To infinity and beyond! This week, it’s Toy Story trivia.
We had a Pixar episode way back last year, but it’s time to dive into the film that made Pixar what it is and its three sequels. The original Toy Story movie is a masterpiece that changed how we look at computer animated movies and animated movies in general. We laughed, we cried, and we cheered for Woody, Buzz, and all of Andy’s toys.
What are your thoughts on the Toy Story series? Feel free to leave us a comment to tell us your favorite Toy Story movie, character, or moment. Or, maybe it’s the music that gets you.
Do your best and, when you’re done, plop the family down for a nice movie marathon for the holidays.
Also, when you’re done with Toy Story trivia, zip down to the short listener survey at the bottom of the page. That helps us keep the show interesting and the difficulty level ‘just right’ for you.
You can also drop us a line here or on Facebook or Twitter to send your feedback and suggestions for future episodes. We’re always on the lookout for new ideas to improve the show.
Your clue for next week’s episode:
What secret agent was named after an ornithologist?

Episode Introduction
To infinity and beyond? Why not.
Hey gang, this is episode 95 of the dorky geeky nerdy trivia podcast. I’m your host, Brian Rollins. This week, we’re diving into four of the most popular animated movies of all time, the Toy Story franchise.
If you’re new around these parts, welcome. We’re a weekly trivia show with thirty questions on a given topic. Every week, a new topic and new questions. Think of us as your own private trivia game. Play by yourself with a group of friends (while still remaining socially distant). One person wrote in and said they were playing the show via a screenshare on Zoom with their family.
You can find out more at dorkygeekynerdy.com. I’ll also have a link to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. If you want to do something to honor Alex Trebek, please consider donating. I like to think it’s a way to let his family know how much Alex meant to us. You can find links to donate at PanCan.org.
I think that covers just about everything, so let’s get going with the show.
