Quotes Stinky Pete the Prospector: How long will it last, Woody? Do you really think Andy is going to take you to college, or on his honeymoon? Andy`s growing up, and there`s nothing you can do about it. It`s your choice, Woody. You can go back, or you can stay with us and last forever. You`ll be adored by children for generations.
Woody: [pets Bullseye the Horse, then suddenly decides to stay] Who am I to break up the Roundup Gang? Barbie: And this is the Buzz Lightyear aisle. Back in 1995, short-sighted retailers did not order enough dolls to meet demand. Slinky Dog: I may not be a smart dog, but I know what roadkill is. Mrs. Potato Head: [to Mr. Potato Head] I`m packing your extra pair of shoes, and your angry eyes just in case. Jessie: You never forget kids like Emily, or Andy, but they forget you. Woody: Look Jessie, I know you hate me for leaving, but I have to go back. I`m still Andy`s toy. Well, if you knew him, you`d understand. See, Andy`s...
Jessie: Let me guess. Andy`s a real special kid, and to him, you`re his buddy, his best friend, and when Andy plays with you it`s like... even though you`re not moving, you feel like you`re alive, because that`s how he sees you.
Woody: How did you know that?
Jessie: Because Emily was just the same. She was my whole world. Buzz Lightyear: I`ll never give in. You killed my father!
Emperor Zurg: No, Buzz. I *am* your father!
Buzz Lightyear: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Rex: I can`t look. Could somebody please cover my eyes? Emperor Zurg: So, we meet again Buzz Lightyear, for the last time!
Buzz Lightyear: Not today, Zurg! [Channel-surfing]
Rex: Go back, go back, you missed it.
Hamm: Too late, I`m already on the 40`s, gotta go around the horn, it`s faster. Buzz Lightyear: Don`t worry, Woody. In just a few hours you`ll be sitting around a campfire with Andy making delicious hot Schmoes.
Woody: [lamely] They`re called "S`mores", Buzz.
Buzz Lightyear: Yes, yes. Of course. [Woody`s arm is torn]
Andy`s Mom: I`m sorry, honey, but you know... toys don`t last forever. Bo Peep: [amorously] You`re cute when you care.
Woody: [embarrassed] Bo. Not in front of Buzz. Wheezy: What`s the point of prolonging the inevitable? We`re all just one stitch away from here...
[points to yard sale]
Wheezy: ...to there. Rex: What happened?
Mr. Potato Head: Woody`s been "shelved". Bo Peep: This is for Woody, when you find him.
[She gives Buzz a long kiss]
Buzz Lightyear: [cough] Um, okay, but it won`t be the same coming from me. Rex: [gasps] What`re we gonna do, Buzz?
Buzz Lightyear: Use your head!
[the toys use Rex as a battering ram in the next shot]
Rex: But I don`t wanna use my head!
Ham: Excuse me, ladies, but could any of you tell us where we might the Al of Al`s Toy Barn?
Tour guide Barbie: I can help!
[slides down the slide and into the toy car]
Tour guide Barbie: I`m Tour Guide Barbie. Please keep your hands, arms, and accessories in the car, and no flash photogtaphy. Thank you.
Mr. Potato Head: I`m a married spud, I`m a married spud...
Ham: Then make way for the single fellas. Woody: Ride like the wind, Bullseye. [On "Woody`s Roundup" TV show, Jessie`s animal friends run to Woody to come to her rescue]
Rabbit: [incoherent chatter]
Woody: What`s that? Jessie and Prospector are trapped in the old abandoned mine and Prospector just lit a stick of dynamite thinking it was a candle and now they`re about to be blown to smithereens?
Rabbit: Uh huh.
Woody: Ride like the wind, Bullseye. [right when the Prospector is out of his box, and is tightening the screw back onto the heat duct]
Jessie: Prospector?`!
Woody: You`re outta your box!
Stinky Pete the Prospector: I tried reasoning with you, Woody, but you keep forcing me to take extreme measures. Woody: [yelling through the heat duct] Help! Buzz! Guys!
Stinky Pete the Prospector: It`s too late, Woody! That silly Buzz Lightweight can`t help you.
