My family and I are currently rewatching Toy Story 2 and once the movie got to the part where Woody discovers that he was the star of a famous 1950s puppet show, I spent a lot of time wondering what happened to the series between the cancellation and the then-present time of the first two movies.

Was there ever an animated spinoff during the Dark Age of Animation? Hanna-Barbera, Filmation and DePatie-Freleng did make a lot of animated spin-offs of live action properties during those times (such as Gilligan's Isle, Tarzan, Batman '66 and Planet of the Apes) so it'd make a bit of sense if Woody's Roundup got similar treatment. Were there any attempts at making a big budget Hollywood movie in the 80s or 90s? The 90s were chock-full of adaptations of old TV shows from the 60s and 70s so again, it'd make sense if Woody's Roundup was optioned at one point. Maybe the movie never happened in that universe because it fell victim to Development Hell and some of the crew or cast jumped ship over to the 1995 Buzz Lightyear movie?

I feel like a fundamental quality of stuffed toys in the Toy Story universe is that their purpose isn't meant to be played with, but to be cuddled with. Being shown affection all around seen as a big honour for a toy, but usually kids only bring their stuffed animals to bed. (Andy was just a unusual child.)

Like, the bond between toys and their "kid" usually is strengthened within groups, within a hierarchy based on their roles in imagined play, and how much the toy is played with in general. Woody was Andy's favourite, and he was the hero. Buzz became his new favourite, and he was also a hero. Thus, creating a conflict within the hierarchy.

This is all thrown out of the window with stuffed toys.

Sure, they can be used in imagined play, but their purpose isn't to be played with. Instead, it's to provide comfort to their "kid." Therefore, the bond between a stuffed toy and their owner surpasses even the most treasured toy in the collection, because they are there for their "kid" when they are at their most vulnerable.

I think this is what is misunderstood about Lotto's character. As the audience see in Woody and Stinky Pete, lacking a purpose is enough to drive a toy mad. It's as if their worse qualities are brought out, bringing about a desperation that drives them to do terrible deeds, just so they get the attention they were literally created for.

For Woody, he needs to be played with. Plain and simple. Yet, he also needs to be a hero and a leader, because this was his role in Woody's Roundup, ingrained in his very fabric of being.

For Stinky Pete, any positive attention will do, as long as he is perceived. He was the comic relief in Woody Roundup. He was created with the purpose of making people smile and laugh. So being abandoned on the shelf, ignored, was his worse nightmare, the epitome of hell itself.

(His ending of becoming an art piece for a child was actually his best possible fate. Sure, he had an initial bad reaction to this, but in becoming a silly artsy toy, he will ultimately fufill his role as comic relief in playtime. He didn't really want to hurt the main cast at the end of the day, he just needed to be loved, so he faced no real karma.)

Lotso, on the other hand, needs to be a child's entire world. He needs to be snuggled with, he needs to be the listener, and the pacifier. He even smells like strawberries, just so he can comfort his owner. Heck, his name is even Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear!

The guy wasn't meant for group play, nor was he meant to have multiple owners. He was fully independent, and therefore, self centered by nature.

In the scene where Lotso was replaced with an identical, he basically had an existential crisis. He becomes the only member of the entire series who truly understands how unfair and wrong their existence truly is. His heart was crushed, and it never came back after that.

In finding out that he is fundamentally no different to his owner than any other lotso, something broke within his psyche.

Toys are meaningless to children at the end of the day. They are simply a future piece of trash, bound by a system designed by oppressive creatures toys can't help but crave the attention of. He even says the latter to the main cast, and I genuinely think that he believes it.

"I didn't throw you away; your kid did! Ain't one kid ever love a toy really! Chew on that when you're at the dump!"

"This is what happens when you DUMMIES TRY TO THINK! WE'RE ALL JUST TRASH WAITIN' TO BE THROWN AWAY! THAT'S ALL A TOY IS!"

So, Lotso took matters in to his own hands to gain some sense of control in his life.

He designated any threats to the room with destructive children, or had the toys join him. He created an oppressive environment within the daycare, and created a superficial hierarchy to put himself on top. A horrible thing to do, but it's what he felt was necessary so that he can fulfill his purpose without risk of being replaced again.

It's notable that none of the toys he picked for his gang feature another stuffed toy. I imagine stuffed toys were the first to be be sent to the dumpster, unless they aren't popular amongst the children, perhaps.

I don't think Lotso did this to "spite" any toy, despite what the flashback might suggest. His line, "If I can't have (Daisy), no one can," stems from his insecurity of being obsolete. His real karma comes not from being a foil to Woody, like Stinky Pete was, but in abandoning the main cast in the dump out of petty revenge.

I think Lotto's terrible fate is perfect. He was willing to let the main cast die in the incinerator, so he faced a punishment worse than death as a result. Trapped on a dump truck, surrounded by and treated like trash, next to toys, never to fufill his purpose. And even if he escaped, no child would ever love a trash embedded toy.

Stinky Pete from Toy Story 2?

This guy predicted the events of Toy Story 3

Evil and fucking love it | A Whinny psycho | Really Dumb motive | Cool motive still murder | I don’t know enough to rate them | They have a point but they are a dick about it | Road to hell paved with good intentions | They are in the right here | Look if it were me I’d have been So MUCH worse | How are they not the hero? | Yea, I’m routing for the villain.

He had a point, though he is a complete hypocrite. He claimed he wanted to be played with but no one wanted him, but the moment he ends up in a child’s care, he’s terrified. He is the epitome of worst person you know has a point
