. It's possible he never would have done this had he known toys were sentient.
- Disproportionate Retribution: He cuts the head off of one of Hannah's dolls and replaces it with a toy pteranodon's head because she doesn't know if his package came in the mail yet when he asked. Though of course, he may have done it for his own amusement.Sid: What do you mean you don't know?!
Hannah: I. Don't. Know! - The Dreaded: All of Andy's toys (as well as the mutant ones in his room) fear him.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: Despite ending the first film seriously traumatized by his experiences it appears the revelation did him good in the long run. Despite his concerning behavior in childhood he grows up to be a happy, good-natured, and largely well adjusted person with a stable job as a sanitation worker that he seems to enjoy.
- Enfant Terrible: He is just a few years older than Andy, but is obnoxious and sadistic. In addition to destroy or mutilating toys he is noticeably cruel to his sister destroying her things regularly.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He does seem to love his dog, Scud.
- Evil Counterpart: To Andy. While Andy is a Nice Guy who takes good care of his toys and treats his sister Molly fairly well, Sid is a maniacal boy who blows up and dismantles toys, and re-constructs them into abominations for his own amusement, and treats his sister Hannah rather poorly.
- For the Evulz: "He tortures toys! JUST FOR FUN!"
- Freak Out: Is reduced into a screaming, neurotic mess after Woody and his toys set him straight, making him the only human in the entire series to witness the toys' sentience. At least it didn't last long.
- Freudian Excuse: Background details indicate that his father is an abusive drunk. His father can be seen asleep at one point surrounded by many beer cans, Scud is terrified of going near the room said father is in, and Sid has a number of locks on his door.
- Gonk: At least, his younger self. The fact that he doesn't look that good pretty much fits his overall character in the first film.
- Happiness in Minimum Wage: In his cameo in the third movie, he's seen working as a garbage collector, and seems to have really taken to it, happily listening to music and singing to himself while he works.
- He Is All Grown Up: That garbage man who rocks out and picks up the trash at and around Andy's house in Toy Story 3? Take a good look at his shirt.
- The Heavy: He is the main antagonist of the first film, though as much of the drama stems from Woody and Buzz’s own vices, he doesn’t qualify as the Big Bad, landing him here.
- Humans Are Cthulhu: This was admitted by Pixar, who essentially said that from a human perspective, Sid is merely a rowdy kid who bullies his sister, but from a living toy perspective, Sid is practically a devil.
- Humans Are the Real Monsters: Because this franchise is primarily about sentient toys (something that Sid wasn't aware of up until later), one could argue that he's basically committing torture on them "just for fun" and doesn't care about their respective conditions.
- Humiliation Conga: In the first film. His mutilated toys and Woody scare the hell out of him by showing him that they are alive all at once, and he runs away. Then he gets scared by Hannah's new doll, and Hannah uses that opportunity to take a small revenge by chasing him with it.
- Intercontinuity Crossover: Appears in Monsters, Inc: Laugh Factory, where he has managed to sneak into the Monster world and use the doors as a means to steal toys from kids to prevent what happened to him from happening to anyone else.
- Jerkass: In addition to torturing toys, he also bullies his sister.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Downplayed, but he does treat his pet dog Scud with respect anytime he interacts with him.
- Kick the Dog: Anytime he destroys a toy but the biggest one would have to be taking Hannah's doll away in order to swap its head with a pterodactyl toy out of spite after she tells him that she doesn't know if his package has arrived in the mail.
- Laughably Evil: Such as when he mutters in his sleep "I wanna ride the pony.."
- Laser-Guided Karma: He gets his comeuppance for torturing his toys when Woody and the mutant toys terrorize him in his backyard just as he's about to blow Buzz up with a firework he taped on his back. And to add insult to injury he gets even more karma when his sister (whom he bullies by destroying her toys) takes advantage of his newfound fear of toys coming alive by shoving her new doll right into his face scaring him even more.
- Leitmotif: Gets a weird marching theme
. - Limited Wardrobe: He's the only human in the entire film who wears the same clothes everyday. He even wears them while sleeping in bed, including his sneakers, without even taking a shower after waking up the next day.
- Mad Artist: He takes toys apart and reassembles them with parts from other toys, making mutants.
