1 minute and 48 seconds in - aaand the channel is over! :D <3 I don't have a hobby that nobody around me cares for, but I'd say that about my obsession for MST3K. Although, if I told someone that I spend my free time watching people watching movies, I'd probably get some weird looks. Btw. This may have been answered in one of the Q&A videos but did you guys consider opening a Discord channel? Or would that be too much additional work to moderate? Which would be totally understandable.

Florian Geyer

Greetings CineBingers, to answer the question, most of the time I'm training and giving training in martial arts, Karate and Ninjutsu, also I like gaming, singing and obviously I like watching movies :D

Hard to believe this is 30 years ago and it still holds up from when I was a little lad. The sequels are outstanding and arguably get better with each film so it’s definitely worth the experience. As for the opening question I’m the only hobby board gamer/ttrpg guy in amongst a mostly “video games only” crowd, but I’d say collecting classic and premium books - sometimes multiples of the same book - gets a lot of eyebrow raises haha

Dioskur

Not ashamed but often confronted with confusion if I describe it. You know it: The pen&paper rpg thing. After playing for 30 years I found a way to describe it but many people still look at me like a leper

ghostmoan

I swear to Satan, this damn channel and the teasing. Give us the unicorn pegasus deck video as extra patreon content! This is a demand not a request! (I’m kidding in case it’s not clear, but genuinely it’d be pretty funny if you did it as like an April Fool’s video)

Jeb Manning

I'm so excited for this one. Toy Story is honestly one of the best animated movies out there. So much fun, so funny, and so creative. I've seen it on so many polls, so I'm really glad you guys are finally getting to it. You also absolutely have to react to the next two sequels. The original Toy Story trilogy is one of the best trilogies ever.

Odd Thomas

Toy Story 3 is the best one imo, but they're all great. Please watch Watership Down (1978)

Jeb Manning

There's also a few animated movies I'd recommend going on polls for the future. They're so good, and I think they would make for great reactions: -Pinocchio (1940) -The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949) -Heavy Metal (1981) -The Secret of NIMH (1982) -The Last Unicorn (1982) -The Great Mouse Detective (1986) -An American Tail (1986) -The Brave Little Toaster (1987) -The Land Before Time (1988) -All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989) -Aladdin (1992) -The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) -Up (2009) -The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) -Transformers One (2024)

droodly

I've seen this a zillion times, but this the first time I noticed the Joss Whedon screenplay credit, and the Shining carpet in Sid's house. Awesome!

gobmob2000

So my favourite childhood toy is a little boring, it was a Teddy Bear. But there is a bit of a funny story surrounding it. So I am half German and half British, as a child I was born and raised in Germany, and when I was a we toddler, by Dad bought be a Teddy Bear. Now being young, I could not think of a name, so my Dad started listing names and as a joke he mentioned the name Willy, and I loved the name. He tried to convince me not to pick it, but it was too late. For those who don't know, Willy is British slang for Penis. Thereafter, every time I visited my British family in England, I would mention my Teddy bear and asked for Willy, "Where is my Willy", "I want to play with my Willy", "I love my Willy" etc, and my British family would fall over laughing, for them it was the funniest thing ever. I never got why they laughed until much later. But I do still play with my Willy to this day ;)

attackthehole

assuming you are actually asking and not trying to stir up political shit. no, it wont increase. the tariffs are on imported goods. like physical goods.

Josip Buretić

Toy Story franchise is just amazing!! I love all of them. About favorite toy as a kid it is little bit simular with you George growing up in Croatia back then in the 80's we didn't have much toys to play with. The first real memory that have must been about 1988/89 when I becam my first He-Man figure and I don't even think it was original figure but some fake one but he was my favorite 😁

Josh B.

Yes all 4 Toy Stories are great so do em all :D

JediLounger

If you want to shatter your emotions like a Sub-Zero fatality from Mortal Kombat, I would suggest you guys watch The Wild Robot (2024).

Ginger

I always thought of Sid as a very creative kid, much more so than Andy. Definitely intelligent - let's hope he found a more constructive outlet for those skills. But yeah, he also seems very much like a neglected kid in need of therapy, especially at the end. Who has a torture handbook in his room? Also, there are so many eastereggs in this film: Most of the books behind Woody when he gives his speech are titles of earlier Pixar shorts, the writers are Pixar people. Sid's toolbox has "Binford" on it, which is a Tim Allen reference. And while I agree that Toy Story 4 isn't as great at the others, all of them are still worth watching.

