When the guy from Al's Toy Barn steals Woody from the yard sale and Buzz is chasing him the car the guy is driving is blue but when he enters the city the car is yellow. [The car is actually aqua, or bluish-green. It changes color frequently from light blue to a greenish tinge to a slight yellow during the film depending on the color and brightness and direction of the light that strikes it, exactly as a real car that color would do. Mostly, however, it remains bluish-green.]
There is a massive car accident in the middle of downtown. This happens when the Toys are crossing the street to get to Al's Toy Barn. The toys are only in the store for a short time. When they leave the store, The accident is all cleared. An accident of the scope shown in the movie would take all day to clean up. [The toys arrive at the store very early in the morning (the store isn't open for business yet, and the Cleaner, who was told to show up "first thing in the morning", hasn't arrived at Al's apartment yet). By the time the toys leave the store, the color of the lighting, the increase in general ambient light, and the positioning of the shadows indicate that it's much later in the day. Much of the time spent searching for Woody (and the time the Cleaner spent fixing Woody up) was time-compressed - a common filmmaking technique.]
When Woody kicks the record player up to "78", the stylus moves far across the record, yet the song continues uninterrupted. [The song does not continue "uninterrupted". The instant the needle jumps to the new groove, the music shifts to the instrumental theme from the beginning of the song - which is right where it should be since the stylus moved further out on the record. You can easily hear the scratching sound that it makes as it skips to the new location.]
In the first movie, Andy's mom is a brunette with long hair. In the second movie, she has short blond hair. Even if she cut and dyed her hair, her face appears entirely different between both movies. [Her hair IS cut and dyed, as is evidenced by the fact that you can still see the dark roots showing. As for her facial features, that's a matter of personal opinion. The structure and shape looks identical to me. It's likely that the different hairstyle makes the face APPEAR different; this is a common phenomenon that hairdressers use to their advantage.]
Do you really think the Super Nintendo could generate a fully 3D alien terrain, a steel shaft with dazzling light effects, and a tall steel tower for a Buzz Lightyear video game? [No, but the idea is that the first-time viewer thinks the movie begins with Buzz's quest actually happening, hence the "shock" of seeing him killed at the start of the movie. A more realistic videogame picture would have given the game away too soon.]
At the end when the gang get home to Andy's room, it's night time and the luggage trolley they drove home in is outside the neighbour's house. The next morning it's still there. But we see an ad with the 'chicken man' looking very sad because he lost Woody and the others. How could he have gone to Tokyo, realised the dolls were missing, then zoomed back to Tri County to do the add the next day? While saving Woody, the toys explicitly say that Andy is returning home the following morning. They must have made it in one night, or they would have missed Andy's return. [At the end when the gang get home to Andy's room, it's night time and the luggage trolley they drove home in is outside the neighbour's house. The next morning it's still there. But we see an ad with the 'chicken man' looking very sad because he lost Woody and the others. How could he have gone to Tokyo, realised the dolls were missing, then zoomed back to Tri County to do the add the next day? [Who says the toys were able to get back home to Andy's place in just one night? It could have taken them much longer than that, particularly since they were driving a baggage cart which most likely has a top speed of only about 10 miles per hour, and also since they would probably have to drive only at night when the streets were deserted to avoid attracting too much attention.] [We're told by Slinky - -in Al's apartment, after Woody has decided to go to Japan - -that "Andy's coming home tonight." Near the end of the film, in a nighttime shot, we see Andy return home to find all the toys waiting. Ergo, everything in between did occur the same day.]]
In the first film Mr. Potato Head has no compartment to put his accessories in, but in the second film, he has one. [They didn't show the compartment in the first one.]
When Woody tries to retrieve his arm from Al, the TV 'magically' turns on, Al wakes up and jumps out of his couch, but wouldn't we hear some crunching because he just jumped on a lot of cheese puffs? [The cheese puffs breaking are really a very quiet sound; they only sound loud when there's no other sound around, such as when Woody is sneaking. Whe Al wakes up, there's Al clumping around plus the noise of the video that woke him, and it's unlikely that some cheese puffs breaking would be heard over that.]

