Toy Story Characters: Good to Evil

they may be made of plastic but that doesn't mean that their hearts aren't real the characters in Toy Story have overwhelmed us with emotion throughout the good times and the bad times exploring relatable and at times dark issues that include jealousy growing up self-worth and even existentialism just a toy a stupid little insignificant toy Toy Story is one of the best animated series ever created but in a world full of toys how do we measure morality well that's what we're taking a shot at today I'm Kyle with wicked binge and this is good too evil toy story what better guy to start with than the most fearsome dinosaur in the toy box who's also nothing less than one of the most lovable toys of the bunch Rex he's caring gentle and hates any kind of confrontation and despite his insecurities and anxieties Rex always overcomes the challenge for the sake of his friends ironically he's a toy who seems to be a bit of a child himself he's constantly knocking things over in excitement and forgetting how big he really is plus one of his favorite hobbies is playing video games with his friends it's also admirable that his greatest desire is being loved and played with and don't forget his courageous act when he knocked zerg over with his tail in Toy Story 2 with all that said many would agree that Rex is the most innocent sweet and lovable character in the Toy Story universe next up is the Space Ranger who always has the good of the galaxy on his mind even after his realization that he's just the toy Buzz Lightyear he always prioritizes what's best for everyone else we have a friend in need and we will not rest until he's safe an at disrobe now let's move out and he's seen as a good example to many between him and woody buzz is arguably a better and more present leader when Buzz has a mission he goes all the way through into the end whether it's rescuing woody or even enlightening him and bringing him back to his principles 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 buzzes bravery courage optimism and loyalty are unquestionable all throughout the movies and we see this several times whenever he's willing to rescue a defenseless person even if the odds are stacked against him is that soldier strapped with explosive device of course he also has some insecurities about his true self or living with the fact that he's just a toy however thanks to woody speech he managed to get over the manic depression and finally understand his role as the toy he is a lot of fans like to compare Buzz and Woody but I like to think that buzz is of the best moral character next is a man who understands honor sacrifice and duty Sarge he is a disciplined soldier who never questions his mission to help others yes sir even woody refers to him and his men as the best hey these guys are professionals they're the best always there to accomplish a mission on behalf of his fellow toys Sarge will even put himself at risk to ensure that everyone gets home safe after all in his own words a good soldier never leaves a man behind we salute you sergeant next up is an animated horse who honestly acts more like a puppy bullseye Woody's Noble and faithful steed is always brave loyal and intuitive to his friends he's also extremely affectionate not only towards woody but also Jessie and the other toys despite the fact that he can't speak judging by his actions no one can deny that bullseye is extremely happy excited and always there to help during the rescue scene in Toy Story 2 you can see one of his many impressive skills when he runs just as fast as a plane getting ready to take off he's simply amazing ride like the wind bullseye another example of pure loyalty is slinky dog who's always with woody and always the last one to give up on him he's one of Woody's best and most loyal friends and unlike mr. Potato Head he's no instigator slinky is always nice friendly and playful much like any regular dog he seems to have the most faith in woody and never had a bad thing to say about anyone moving on we have Bo Peep she's delicate as porcelain literally yet she grew beyond the destiny given to her by her manufacturers and she aspired to be something more she may have never joined in on the gangs crazy adventures throughout the first movies but that's totally understandable due to her fragile nature however in Toy Story 4 Bo Peep developed a more adventurous personality putting herself at risk constantly through parkour and rescue missions for the sake of others here and there you know some kids play rougher than others so I try to be prepared that bravery is truly remarkable because never forget that porcelain breaks very easily Bo Peep is kind of a skeptic she only believes in what she's witnessed self and with that develops a very mature outlook on things by the time Bo Peep is moved to Molly's room she becomes almost a leader amongst her toys and even woody describes her to be the most capable of easing Molly's cries at night coming up next is an