Tinfoilnation

Simone will appreciate this: Star Trek The Wrath of Khan - is why we have Toy Story. WoK was the very first film to use a completely CGI animated sequence (the Genesis Effect) Lucasfilm did the work - and George Lucas decided that computer graphics wasn't really for him and there was probably no future in it (rofl). Yes, believe it or not, there was a time Lucas was NOT obsessed with CG. So anyway he decided to sell the computer animation division of Lucasfilm to this guy who had recently been fired and was looking for work... named Steve Jobs. Lucasfilm's CG division was renamed Pixar, and the rest is history.

Brandon

I haven't seen this since the 90's. I just noticed the Home Improvement reference with the "Binford Tools" logo on the toolbox that Sid used to weigh down the milk crate that he used as a toy prison.

James Smith

Elden Ring is my embarrassing hobby

Paul Schmitt

The Announcer in the Buzz Lightyear commercial is Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller, who are magicians / comedians.

Maiki

Back in my twens, for about 6 years, I spent every weekend travelling with my favourite football/soccer club. Every home game, every away game. Don't wan't to miss that time, met a lot of fascinating/crazy/amazing people, had a lot of experiences I'll never forget and basically saw the whole country. But obviously other friends fell pretty short back then, so they were quite annoyed here and there. First toy: also a stuffed animal, panda bear called Paul. Grandma had to fix him a couple of times, but still with me today.

Odd Thomas

R. Lee Ermey from Full Metal Jacket voiced the lead soldier. Another great film with him in is The Frighteners.

WalrusWallace

I recently got into collecting Pop Mart figurines. Which is embarrassing since I used to poke fun at some of my Funko Pop collecting friends. Those same friends now tease me in return. For good reason because at least Funko Pops aren't (usually) blind boxes. But my little figurines bring me so much joy that the shame is worth it

Jesse Coombs

My most embarrassing hobby would probably be watching movies I've seen before with YouTube reactors. I'm kidding, but only a little.

Mike FromOz

I've collected and painted Warhammer Fantasy and 40k figures for a long while. I am now no longer embarrassed because Henry Caville has spoken about his love for it on several TV shows, and that now makes it less dorky by association. It's funny, I make art to be an artist. When that burns me out, I sculpt and paint miniatures, which is just another form of art haha.

MrCAL

In terms of how this movie influenced me as a kid, I weirdly started pretending my toys actually came to life and started roleplaying what they would do as if I wasn't around or aware. For example I'd hide my toy soldiers in our Xmas tree to watch me open presents... Some psychological meaning there I'm sure lol Toy Story 2 is a definite must watch. 3 is good. 4 is fine, but they could/should have ended it with 3. I believe Russell Crow was approached to be Aragon first but turned it down.

Mastervodo

Simone! I would love to hear more about your Magic Cards, and you should be doing Twitch Streams where you do nothing else!

Carlos Hurtado

The buzz movie wasn't, but luckily all the main Toy Story movies are great!

D. T. Nelson

Yes, this movie has the distinction of being not only the first Pixar full length film, but the first full length 3D computer animated film ever. Most of the life-like 3D animation and visual effects we have today was built upon the foundation of what Pixar did here. We've come a long way in the past 30 years.

Kevin

They are all good! 3 is my fav!

Christian Rennie

My fav toy is my Teddy Bear and still got it. It's a good 42 years old. Magic? I wanna know the Horse Girl decklist. It is time for a Commander game with Simone. Is every card horse themed? Is Moonshaker Cavalry in it? Emil? Any Horsemanship cards? Got a moxfield link? I'm such a nerd. "Inquiring minds want to know."

Aaron Navarrete

All of the other Toy Story movies are great!! Watch them all!!

REDR58

You should never be embarrassed by doing any sort of hobby or whatever else, no matter who else likes or dislikes it. All that matters is you like and enjoy it.

