Everyone knows me at work as the Disney guy, having worked for both Walt Disney World and Disney Interactive in the past. My family loves everything Disney and we’ve been visiting the theme parks since I was a kid. This includes my sweet-as-pie grandparents. Man, are they a hoot. For them, Toy Story is a bit more obscure (they’ve seen some but not all of the films), so I thought it would be funny to have them guess the names of some of the characters from throughout the 4 films.
Paw Paw Terry and Juju are my grandparents on my mom’s side, and Granny and Paw Paw Johnny are my parents on my dad’s side. It’s really cute because they’re all best friends so it was fun to get to do this project with all of them so they can make fun of each other.
Here are their guesses.
Woody
Paw Paw Terry: Bob
Juju: Woody
Granny: Woody
Paw Paw Johnny: Woody
Paw Paw Terry was pretty confident about Bob, too.
Forky
Paw Paw Terry: Snowflake
Juju: Spoony
Granny: Gumby
Paw Paw Johnny: Casper
I almost want to give Juju half a point for “Spoony”.
Buzz Lightyear
Paw Paw Terry: Astro
Juju: Buzz Lightning
Granny: Bud Lightyear
Paw Paw Johnny: Buzz Lightyear
God y’all were all so close (well, except Paw Paw Terry, who thought his name was “Astro” because of the ride called BUZZ LIGHTYEAR Astro Blasters). Paw Paw Johnny takes the lead!
Bo Peep
Paw Paw Terry: Betty
Juju: Little Bo Peep
Granny: Belle
Paw Paw Johnny: Little Bo Peep
Guess she’s little now.
Duke Caboom
Paw Paw Terry: Evel Knievel
Juju: Canadian Man
Granny: Evel Knievel
Paw Paw Johnny: Evel Knievel
Yo, Keanu Reeves should play Evel Knievel.
Gabby Gabby
Paw Paw Terry: Mary Lou
Juju: Baby
Granny: Chatty Cathy
Paw Paw Johnny: Betty Boop
Juju was like “Baby” and I was like “Just…. Baby?” “Yup.”
Jessie
Paw Paw Terry: Olive
Juju: Howdy-Doody
Granny: Becky
Paw Paw Johnny: Woody’s Girlfriend, Patty
Sorry, Paw Paw Johnny, this cowgirl is into Space Rangers (especially when you turn on his Spanish mode).
Giggle McDimples
Paw Paw Terry: Cabby Sue
Juju: Lucy
Granny: Cindy
Paw Paw Johnny: Lucy (from Peanuts)
I’m honestly shocked no one said Polly Pocket.
Trixie
Paw Paw Terry: T-Rex George
Juju: Blue Dinosaur
Granny: Rhino
Paw Paw Johnny: Rhino
SHE’S NOT EVEN A T-REX OR A RHINO
Ducky & Bunny
Paw Paw Terry: Peter Rabbit & Chickity Chick
Juju: Brer Rabbit & Tweety Dee
Granny: Chicky & Bunny
Paw Paw Johnny: Robby & Puddy
It was a good guess, Granny. A really good (obvious) guess. Kudos.
Lotso
Paw Paw Terry: Raspberry Bear
Juju: Pink Bear
Granny: Roland
Paw Paw Johnny: Woofy
Alright, Paw Paw Terry I give you .001 points for guessing that Lotso smells like fruit (albeit you guessed the wrong fruit).
FINAL TALLY
Paw Paw Terry: .001/12
Juju: 2/12
Granny: 2/12
Paw Paw Johnny: 3/12
Congrats Paw Paw Johnny! By some strand of luck, you’ve won by 1 point! I’d say it’s time to test your luck on your iPad Casino game.
I hope y’all enjoyed this as much as I did. I hope this inspired my grandparents to catch up on their Toy Story lore, too. Hit us up on Twitter if you enjoyed this and would want to see more of my grandparents being wholesome as heck.
Also, we have a sweet Toy Story item in this month’s Loot Crate DX, so you should definitely check that out!
