• Continuity: When RC hits the corkboard, the pins stick into the desk. When the globe rolls after Buzz, the pins are gone
  
  

• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The license plate on Andy's mother's car reads "A 111" on the front but "A 113" on the rear - this is an in-joke (see trivia).
  
  
• Continuity: The bulbs in the string of Christmas lights disappear for a while.

• Continuity: The burn mark on Woody's forehead disappears.
  
  
• Continuity: The "Improvised Interrogation Handbook" that Woody hides under is visible next to him while he is trapped under the crate but disappears when Buzz begins to help. It's clearly gone in the close-up scene in which Woody begins to push the crate.
  
  
• Continuity: The lever that lowers the ramp on the moving truck changes from black to red.
  
  
• Continuity: The ramp disappears when RC is tossed into the truck, and then it reappears when Buzz and Woody fly past.
  
  
• Continuity: After Buzz tackles Woody on Andy's bed (to protect him from the strange lifeforms), the laser on his forearm is activated without him pushing the button on his bicep - during the rest of the movie, he pushes the button on his bicep to activate the laser.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: After Buzz tackles Woody on Andy's bed, and Buzz meets the rest of the toys in Andy's room, there is a wide shot of the bed. In this shot, the little light that is Buzz's "laser" (on his right forearm) is missing.
  
  
• Continuity: In the beginning of the movie when Andy takes his baby sister out of the crib, he lowers the crib side to get her out. He does not put the side back up, but in the next shot the crib side is back up.
  
  
• Continuity: The length of "lasso" of lights change length from scene to scene: - 1. When Woody stumbles out of closet, the Christmas light is only as long as Woody is tall. - 2. Same light is long enough for Woody to hide in its coil when he calls Hannah. - 3. When Woody and Buzz head to Sid's room, the coil is much smaller so that Woody can carry over his shoulder (already documented as goof). - 4. The same coil is long enough to span from Sid's bedroom window to Andy's bedroom window (with a driveway in between).
  
  
• Continuity: The coiled "lasso" of Christmas lights that was outside Hannah's bedroom disappears when Woody and Buzz walk out from Hannah's bedroom. It reappears again as much smaller coil and right by the door in the next shot showing Hannah's doorway.
  
  
• Continuity: When the RC car runs out of batteries, Buzz drops the remote control. That remote disappears from the street when Woody lights the rocket.
  
  
• Continuity: In some scenes, the mother's mini-van is shown to have a sun-roof; in others, there is no sun-roof
  
  
• Continuity: When Andy puts Woody and Buzz on the desk, there is no Magic 8 Ball - but a second later the Magic 8 Ball appears right next to Woody.
  
  
• Continuity: When Woody prepares to send out the troops and speaks with the sergeant, the sergeant has a pistol in his right hand. In the next shot it is gone.
  
  
• Continuity: At the gas station, the reflection of the moon in Buzz's helmet is illuminated on the right side, which implies a real moon illuminated on the left side. Yet when we look at the moon over Buzz's shoulder we see that it's illuminated on the right.
  
  
• Continuity: When Buzz and Woody are in the gas station, the close up shot of Woody shows the moon over his right shoulder as a crescent shaped like the letter "C", but backwards as if in a mirror. When the shot changes to Buzz, the moon's reflection in his helmet is also shaped like a backward facing "C" instead of a forwards facing one.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: Near the beginning, when Woody is on the bed, a rendering error occurs when, as he gets up, his left hand passes through his face.
  
  
• Continuity: When Hannah sets down Buzz's arm, which is in turn holding the teapot, the teapot is pointing towards Buzz. When Woody enters the room it is now pointing away from Buzz.
  
  
• Continuity: When the Toy soldiers are parachuting downstairs we see their parachutes, but in the next scene when the rest of the toy soldiers slide down on the jump rope the parachutes are gone.
  
  
• Continuity: When Buzz is sitting on the floor of Sid's room, he is wearing his "Mrs. Nesbitt" apron. As Sid's toys converge on Buzz, the apron is gone but is tossed away an instant later while the toys work on him.
  
  
• Continuity: After Woody realizes he's a lost toy, he starts towards Buzz, when a truck starts coming straight for them. Woody lays down, and is nearly crushed by the rear wheels of the truck's cab. The front wheels should have crushed him.
  
  
• Continuity: While preparing to escape from Sid's room, several of the locks on Sid's door are still closed/locked in one shot, but are unlocked when the escape begins.
  
  
• Continuity: As the aliens tell Buzz about their "master", Woody can be seen behind them, both hands on the rim of the exit chute. In the very next shot, Woody has his left hand on his forehead.
  
  
• Continuity: Buzz's laser is located on top of his forearm. However, when he lifts and holds onto his foot to show the others that Andy inscribed his name, his laser is on his inner arm.
  
  
• Continuity: Continuously during the staff meeting in the beginning of the movie, the spokes on the painted wheels of the toy chest move from the left dot to the right dot and back.
  
  
• Continuity: In the scene when the troops are warning the toys that Andy is coming up to the room, it shows Woody standing next to the baby monitor. It then shows a "panned out" scene of all the toys running to find a place to hide, and the monitor is no longer there. Next scene shows Woody standing next to the monitor again.
  
  
• Continuity: "Legs" and "Ducky" go into the air vent of Sid's house at the beginning of the rescue, but when they go to the garden they come out the drain pipe which would be attached to the outside of the roof not coming from inside the house anywhere near the air vent.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Buzz and Woody are trying to get back into the moving lorry, Woody opens the boxes of Andy's toys in search of R.C. All the toys react to having the box opened by shielding their eyes and commenting on it. However there was no guarantee that it was a toy opening the box and therefore they could have just revealed their ability to talk/move to either a removal man or any member of Andy's family.
  
  
• Continuity: After a car passes by, extinguishing the fumes, the match disappears when Woody crouches to cry without ever seeing him put it down.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: While the staff meeting When Mr. Potato Head Does the Kiss-My-Ass joke, a rendering error occurs when he reaches to his mouth his hands passes through his mouth
  
  
• Continuity: Toward the end of the movie when Woody opens the moving van door and is hanging on it you can clearly see in the background Scud trying to get Buzz from underneath the car, but right after Woody spots the box he needs to look in we are shown a scene of Scud struggling with Buzz who is at this point thrown under the car.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The baby monitor used by the soldiers was used incorrectly: they took the receiver section with them, leaving the transmitter behind.
  
  
• Factual errors: When "Legs" and "Ducky" remove the porch light fixture to ring the doorbell for the "escape", they pull the fixture up through the hole in the ceiling. They are also able to lower it back through afterward. You would be unable to do that with a real fixture of that sort, as housing would be bigger than the hole so it could be attached to it.
  
  
• Factual errors: Several toys used in the movie are not to scale with the other toys. For instance, "Mike" is much larger than a Mr. Potato Head.
  
  
• Continuity: When Woody is being pulled away from the Lorry by Scud, the distinct sound is heard of something, presumably Woody, tearing. Yet Woody is not torn for the rest of the movie.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Sarge looks through his binoculars for the first time, they are upside down.