- Mad Doctor: Plays at being one attempting a "double bypass brain transplant" when using his sister's doll to create another mutant toy.
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Double Subverted. He gives Woody a match to remind himself to "grill him" later before he is about to ignite the rocket he tied Buzz to. Later, when Woody and Buzz are stuck on the road, Woody takes out the match Sid gave him to light up Buzz's rocket before it is extinguished by a car driving by. When all hope of catching up with Andy seems lost, Woody remembers that he can use Buzz's helmet to concentrate the sunshine on the fuse, the same way Sid did with a magnifying glass to torture Woody.
- Nightmare Fetishist: Considering his actions, he makes the toys he steals from his sister into freaks.
- Not So Above It All: His hobby may be torturing toys, but nothing ever gets between him and his Pop Tarts, and he gets rather giddy when they are done. He also dreams about ponies.
- Obliviously Evil: Since he has no way of knowing the toys are sentient and actually feel what he is doing to them for most of the first film. That being said the way he engages in pretend torture sessions with toys is not a good sign for his mindset in general. He also steals his little sister's toys and ruins them solely to be cruel to her whenever she gets his attention.
- Offscreen Villain Dark Matter: He is able to get his hands on materials that should be illegal for him to be in possession of, such as buying a powerful mini-rocket, apparently by mail-order.
- Pet the Dog:
- He loves his dog Scud very much. He even spends his allowance on a toy for him.
- In the Laugh Factory comics for Monsters, Inc., he steals toys, partly because he wants to make a profit and also because he believes he is saving other kids.
- Pubescent Braces: Sid has visible, gawky braces.
- Real Men Wear Pink: He is violent, wears all black, tortures his toys, and terrorizes his sister, but in his sleep, dreams about "riding the pony". A subversion, because he has plainly not yet learned to embrace that side of himself.
- Red Right Hand: His extremely crooked teeth mark him as a villain.
- Retired Monster: In a sense. By Toy Story 3, he is a grown adult. Specifically a harmless, well adjusted, and seemingly happy garbage man.
- Scare 'Em Straight: Woody and the other toys get Sid to stop torturing them by coming to life all at once and marching towards him while Woody provides ominous commentary, sending Sid away in terror. Afterward, he never harms another toy again eventually growing into an apparently well adjusted adult putting his old somewhat concerning hobbys behind him.
- Skeleton Motif: His T-shirt shows a prominent skull on the chest.
- Starter Villain: Not so much because he's the first villain in the movie series, but because he didn't do as many cruel deeds or have as strong motives as future antagonists would have (including those seen in spinoffs), on account of being Obliviously Evil.
- Stuff Blowing Up: He loves blowing up toys.
- Talking in Your Sleep: "I wanna ride the pony".
- Throw the Dog a Bone: The ending of the first Toy Story movie leaves him utterly traumatized. When he makes a cameo appearance in Toy Story 3, he seems happy and carefree, implying he grew out of his childhood trauma.
- Took a Level in Kindness: By the time of the third film, he's grown into a normal, good-natured person who works a regular job as a sanitation worker that he seems to enjoy.
- Troubled Toybreaker: Sid is a mean boy who likes to destroy toys and put their parts together in order to make scary hybrid toys for his sick amusement, but it's subtly implied that he doesn't have the greatest home life. His dad is seen passed out in front of the TV surrounded by empty beer cans, and Sid's Angry Guard Dog, Scud, is terrified of him, not to mention that Sid has a ton of locks on his door.
- Troubling Unchildlike Behaviour: Cutting up his and his sister's toys, putting them together in odd ways, and pretending to torture them in imaginary scenarios. Ultimately, however, as Toy Story 3 shows, he grew up to be a generally harmless garbage man.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Inverted. He was a seriously creepy destructive kid who you'd be forgiven for thinking would end up an even worse adult. But the third film shows he grew up to be a perfectly normal and cheerful sanitation worker who enjoys his work and whose worst trait is simply being a bit obnoxious.
- Villain Team-Up: Teams up with Waternoose and Randall in the last story of the Laugh Factory comic.
