| “ | I didn't throw you away, your kid did! Ain't one kid ever loved a toy really! Chew on that when you're at the dump! | ” |
| ~ Lotso's monologue as the garbage truck approaches. |
Lots-o'-Huggin'-Bear is the main antagonist of Toy Story 3.
He is a talking teddy bear who, after accidentally being abandoned by Daisy, would become a spiteful tyrant who believed that all toys deserved to be thrown away, going as far as to actively abuse and imprison the other toys in Sunnyside Daycare and even being willing to kill anyone who dared try and defy his order.
He was voiced by the late Ned Beatty.
Actions and Characteristics[]
- He is by far the most heinous character in the entire Toy Story franchise, as his abandonment of Andy's toys to die at the incinerator is the only action in any of the four films to pass the baseline, with Sid Phillips, the Prospector, Al McWhiggin, Emperor Zurg, and Gabby Gabby having nothing remotely resembling a Moral Event Horizon.
- He is the most powerful character in the series, having access to an entire Daycare full of resources, putting him on par with Al.
- He's shown to be rather intelligent and manipulative, with him introducing himself as a kind figure who simply wanted to help toys as opposed to abusing them despite being the exact opposite, not to mention how he tricks Woody and Buzz into rescuing him from the landfill's large shredding mechanism only to abandon them to be burned by the incinerator immediately after getting himself to safety.
- While many villains in the franchise have shown some form of sympathy or care for others, Losto has shown no care for anybody but himself, being a cruel Bad Boss to his own minions, which caused them to only follow him out of fear and turned against him once they realize his truly cruel nature. While he does have tragic backstory of being abandoned, he merely uses it as a excuse for his actions and his lies as Woody points out.
- Even besides his lack of care for others and sympathy, he’s the only one of the four main antagonists to lack any sort of redeeming qualities or comedic moments whatsoever, even Sid Phillips shows some respect and care for his dog Scrud and has lots of comedic moments, which detract from his villainy.
- Out of every villain the entire series, Lotso is the only one who ever came close to straight up killing the main characters, via abandoning them to be burned alive by the incinerator. Even the Prospector intended for Geri to fix Woody despite wanting him to go to Japan in pieces.
- While he only appeared in only one movie, he left the most impact and influence by showing Andy's toys a different perspective that not every kid is like Andy who took good care of his toys, this even lead to Woody to realize that once kids grow up they become less interested in toys (although the Prospector talked to him about that years prior), which is why he wrote the note to donate his toys.