Woody: His name is Buzz Lightyear!
Stinky Pete the Prospector: Whatever. I`ve always hated those upstart space toys.
[Woody`s arm is ripped by the Prospector]
Stinky Pete the Prospector: It`s your choice, Woody. Either you can go to Japan together or in pieces. He fixed you once, he can fix you again. Now get in the box. Mr. Potato Head: Prepare to meet
[shouts]
Mr. Potato Head: Mr Angry Eyes! Argh argh!
[he accidentally sticks his extra pair of shoes on his face and runs into a wall] [Woody explains his newfound past to his old friends]
Woody: Oh, you should have seen it. There was a record player. And a yo-yo. Buzz, I was a yo-yo.
Mr. Potato Head: [to Hamm] WAS? Woody: I was a yo-yo!
Mr. Potato Head: *Was* a yo-yo? Al McWiggin: To overnight, 6 packages to Japan is how much? What? That`s in yen, right? DOLLARS?`! Oh, you are deliberately takin` advantage of people in a hurry! You know that?`!
Hamm: Where did you get the cool belt, Buzz?
Buzz Lightyear #2: Well, slotted pig, these are standard issue. [Buzz is driving a pizza truck; Hamm is reading the owner`s manual]
Ham: I seriously doubt he`s getting this kind of mileage. [Potato Head has saved some alien toys]
Alien toys: You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful.
Mr. Potato Head: Will you just leave me alone? Mr. Potato Head: Can we stop? My parts are killing me.
Buzz Lightyear: How about a quick roll call? Everybody here?
Mr. Potato Head: Not everybody.
Buzz Lightyear: Who`s behind?
Slinky Dog: Mine...
[Slinky Dog`s back half catches up with the group] [the toys are trying to enter an apartment building]
Mr. Potato Head: I say we stack ourselves up, push the intercom and pretend we`re delivering a pizza.
Hamm: How about a ham sandwich? With fries and a hotdog?
Rex: What about me?
Hamm: Ah, you can be the toy that comes with the meal. Hamm: You heard of Kung Fu? Well prepare yourself for pork chop. Buster the dog is barking and trying to leave Andy`s room]
Slinky: Ah, this fella says he needs to go out back for a little private time? [to Jessie]
Buzz Lightyear: Uh, ma - ma`am? I, uh, um, well, I just wanted to say you`re a bright young woman with a beautiful yarn full of hair. A hair full of yarn. It`s ah... um... I must go. Buzz Lightyear: Tell me I wasn`t this deluded.
Buzz Lightyear #2: No back talk. Buzz Lightyear #2: Has your mind been melted? You could have killed me, Space Ranger. Or should I say "traitor."
Buzz Lightyear: I don`t have time for this. Rex: How do you spell FBI? Slinky Dog: We`ve been down this aisle already.
Mr. Potato Head: We haven`t been down this aisle, it`s pink.
Slinky Dog: Face it, we`re lost. Barbie: You`ll love Amy, she`s an artist. Buzz Lightyear: To Al`s Toy Barn... and beyond. [Hamm`s cork has popped out and there is change all over the sidewalk]
Hamm: All right, nobody look till I get my cork back in.
Al McWiggin: So, uh, how long is this gonna take?
Geri the Cleaner: Ya can`t rush art. Slinky Dog: How are we going to get up there?
Rex: Maybe if we found some balloons, we could float to the top. Hamm: Turn into the spin, Barbie! [in "Woody`s Roundup" Jessie is trying to extinguish a dynamite fuse]
Stinky Pete the Prospector: You`re just fannin` the flames, Jessie. It takes brains to put out that fire.
[sits on the fuse, then jumps right back up]
Stinky Pete the Prospector: Yeow! My biscuits are burning! Slinky Dog: Buzz, Buzz! My backend`s going to Baton Rouge! Jessie: You callin` me a liar?
Woody: Well, if the boot fits.
Jessie: Say that again.
Woody: [slowly] If the boot-tah fits. Rex: Buzz, you could have defeated Zurg all along! You just got to believe in yourself!
Emperor Zurg: Prepare to die.
