In the original film, Rex is first seen when Woody is planning for a staff meeting. Despite his constant fear of rejection, he is a valued member of the gang and considered to be the most 'ferocious' dinosaur toy a kid could ask for in the eyes of both Andy and Bonnie. Largely because of his innocence, he also can show himself to be very gullible, which is especially evident in the Small Fry short, where he was the only one of the toys to believe that Buzz Lightyear had 'shrunk' from contact with the balls in the ball pit when the rest of the toys quickly realized the 'Buzz' that was brought home was an impostor due to his obvious short stature. With his childlike demeanor and lack of self-confidence, Rex is the most innocent of all the toys and shows the greatest desire to be loved and played with.

Despite his fears, he finds happiness and enjoyment in most things one of his favorite pastimes include playing video games with his friends, a hobby in which Rex has shown a fair amount of talent.

He fears being replaced or abandoned, either at the prospect of being thrown away or the arrival of a newer, more ferocious dinosaur toy. Though his vocabulary is fairly strong, he is somewhat absent-minded and tends to cause accidental mayhem due to his size and obliviousness. In the original story pitch for Toy Story, Rex's personality was mostly the same as in the final film (although his reaction to the birthday was even more horror-struck and devastated, where he clung to Slinky while sobbing and yelling that they're 'doomed' mid-sobs), except that he also showed himself to get very angry and vengeful when Woody callously admits to throwing Buzz out of the window on purpose.ĭespite his portrayal as a ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex, Rex is ironically gentle, kind, and caring, and he hates any kind of argument or confrontation. Joss Whedon is credited with the creation of the Rex character. Rex was created as the token dinosaur for Andy's toy collection and has a similar build to the Tyrannosaurus from the Dino-Riders toy-line. Despite his endless worries and insecurities about his small roar, Rex always comes through for his pals.
