The tin man band is known as Tinny and he is the main
character in Tin Toy, the 1988 short from Pixar. The cartoon also features an
infant known as Billy and a variety of other toys. In the short, Tinny is
thrilled at be played with by Billy, but soon realizes just how rough Billy can
be with toys. After fleeing under the couch, Tinny finds a collection of other toys
that are also frightened by Billy. Billy falls and hurts himself and begins to
cry, while the other toys continue to cower under the couch, Tinny finds
himself ashamed and feeling sorry for Billy. He rolls out and cheers Billy up,
who in a fit of giggles throws Tinny and instantly becomes more interested in
the toy container than Tinny himself. An irritated Tinny chases after Billy,
trying to get his attention back, as the cartoon comes to a close.

While it may just be a discarded picture book in Andy’s Toy
Story Midway Mania room, Tin Toy is a unique and critical juncture in the
history of Pixar, and is well deserving of a nod in the attraction!

This is so cool on two levels: Awesome tribute AND giant Little Golden Book! Love the way the book looks aged and well-loved.
On a side note, my family was at Disneyland when we heard Dreamworks was buying Classic Media, which includes the Golden Books. We bought some of the Disney & Pixar LGBs right there in the parks...y'know, just in case their future in the Golden Book library is now shakey...