Rex: Aah! I can`t look!
[as Rex turns he knocks Zurg down the elevator shaft with his tail]
Emperor Zurg: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Rex: I did it! I finally defeated Zurg!
Buzz Lightyear #2: [forlornly reaching down at the abyss] Father. Alien toys: You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful.
Mrs. Potato Head: You saved their lives? My hero! They`re so adorable. Let`s adopt them!
Alien toys: [Gathering around Mr. Potato Head] Daddy! Buzz Lightyear #2: Will somebody *please* explain what`s going on?
Buzz Lightyear: It`s all right, Space Ranger. It`s a code 546.
Buzz Lightyear #2: [gasps] You mean it`s a...?
Buzz Lightyear: Yes.
Buzz Lightyear #2: And he`s a...?
Buzz Lightyear: Oh, yeah.
[Buzz #2 runs over to Woody and gets down on his knees]
Buzz Lightyear #2: Your Majesty. Stinky Pete the Prospector: Idiots! Children destroy toys. You`ll be ruined, forgotten, spending eternity rotting on some landfill.
Woody: Well, Stinky Pete, I think it`s time you learned the true meaning of playtime. Woody: You really ARE Stinky Pete, aren`t you?
Jessie: Prospector, this isn`t fair!
Stinky Pete the Prospector: Fair?`! I`ll tell you what`s not fair: Spending a lifetime on a dime-store shelf watching every other toy be sold! Well, finally my waiting has paid off, and no hand-me-down cowboy doll is gonna mess it up for me now! Slinky Dog: [the toys are climbing up an elevator shaft. Some coins fall out of Hamm`s stomach opening and hit Slinky in the face] Pork bellies are falling. Buzz Lightyear: [looking at another toy of himself] Am I really that fat? Barbie: Remain seated please.
[repeats in Spanish] Rex: Guys, we can`t park here. It`s a white zone. Woody: I have no choice, Buzz. This is my only chance.
Buzz Lightyear: To do what? Watch kids from behind glass and never be loved again? Some life. Woody: Here`s your list of things to do while I`m gone: batteries need to be changed. Toys at the bottom of the chest need to be rotated. Oh, and make sure everyone attends Mr. Spell`s seminar on what to do if you or part of you is swallowed. Okay? Okay, good, okay. Rex: It`s the chicken man!
Buzz Lightyear: That`s our guy!
Hamm: I knew there was somethin` I didn`t like about that chicken. Slinky Dog: Pardon me, gentlemen, but have either of you seen a cowboy doll with a bad arm?
Blue Rock`em Sock`em Robot: Why, no. I haven`t.
Red Rock`em Sock`em Robot: Hey! He was talkin` to me!
Blue Rock`em Sock`em Robot: No! He was talkin` to me!
Red Rock`em Sock`em Robot: Why, you! I`ll...!
[they both fight until the red robot`s head pops up] Buzz Lightyear: Woody once risked his life to save mine, and I couldn`t call myself his friend if I wasn`t willing to do the same. Now who`s with me? Woody: [Woody`s arm finally rips completely off] Aaaahhh! It`s gone! I can`t believe it! My arm is completely gone!
Stinky Pete the Prospector: All right. Come here. Come on. Let me see that. Oh, it`s just a popped seam. Easily repaired! You should consider yourself lucky.
Woody: Lucky?`! Are you shrink-wrapped?`! I am missing my ARM!
Jessie: Big deal!
[shoots a plunger onto a cardboard display of Woody]
Jessie: Let him go! I`m sure his precious Andy is dying to play with a one-armed cowboy doll.
Stinky Pete the Prospector: Now, Jessie, you know that he wouldn`t last an hour on the streets in his condition. It`s a dangerous world out there for a toy. [In the beginning of the movie, Rex just lost a Buzz Lightyear vs. Emperor Zurg game, right when nearly winning]
Rex: No, no. No, no, no, no. I`m never gonna defeat Zurg.
Buzz Lightyear: Sure you will, Rex. In fact, you`re a better Buzz than I am.
Rex: But look at my little arms. I can`t press the fire button, and jump at the same time.
