Toy Story movie corrections

In the scene where "Legs" lowers the Pez duck named Ducky down through the removed lightbulb hole to ring the doorbell, the lightbulb housing is bigger than the hole but they bring it up through the hole to remove it. See more...

Trivia

After the "Hey Hamm, I'm Picasso" gag, Mr. Potato Head says to a toy hockey puck, "What are you looking at, you hockey puck?" As an insult comic, Don Rickles (who voices Potato Head) was famous for calling people a "hockey puck" in his routines. See more...

Corrections

Just before Sid blows up the Combat Carl figure, he throws a cement block at the figure, just missing it. Then we see him lighting the explosive on Carl and then he blows up. When we cut back to a wide shot of Sid's garden, the block has been moved to the other side of the garden, nowhere near where it landed before Sid lit the explosive. [Because the explosion was strong enough to make some debris hit the upstairs window where the toys were watching, it would have moved the brick (which was a lot closer).]

Seeing as Buzz is unaware he is a toy, what exactly does he do when Andy plays with him? Would he not interact with him entirely the same way he does with his other toys when he first meets them [He thinks Andy is the leader of this "tribe". All the other toys allow Andy to play with them, so Buzz does too. When in Rome...]

In the scene where Sid is building the launching pad, and Woody and the other toys all emerge from the garden to scare him, all the toys shadows are almost directly underneath them, something that occurs when the sun is at its highest point, noon . However, Sid set his alarm to get him up at 7am, and its doubtful it would have taken him long to get everything ready. The shadows should have been much longer that early in the morning. [The moving truck arrives just at 7am. When Sid is ready to 'launch' the rocket & Buzz the fully loaded truck is ready to go, (we see the last boxes being moved out of Andy's room then Andy & his mom drive off). So several hours must have passed from 7am until the scene with the toys in Sid's backyard.]

Near the end of the movie, when Buzz and Woody are trying to catch the moving van, Woody is hanging from the rope trying to climb up when Scud grabs on to him. How is it possible that that little dog with the short legs could possibly keep up with the fast-moving truck? [That dog was some type of Dachshund. Dachshunds are very quick. Just like humans, the size of the dog is not pertinent to how fast they can run. Since the truck was in a neighborhood area the most it could have been going was 30 miles per hour. It's perfectly possible for the dog to have kept up with the truck.]

In the scene when Buzz and Woody are at the gas station, Buzz looks up at the moon and talks about Zurg. The reflection of the moon is backwards on his helmet. [Aren't reflections supposed to be backwards?]

When the duo is over at Sid's house, and when they are in his bedroom, the kid burns Woody's forehead, causing his forehead to smoke. When Sid leaves, Woody rushes over and dunks his head into this bowl of half-eaten Fruit Loops. Why was there no milk dripping from his face?. [The Fruit Loops have been there for quite some time and have absorbed the milk, hence the noise made by Woody's head when he dunks it in.]

If Buzz thinks he can fly why does he just let himself fall out the window? Wouldn't he at least try to fly? [Because Buzz was hit by the lamp, which could have caught him off guard. He could've panicked whilst falling from the window, and forgotten that he could fly.]

In the beginning of the movie, Andy puts Potato Head in Molly's crib. She pounds him against the railing, knocking all of his pieces off. Later, when Andy and his friends are coming up to the room, Potato Head is panicking because he can't find his ear but the last time Andy saw him, he didn't have any of his pieces on so why would he be worried about it? Shouldn't the toys be trying to look like and be placed where they last were when Andy was there? [Andy picks up his sister, and doesn't seem to notice Mr. Potato's head on the ground. Generally if a toy falls, a child won't bother to touch it until they want to play with that item.]

Time

Woody and Buzz are at Sid's window. Woody is trying to convince the other toys that he and Buzz are friends. Woody is holding Buzz's arm that fell off and swinging it around. But the arm changes from the left hand to the right hand. [Actually, it is always his left arm, it never changes.]

When Sid straps the rocket to Buzz and sets him down on the table, and then sets the alarm clock next to him, we can see a piece of black tape go right across Buzz's chest. Yet for the rest of the film, the tape that ties the rocket to Buzz is only on his back, none of it goes right the way around him. [I watched the movie and checked. In every shot you see Buzz from the front, he has a piece of tape on his chest. There is a break as it's the ends of two separate pieces. But it stayed the same as soon as Sid put it on.]

Why is the Baby Monitor, used to hear what is going on in the baby's room, not in the mom's room? [It is used for the soldiers' mission and the toys probably took it from the mom's room when nobody was around.]

At the gas station when Woody is almost run over by the semi you can see the wheel stop just before him. Unfortunately, that's the rear wheel and you can see the front one on the left. So Woody was, in fact, run over by the truck. [If the truck was turning as it pulled into the gas station, it is possible that Woody escaped being run over as the front wheels would have missed him.]

Time

Woody and Buzz are trapped in the "Claw Machine" with all the alien toys. The "Claw" is being controlled by Sid. Now, ANYONE who has EVER played with one of those things, knows that those claws can only lift a certain amount of weight. They are definitely not strong enough to lift a Buzz Lightyear and Woody toy. Especially, when Woody had put all of his strength into pulling Buzz out of the Claw's grips. [Unless you've played THAT claw machine, you can't really make a judgment. I agree that the claws on those things usually are weak, but if Sid could do it...]

Time

When the soldiers bring the baby monitors downstairs there is a cord in their hands, but in the next scene it's gone. [Wasn't that the skipping rope? They probably discarded it when they didn't need it anymore.]

If Buzz doesn't know that he is a toy, then why does he freeze so that people won't find out that he is alive? [Around certain larger, stronger creatures (for example, a Bear), its recommended humans play dead so that the bear looses interest. This may be the tactic Star Command gives Buzz Lightyear - around larger, visibly stronger creatures, play dead so they will hopefully lose interest.]

When Woody tells the toys not to be worried about being replaced, Potato Head says, "Of course Woody ain't worried. He's been Andy's favorite since kindergarten," implying that it's been quite a while since the kid's been a kindergartner. Andy is only six years old. Just how much of a genius is this kid? [For a toy, two years could be along time. The phrase, "He's been Andy's favorite for a year and a half," although not as poetic, has the same meaning.]

In the scene at the petrol station, Woody and Buzz get onto the Pizza Planet delivery truck in order to get to where Andy is. The driver has quite a few pizzas stacked up next to him in the front seat, yet you never see him deliver them. He even says something like 'Dude, hurry up, the pizzas are getting cold,' but then he drives straight back to Pizza Planet (the place where he's come from). [There is no indication that he drove back to the restaurant right away. He could've delivered the pizzas and then drove back.]

In the beginning when Andy goes to get his sister from her crib, there is a sign on the door when he walks in the room. When they leave, the sign is gone. [The first shot shows 2 doors; the bedroom door and closet door. The sign is on the bedroom door not the closet door. The next shot shows the closet door only, which does not have a sign.]

Time

Near the end of the movie, Buzz and Woody are riding RC. Woody and Buzz take turns controlling RC with his controller. How come in the beginning of the movie, RC can move freely around Andy's room with no one controlling him but he can't steer himself at the end when they are trying to catch up with the moving truck? [Actually, in the movie RC can move by control or by himself. They did this in the movie to add a degree of difficulty to the scene.]

When Buzz and Woody are on the top of the stairs, trying to escape from Sid's house, Woody's pull string gets caught on one of the banister spindles. The next shot shows him stuck on a different one. [No, it's always on the one next to the wall that curls away from it.]
