Toy Story Quotes

Context

This line is spoken by the Squeeze Toy Aliens (voiced by Jeff Pidgeon) in the film Toy Story (1995) directed by John Lasseter.

Out of all religions, both real and fictional, the worship of the Claw is one of the most fascinating. Plastic green aliens and one delusional, laser-wielding spaceman think that a claw game can bring them some kind of salvation—or at least a ride back home to Buzz Lightyear's home planet so he can fight. Boy, are they wrong.

The claw doesn't transport Buzz, Woody, and their little green friends to galaxies far far away, but to the play-thing dungeon that is Sid's house. There, they're tortured for his pleasure, and they almost end up being blown to smithereens.

Thankfully, the characters of Toy Story just gaze at the abyss and don't end up hanging out there and end up safe and happy with their original owner, Andy. Not even the deity that is the Claw could get in their way.