[gestures those buttons] [Woody goes to the yard sale]
Mr. Potato Head: Where is he going! He`s nuts!
Slinky Dog: His arm ain`t that bad.
Rex: Don`t do it Woody! We love you! Woody: Hey, w-wait, What happened? What happens next? Come on, let`s see the next episode!
Stinky Pete the Prospector: That`s it.
Woody: What?
Stinky Pete the Prospector: The show was cancelled after that.
Woody: Wait, wait, wait. What about the gold mine and... and the cute little critters and the dynamite? That was a great show! I mean, why cancel it?
Stinky Pete the Prospector: Two words: Sput-nik. Once the astronauts went up, children only wanted to play with space toys.
Woody: I know how that feels. Hamm: All right, let`s review this one more time. At precisely 8:32-ish, Exhibit A, Woody, was kidnapped. Exhibit B, a composide sketch of the kidnapper.
[Etch-A-Sketch draws Al with a long beard]
Bo Peep: He didn`t have a beard like that.
Hamm: Fine. Etch, give him a shave.
[Etch-A-Sketch redraws Al without a beard]
Slinky Dog: The kidnapper was bigger than that.
Hamm: Oh, picky, picky, picky. Buzz Lightyear: Good work, men. Two blocks down and only nineteen more to go.
Mr. Potato Head: What?
Rex, Hamm, Slinky Dog: Nineteen?
Mr. Potato Head: Are we gonna do this all night? My parts are killing me.
Buzz Lightyear: Come on, fellas. Did Woody give up when Sid had me strapped to a rocket?
Rex, Hamm, Mr. Potato Head, Slinky Dog: No.
Buzz Lightyear: No. And did he give up when you threw him out of the back of that moving van?
Mr. Potato Head: Oh, you had to bring *that* up!
Buzz Lightyear: No, he didn`t! We have a friend in need, and we`re not going to rest until he`s safe in Andy`s room! Now, let`s move out!
Buzz Lightyear: Buzz, are you coming?
Buzz Lightyear #2: No, I... I have a lot of catching up to do with my dad.
[Buzz throws the ball back to Zurg; it hits him on the head]
Emperor Zurg: Good throw, son. That`s my boy! Go long, Buzzy!
[throws Buzz another ball]
Buzz Lightyear #2: Oh, you`re a great dad. Yippee!
Buzz Lightyear: Farewell! Buzz Lightyear #2: [thinks the approaching elevator is walls closing in] Quick! Help me prop up Vegetable Man, or we`re done for! Andy: You must choose, Sheriff Woody. How shall she die? Shark, or death by monkeys? Woody: I know! It`s okay, Buzz. I actually want to go.
Mr. Potato Head: What? Are you crazy?
Woody: Look, the thing is, I`m this rare "Sheriff Woody" doll, and these guys, are my - round-up gang.
Buzz Lightyear: Woody, what are you talking about?
Woody: What am I talking about? "Woody`s Round-Up"! Oh, it`s this great old T.V. show, and I was the star.
[turns on T.V. and "Woody`s Round-Up" video starts playing]
Woody: See, look, that`s me!
Hamm: This is weirdin` me out. Alien toys: Ooooh! Strangers! From the outside!
Buzz Lightyear: [groans] Oh, no! [last spoken lines]
Buzz Lightyear: You still worried?
Woody: About Andy? Nah, it will be fun while it lasts.
Buzz Lightyear: I`m proud of you cowboy.
Woody: Besides, when it all ends ill have old Buzz Lightyear to keep me company. For infinity and beyond. Woody: Your right, Prospector. I can`t stop Andy from growing up... but I wouldn`t miss it for the world. Buzz Lightyear #2: Hang tight everyone, I`m going to let go of the wall.
[they all look up at him shocked]
Slinky Dog: Huh?
Rex: What?
Mr. Potato Head: He wouldn`t!
Buzz Lightyear #2: 1
Hamm: He would.
Buzz Lightyear #2: 2
Mr. Potato Head, Slinky Dog, Hamm, Rex: DON`T DO IT BUZZ!