ambiguous character who changed a lot since the first movie came out he is the owner of the toys Andy Davis no doubt that he has treated his toys with an enormous amount of love however as a teenager his personality changed drastically which is understandable Andy goes through the phase of life that every seventeen year old boy struggles with being easily irritated and gruff all the time although he no longer plays with his toys he still cherishes them and remains very attached especially to woody making it very difficult to give him away no you got a promise to take good care of these guys they mean a lot to me but in an incredibly selfless act he gave his favorite toy away to little Bonnie what a guy and for that matter let's throw in Bonnie here as well obviously a bit young to really rank on a morality scale but like a young Andy Pawnee is a good kid who's loving and sweet and she takes care of her toys the next character is feisty and adventurous Jessie she may have a similar look to Woody she's much different on the inside while Woody is reserved and thoughtful Jessie is enthusiastic and act spontaneously all the time her bravery is evident throughout the movies especially when she's willing to risk her heart again by going to Andy Jessie's a very loyal friendly and excitable cowgirl however she has some flaws caused mainly by her rough past leaving her feeling lost resentful and with no purpose in sight in Toy Story 2 she acts a bit selfish towards Woody when she realizes that he has the intention of going back to Andy fortunately what he helps her past all that and she becomes one of the most caring friends you could ask for next up were finally at the cowboy and protagonist of the Toy Story franchise Woody Hayes on conditional love for Andy is outstanding and he also demonstrates time and time again how brave loyal and generous he is what he looks at his friends as family and he does anything that he can for them and keeps them together all the time he shows a lot of doubts frustrations and sadness much like a human but despite his mixed emotions he tries his best to not show it to his friends so that they can feel protected and secure what he is not without flaws however he is one of the most tactical and developed characters in the franchise and out of spite and jealousy he tried to trap buzz behind a desk down there and accidentally knocked him out of a window and this is really why we ranked him this low in the original movie Woody is incredibly spiteful and jealous and he sort of thrives off being at the top of the hierarchy and Andy's room something that he even struggles with when adopted by Bonnie sheriff do I need to be worried no no my guys are veterans I'll hang in there but he eventually got over his jealousy and made amends and there is no denying that woody is a great guy overall either toys or people everyone could use a friends like woody who never gives up on us no matter what known for their warship of the claw next are the aliens despite behaving like little kids they are undeniably funny loyal and heroic one of their most heroic acts was saving the entire group from the incinerator at the tri-county landfill this brave act showed how loving they are after the amazing rescue scene even mr. Potato Head who wasn't sold by the idea of having them around turned out to be eternally grateful for them we turn illegally by boys next we have four key the handcrafted toy made by Bonnie he's a somewhat philosophical guy always raising all sorts of questions about the world like how do toys come to life do I have to be a toy and other things like that four keys existential crisis managed to affect even woody when he was trying to help him making what he questioned his own existence useless yeah your purpose fulfilled now four key is very innocent self-conscious and fragile which reflects on his actions and his way of thinking he has a very self-critical personality which turns this piece of trash slash toy into an authentic character with some rather deep problems now let's rattle off a few entries really quickly next we have ducky and bunny the two wisecracking stuffed animals from the carnival always hilarious ducky and bunny do their part in assisting woody in Toy Story 4 and they both bring levity to the situation with their colorful personalities we also can't forget to mention Barbie a bit of a small role but a pivotal one in Toy Story 3 nonetheless we can't help but feel sorry for her having been given away by Molly she seems to be desperate for love which she finds with Ken but that doesn't stop her from doing what's right to uncover what lotsa was up to Duke kaboom is another character we can't help but feel sorry for look up jump forty school buses and lend it back into my life like Buzz he went through his own sort of existential crisis when he was thrown away the day his kid received him all because he didn't live up to the commercial sure Duke is a bit melodramatic but come on that's a pretty rough hand to be