Toy Story Toons: Small Fry is a 2011 Pixar computer animated short directed by Angus MacLane. It premiered with the theatrical release of The Muppets on November 23, 2011. Small Fry is the second short in the Toy Story Toons series, based on the characters from the Toy Story feature films. The short involves Buzz getting trapped at a fast food restaurant, where there is a support group for discarded kids' meal toys from over the years, with a kids' meal toy version of Buzz taking his place.

Plot

At fast food chicken restaurant Poultry Palace, Bonnie receives a Zurg belt buckle as her kids meal toy, much to her dismay, due to the restaurant running out of Mini-Buzz Lightyear toys. In a nearby display cabinet, a Mini-Buzz Lightyear complains they will never be played with to a Mini-Zurg, who prefers to stay. After eating, Bonnie goes to play in the ball pit with Rex and Buzz Lightyear, whom she brought along. Seizing a chance to be played with, Mini-Buzz climbs into the ball pit and knocks out Buzz, taking his place when Bonnie's mother packs them in her bag. Mini-Buzz successfully fools Rex into thinking he is the real Buzz and that he was shrunk by the plastic in the ball pit, though when they return home, the other toys instantly realize he is an imposter.

Meanwhile, Buzz wakes up at the restaurant whilst it is closed and tries to escape. Whilst doing so, he falls through a gap in the air vents and into a storage room where a support group for abandoned fast food toys is being held, lead by Queen Neptuna. The support group think Buzz is another victim of abandonment and he is forced to take part in the meeting. During a reenactment therapy session, Buzz meets Gary Grappling Hook, a member of the group, and uses him to escape.

Back at Bonnie's house, the other toys demand Mini-Buzz to reveal Buzz's whereabouts, and then begin devising a plan to break into Poultry Palace and save him. However, Buzz soon finds his way home and returns, confronting Mini-Buzz about his behaviour. Mini-Buzz is then seen at the support group opening up to the others, with Buzz now accompanying him as his sponsor.

In a post-credits scene, Mini-Zurg is left with the electronic belt buckle as his sole companion much to his delight.