Buzz Lightyear #2: 3
[he lets go of the wall and they all land on the elevator]
Buzz Lightyear #2: To infinity and beyond! Approaching destination. Reengaging gravity.
[gets off the elevator into the vent]
Buzz Lightyear #2: Area secure.
[all moaning]
Buzz Lightyear #2: It`s OK troops, the antigravity sickness will wear off momentarily. Now let`s move!
Mr. Potato Head: Remind me to glue his helmet shut when we get back. Woody: Jessie, let go of the plane!
Jessie: What? Are you crazy?
Woody: Just pretend it`s the final episode of Woody`s Roundup.
Jessie: But it was cancelled! We never saw if you made it!
Woody: Well, then, let`s find out together!
Jessie: That was definitely Woody`s finest hour! [in the airplane`s cargo hold, Woody finds Jessie rolled up in a corner of the green case]
Woody: [deep voice] Excuse me, ma`am, but I believe you`re on the wrong flight. [Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and Bullseye are celebrating their escape when another plane comes in only a few inches over them]
Woody: Let`s... go home. Rex: [as Al drives off] How are we going to get him now?
Mr. Potato Head: Pizza, anyone?
[camera pans to reveal the Pizza Planet delivery truck] [first lines]
Buzz Lightyear: [landing on Zurg`s planet] Buzz Lightyear to mission log: All signs point to this planet as location of Zurg`s fortress, but there seems to be no signs of intelligent life anywhere... [Buzz #2 and the other toys tries to get Woody back home]
Buzz Lightyear: Hold it right there!
All: Buzz?
Buzz Lightyear #2: You again?
Buzz Lightyear: Woody! Thank goodness you`re all right.
Woody: Buzz, what is going on?
Buzz Lightyear #2: [throws Woody onto the floor] Hold on! I am Buzz Lightyear, and I`m in charge of this detachment.
Buzz Lightyear: No, *I`m* Buzz Lightyear.
Buzz Lightyear #2: [arguing with Buzz #1] *I`m* Buzz Lightyear!
Buzz Lightyear: *I* am Buzz Lightyear!
Woody: So, who`s the *real* Buzz?
Two Buzzes: I am!
Buzz Lightyear #2: Don`t let this imposter fool you! He`s been trained by Zurg himself to mimic my every move. Buzz Lightyear: Woody, stop this nonsense and let`s go.
Woody: Nah, Buzz.
[sigh]
Woody: I can`t go. I can`t abandon these guys. They need me to get into this museum. Without me, they`ll go back into storage. Maybe forever.
Buzz Lightyear: Woody, you`re not a collector`s item, you`re a child`s plaything. You are a *toy*!
Woody: For how much longer? One more rip, and Andy`s done with me. And what do I do then, Buzz? Huh? You tell me.
Buzz Lightyear: Somewhere in that pad of stuffing is a toy who taught me that life`s only worth living if you`re being loved by a kid. And I traveled all this way to rescue that toy because I believed him.
Woody: Well, you wasted your time. Emperor Zurg: [referring to Buzz as he pulls back on a lever] Come to me, my prey... Buzz Lightyear #2: Oh no, the walls are closing in!
[grabs Mr. Potato head and mounts him aganist the celing of the vent]
Buzz Lightyear #2: Quick, help me prop up Vegetable man here or we`re done for! Woody: [after dealing with Prospector] I think it`s time that Prospector learned something called playtime.
[points to something off screen]
Woody: Right over there guys!
Stinky Pete the Prospector: No, no, No!
[we see a barbie back pack come out and with the prospector sitting in the netting in front. A little girl grabs and puts her Barbie doll in whose head is facing to the left of the screen]
Barbie: Hi, you`ll like Amy.
[Turns her face to reveal a bunch of make up on her cheek]
Barbie: She`s an artist! [In Woody`s dream, Andy came home from the cowboy camp. Woody then yells at the other toys that Andy`s back. The toys ran back to their places. Andy ran up to his bedroom, riding on his stick with a horse head on. He then sees Woody]
Andy: Hey, Woody! Did you miss me?
[Takes Woody and plays with him]
Andy: Giddyup, giddyup, giddyup, ridin` cowboy!