- Villainy-Free Villain: He mangles his sister's dolls but otherwise doesn't really do anything bad. How was he to know that his toys are alive and can feel pain? Though taking his sister's toys and mutilating them without her permission is not particularly nice. Hannah doesn't want a tea party with headless dolls...
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: He has become (a misguided version of) this in the Monsters, Inc. comic, where he has stumbled across the monsters' door technology and uses it to steal toys from other children's bedrooms, in order to save the kids from having the same experience as he did.
Hannah
Hannah Phillips
Voiced by: Sarah Freeman Other voice actors
Appearances: Toy Story
Sid's younger sister. A cute young girl who loves her dolls, although Sid normally ends up mutilating them in one way or another.
- Accidental Hero: When Scud was chasing the Toy frog, accidentally knocking her over; she locks him out of the house, inadvertently allowing Woody and the Mutant Toys to escape to the backyard which Scud would have guarded. It later comes back to bite Woody literally, when he gets Scud's attention during the dash to the moving van.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Do not cross her, or she will shut you out of the house (Scud) or exploit a fear of yours she'd just found out about (Sid).
- Break the Cutie: Sid and Scud have a nasty habit of maiming her toys, much to her dismay and terror.
- Determinator: While she is clearly upset at Sid (and possibly Scud) for maiming her toys, it doesn't stop her from playing with them, even when they have no heads. She even goes the extra mile to dress Buzz as "Mrs. Nesbitt" and play tea party with him, even though he is missing an arm and is not a female doll.
- The Dog Bites Back: Once she sees that Sid now fears toys, she promptly holds one of her dolls up to his face to freak him out and chases him with it.What's wrong, Sid? Don't you wanna play with Sally?
- Girly Girl: She loves surrounding herself with pink and playing with her dolls, and her outfit would've been more feminine if it weren't for the technology limitations of the time.
- Girls Love Stuffed Animals: She loves playing with her dolls.
- Nice Girl: She loves her toys and plays gently with them, and appears to be much friendlier than her brother.
- Pink Means Feminine: She wears a pink shirt and her entire room is pink.
- Pretty Butterfly: Her usual outfit includes a pink shirt with three butterflies.
- Sibling Yin-Yang: With Sid. She doesn't get along with him very well due to the fact that he always steals and destroys her toys.
- Trauma Conga Line: She undergoes one thanks to her brother taking away her toys in order to destroy them for his amusement. Fortunately she gets back him at the end when she finds out that he's afraid of toys coming alive.

Other Appearances: Toy Story Toons | Toy Story of Terror | Toy Story That Time Forgot | Forky Asks a Question
Bonnie is a young girl whose mother works at the Sunnyside Daycare in the third movie. She has a very small role at first, but turns out to be a Chekhov's Gunman.
- All Girls Like Ponies: One of her toys is a stuffed unicorn named Buttercup.
- Break the Cutie: She breaks down crying during her first day in kindergarten, because of her shyness. She also has this reaction when she finds out Forky is gone.
- Character Catchphrase: "Hi toys! (puts her bag in her room) Bye toys!"
- Cheerful Child: Just as Andy was when he was a kid.
- Chekhov's Gunman: She is seen quite earlier in the film, before her eventual role is finally played in the climax.
- Contrasting Replacement Character: To Andy in Toy Story 4. Andy loved Woody more than all the other toys, and even if he neglects him for a while to play with Buzz, he never truly forgot about him, and it turned out Woody was still his favorite at the end. Bonnie plays with all the other toys, while ignoring Woody, and clearly doesn't care about him anymore.
- Creating Life: The fourth film is set off by her making a toy out of a spork, which causes it to come to life and have to adjust to being a toy. A year later she makes a female toy out of a knife and they have Love at First Sight, in basically a happy version of the latter half of the Trope Codifier Frankenstein.
- The Cutie: Whether she is being shy (around adults) or a cheerful Genki Girl (with her toys), she is always adorable.
- Gamer Chick: In Toy Story That Time Forgot, she is shown playing a video game in her friend's house.
- Generation Xerox: She is the Distaff Counterpart version of Andy when he was younger. Andy gives the whole gang of his old toys to her as he is leaving for college, so that they will be able to make another kid happy, and he knows that she will take good care of them, though this was partially orchestrated by Woody.
