Capítulo 5 de 6 · 6'41"
Woody and Buzz sneak into Pizza Planet, where a cult of toy aliens worships the vending claw. The surface joke is Buzz's sci-fi sincerity. Underneath, the trip is slipping out of Woody's control, and the claw is about to decide who gets taken to Sid's. "The claw chooses who will go and who will stay."
Woody Warns About Sid's House
Stranded after leaving Andy's house, Woody and Buzz hitch a ride on the Pizza Planet truck. Inside the arcade, Buzz hails the aliens as fellow space travelers, but when they reach the rocket-shaped claw machine, the claw lifts Buzz and drops him into Sid's prize basket, dragging Woody along with him.
The Pizza Planet stop looks like a detour, but it decides the second act. Buzz spends the scene treating a delivery truck as a spaceship, and the aliens feed that belief back to him, chanting "The claw is our master" to a vending machine. Woody knows how fragile Buzz's fantasy is: "Once we go into Sid's house, we won't be coming out." That line turns the comedy cold. What felt like an adventure is really two lost toys moving toward a house where toys get destroyed, and Woody is now responsible for the friend he once resented.

Siguiente · 06Snap out of itLa escena: Woody Rescues a Broken BuzzHe believes the delivery truck is a spaceship that will return to its port of origin. Woody plays along to keep him calm, but the plan backfires when the truck drives off with both of them on board.
Buzz is standing with the aliens when the claw descends, and his wings make him an easy target. Woody dodges, but Buzz is lifted out and dropped into Sid's prize basket.
It's the aliens' chant about the vending-machine claw they worship. To them the claw is a godlike force that randomly decides their fate, which is why it's funny when it actually picks Buzz.
They're squeeze-toy aliens who worship the claw and repeat whatever they hear. Buzz greets them as a fellow space ranger, and moments later the claw scoops them into Sid's basket along with him.