[notices Woody`s broken arm]
Andy: [depressed] Oh, I forgot, you`re broken. I won`t even play with you anymore.
[In slow motion, Andy drops Woody on the cards. Woody fell through the cards and into the trash can. Woody then got scared in the trash can and the arms and hands reaches out to grab him. Woody then wails for Andy]
Woody: No, no, no, no, no!
[the silhouette of Andy came and looks at Woody]
Andy: [echo] Byyyyyyyyyyyyyye, Woodyyyyyyyyy.
Woody: No, no! ANDY!
[Andy closes lid and Woody`s nightmare ends. Woody wakes up, screaming, and sees his broken arm tangled around his neck] Geri the Cleaner: [standing outside to door of Al McWiggan`s apartment] Is the specimen ready for cleaning? Mr. Potato Head: Oh let`s just go straight to Exhibit F - the kidnapper`s vehicle was seen fleeing in this direction
[pushes the car left]
Hamm: Oh, your parts are in backwards, it`s this way!
[pushes the toy car right]
Mr. Potato Head: Hey, put a cork in it!
Rex: [walks over, knocking things everywhere] Hey, how do you spell F-B-I?
Hamm: My crime scene!
[they all start to bicker]
Buzz Lightyear: Excuse me, excuse me! A little quiet please!Trivia The dust in the scene where Woody meets Wheezy set a record for number of particles animated for a movie by computer.
The settings on Zurg`s gun are numbered to eleven, a reference to Nigel Tufnel`s amplifier in This Is Spinal Tap (1984). # In the opening sequence, when Buzz is on an alien planet, and ultimately battles the Emperor Zurg, many of the sound effects are directly from the Star Wars trilogy, including lightsaber sound effects, the torture droid`s hum, and the scraping metal noise the AT-AT`s make as they lumber across the plains of Hoth in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980). The truck that Buzz and the rest of his pals drive when going to rescue Woody is the same pizza delivery truck that Buzz and Woody climb into at the gas station in Toy Story (1995). See also: A Bug`s Life (1998). Various scenes are reprised with a twist from Toy Story (1995). For example, when Jesse fights Woody, she has him on the ground, foot on his back, pulling his arms back - exactly the same position Buzz Lightyear had him in the gas station. Buzz Lightyear also yells "You are a TOY!" to Woody, as Woody had yelled to Buzz in the previous film. As well as the scene where Zurg and Buzz (2) are fighting on top of the elevator. As Buzz`s talk button is repeatedly hit it skips the message "Buzz... Buzz... Buzz Lightyear to the rescue." This occurred in the fight between Woody and Buzz underneath the car at the gas station. There is A Bug`s Life (1998) calendar hanging in Andy`s room. The storybook Mrs. Potato Head reads to the Little Tykes is A Bug`s Life (1998). Heimlich the caterpillar from A Bug`s Life (1998) can be seen crawling up a branch right before Buzz cuts through it. There are A Bug`s Life (1998) toys on display in Al`s Toy Barn. Slinky`s line, "I may not be a smart dog, but I know what road kill is" is a reference to Forrest Gump (1994), which starred Tom Hanks, the voice of Woody.
