Small Fry is the Pixar short film that features Toy Story characters in a fast-food restaurant. The 2011 short begins when Buzz Lightyear is accidentally left behind at a fast-food venue and encounters a support group for discarded kids’ meal toys.
The story centers on a miniature fast-food version of Buzz who wants to escape the restaurant and experience life outside. The full-sized Buzz must deal with the confusion while the smaller toy attempts to take his place. The premise expands the Toy Story idea beyond Andy’s household and shows a different community of toys.
Small Fry is sometimes confused with Hawaiian Vacation or Partysaurus Rex, other Toy Story shorts. Hawaiian Vacation follows toys visiting Bonnie’s bedroom, while Partysaurus Rex focuses on Rex during bath time. Small Fry is specifically associated with the fast-food restaurant and its tiny toy group.
Angus MacLane directed the short, which was released with a theatrical feature and later included in Pixar short-film collections.