- Girls Love Stuffed Animals: Just look at the way she treats her toys.
- Innocently Insensitive: In Toy Story 4, it is revealed she doesn't want to play with Woody anymore. She doesn't mean anything malicious by it. She is just a little girl with a short attention span, and Woody wasn't a toy that she would be interested in for long.
- Intergenerational Friendship: With Andy — he is a teenager about to enter his freshman year of college while she is pre-school age. They bond over Andy's toys.
- Junior Counterpart: Like Andy, she has a vivid imagination and takes good care of her toys.
- Meaningful Name:
- "Bonnie" means adorable.
- "Anderson" means "son of Andrew". She inherits Andy's toys, and his role in the series.
- Ms. Imagination: With her toys, another trait she has in common with Andy.
- Nice Girl: Bonnie is caring, kind, imaginative, playful, and sweet.
- Passing the Torch: She becomes the new owner of the eponymous toys at the end of the third film with Andy's blessing.
- Potty Emergency: The first time she brings Woody home, she performs Potty Dance and quickly goes to the bathroom, allowing Woody to converse with her toys.
- Shrinking Violet: Is shy around other people. When playing with her toys, however, she is a borderline Genki Girl.
- Spanner in the Works: Through her eyes, she just found a cowboy doll to take home. Unknowingly, she was taking Woody to toys that knew of Sunnyside and Lotso’s true nature, convincing him to go back.
- Sudden Sequel Heel Syndrome: A very downplayed example. Her neglecting Woody in favor of the other toys in Toy Story 4 greatly contrasts with her attitude towards him in Toy Story 3 where she eagerly take him home after finding him on the sidewalk and is genuinely happy to have him. That being said, she is still a little girl. It is common for little kids to quickly move on from one interest to another. She also has many toys to play with by the fourth film, so naturally this means some toys will not get as much attention from her as others.

- Friend to All Children: Heavily implied, given her job.
- Good Parents: A loving and caring mother to Bonnie.
- Mama Bear: After finding out that Ron had stolen Bonnie's toys to re-sell, she tells him off and then calls the police.
- Nice Girl: She is motherly, sweet, kind, and loving.
- Small Role, Big Impact: She plays a very minor role in the story, but it's thanks to her just happening to be searching for Bonnie in the Caterpillar Room that Woody's able to make a breakout through the cracked door, and in Bonnie's possession where he'd find out the truth about Sunnyside and Lotso. If it weren't for her, Woody would have been unable to escape and he would have been tortured along with the other toys.
- Unnamed Parent: Only goes by "Mrs. Anderson" or "Bonnie's Mom".
Mr. Anderson
Mr. Anderson
Voiced by: Jay Hernandez Other voice actors
Appearances: Toy Story 3 | Toy Story 4
Bonnie's father.
- Ambiguously Brown: He has darker skin compared his wife and daughter, is voiced by an actor of Latino descent, and has a fairly generic surname of "Anderson".
- Angrish: Has this reaction after Jessie pops the tire on the RV.Bonnie's Mom: Okay, Daddy's going to use some words now, so lets go to the park.
- Ascended Extra: He only appears in the background near the end of 3, but is present alongside his family throughout 4.
- Butt-Monkey: A lot of bad things happen to him due to the toys messing up the RV so they can stall the family from leaving as long as Woody and Forky are not back in.
- Good Parents: A loving and caring father to Bonnie.
- Unnamed Parent: Only goes by "Mr. Anderson" or "Bonnie's Dad".
Other Kids
Emily
Emily
Appearances: Toy Story 2
Emily was Jessie's previous owner who was only seen in one flashback. Her outgrowing the doll and throwing it away left a deep emotional scar on Jessie.
- Distaff Counterpart: She is essentially a female Andy. This comes full circle in Toy Story 3.
- Expository Hairstyle Change: Her hair is untied and shorter as she grows into young adult.
- The Faceless: Her face is almost never clearly seen, although it can be glimpsed briefly during "When She Loved Me" as she swings on the tire with Jessie.
- Growing Up Sucks: Not for her, but for Jessie. Emily's growing up resulted in Jessie developing some crippling abandonment issues (and indirectly claustrophobia as well).
