Did You Know?

-Stinky Pete was the first Pixar villain shown to be good at first. Circumstances had led him to be an antagonist later on when he reveals why he is angry at kids

-Jim Varney and Don Rickles, who voice Slinky Dog and Mr. Potato Head, died 17 years apart from each other while Joe Ranft and R. Lee Ermey, who voiced Wheezy/Lenny and Sarge, both died 13 years apart from each other

-It's almost obvious that Al's favorite snack is cheese puffs. They make appearances everywhere, from the trunk of his car to a bowl he spills on the floor. This could explain why he's overweight

-Stinky Pete the Prospector is based on the character Howard, played by Walter Huston, in the film The Treasure of Sierra Madre

-In an interview, Tom Hanks stated that he and Tim Allen watched the "Jessie's Song" sequence and when it was over, broke down in tears

-During the karaoke scene at the end, Wheezy's voice is based on Frank Sinatra, who died a year before the film was released

-This is the first Pixar film to feature Wayne Knight

-The character Jessie came about because director John Lasseter's wife Nancy suggested there be a strong female character

-Jessie is claustrophobic and suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder from being abandoned and left in storage for so long it traumatized her

-Buster, Andy's dog, is one of the only people who knows toys come to life

-When Buzz is running up the luggage conveyor belt looking for Woody, he gets a sticker saying "Butte" stuck to him. This refers to Butte City, California. In another scene, there was a sticker stuck to Slinky Dog, saying "LHR". This is the IATA airport code for Heathrow Airport in London, England

-Bullseye seems to be more attached to Jessie than Woody, despite being Woody's horse. Jessie is always seen comforting him or putting her arm around him

-This was the last Pixar film of the 1990s

-Al's old-style car looks like Flo from the film Cars

-Carol Burnett, Florence Henderson and Betty White were some of the actresses who auditioned to voice Mrs. Potato Head

-The character Al the toy collector was based on Mark Luhn, the father of animator/storyboard artist Matthew Luhn. Mark owned a toy store called Jeffrey's Toys in addition to collecting toys. A group of animators followed him around, noting his mannerisms and learn about collecting toys.

-The car that Buzz and Hamm drive is the Pizza Planet truck. It's a Gyoza, which is a pun on Toyota. In real life, a gyoza is a type of Asian dumpling

-Mary Kay Bergman, who provided the yodels for Jessie, committed suicide two days before the film's release

-When the toys are leaving Al's apartment building, to get the door to stay open, Mr. Potato Head throws his hat in just a way to keep it open. This is a nod to the James Bond film Goldfinger, where Oddjob would throw his hat in that same technique

-When Utility Belt Buzz "arrests" normal Buzz, he is told that he is in direct violation of Code 6404.5, stating all space rangers are to remain in hyper-sleep until awakened by authorized personnel. In real life, Code 6404.5 is a California state law banning smoking in public places

-When Jessie first meets Woody, she exclaims "Sweet Mother of Abraham Lincoln!" Abraham Lincoln's mother was Nancy Hanks. Tom Hanks is a blood relative of him, a direct descendant from an uncle of Nancy Hanks
