The mutant toys in Toy Story (1995)

Sid from Toy Story was a little brat who took sick pleasure in torturing toys—tearing innocent playthings apart and reassembling them into Frankenstein-like monstrosities that should never be mixed and matched. He often stole toys from his baby sister’s collection or, even worse, killed them in explosions and sent them off on rockets.

Babyface resembles Pinhead from Hellraiser—a baby doll’s head with a missing eye placed on top of a crab-like body made from Erector set pieces. Legs is made of two fashion Barbie legs attached to a toy fishing rod (a not-so-subtle adult reference to a “hooker”). Ducky is a duck-head PEZ dispenser with a baby doll torso and a plunger bottom. There are many others from Sid’s freakish experiments.

These abominable creations are quite scary, especially for younger audiences, but they redeem themselves eventually when they help rescue Woody and Buzz. In the end, Sid’s mutant toys prove that there’s more to them than meets the eye—it’s what’s on the inside that counts.