- Innocently Insensitive: As she grows older, she forgets about her doll Jessie, unwittingly causing Jessie's trauma and phobia of abandonment.
- Only One Name: We never learn her last name.
- Small Role, Big Impact: Emily only appears in one flashback, but she is the reason Jessie's afraid of being abandoned and small spaces.
- Used to Be a Tomboy: As she grew up, her interests shifted from cowgirls and horses to makeup, boys and dancing.
Daisy
Daisy
Appearances: Toy Story 3
The little girl who previously owned Lotso, Big Baby and Chuckles the Clown.
- Broken Pedestal: Sort of. Became this to Lotso upon discovering that she "replaced" him.
- The Faceless: In the flashback, her face is never fully seen and we only see her from behind.
- Girlish Pigtails: She has blonde pigtails.
- Girls Love Stuffed Animals: According to Chuckles, she loved all her toys deeply, but especially teddy bear Lotso.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: An innocent and sweet little girl with blonde hair and a childlike and unconditional love for her toys. Big Baby still sees her as his "Mama".
- Innocently Insensitive: She had no idea her toys were alive and sentient. After losing Lotso on a trip, her parents bought her a new identical teddy bear and she thought it was the same toy, but the original Lotso mistook it as betrayal.
- Only One Name: We never learn her last name.
- Small Role, Big Impact: We do not know much about her and she only appears in one flashback, but her unintentional impact on Lotso's life and personality is the source of the story's conflict in the third movie.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Lotso became a heartless and cynical tyrant after being abandoned (unintentionally) and then replaced by Daisy. That said, humans do not know toys are sentient and individual, and the fact that Daisy bought another Lotso doll proves how much she actually loved him. Lotso’s Start of Darkness and all his terrible actions were still his own choice.
Mason
Mason
Voiced By: R.C. Cope Other voice actors
Appearances: Toy Story That Time Forgot
A friend of Bonnie Anderson. He is possibly her best friend. His family appears to be rather rich from the state of their house and his multitude of Christmas presents.
- All There in the Manual:
An alternate opening reveals that he is (or was intended to be) Bonnie's cousin. - Nice Guy: Mason is kind, fun-loving, and playful. One would expect a kid with a whole kingdom of toys in one room to be a spoiled rotten little brat. Mason is anything but.
- Spoiled Sweet: Implied. He has a store's worth of toys in one room, and has an expensive-looking TV and video game console, but he's a kind, fun-loving kid with no bratty bone in his body.
Harmony
Harmony
Voiced By: Lila Sage Bromley Other voice actors
Appearances: Toy Story 4
Harmony is the granddaughter of Margaret, the old owner of the Second Chance antique store where Gabby Gabby has been kept. For years, Gabby has held onto a dream that she could become Harmony's toy if she could get a working voicebox.
- Broken Pedestal: Harmony is only briefly intrigued upon hearing Gabby's voice before tossing her aside without a second thought. The poor doll is shattered by her dream being crushed.
- Foreshadowing: When she takes Woody from her grandmother's store, she doesn't show any real concern when she loses him at the park. This hints that she's not interested in toys, or at least older toys. Her calling Gabby an "old doll" before tossing her aside was the final sign she wasn't going to be taking Gabby home.
- Innocently Insensitive: What kid hasn't thrown away a toy they didn't care for and never looked back? She has no idea she destroyed a decades-long dream that was all Gabby was holding onto, not being aware that toys are alive.
- Small Role, Big Impact: She is a minor character, but everything Gabby does is to impress/be loved by Harmony, and it is the source of the story's conflict in the fourth movie, which starts when Gabby kidnaps Forky.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Her making repeat visits to her grandmother's store gave Gabby real hope that she could belong to someone, leading to her villainous actions. And rejecting Gabby in just a few seconds caused her to give up completely.
Rejean
Rejean
Appearances: Toy Story 4
The original owner of Duke Caboom.
- Innocently Insensitive: Discarding Duke Caboom on the very day he received the toy because he could not jump as far as what was advertised made said toy depressed for the rest of his life, but Rejean had no way to know, not being aware that toys are alive.
- Nerd Glasses: A dorky kid who wears large glasses.