REDR58

My hobbies are playing video games (almost exclusively Forza Horizon games and a little Minecraft these days), putting together model kits which I’ve done for decades, working on my car, and collecting movies. I also collect and build Lego (which was also my favorite kind of toy). There’s nothing embarrassing to me about it because there is no reason that anyone should be embarrassed about doing anything like this that they enjoy. My earliest memory is from nursery school. I recall sitting and playing in circular area around a low table. Something like that.

akaTheBARON Tokyo Drift

The thing about the Buzz Lightyear spinoff "Lightyear" is, while it's connected to the Toy Story universe, it's not a Toy Story movie, or even a movie about toys. Buzz Lightyear is a toy based on a character from movies and TV shows in that universe kids like Andy would have watched. So like having a toy of Spider-Man, Superman, or whoever. So the spin-off "Lightyear" is just one of those movies Andy would have watched. So everyone in that movie are actual people (CGI people, but you knew what I meant LOL), which is why he's voiced by someone other than Tim Allen. It was an interesting idea I guess, but it fell short . Eh, what can ya do? All the actual Toy Story movies are all good. 3 is GREAT.

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

Oof, after this hellacious week I can't wait to get home from work later and relax with some Pixar, and Toy Story is definitely a favorite.

Wally Hartshorn

Incidentally, that "Improvised Munitions Handbook" that was in Sid's bedroom is an actual US Army handbook that is now declassified and widely available. It apparently has been found in the possession of various people accused of involvement in domestic terrorism.

Logan Kerlee

lmao, fuck off George! xD <3 I love Magic the Gathering! I used to play it NONSTOP as a teen. Nowadays I'm playing Hearthstone as my card game of choice. Wrinkly tomato? Uh.. no thanks on that. I've seen this movie so many times. Saw this originally in theaters as a boy. So much fun! My favorite childhood toy if videogames don't count would have to be my GIANT stuffed animal/gorilla! I'll always keep it, too! It's so awesome. <3 :D Her name's Koko - named after the signing gorilla. Had a very fun time watching this with you both! No - this didn't change my outlook/attitude with my toys. I was never vicious like Sid was but yeah - I always had fun with them! :) lmao, Sean Connery as Gandalf would've been terrible! The first movie is by far my favorite of the bunch but that's only because I first watched this as a youngster in theaters. The second I didn't really enjoy much at all but I think that I remember the 3rd and 4th being good. :)

Logan Kerlee

What army did you play? I used to nave a Space Wolves army but nothing major! It was only like ~1,200 points or something.

StrayConfusion

Pixar's first 15 years were nearly perfect: Toy Story (1995) A Bug's Life (1998) Toy Story 2 (1999) Monster's Inc (2001) Finding Nemo (2003) The Incredibles (2004) Cars (2006) Ratatouille (2007) WALL-E (2008) Up (2009) Toy Story 3 (2010)

IncredibleBulk

I've seen this film many times and I know it has a lot of references, however it was only watching it this time through I noticed one of the references. when Woody is trapped in the crate and needs buzz to help push the toolbox off the top. The tool box is labelled Binford Tools which is the tool sponsor of tool time, Tim Allen's show from his series Home Improvement

Ari Ramirez

This is indeed not only Pixar's first movie, but also the first CG feature length film ever made.

djKENTO

not only are the rest of the toy story films good, they actually get better with each entry, until 4 which isn’t to say 4 is bad. It’s just not better than 3. They’re all great. Here’s a wild fact. Tom Hank’s brother Jim Hanks does the voice of Woody for toys, commercials and a few shorts. In fact if you’re watching a commercial and you think you hear Tom Hanks, you’re probably hearing Jim.

RichieRich

Sweet. Can’t wait for the sequals.

Foggy

this is my dad’s favorite movie, it was my favorite growing up. i had my own woody, buzz, jessie, rex, piggy, mr and mrs potato head, slinky dog, and rc car. clearly i’m biased but i think all four movies are great, and the animation is so beautiful in the fourth movie! i hope you’ll watch all of the sequels soon :) also wanted to add — simone, you were worried that your toys couldn’t breathe; i had the same concern for my elmo doll so i took a sharpie and drew on nose holes for him haha

MatthewBrown74m

My hobbies are playing old video games like ps1 ps2 ps3 and Nintendo 64......I am an old nerd

Ari Ramirez

Regarding why Buzz seems to believe his own backstory, my headcanon is that it's just because he's a newer, more advanced and complex toy than the others. You may notice the rest of Andy's toys are actually kind of older and simpler, especially for the late 90s.

