Who is the green dinosaur toy in Toy Story?

The green dinosaur toy in Toy Story is Rex.

Rex is a large, green plastic Tyrannosaurus rex who belongs to Andy Davis. Although his appearance suggests a fierce monster, Rex is anxious, sensitive, and worried that he is not frightening enough. His nervous personality supplies much of the film’s comic relief and contrasts with the confident heroes he imagines himself to be.

Wallace Shawn provides Rex’s voice in the Toy Story films. In the first movie, Rex worries that Andy may replace him with a more intimidating dinosaur. Buzz Lightyear helps him improve his roar, and Rex later gains confidence when his dinosaur abilities prove useful during the chase involving the moving truck.

Viewers sometimes confuse Rex with Hamm because both are comic members of Andy’s toy group, but Hamm is a pink piggy bank. Slinky is Andy’s extendable spring dog, while Woody is the cowboy doll and the group’s longtime leader. Rex remains one of the franchise’s recurring toys, appearing across the main Toy Story films and related shorts.