- Spoiled Brat: He angrily and immediately throws his toy away because it doesn't quite work the same way it was supposed to in the commercial.
Lost Girl
Lost Girl
Voiced By: Maliah Bargas-Good Other voice actors
Appearances: Toy Story 4
A little girl who briefly appears in the amusement park during the climax.
- Break the Cutie: A little girl crying under a Ferris wheel because she is alone and can't find her parents.
- Good Counterpart: To Harmony, at least from the toys's point of view. Gabby loves Harmony and wants to be adopted by her, but Harmony rejects her. The lost girl connects with Gabby and decides to takes care of her.
- Nice Girl: She seems sweet in the way she bonds with Gabby.
- No Name Given: Her name is never revealed.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: After befriending Gabby, she stops crying and eventually finds her parents.
Other Adults
Al McWhiggin
Al McWhiggin
Voiced by: Wayne Knight Other voice actors
Appearances: Toy Story 2
The owner of the Al's Toy Barn toy store.
- Animal Motif: The chicken. His store is called Al's Toy Barn and the mascot is a giant chicken. He even wears a chicken suit to do his own commercials and constantly makes chicken noises with words like "Buck" and "Cheap". It's these chicken motifs that allow Buzz to identify Woody's kidnapper as Al, and the rest of the toys refer to him as the "Chicken Man."
- Bald of Evil: Well, balding with a combover, but he's still a greedy bastard who steals a priceless toy for his own gain.
- Big Bad Ensemble: One of the two main antagonists of the second film, along with Stinky Pete. He steals Woody and plans to sell him and the other Roundup toys to a museum in Tokyo.
- Break the Haughty: At the end of Toy Story 2, he ends up pathetically weeping on TV after losing the Roundup Gang.
- Child Hater: Despite working at a toy store, he has no qualms about stealing toys not for sale and his penthouse doesn't allow children.
- The Collector: "Kidnaps" Woody to sell him to a museum in Japan. Woody is actually a toy, though.
- Continuity Nod: Over a decade after the events of Toy Story 2, he immediately buys Woody and Jessie on eBid when they were captured by Ron Tompkins in Toy Story of Terror. This man is the living definition of obsessed.
- Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Whereas Sid was a young boy who mutilated toys for his own amusement, Al is an adult man who takes care of the toys he owns, but is perfectly willing to steal them if it means he can add them to his collection or take them to Japan for display. Sid became the antagonist because he wanted to destroy Buzz, while Al becomes the antagonist because he wants to keep Woody in a display case for his entire life, depriving him of human contact. While Sid is curious and hyperactive, Al is materialistic and emotionally repressed.
- Determinator: He has clearly spent years tracking down every piece of merch from Woody’s Roundup he can possibly find, as evidenced by his vast collection in his penthouse. His visit to the Davis’s yard sale also implies he spends much of his time patrolling such sales to find his prizes. The fact that he was able to amass the complete collection of a TV show half a century old is quite impressive. Even ten years after Toy Story 2, he is quick to buy Woody and Jessie online, meaning he likely now scours the Internet nonstop.
- The Dreaded: For Andy's Toys, as they quickly turned off the TV when his commercial is on.
- Drives Like Crazy: The only time we see him drive ("ALL THE WAY TO WORK!"), he crosses a one-way street (briefly going against traffic), nearly hits another car, and double-parks.
- Early-Bird Cameo: A variation; Al's Toy Barn is briefly mentioned in the commercial watched by Buzz in the first movie.
- Evil Is Hammy: He is probably one of, if not THE hammiest villain to come from a Pixar movie.
- Fat Bastard: He has a portly Geek Physique, and even though he has no way of knowing that his theft of Woody was kidnapping from the toys' perspective, it was still a knowing theft from a human perspective, and overall he is an ill-tempered, sleazy, unpleasant man who's verbally abusive to everyone.
- Fat Slob: He is shown to be a lazy couch dweller in his home at night during the scene where Woody sneaks into his penthouse's main room, evidenced by him burping in his sleep and having spent time eating from a bowl of cheese puffs.
- Four Eyes, Zero Soul: Downplayed in that he's more of a petty thief than an actual villain, even though he still has done his own crimes.