In Jessie`s song "When She Loved Me" the tree with the tire that they swing on, is the same tree that tops Ant Island in A Bug`s Life (1998). After Rex jumps out of the car in Al`s Toy Barn to chase after the Zurg help book, he runs to catch the car. Mr. Potato Head views him in the review mirror - a reference to Jurassic Park (1993) when the T-Rex chases the crew in the jeep. The partially missing ear on the Rock-em-Sock-em Robot is a reference to the notorious Mike Tyson - Evander Holyfield match, in which Tyson bit off a piece of Holyfield`s ear. #
# Before Andy leaves for Cowboy Camp, his shirt and hat bear the logo of the "Triple R" Ranch. This was the name of the ranch from the "Spin and Marty" cowboy TV series on the original "The Mickey Mouse Club" (1955). "The Cleaner", the old man who restored Woody, is featured as a chess player in the Pixar short feature Geri`s Game (1997). As he opens the drawers of his chest looking for his glasses, the middle drawer contains chess pieces. During the opening credits, the Pixar trademark lamp can be seen in the stars in the upper right side of the screen. #
# When the toys are planning the rescue of Woody, Etch-a-Sketch shows a map to Al`s Toy Barn located at 1001 West Cutting Boulevard. This is the address of Pixar Animation Studios in Richmond, California. In the airport, an announcement is made for Lasset Air, Flight A113. That`s two references in one: to director John Lasseter, and to room 113 at Cal Arts College, famous its alumna, including many Pixar animators. A113 is also Andy`s Mum`s license plate number. In the scene where Hamm is flipping rapidly through television channels looking for the Al`s Toy Barn commercial, many of the images seen briefly on the TV are previous Pixar projects, including Tin Toy (1988). The Life Magazine issue with Woody and Bullseye on the cover is dated January 12th, 1957. This is director John Lasseter`s birthday. (See also "goofs" section.) When the toys are entering the airport an announcement for "Leon Rich" can be heard. This is in reference to Lee Unkrich who added story material, his voice, and co-direction to the movie. The box that Zurg comes out of in Al`s Toy Barn has "Printed in Point Richmond" written on it. Pixar`s offices were in Point Richmond in Richmond, California when the movie was made. This was the first sequel for Tom Hanks and Tim Allen. Originally intended as a direct-to-video release, but the early test scenes played so well that Pixar started over and redeveloped it into a theatrical release movie. #
# When Al hangs up the phone with the Japanese investor, he says "Don`t touch my mustache." This refers to an English mnemonic for the Japanese phrase meaning "You`re welcome": "Dou itashimashite." Barbie`s dance steps were based on Ann-Margret`s moves in Viva Las Vegas (1964). The background for Zurg`s planet is exactly the same as the dry riverbed in A Bug`s Life (1998), except with different shading and some floating rocks. The baggage handler at the airport who shouts "Hold it! There`s a couple more bags coming from the terminal!" is the voice of UK television personality Andi Peters. When filming a documentary on the making of Toy Story 2, he was offered this one small line in the film by John Lasseter himself. The recording almost didn`t happen because Andi Peters did not have a US work permit, but was allowed to record the dialogue from a London studio, supervised by John Lasseter via satellite. The Life Magazine issue with Woody and Bullseye on the cover says "Doctors Say Americans Don`t Eat Enough Fat." The scene where Zurg identifies himself as Buzz`s father is, of course, a reference to The Empire Strikes Back. John Ratzenberger, who plays Hamm, had a small part in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980), as Major Derlin.
When Al is in the elevator en route to the airport, you can hear an "elevator-music" version of the theme from A Bug`s Life (1998). The floating platforms Buzz Lightyear hops on play "Thus Spake Zarasthustra", the theme to 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).
The Green Three Eyed aliens have a circled pizza (pepperoni and mushroom) on their fronts. In the final "Woody`s Roundup" episode, Stinky Pete the Prospector attempts to extinguish a dynamite fuse by sitting on it. Having scorched his rear, he exclaims, "My biscuits are burning!" This line was originally used by Yosemite Sam (experiencing a similar predicament) in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988).
Wheezy the penguin is a tribute to the Linux mascot, Tux. #
# In Al`s office, there is an abstracted version of a shot from `Bug`s Life, A` (1998). The shot was reputedly abstracted to prevent people from identifying the shot until they got the video version and looked hard at it. When Jessie (Joan Cusack) first meets Woody (Tom Hanks), she exclaims, "Sweet mother of Abraham Lincoln!" Abraham Lincoln`s mother was Nancy Hanks, a blood relative of Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks is a direct descendant of an uncle of Nancy Hanks. When Buzz says goodbye to Buzz #2 he gives him the Vulcan salute, a Star Trek reference. Earlier, Buzz #2 thinks his mind will be "melded" by Buzz`s laser. In the scene with Rex in the car in Al`s Toy Barn holding the How to Defeat Zurg book, at 45:17 into the movie, there is one frame where we see a clear glimpse of the bottom corner of the book. As a lighthearted jab at Canadians the cover price is shown as $4.95 and $50.00 in Canada. It should be about $6.95. When the toys are playing cards during Woody`s nightmare after being "shelved," all the cards are the ace of spades. In fortune telling, the ace of spades represents death.
