[@Krillinish2]

Disappointed in the lack of Mr. Shark in the franchise after Toy Story 1.

[@RB-NZ2]

He was the most pointless toy and his scene came close to ruining the entire film.

[@kharitheblueanteater9592]

You kidding me

[@MichaelCutts7]

HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY

[@luigificationful]

Krillinish2 he’s the best part of the whole franchise

[@richardunicorn7879]

Me too.

[@DarkTyyp]

How could you forget about Billy, Goat, and Gruff??? Unforgivable

[@Wormier]

Doesn't have credit, he said the ones without credit wouldn't get mentioned

[@weeping_willows]

Unforgettable

[@shotaroikaros7096]

They also forget Totoro, Rocky, Troll, Mike, Troikas, the shelf toys, Barrel of monkeys, hockey puck, and Mr. Spell. And FYI, it's Shark, not Mr. Shark. People only confuse that because wheezy said Mr. but that's only because he says Mr. for every toy. Likes how he said Mr. Buzz lightyear. It's in the many of the books as proof

[@TheWealthGenerator]

When you already watched Toy Story 4 but now you watch every video remotely talking about it

[@herald1953]

yeah as in we need more of em, i could watch the movie again in theater

[@whymusti99]

Thanks to the KZbin algorithm

[@SuperMovieLvr933]

YES!!!

[@FloInTheCity]

Tell me about it!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@ginastanziale8398]

ME 😂👌🏻

[@FindingTheForce]

I kind of thought he was going to go deeper into the characters roles in the film and what their characters represent. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@ParkerUAS]

Me too as well as to talk briefly about the real life counterpart.

[@angelmistery2122]

Me too

[@AmaDesperado]

He did?

[@briyarose5815]

Are you an English student by chance?

[@Yipper64]

yeah... was really interested in forky specifically, like does he represent a certain group of people or...?

[@ibanezman04]

No mention of Mr Spell? Let’s not forget this is the toy who held a plastic corrosion awareness meeting for his fellow toys. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@bigdillproductions0448]

He also helped buzz in toy story 2

[@PutnamentalAnimation]

What about Rocky? He lowered the moving truck ramp. He was a hero.

[@blessmarti]

Ironically they forgot to mention the Forgotten Toys in Bonnie's closet in Toy Story 4 voiced by Mel Brooks, Betty White, Carol Burnett, and Carl Reiner.

[@pierrepanse2356]

Most importantly, things that needs more explaining are sid's toys.

[@mr.exposition]

That was the voice cast for them?? AMAZING

[@eduardo_moya]

@@mr.exposition They did nention Sid's toys though

[@phills6732]

Usually I'm all about who plays what character, but for some reason I had NO IDEA Micheal Keaton played Ken

[@cynthiarose1172]

Phillip Stucker no kidding...shocked

[@DrMuffin1080]

I don’t even know you and I’m still disappointed

[@danielwalker481]

I can hear it now though

[@veesvoyages]

Me too! Or that Jodi Benson plays Barbie, I'm ashamed of myself

[@danerd8978]

Mr. Prickle Pants is Timothy Dalton aka James Bond.

[@northernlights1260]

my favorite character was the green chair in the closet in toy story 4 with the shocked face

[@starrynightmp3]

big mood

[@strawberryjam2861]

Jesus Espinoza her name is “Chairol Burnett” Voiced by Carol Burnett 😂

[@sasamichan]

Not really EVERY toy. Also I was hopping for more of a toy history.

[@stevenwhite3.1415]

I think only a few have actual histories. The rest are fictitious.

[@vaw796]

He did say he was only discussing the toys credited.

[@brewtalityk]

Same. I was expecting to hear about where the toys originated, when they first were created as toys, and also mention which ones were made up for the movies. I thought in the first 2 or 3 movies, nearly every toy was a real toy except for a couple of them?