- Freudian Excuse: According to a Disney Adventures magazine, he became a toy collector because he was never allowed to play with toys as a child. Not that it really excuses him stealing a toy from Andy's Mom's garage sale, especially since he never even considers if the child (Andy) maybe still wanted to have the toy in the first place.
- Geek Physiques: The "fat" variety: he is a chubby man who has the nerdy profession of collecting children's toys.
- Greed: His main motivation as he'll be paid handsomely for the entire Woody's Roundup collection.
- Green and Mean: His third outfit in the second film consists of a green shirt, and he's a pretty (but, not exactly highily) inconsiderate and greedy toy collector.
- Harmless Villain: The only villain in the movie who poses no threat whatsoever to the toys (especially Woody, whose well-being is in his best interests). Contrast that to Zurg, who shows up to destroy Buzz (but is only armed with balls), and Stinky Pete, who can cut off Woody's arm if he so chooses.
- Hidden Depths:
- After Stinky Pete wakes him up, Al mutters, "no, officer, I swear." This could imply that deep down, he feels guilty about stealing Woody, or at the very least fears that he won't be in the clear forever despite his cocky attitude. This moment may also imply that he may have had a bad encounter with the police before.
- If the Toy Story 2 game is any indication, he's a train enthusiast; he has a model train set in his bedroom and even his bed is built to look like a giant train.
- Ink-Suit Actor: He looks like Wayne Knight with a different hairstyle. In fact the reason he has a goatee was because Wayne Knight happened to be growing one during recording; originally he was designed clean shaven, referenced by Etch's composite sketch of him sans beard.
- Jerkass: He steals Woody from Andy out of his own selfishness. He is also generally abrasive and rude to any other character he interacts with (apart from the potential buyer of his collection, whom he schmoozes), and parks his car directly in front of his apartment complex’s handicap space.
- Large Ham: Especially in his giant chicken persona.
- Laser-Guided Karma: He steals Woody as he is the last valuable piece of the highly sought-after Woody's Roundup collection, which he intends to sell to a Japanese toy museum; With the toys' escape at the airport, Al is forced to return to the States empty-handed with his store being reduced to the dollar variety. He possibly even lost money since it is implied the overnight delivery for all of his goods was expensive.
- Laughably Evil: Not exactly "evil" in the traditional sense, but he is so silly and buffoonish that it is hard not to find him funny and entertaining.
- Lazy Bum: He complains about having to drive from his apartment to Al's Toy Barn and back again, even though it is just across the street.
- Leitmotif: Based on "Arkansas Traveller," which also serves as the background music of his commercials.
- Manchild: He is obsessed with toys into his adulthood, although given his occupation, this is honestly quite understandable.
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Ironically, him stealing Woody from Andy's home is what lead to Jessie's recovery from her personal depression of being left behind by her original owner Emily.
- Obliviously Evil: Like Sid, he is definitely a threat to the toys' perspective, with him taking Woody essentially being kidnapping/abduction, and even though he may not think anything of it at first, realistically, if Andy's mom had found out about him stealing Woody, then he would REALLY be in a LOT more trouble with humans! Stealing Woody is an incredibly immoral action to start, and would also be designated as a misdemeanor or maybe even grand larceny depending on how much Woody would be worth (grand larceny is indeed a felony).
- Pet the Dog: For all intents and purposes, he takes relatively good care of his collection, best shown when he gets a repairman to fix Woody's arm.
- Serious Business: Collecting valuable toys and Woody's Roundup merchandise. When he sees that Woody's arm has fallen off, he panics and calls a professional toy repairman to come fix him. Justified, since he's getting a lot of money for his collection.
- Sherlock Scan: Immediately rattles off Woody's make and manufacture after only a few seconds of turning him over in his hands. Not surprising given his profession.
- Unknown Rival: Inverted. All the toys are against him and his evil plans. Unlike Sid he never finds out toys are alive, so for all he knows his misfortune came from a lousy airport service.
- Unwitting Pawn: Stinky Pete awakes him to prevent Woody's escape.
- Villainy-Free Villain: Well, not entirely, as he steals (or, from the toys’ perspective, kidnaps) Woody, but he doesn't really do anything else immediately villainous. Though he is still quite a rude and greedy prick.