Directly after Rex lands back in the car in Al`s Toy Barn, Tour-Guide-Barbie quotes "remain seated please" then repeats it in Spanish. This is a reference to the safety spiel on the Matterhorn at Disneyland. (In the Spanish version of the movie, she repeats it in French.) When the toys pull up in the pizza truck at the airport to save Woody, you can hear in the background the phrase "The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only". The voice is very similar to the voice from the movie "Airplane" saying the exact same phrase. This same phrase is also heard in the first "Toy Story" when the pizza truck pulls up in front of Pizza Planet. #
# Many of the ideas that were not used in Toy Story (1995) appear in this film; the Buzz Lightyear cartoon, the yard sale, and Woody`s nightmare.
#
# For the scene where Woody looks at the merchandise from Woody`s Roundup, mock-ups of the toys were shown to Tom Hanks in the recording booth. Hanks` spontaneous reactions to the toys were recorded and used for Woody`s dialogue. #
# The floating rocks in the canyon at beginning of the movie were an accident, but John Lasseter liked the effect, so it was used in the final film. Early drafts of the original Toy Story (1995) had a Barbie doll in the role that became Little Bo Peep, but Mattel refused to license the character to Disney. The huge popularity of the movie (and boost in sales for Mr. Potato Head and other featured toys) led them to agree to have Tour Guide Barbie included in this film. #
# Among the emblems on the Woody`s Roundup plates in Al`s apartment is a Virginia Tech logo. It is on the bottom right part of the Woody plate.
#
# While driving around Al`s Toy Barn, the gang drives down the Buzz Lightyear aisle. Tour Guide Barbie tells them "back in 1995 short-sighted retailers did not order enough dolls to meet demand". This is an in-joke and a fact: When the original Toy Story was released in 1995, toy sellers did not think the movie would be a hit and they indeed did not order enough dolls to keep up with demand.
Originally, this was going to be a one-hour direct-to-video side project between Disney and Pixar. Eight months before it was due to Disney, Pixar decided that they did not want to ruin their name by creating a sub-par video, so they changed it to be a better, full-length feature. #
# The enormous amount of Sheriff Woody merchandise is a reference to the similarly themed Disney merchandizing phenomenon, Davy Crockett, from the 1950s. #
# As the green suitcase containing Jesse goes up the baggage conveyor toward the Far East cargo hold, the sound track plays a snippet of music sampled from the theme of Akira Kurosawa`s Shichinin no samurai (1954) The truck that drives by just before the toys cross the street under the safety cones is the Eggman Movers moving van from Toy Story (1995). The valley that Buzz flies through during the opening sequence, was going to be a river in a A Bug`s Life (1998) but was abandoned as the rocks are floating where the river should be.
The design of the cleaner character that fixes Woody for Al was based on renowned makeup artist Stuart Freeborn. The car that Buzz and Hamm use to find Woody is a Gyoza (a pun on Toyota). Gyoza is a type of Asian dumpling. According to rottentomatoes in 2007, this is the best reviewed movie of all time. Many people think the Woody`s Roundup sequence was filmed with real puppets. But really they took the same CG models and made small changes to make them look like puppets. Then they animated the puppet versions of the characters in a CG black and white set. Then they used this technique called the keno scope effect, which adds scratches, hairs, and pieces of grain to the image to make it look old. In the airport scene, there is a page for "Leon Kritch," an in-joke on co-director Lee Unkrich.

# The face of the toy cleaner character (taken from an earlier Pixar short Geri`s Game (1997)) is based on the facial features of Jonathan Harris, who played Dr. Zachary Smith in the "Lost in Space" (1965) TV series. The design for Emperor Zurg is based upon that of the character One-Eye from The Princess and the Cobbler (1993).
In the scene in the airport baggage area, it took an average of 70 hours to render each frame. This is one of three Disney movies to win a Golden Globe for Best Picture. The other two are Beauty and the Beast (1991) and The Lion King (1994).