Mike Adams

My embarrassing hobby is I watch other people watch movies

Ari Ramirez

And lastly, Terrence Howard is a pretty good actor! I highly recommend you watch Prisoners (2013) if you haven't, he was great there. Although to be fair, the entire cast (which includes Huge Jackedman, Jake Gylenhaal and Viola Davis) was incredible.

MadmanGardens

It was you guys and FunnyLilGalReacts that turned reaction channels into my new favorite hobby. (while I assemble perler beads or Lego, haha)

Guy Gordon

Then I'll try not to read into my growing up on Vectrex, 2600, Colecovision, Intellivision, etc... :)

dys

Toy Story 4 has the disadvantage of coming after 3, which is a lot of people's favorite (including mine), and which feels like a perfect ending to the series. So 4 just feels inessential, but it is still a good movie in its own right.

FranciscoGios

Actually I did enjoy watching LIGHTYEAR, it is a very well made animation movie. I never understood why so many people hated it.

Ken

Wow, I am surprised you think Terrence Howard isn't a good actor. If you really wanna see what he can do, you guys should react to Hustle & Flow.

Scoobay

My favourite toy was a Baby Sinclair doll thingie from the Dinosaurs TV show. I loved that show.

Amelie W

Not to sound like A Creative, but my favorite toy was a bag with about 8000 lego pieces I collected between about age 4 and 20. I liked making things more than playing with them. And now I'm a writer, most of my toys are in my computer, and my legos are gathering dust at a young cousin's house in another city.

Cliff Adams

There's a Pizza Planet in Tomorrowland in Disneyland, where the old rocket to the moon ride once was. (I don't know about Walt Disney World.) The worst pizza in DL. (Much better over at California Adventure.) A number of Disneyland reviewers have stated the Pizza Planet serves their least favorite food of any type in the entire resort. When I was an infant, I was given a small (8"?) panda stuffed animal which my mother called "Tedder Bear." I called him Andy Panda, after the Walter Lanz cartoon/comic book character. A few years later, I saw a same-size elephant who had a manufacturer's tag on his leg. I asked my mother what it said, she replied "Knickerbocker." That became his name, and Andy and Knickerbocker were best friends (Andy became the sidekick) who had many adventures together. I still have them both... I'm 74 now. (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10159648427660950) We find Sid a few times in later Toy Story films. Mentioned in TS2, appears in TS3.

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

My favorite toy was Boba Fett. My dad took me to see Return of the Jedi when I was 5 or 6 and even though he was only in the movie for a few minutes I just thought he was the coolest character. I lost him once, then a teenager down the street stole the second one I got, my dad somehow found out and made me go to his house to get it back, he didn't go with me, he just told me I better not come back without it, anyway I did get him back, and then I lost him again lol. Also, Rocky Raccoon, my favorite stuffed animal who protected me at night from my sister's creepy ass dolls. And I didn't see Toy Story as a kid but I do remember I actually thought my toys came to life at night, and I was terrified of dolls, which was definitely because of the Twilight Zone "Talking Tina" episode, actually it's called "Living Doll", and that one episode about the mannequins that came to life. I still don't trust mannequins, I see them at stores and say, "What are you looking at fool? I will fight a mannequin, I will fight you right here and now in the middle of this Kohl's."

Polecat21

I really liked 4. I'd rate it just behind 3 which is my favorite. Also Lightyear is not a "Toy Story" movie. it just takes place in that universe it's supposed to be the movie that inspired the toy. I don't think that was clear to a lot of people before going to see it and maybe that's why so much hate. I thought it pretty good though.

REDR58

MST3K is lots of fun! I really wonder if Simone and George have any idea about it?

REDR58

Very good noticing that! I recognized the “Binford” name but couldn’t place it.

REDR58

So this was a first time watch for me yet again. It’s quite good aside from all of the human characters looks a bit odd, but that’s to be expected. Evidently Andy’s father’s absence is never explained. It’s interesting that there is a young child in the family with no father around but that is probably more common that people might think, for any number of reasons. My brother-in-law was divorced when his youngest was barely out of diapers.

FranciscoGios

I thought that LGTB character didn’t messed with the story line unlike all other films after it.

Raven Dark

I second this! I've recommended it before on another of Simone and George's reactions. I'm really surprised more people aren't recommending it here considering how great it is, and how well the movie is doing.

Raven Dark

LMAO That's so good. I can imagine how much joy Simone and George got out of this comment.