- Villainous Breakdown: After presumably finding out his toys went missing and having his deal cancelled, he is seen breaking down crying on TV.
- Villainous Glutton: He falls asleep with a bowl full of cheese puffs (which fell on the floor at some point, possibly right after he fell asleep).
- Villain Song: "The Collector," from the Toy Story 2 Sing-Along cassette, must be heard to be believed.
Geri
Geri the Repairman
Voiced by: Jonathan Harris Other voice actors
Appearances: Geri's Game | Toy Story 2
A toy cleaner/repairman that Al hires to fix Woody.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: He looks like an old, shaky-handed man at first, and those who've watched Geri's Game will remember him as being rather distinctly eccentric. In truth, his expansive toolbox and skill when repairing Woody show him to be a True Craftsman with an exceptional degree of skill.
- Canon Immigrant: He originally appeared in the short Geri's Game. This is even referenced in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment: one of the drawers of his toolbox is full of chess pieces.
- Characterization Marches On: In his debut short, he was shown as an eccentric old man. In Toy Story 2, he is shown to take his job very seriously.
- Crazy-Prepared: He has absolutely everything he needs in his Repairman Kit, even matching paint colour for Woody's boots. He even has a tiny little chair for toys to sit in!
- Doing It for the Art: An In-Universe example. The creators state that he fixed Woody for free, as he considered working on such a rare toy to be enough of a reward.
- Mr. Fixit: He's shown to be very good at his job, which is good for both Woody's and Al's purposes. Woody seems quite refreshed after Geri finishes up.
- Suddenly Speaking: He didn't say a word (except "uh-uh" and "ah-ha") in the short, mostly just laughed. Here he talks to Al. Justified since he didn't really have anyone to talk to in his first appearance.
- True Craftsman: He takes extreme care when repairing Woody. When Al asks how long it's going to take, Geri replies "You can't rush art!"
Ron Tompkins
Ron Tompkins
Voiced by: Stephen Tobolowsky Other voice actors
Appearances: Toy Story of Terror
Ron Tompkins is the manager of the Sleep Well Motel, and the main villain of the half-hour Halloween TV special Toy Story of Terror!.
- Big Bad: Of Toy Story of Terror!.
- Crime After Crime: Played for laughs. When the police shows up at his motel, he was only facing charges for stealing from his guests. In his panic however, he adds stealing and wrecking a police car, and trying to evade arrest to his list of crimes.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He loves his pet Iguana, Mr. Jones. He even rewards him for fetching and stealing toys to be sold for money.
- Evil Is Hammy: Once he is found out, that is.
- Faux Affably Evil: Acts like a normal motel owner, but he uses Mr. Jones to steal the belongings of his guests so that he can sell them online.
- Four Eyes, Zero Soul: Has glasses and is the Big Bad of the special.
- Greed: How he makes his second living.
- Humiliation Conga: After being found out, the police are called to arrest him. He attempts to distract them and get away in one of their cars, only to crash into the motel sign.
- Jerkass: He steals toys from children, only concerning himself with making money.
- Light Is Not Good: As part of his uniform for his job, he wears a white shirt, but is not necessarily the nicest or the most innocent guy one would ever meet.
- Mirror Character: He's basically a more modernized (considering the presence of the internet in Toy Story of Terror) and slimmer version of Al McWhiggin from Toy Story 2, as both men have not only committed grand larceny, but were also trying to sell the toys they got from others, mainly so that they could earn a substantial amount of money from them.
- Put on a Prison Bus: The special ends with police officers coming to arrest Ron, who had been stealing guests' toys and selling them online. Ron tries to get away on their squad car, but crashes into the motel sign and then runs away, with the implication that he didn't get far.
- Stupid Crooks: He is a motel manager who used his pet iguana to steal toys from kids who stayed at his motel and sell them on the internet. His plan actually worked pretty well, but at the end, Bonnie's mother catches him in the act and reports him to the police. Realistically, he's probably looking at a fine or community service, but when two troopers show up to talk to him, he steals and immediately crashes their squad car while trying to flee, so he's almost certainly looking at a long prison sentence.
Margaret

- Cool Old Lady: She lets her granddaughter play in her antique store.