[@Fennaixelphox]

@@stevenwhite3.1415 Woody, Buzz and the LGMs are original to the Toy Story series

[@whitestguyuknow]

Yeah "Every toy explained" and "What every toy does in the movie explained" is completely different

[@Shak2k11]

I was hoping for actual interesting facts and toy history instead of literally just saying each toy that everyone already knows with a little description of who they are that eveyone also already know

[@Antbeast23]

I mean i didn't know who they were voiced by

[@NattyAstudillos]

20:27 That part: "The toy Soldiers abandoned their post" explains why I could never find any of my toy soldiers growing up...

[@MarkWilson-rn8tx]

I did find one of mine! Helping my mom turn over the garden to put some mulch in. I couldn't believe I found one. And this is true I don't know what I did with him! You lose something fifty years ago and you now still don't know where he is. I will have to ask my Mom. There is no toy Justice!!!!

[@dirtypoptoxic]

Explained? This guy was like "here's a toy, he's in toy story". Dude...

[@Jjcoolman14]

Barrel of moneys and the sheep weren’t noticed

"Look I'm Woody, Howdy, Howdy, Howdy!" Idk why but that made me laugh more than it should

[@LittleParade_]

[@ameliakate8794]

Lol

[@nanobotjr]

Also: "Voiced by the incredible [name]"

[@mausu_mau5]

I still love that they added a totoro in toy story

[@sameerkhatri588]

Thanks to the relationship between Disney and Studio Ghibli

[@nicoleparreira1024]

IM JUST DISCOVERING THIS AND OMG IM SO HAPPY. Had to text my mom & sis about it and everything.

[@Dominic7449]

I remember that movie I use to watch, it was with the tortoro and those 2 little girls

[@TheGreatCooLite]

Does this man really have to explain who Woody is

[@casedistorted]

The Great CooLite Tom Hanks 😂

[@alexovechelskin7278]

@Jeliana Menthel yo Jeliana thanks for the free virus i always wanted one

[@gamerpotato6440]

Well the title said every character in the toy story movies and woody is apart of those movies so for he included him into the video even though we pretty much all know who he is he still had to include him

[@Thespeedrap]

Why not he's a character in the series

[@lvhxc]

“Every toy” “We are just going to discuss some of them”

[@mustardsfire22]

So many actors who since passed away. :(

[@rayoffishes1224]

so sad...

[@evanryan3846]

Relationship between woody and buzz pretty much was forgotten in 4

[@THEMAINGAMERXD]

*Spoilers for Toy Story 4 below* “Woody is the most loyal toy to any kid” *Leaves Bonnie to be a lost toy after a few weeks of not being played with*

[@iconicstudios5611]

You missed the hockey puck

[@stylo1822]

Did they miss the real Buzz or am I trippin? Also they missed Mr. Spell, Rocky, Billy, Goat, Gruff and Mr. Mike,

[@stylo1822]

I knew it, theres no way they would've missed Buzz

[@caleb8676]

And the snake

[@iamymay]

The real Buzz is at 6:06

[@BarelyNoticeable]

I loved that one Rex’s line in TS4, “The anxiety is attacking me!” 😂 I felt that. Also when they were like “What would Woody do?” “Well he’d jump out of a moving vehicle” LOL

[@nanoface7793]

I'm disappointed... Andy told Bonnie to take care of Woody and she wanted Woody but she didn't care about him and they didn't show the old characters that much we only care about the old ones, Bonnie and boo are the villains, I waited nine years for this

[@user-mu8dm4rk7g]

She's just a kid and doesn't take any responsibility in her actions. Nothing surprising. Like in real life (most of the time).

Stretch was voiced by Whoopi Goldberg, AND was a girl!?

[@diegomendez5286]

Anyone else want a Toy Story Series????? Like to explain some of the toys background and how they went their ways when Andy sold them or gave them away??!!

[@danielherman3841]

"Sparks is one of the most creative names we came up with for a character. Because he's a robot. And he shoots sparks." Best part of the video, that was so funny

[@peterproductions5015]

This whole time I thought that Stretch was male.

[@rayoffishes1224]

I do, it was fun to watch every Saturday morning.

[@n2doll444]

23:44 Anyone else realise Bunny and Ducky aren’t joined hands?
