I just can't get over this now. If Buzz sincerely believed he was not a toy throughout the first half of Toy Story, why did he act like one when Andy was around? It just blows my mind how this is overlooked.

"The Naxxramas Warrior. Eternal slayer of the Orcs."
I don't think 5 year olds are supposed to think about these kinds of things.
Maybe it's not voluntary. Maybe it's in toy DNA to go inert when a human is in line-of-sight.
I'm more concerned with how a toy in the toy story universe becomes a living thing. What "qualifies" it for life? Things like rubber balls and globes don't come to life. How are "toy souls" distributed? When do they come to life in the manufacturing process? And how long has this been happening for? Since people have been making toys?
And then think about someone like Sid. The kid was already clearly messed up and unhappy. Now he's also the only person in the world that knows that toys are alive. No one else would ever believe him. He'd be totally and 100% paranoid at all times that inanimate objects were watching and judging him, with no one to go to to overcome the issue.
And then, hey, think of other pixar movies, like Monsters University. At the time of Monster's inc, they thought that humans were toxic, and that anything they touched was potentially lethal. Yet, years prior in the events of monster's university when Mike and Sully are trapped at the summer camp in the human world, they extensively utilize human-world objects to set their trap.
Of course then I remember they're just nice kids movies that don't need such amounts of undue thought put into their fantasy world.

Well, I'm not familiar enough with Toy Story to know who Sid is. Is that the kid who likes to melt toy soldiers in the first movie? He can eventually see toys come to life?
Yeah, Sid is the kid in the first movie that messes with the toys. The toys come to life in front of him to rescue Buzz and stop him from torturing toys. He is the only person in the Toy Story universe that has seen toys alive. There plan seems to have worked in the first movie, by Toy Story 3 you see him again grown up working as a trash man and looking happy, so no long term psychological problems from seeing the toys alive:
Another fun Toy Story fact: Buzz and Woody are the same names as Andy's mom's toys.

Buzz's priority is to play with his owner first, kill Zerg later. Go rewatch Toy Story 2.
Never thought about it, still don't really care honestly. Nothing could ruin Toy Story for me.
I think we're overanalyzing a kids movie folks. Just roll with it and enjoy the damn movie.
