Thanks. I'll take a look.

Toy Story is great fun. Definately worth a look.
Slink, ie. slinky dog, a toy dog whose head and hind legs are joined by
a spring. Loyal friend to Woody.
Potato, ie. Mr Potato Head, a plastic toy whose facial features 'peg'
onto his potato body (there's a Mrs Potato Head in Toy Story 2).
Woody, one of the film's main protagonists. A wooden cowboy doll. 
Favourite toy of the young boy Andy.
And for 2.4 ... Buzz (Lightyear) perhaps?
