Overview[]
Rex is an excitable large, green, plastic Tyrannosaurus rex. Rex suffers from anxiety, an inferiority complex and the concern that he is not scary enough. Although Rex is a toy dinosaur, he dislikes confrontation and is sensitive in nature. He is among the largest of Andy's toys. In the opening scenes of the first and third films, he is described by Andy as Woody's "dinosaur who eats force field dogs", in reference to Slinky Dog.
Trivia[]
- Rick Moranis, Martin Short, Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Rob Schneider and the late Robin Williams were all considered to voice Rex before Wallace Shawn was cast.
- In an early concept art, Rex was originally going to be a stuffed Apatosaurus toy instead of a plastic Tyrannosaurus rex toy.
