Trivia

One of the items in Al's Toy Barn behind Rex, before he and Mr. Potato Head board Barbie's car, is a pink teddy bear, which previously appeared as one of the silent toys on the shelf top, during the staff meeting in Toy Story (1995) (that actually served as the basis for Lotso in Toy Story 3 (2010).

Goofs

When the pipe rolls toward Mr. Potato Head while crossing the road, there is one shot from behind the pipe. At the rate it was rolling, it would have smashed him right away. However, we see Potato Head freeing himself from the gum, which took a few seconds. Moreover, when Potato Head walks from the gum, he has a fair amount of time, and the pipe is further away than it originally appeared.

User Reviews

To Infinity and Beyond ?

Well it's a sequel, and I watched with trepidation, and glad to say I enjoyed every minute of this, it was good to see the voices of all the characters still voiced by the original actors/actresses, as well as welcoming new characters 'Stinky Pete the Prospector' and the Round-up gang, as well as a nemesis for Buzz ! Some very 'tounge in cheek' movie gags (Jurassic Park and Star Wars to name but two). I would hope in years to come to see more quality productions like this.

This will be a family favourite again.