Jacob King

We totes need a Lisa Frankenstein reaction dudes!

Raven Dark

Yay! I love these movies. I can't remember Toy Story 4, so maybe I somehow missed that one, but I remember liking the first three quite a lot. I agree, you should watch all of them. I don't think I've seen the Buzz Lightyear spinoff, but I'd be down to watch you two react to it. I'd be interested to see if you end up liking it. What a great reaction! I love how invested in the characters you both were, and how deep your minds went into the lore. Buzz's reaction to realizing he's a toy reminds me of those storylines where humans realize we're all all just part of some lab experiment and how one might react to that epiphany. His conflict is really well-executed. Yeah, Syd has all the makings of a budding serial killer. Let's hope he grew up to become a productive member of society who uses his admittedly incredible imagination to create great movies with neat looking creatures or something instead of going on to torture small animals and then murder people. "The mom has her own toys." - fuck off, George. Jesus. "Why would someone create a Disappointing Asian?" - *laughs, then pats George on the head* Okay, I actually did gigglesnort at that, and then I remembered you guys's reaction to Barbie, and pictured George as Disappointing Asian Barbie. Er, Ken. Whatever. :D And that does make me wonder what Barbie Simone would be... George, I couldn't help but laugh when you couldn't remember who Tim Allen is considering how often you tease Simone about her memory. All right, I'm half joking. Sort of. You guys saw Tim Allen (the voice of Buzz Lightyear) in Galaxy Quest. He played the commander of the ship. And I couldn't tell if you noticed or not, but Woody's voice is Tom Hanks, from The Green Mile and Forrest Gump. Yes, Simone the voice of the dinosaur is Mr. "Inconceivable!" from The Princess Bride. I can't remember the actor's name, and I'm too lazy to look it up, but I loved him in this movie. So many funny lines. I remember having lots of toys as a kid, but I don't recall having a favorite. Mostly, I preferred to read or write, or sometimes draw. I had a huge collection of books and read everything I could get my hands on, even things I was way too young to read. That's probably why I'm a smut writer now. Oh, I've got another recommendation for you guys. You should watch Finding Nemo. Not only because I think you two would love it, but because it's another one of those older animated films (though it's Disney, not Pixar) where the animation is from before it became what it is in movies like Turning Red, but for the time it came out, it looks wonderful.

Werevark

So Simone...whatCHA got in that Horse MTG Deck?

Thirty Year Old Mulberry Field

Outside of movies my main hobbies are music related activities, with a preference for metal (really more of a lifestyle choice) & what is usually referred to as world/indigenous music. As well as noodling around on few instruments like the 12-string guitar, accordion, bass, & Cuban percussion. By far my favorite toy was my Agumon plush from Digimon. Holding onto him while wearing my matching Digimon patched overalls made me feel unstoppable in kindergarten. I wish I could’ve been a fly on the wall when the suggestion to somehow fit both an existential crisis and the Hasbro equivalent of Josef Mengele into a G-rated film was brought up, what mad men!! I never really saw Sid as the antagonist, and if anything thought it was cool to see him mix & match toys into new things; pretty creative, if odd and aggressive. The details imply some inattentive parenting & while he is a jerk to his sister, its not unusual sibling behavior for his age. The interrogation book in the background is pretty wild though. Looking forward to next two, I preferred “Toy Story 2” as a kid & the 3rd one… oh boy!

Rupert Purcat

Yes, great old Toy Story. Please do all the movies - they are all enjoyable. Some of your questions will be answered in No 2. The Buzz Lightyear movie was great too. Cheers. Nb my first toy was a matchbox green truck from when I was less than 2. Hobby I am too ashamed to tell anyone is watching youtube movie reactions.

Philipp Roensch

Favorite toy: a stuffed longear owl, such a cute creature, I find owls cooler in general because they have front facing eyes. Hobbies to be embarrased about: I think they call it a nerd if you have too many, but I always embraced that :D I really love movies, I'm at the cinema almost every week, but also collect MTG, Warhammer, Video Games, Boardgames, anything with a rulebook basically. Coming back to this movie after ages, yeah, I never much connected with it. Sure the idea is great and back when the tech was revolutionary. I don't like Woody's character and also don't really feel the whole plastic toys thing, except LEGO. We had so many wooden and tactile stuff still, and actually the Meccano parts from the spider legs. Dunno, it's hopefully just a lukewarm take, at least we never behaved like Sid :D. From the other movies I only heard good things, they just get better. Buzz Lightyear is trash though, pointless backstory in tame sci-fi tropes, that does not even connect with the rest.