dealt next up we have a mine antagonist utility belt buzz really he's essentially just buzz before his existential crisis direct violation of code six 400 four point five though he never evolves past this very simple dimension when are buzz encountered him for the first time utility belt buzz imprisoned him and made all of his friends think that he was the real one well slotted picked their standard-issue thankfully buzz managed to escape and since both wanted to destroy zurk they joined forces to defeat him but all the conflict aside give the man a break he just hasn't seen the light yet next up is the very caring mrs. Potato Head she's friendly and kind-hearted but it also has that overly dramatic personality that is a bit over the top at times after knowing that mr. Potato Head saved the lives of three little aliens during a mission she decided to adopt them despite her husband's apprehensions you may have heard the saying happy wife happy life but she she'd probably ran that one by her husband don't you think moving on we have a very grounded character in the group the wisecracking piggy bank ham he's very smart but also very sarcastic he also speaks the truth like mr. Potato Head ham spent years playing as the super villain the evil dr. pork chop and Andy's numerous pretend scenarios he's also somewhat of a technological genius and he is the ultimate Channel hopper in Toy Story 2 since he switches channels on the TV far more rapidly than the other toys Ken Ham is definitely a sarcastic character and admittedly doesn't seem to be as caring as some of his friends are I mean when Barbie was given away instead of saying something comforting he just called dibs on her Corvette oh I get the Corvette next up is the most trusted henchman Lotso had and also his right-hand man big baby big baby was completely manipulated by lot so who lied to him to use him as a henchman poor baby we were thrown out together me and him causing chaos and fear in Sunnyside however thanks to woody you lied to big big baby discovered lots those true colors and finally having had enough of his lies and abuse he ended up throwing Lotso into the dumpster a true hero in that moment without a doubt the next character is known to be the most evil and destructive villain in the galaxy and also Buzz's archenemy Emperor Zurg he's as delusional as utility belt buzz since he truly believes he's the real Zerg and not just a toy but one thing is for sure though Zerg is dangerous destructive and murderous but we kind of have to let most of that go because he was programmed that way and he redeems himself later and builds a good relationship with his son for all we know once he sees the light and acknowledges that he's a toy he could be a downright great guy what a hilariously weird plot we've talked about the wife now comes the husband mr. Potato Head he's a glass half empty kind of guy if you know what I mean he has a cynical and grumpy personality he's constantly preying on Woody's insecurities insulting other toys and spreading negativity all around Andy's rooms that's mr. Potato Head to you you backstabbing murderer Plus Andy often casts him as a villain in his games which is understandable since it kind of fits his irritable and sarcastic behavior most of the time but I suppose even the most happy community has at least one instigator and in this case it's definitely mr. Potato Head with all that said he's prepared to go to lengths to save his friends and has a genuine sense of humor he also seems to have mellowed out a bit after the arrival of mrs. Potato Head the next character took us by surprise when he turned out to be a brave toy after all Barbies loved one Ken despite being one of Lazos henchmen in the end Ken had the guts to defy Lotso later he became a leader aside Barbie giving a new positive horizon to the toys of Sunnyside daycare with that said would Ken have turned on his four evil associates had he not fallen in love with Barbie for all we know he would have been more than happy to stay on the bad side if it were not for her now this ranking is going to anger a lot of people but give us a moment to explain next is Sid Phillips let me preface this by saying that Sid is one of if not the greatest villain in any Pixar movie ever made he is absolutely terrifying from the perspective of the main characters but we have to look at things contextually from SIDS point of view all of the toys that he's ripping apart and torturing are not real patient is he believes them to be inanimate objects there's no denying that Sid has problems he's a bully towards his sister and he has legitimate anger problems as shown when the claw in the arcade nearly gets stuck then there's the demented imagination he seems to have a lot of violent fantasies but one could argue they're really not that bad and this sort of behavior is common specifically with little boys we all knew a few kids in our neighborhood who liked to blow things up with fireworks if anything it actually seems like Sid