Toy Story of Terror! recap
Toy Story of Terror! (2013) is a Halloween TV special in which Bonnie's toys are picked off one by one at a roadside motel. Angus MacLane directed it for ABC. A flat tyre strands Bonnie and her mother at the Sleep Well motel overnight, and when Mr. Potato Head vanishes, the toys go looking for him. Something takes them one at a time until only Jessie (Joan Cusack), who struggles with a fear of being boxed in, is left. In a bathroom she meets Combat Carl (Carl Weathers) before he is taken too. The culprit is Mr. Jones, an iguana trained by the motel manager, Ron (Stephen Tobolowsky), to steal guests' belongings so he can sell them online. Ron locks Jessie in a glass cabinet with Carl and the other stolen toys, and in the morning he sells Woody and packs him into a box for delivery.
