[Toy Story] Why did Buzz act like a toy around Andy if he thinks he's a Space ranger?
gpt
Toy instinct. A better question would be why the Buzz Lightyear line has this delusion in the first place. We never hear of other toys believing they're anything but toys (except Forkie, but he was a special circumstance). Woody didn't know what the hell he was until Stinky Pete showed him the show.

And what determines whether a toy can even talk? Why do Slinky and Hamm get speech while Bullseye and RC only make noises?

And why are only some toys even alive? Lincoln logs and the rubber ball were literally just toys. But Sid put some Barbie legs on a fucking fishing rod and it was clearly wandering around and thinking. Speak and Spell was alive, but Battleship wasn't.

And how did Bo Peep work at all? She was a freaking lamp, molded from porcelain. How does she get any articulation in her joints? How is she able to separate from the lamp base? Does glue just stop being glue when a kid isn't looking? 

And if the rest of the toys are able to move around under the power of kids' love or whatever, why did RC's battery matter? Why couldn't he just run indefinitely?

And going even further with this, assuming you subscribe to the Pixar shared universe theory, do the toys all have little emotion avatars in their brains? Do they work the same way as human emotion avatars? Did those emotion avatars get shared back and forth when Sid was mix-and-matching toys?

Hey, maybe it's those emotion avatars that are making Buzz shut down! Maybe there's a failsafe in their little control panel that human controls don't have. Maybe all toys have a "Kid Island" in their heads.