Gary Fixler

Where do I go to subscribe for more horse deck facts?

Gary Fixler

My entire life is hobbies. They're, like, my hobby. Here's a partial list, spanning back through childhood: origami/papercraft electronics robotics woodworking amateur dendrology piano/guitar/banjo/flutes/etc. Rubik's Cubes programming of all sorts CNC machining knitting/crochet/spinning CAD design/3D printing collecting (books, yarn, rocks and minerals, etc.) Every hobby I dive way too deep into, usually for a few years, and end up with a pile of books, hundreds of hours of watched videos, meetup groups, trips to conferences, and all kinds of new gear. My current one is stenography, for just over 3 years now. I'm writing this on a Uni steno keyboard. I gave up qwerty about 9 months ago. I'm also currently writing a couple of plugins for it (for Plover, the free/open steno software). Somebody ask me about it so I can reply with a huge info dump 😆

Gary Fixler

The piggy bank is voiced by John Ratzenberger, who played Cliff Clavin, the bar blowhard on Cheers, which was the biggest sitcom for quite a while in the 80s and 90s. He's basically playing that part here, as an in-joke, like when he said (of Buzz's sound effects) "Not like this one! This is a quality sound system. Probably all copper wiring, huh?" Cliff's thing was that he confidently knew everything about everything, but all of his stories were always ridiculously wrong. I just saw an interview with him recently, where he talked about creating the part for himself. He read for another part, but it didn't go well, but on the way out, he asked if they'd cast a bar blowhard yet, and gave them example of what that would sound like (John is actually pretty knowledgeable about a variety of things in real life), and they liked it enough to create the role for him.

Gary Fixler

I was in college for computer animation when this came out, and my entire major basically went on opening day. It was a packed, 700-seat theater, and a few dozen of those seats were us (small school, and small major). It was a very big deal to our department, basically legitimizing our tuition costs 😆 Someone had gotten the Buzz toy, which I think had only come out that day, or that week, so no one had it yet, and while we were waiting for the movie to start, they held it up over their head from their seat in the middle of the theater, and everyone cheered. Then they held their finger up like they were about to press the button, and everyone started shushing each other, until the theater was silent. They pushed the button, and it said—all tinny and quiet—"To infinity, and beyond!" and the theater lost its mind. I'm sure most of the people who weren't us were like "wtf is happening in here?" A number of friends from that major work for Pixar, some for a couple of decades now.

Brien Kliver

Pro wrestling action figures. I had several hundred of them.

Mastervodo

Did Y'all see that Joss Whedon was one of the screenplay writers for this movie?

sagesaria

Hobbies: D&D minis! I have a whole army of them at this point, mostly my D&D party and favorite NPCs we've met that I rendered in heroforge. I love to watch Critical Role while I paint them.

howtocookazombie (Stan)

The only thing people will associate with Terrence Howard in the future will be his ridiculous claim that 1 * 1 equals 2. 😂

Kendal Cowart

Don't listen to that guy, he's just talking nonsense lol, that had nothing to do with the movie flopping. It was a combination of opening the same weekend as Jurassic Park & Top Gun, and also nobody really caring about the premise of the movie. People care about Buzz Lightyear the toy and the rest of the group of Andy's toys. Nobody cares about the character that the toy was made about. That would be like having a movie about the REAL Woody, who's going to see that?

W T

The toy industry is pretty much flourishing across the board, despite electronic media getting its pound of flesh and then some. Toys will never not be enticing, especially to younger kids (who am I kidding, toys are really not an age-specific thing for all napkin math involved). That's not even talking about the various therapeutic avenues you could go with that, both psychologically and physiologically. Stroke patients see great results in regaining motor function kneading different putties or using what boils down to what we usually call "fidget _toys_" - so yeah, the term in itself is about as faceted as "tool" or whatever. Animals love it universally, and that's ultimately what we are, rare exceptions aside.

michael denny

super late here but I had a Popple American football variant. A dog of ours ate his tail, but he survives in a box some 38 years later.

David Lonewolf Wright

This is a "Children's Movie" with the main characters named Woody and Buzz... the same name of Andy's Mom's toys. lol
