Toy Story wouldn’t feel the same without them 💖 — Some of Toy Story’s most unforgettable characters were brought to life by legends we’ve sadly lost. Their voices helped shape the humor, heart, and personality of Pixar’s most beloved franchise.
• Jim Varney — Voiced Slinky Dog, Woody’s loyal friend known for his kindness, warmth, and unmistakable Southern charm.
• Don Rickles — Voiced Mr. Potato Head, delivering the character’s sarcastic humor, quick insults, and classic comedic timing.
• Estelle Harris — Voiced Mrs. Potato Head, giving her character a loving but hilarious personality that perfectly matched the Potato Head family.
• R. Lee Ermey — Voiced Sarge, the no-nonsense Green Army Man leader who brought military energy and discipline to Andy’s room.
• Ned Beatty — Voiced Lotso, the strawberry-scented bear from Toy Story 3 who became one of Pixar’s most memorable villains.
• Joe Ranft — Voiced Wheezy and Lenny, while also playing a major creative role behind the scenes in Pixar’s storytelling legacy.
These actors gave us characters that still make people laugh, feel nostalgic, and remember childhood in the best way. Their voices live on through Toy Story, and they will always be honored and remembered fondly. 🧸
The track fell silent as hope began to fade. Jockey Kosei Miura stayed beside the injured horse, refusing to walk away. Then, in an unforgettable moment, the horse rose to its feet—and the grandstand erupted in applause. 🐎❤️
A moment that reminded everyone what heart and resilience truly look like.
