Toy Story 3 Characters: Bonnie's Toys
This group of Toy Story 3 characters belong to a little girl named Bonnie who attends Sunnyside Daycare. She treats her toys wonderfully and is a toy's ideal child.
Buttercup
Buttercup is Bonnie's white unicorn with a golden mane, tail, hooves and horn with pink heart nostrils. But don't let looks deceive you, Buttercup is a dude! (kind of reminds me of Francis from A Bug's Life.)
He's got a bit of a laid back personality and wry sense of humor when he tells Woody there is no way out of Bonnie's house, but then he says he's "...just kidding. The door's right over there."
Mr. Pricklepants
This Toy Story 3 character is a German-made hedge hog complete with traditional green lederhosen and hat voiced by the talented Timothy Dalton. Mr. Pricklepants takes his job of acting very seriously and he KNOWS he's a premium stuffed toy from the exclusive Waldfreunde imported collection.
Trixie
Trixie is a blue Triceratops dinosaur Toy Story 3 character who appears to be from the same toy line as Rex. Trixie is enthusiastic about the stories Bonnie makes up when she plays with her, as she was when Woody meets them and they're all having tea. Trixie also likes chatting on the Internet, but she's a bit embarrassed when Woody discovers her online conversation and she says it's just another dinosaur down the street. The end credits show Trixie and Rex playing video games together.
Dolly
She's a cute floppy felt doll who has big round eyes, purple hair and wears an orange dress with mismatched buttons. Dolly is a Toy Story 3 character who has a bit of a sarcastic sense of humor and tends to be a bit brainy. She asks Woody if he's planning to keep his current identity because now is the time to change it if he's going to stay.
Peas in a Pod
This is an adorable plush toy that unzips to reveal three green happy-faced peas inside. Their names are Peaty, Peatrice and Peanelope and they are like very small children.
Totoro
Totoro is a famous character from the Studio Ghibli film "My Neighbor Totoro," who makes a cameo appearance in Toy Story 3. He's a big plush toy who doesn't say anything but smiles his famous big grin during the ending credits as he juggles the aliens.
Totoro was cast as one of the Toy Story 3 characters as a tribute to Studio Ghibli, a famous Japanese animation studio, and from John Lasseter's respect and friendship with Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki. Disney also played a huge role in getting Miyazaki's films dubbed into English.
You really should see My Neighbor Totoro and the other Studio Ghibli films. If you love Pixar's imagination and knack for storytelling, you won't be disappointed. Ponyo is their latest release. Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, and Princess Mononoke are all EXCELLENT. OK - back to Toy Story 3 characters!

Chuckles the Clown
Chuckles the Clown is a sad old toy who sounds like a downtrodden old man. He was rescued by Bonny at Sunnyside Daycare and brought to her home, where he stays perched up on a windowsill looking outside.
Chuckles tells Woody his story about Lotso Huggin' Bear and how he turned Sunnyside Daycare into a toy prison. Chuckles used to belong to a little girl named Daisy, along with Lotso and Big Baby. The three did everything together with Daisy, and one day while out on a drive, the family stopped at a rest area. But after lunch, Daisy fell asleep and their parents buckled her into the car but forgot her three toys.
Lotso led the group back to Daisy's house eventually, however, he saw that he had been replaced by an identical Lotso Huggin' Bear. That changed Lotso and he became extremely bitter and angry. Taking Chuckles and Big Baby with him, they left, riding in the dark rain on the back of the Pizza Planet truck.
These Toy Story 3 characters were bumped off the truck in front of Sunnyside Daycare, where Lotso took over and made it into a prison. Chuckles got broken, and Bonnie found him and took him home, but Chuckles tells Woody that the rest of the toys didn't have a chance, especially the new ones.
The ending credits shows a happy beginning for Chuckles. He smiles at long last when he sees that Bonnie drew his smile correctly.