It would be impossible for just one of Mr. Potato Head's feet to be stuck in the gum(in the street crossing scene). Feet for Mr. Potato head are made in one piece, as shown when he tries to put on his "angry eyes." [If you look closely, Mr Potato Head's feet are always separate during the movie - when he puts them on after they enter Al's apartment, he uses both hands, one either side... This is just one of the many compromises the film-makers had to make to ensure reasonable movement of the characters. He couldn't have walked at all with joined-up feet.]
On the Prospector's box in the upper right, it says he can say 9 different things by pulling his pull-string. Funny thing is, he doesn't have one. [Sure he does. The white ring is visible every time we get a rear view.]
When Al finds Woody in the yard sale and tries to buy it, Andy's mom says it's a family toy and takes it away from Al. Then she locks Woody in the box where she's keeping the money. Al creates a diversion and then steals Woody from the box. Not only does Andy's mom not realise that Woody has been stolen, but she is not even surprised when at the end of the film Andy shows her he has fixed Woody. Didn't she see that the box had been opened and Woody had disappeared? Why wasn't she surprised when Woody reappeared in Andy's bedroom? Not to mention the mysterious appearance of 5 new toys that hadn't been there before... [We don't see any of Andy's mom after the yard sale until the very end of the film. It's reasonable to assume that she DID wonder where he went and was curious about how he turned up again. As for the "mysterious appearance of 5 new toys", once again, we never see Andy's mom's reaction to the new toys. She would probably have been rather confused as to how they got there, but we simply never see her reaction.]
When Woody and Jessie jump off the airplane and are saved by Buzz, you see that shortly after they get off, the plane takes off. In the next few seconds another plane comes in for a landing. The tire flies over the heads of the characters and then lands. It is impossible for a plane to be landing and stopping before the end of the runway where the other plane took off just moments before. [Depends on the runway layout and the airport layout. Some airports (LAX and Logan for example) have very long single stretches of runway separated by strips that crisscross them. The landing plane could have come down short of the "starting" point for the next runway but would still have plenty of space ahead to stop.]
When Woody tries to get his arm back from a sleeping Al, the main light source is the TV. We know this because the scene fades into the TV ending a program and staying on with Al sleeping. Woody just about has his arm, and the same TV suddenly gets turned on again without ever being turned off. [That's because when Woody was first walking over to Al, there was a program ending. After it stopped there was just snow. Right when he was about to get his arm was where Pete came out of his box, and he hit play which turned on a video tape of Woody's Round Up. So the TV never had to be turned off]
What kind of electrical outlets does Andy have in his room? It's best seen when Bo-Peep, her sheep, and a troll enter the room at the beginning. The outlet has holes for the upper two rectangle pieces on a plug, but not for the lower circular piece. What's supposed to be plugged into one of those? He has a lamp plugged into one near his bed... weird. [This may not be a common thing but it is realistic in homes. Many appliances don't need to be grounded, so some outlets are the basic two prong, without the ground hole. ]
When the guy (Big Al?) faxes Woody's photo to the potential buyer in Japan, he puts the paper in the fax machine with the photo facing up (so we can see it) - faxes are sent face down - the photo couldn't have been sent. [Some fax machines do work that way]
When Buzz opens Al's trunk it opens but, in the 2nd shot of the car the trunk is closed. [The car bounces so hard that the trunk closes.]
In the scene where Woody realises he was "Famous" in the '50's, there is a "Life" magazine dated January 12, 1957 on the ground that has the headline, "Sputnik - 1st photos revealed" on it, but Sputnik was not launched until October 4th, 1957. The reason that this date was used is it is the director John Lassiter's birthday. [Could be photos of Sputnik being built].
When the real Buzz is chasing after the others to Al's apt he has a traffic cone over him, but is still able to notice the open vent as he runs by. [He doesn't notice the open vent, he notices the other toys' footprints in the dirt].