may be struggling with a not-so-great home life he has problems but he's not sadistic in the sense that he really thinks he's harming innocent creatures for all we know once the toys revealed themselves to Sid he changes for the better and never hurts another toy ever again heck maybe he went crazy or was overwhelmed with guilt we're putting Sid here on the list because he's a bully and he seems to have real anger issues but we can't in good faith ranked him as the sadist that the toy CMS the next character may not be the most evil of toy stories villains but she might be one of the creepiest the vintage pull-string talking doll Gaby Gaby the truth about Gaby is that she feels desperate about being in the antique shop and just wants to be loved by a kid I've been practicing unfortunately to do so Gabby ends up kidnapping woody to steal his voice box so she can finally fix her own voice and be loved again she's a bitter toy very persuasive and smart doing anything necessary to get what she wants however Gabby has been shown to possess some redeeming qualities as she honors her deal with woody of letting them go after she took his voice box goodbye for ki I'm going to miss our talks after seeing that her previous owner harmony rejected her Gabby still tries to be adopted by a child which eventually causes her to redeem herself she's also the first villain in Toy Story movies to make amends which is quite remarkable ultimately she's not as bad as she seemed at first the next character is also known as chicken man the greedy owner of Al's Toy Barn Alma quicken he's a truly horrifying guy who's covered in cheeto dust and even looks like he smells bad for starters al is a big thief who has little patience for anyone or anything that gets in his way he steals toys as he did with woody to sell them and make money he's a selfish and unbearable person who has a crazy toy ab session however unlike sid al preserves his toys and even repairs their damages in order to increase their value and sell them for a lot of money so how long is this gonna take but really since we're ranking him from the human perspective he falls really low because of his thievery what kind of adult steals toys from a yard sale he also treats other people very poorly as evidenced by how Rudy is through the airport staff next up he is the bait and switch villain of Toy Story 2 and charismatic control freak stinky Pete the prospector prodigal son has returned in the first half of the movie he's shown to be a very wise man giving support and advice to Jesse woody and bullseye almost like a mentor how long will it last woody do you really think Andy is gonna take you to college or on his honeymoon however he was hiding his true nature as a manipulative treacherous and bitter man he's willing to lie and chop up his fellow toys and the pieces to get what he wants thanks boy he even reopened the old RIP in Woody's arm and threatened to tear him apart again rejoice woody you can go to Japan together or in pieces he's a cruel and insensitive guy who's possessed by anger and despair stinky Pete sure is one of the cruelest toys in the universe but with all that said we can feel his pain this depth is why Pixar is the best when it comes to creating characters I don't think that it's a huge surprise who is destined for the most evil spot on our list the twisted a lot so huggin bear is without a doubt the most evil character in the Toy Story universe he may seem like a regular and friendly teddy bear from the outside welcome to Sunnyside folks I'm but on the inside he is a total monster he rules Sunnyside daycare with a furry fist manipulating his followers into believing they are as twisted as him he's smart enough to manipulate everyone around him and uses his cuddly exterior to get those around him to let their guards down bring in the bookworm he's tortured and interrogated toys and even pit them against each other Beck he even threatens to murder his dissidents on trash collection day but there is one moment in particular that raises his status to outright sociopaths and I think you already know what moment I'm talking about when he and the toys were being sent towards a burning fiery death Woody and Buzz helped him escape to a ladder where the button that would turn off the conveyor belt is instead of pressing the button to stop it he looks down with a devious smile and revels with joy over the fact that the toys that just offered him a hand would be sent to a horrible death then he runs off yes his past is sad and totally shaped his cruel outlook on life but that level of sadism is truly evil and earns them the top spot on the farthest end of our evil list but what do you think what characters in the Toy Story series do you think are the most good and for that matter do you believe that Lotso is the most evil let us know and be sure to watch our full good to evil playlist where we've ranked all the characters and so many other cartoons shows and movies but most importantly stay wicked
