## History

### Toy Story

Sid is first seen when he plans to destroy a Combat Carl. When Woody and the others notice this, Buzz decide to teach the naughty boy a lesson since he believes that he is a space ranger. Before Buzz can do that, Bo Peep tells him to get away from it and Woody suggests him to use the laser on him since Sid finally blows up the Combat Carl which cause the toys to duck for cover. The toys were shocked for what Sid did as well as Bo Peep saying the sooner they move away with Andy and his family, the better.

When Woody and Buzz tries to find Andy and his family at Pizza Planet after they were accidentally lost, Sid was also there and when he plays the claw machine, he collects an alien toy which is before noticing Buzz which causes him to be excited. When Sid tries to collect Buzz, Woody tries to take Buzz away from the claw and escape, but the aliens force them to be collected. Woody tries to make them stop but its too late. After getting both Buzz and Woody, Sid says, "Let's go home and play". before chuckling evilly.

After getting Woody and Buzz, Sid goes to his house, where he tosses the alien toy at his dog Scud who chews up the toy. Hannah (who is Sid's sister) shows up which cause Sid to ask her if he did get his package he ordered, to which she replies "I don't know" twice. However, when Sid spots Hannah's doll Janie, he takes it, claiming that the doll is sick. Hannah tries to stop Sid, but he shuts the door, and does an operation on the toy by using his tolls, pretending to be a mad doctor as well as replacing the doll's head with a head of a pterosaur toy. After that, Sid shows this Hannah which cause her to scream and goes to report her mother. Sid lashes out that Hannah is lying and whatever she says is not true. After that, he throws the doll at the ground as well as closing the door.

The next day, Sid tortures Woody by throwing him at the floor as well as using a magnifying glass on Woody's forehead, causing it to be briefly on fire. As Woody is being tortured, Sid asks, "Where are your rebel friends now?" and does a sick laugh, but when his mother tells him that his Pop-Tarts are ready, Sid throws the magnifying glass and runs out to get the pop tarts.

After that, Sid got a rocket named "The Big One". At first, he plans to blow up Woody, but since the latter hid under a milk crate, he couldn't find him. However, Sid steps on Buzz and decides to use the rocket on him, commenting, "I always wanted to put a spaceman into orbit". However, a rainstorm occurs, forcing Sid to delay the blast off.

When the rainstorm is over, Sid takes Buzz with the rocket outside in order to blow him up. Woody tries to save Buzz by having Sid's toys help him and when the plan succeeded. Woody and other toys went outside in order to prevent Sid blowing up Buzz. When that happen, Woody says many of the catchphrases done by his voice box. Sid says that Woody is busted, but the latter proceeds to talk to him, revealing that he is talking to him, causing Sid to be scared. Just then, Sid's toys came by to attack Sid as revenge for torturing them. Woody then creepily rotates his head saying that the toys can see everything which is before saying, "So play ... **nice**". This cause Sid to scream running back to his house.

Sid then tells Hannah that the toys are alive which during that, she takes the doll away from Sid (likely because she believes that Sid will torture it) and when Sid sees the doll, Sid gets scared causing him to go upstairs along with Hannah asking him if he wants to play with Sally.

### Toy Story 3

Sid reappears in the third film where he is grown up and becomes a garbage man. He appears two time in the movie: first, when he is taking out of the trash at Andy's house, and second, when he is at the dump and Andy's toys ride on his dump truck. Since Sid is now grown up, it's not clear if he still remembers that the toys are alive.

## Personality

Sid is a sadistic and cunning kid who regularly enjoys torturing and blowing up toys for fun. He also enjoys bullying and taunting his sister Hannah, as he messes up with her doll Janie's head with a pterosaur head. However, this is because he is unaware that the toys are alive since instead of continuing to torture the toys, he screams and run upstairs. He also shown to be good friends with his pet dog, Scud.

## Appearance

Sid is a slender boy with fair skin, a brown buzz cut, hazel green eyes, and braces. He usually wears a black T-shirt with a white skull, blue jeans and black sneakers. In Toy Story 3, he has a small growing beard and wears a dyed green cap, green goggles with minor effects, headphones, a high visibility vest, and a gray shirt underneath his T-shirt.

## Trivia

* Sid is the very first main antagonist of a Pixar film, because Toy Story was Pixar's very first film. He is also the first main antagonist of a CGI film, because Toy Story was the world's first computer-animated film.
* In a 2016 interview with some of the key animators of Toy Story, they stated that their primary influence for the character Sid was actually one of the animator's long-time childhood friend, Ryan Newbert.
* Sid is the only main antagonist in the Toy Story film series to be a human since the rest of the main antagonists are toys.
* At the climax of Toy Story, Sid becomes the first human as well as the only one who is known to be aware that the toys are alive (although Molly Davis is a debatable example since she appears to forgot that the toys are alive in the sequels).
* When Sid first appears, Rex previously thought he was at summer camp, but Hamn points out that he must've been kicked out early. This may be because of Sid's reckless behavior.
* Sid can be seen as a foil to Andy. Both are kids who live in houses and have lots of toys. However, Andy plays with his toys with proper care, while Sid tortures them and blows them up for fun, and Andy treats his sister with respect, while Sid bullies his sister and not to mention, they both also have pet dogs which Andy has Buster who is a nice dog while Sid has Scud who is a mean dog (although Andy did not get Buster until the end of the film). Another thing is that while Andy went off to college when he grows up, Sid becomes a garbage man.
* There was originally going to be a scene where Sid tortures Buzz by spinning him on a drill bit as well as a longer scene where Sid tortures Woody. According to Lee Unkrich, the reason why those scenes were deleted is because they realized that the audience was going to love Buzz and Woody at that point when they want the audience to really see is them being beaten up and tortured.
