Okay, I made a bit of a boo-boo in my last removal; a user can't necessarily make one of these every two days, they can only do it once their previous one has concluded, so that they only have one out at a time. Just clarifying that. Regardless, my last removal proposal has already concluded, so yup, I'm already proceeding with the next one. There's a lot of cleanup to be done, so I'm going to keep making these as frequently as possible until at least the Toy Story characters are properly sorted out.
On a side note, due to changing my username since posting this, for some weird reason, you can't see the votes anymore. If you want to see them, and by extension, the proof that this was approved, follow the redirect here.
What's the work?[]
Toy Story 2 is, of course, the second installment of the critically acclaimed Toy Story series from 1999, produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. This time around, Woody is kidnapped by a greedy toy collector, with Buzz and several of Andy Davis' other toys heading out to locate and rescue him. However, in the meantime, Woody discovers that this toy collector happens to be collecting all of the characters that were featured in an old show that was about him called Woody's Roundup and plans to take them all to a museum in Japan to put them in a display for profit. This ends up leading him to quite a dilemma, especially since his anxiety with regards to Andy losing interest in him and throwing him out is at an all-time high thanks to his arm ripping while being played with. So while his friends set out to rescue him, he must make an important choice; live a more normal life being loved, even if it will, naturally, end eventually, or last forever, but without experiencing the love of a child or seeing his friends anymore?
Who is he and what does he do?[]
Wheezy is a squeaky toy penguin that Andy used to play with. However, his squeaker broke a long time ago, and Andy's mom never bothered to fix it, so he was left on a shelf to collect dust. Right after being discovered by Woody, Andy's mom collects him when gathering older objects to use for a yard sale. Woody, being Woody, feels bad for him and heads out with Andy's dog Buster to rescue him. While he succeeds in sending Buster back upstairs with Wheezy to Andy's room, this is what leads to him being discovered and stolen by Al McWhiggin to complete the Woody's Roundup gang. Since he's not one of the toys that goes to rescue Woody, he isn't seen again until the end of the film after Woody's been rescued, and decides to return with Jessie and Bullseye, who, after some convincing, decide it's worth it to experience the love of a child and being played with again as opposed to living forever without it. In the meantime, Wheezy reveals that Andy's mom finally decided to fix his squeaker and goes on to welcome him back with a crooner-like rendition of You've Got a Friend in Me. However, by the time of Toy Story 3, it is soon revealed that he either broke, was sold, or thrown out prematurely since then (hopefully sold).
......If you don't know or remember the movies so well, I know what you're probably thinking; "wait, that's it?" Yup, that's it.
Why he doesn't qualify[]
Hey now, don't get me wrong; I find a cute, rubber penguin toy singing like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin as amusing as the next person, but once again, the issue is what does he actually do in terms of heroics, or even good deeds? The only thing that Wheezy really has going for him with regards to qualifying for the category is that during the few minutes of screen time that he has, he displays nothing resembling corrupting qualities. He's, by all accounts, a very sweet and all-around nice toy. However, people who used to add the category to pages willy-nilly seem to completely forget that that's only part of the equation, not the single criteria that automatically makes a given character a shoe-in for it. At least Chuckles and Buttercup had very minor acts of heroism. I'm honestly not sure if Wheezy really does anything that can be considered heroic, to the point I'm wondering if he even deserves a page on this particular wiki; he literally exists for Woody to save him from a yard sale, which is, coincidentally, what kicks off the plot, then perform a musical number at the end. If anything, his most significant contribution is that it's discovering him and the state he's in that further fuels Woody's anxiety that, as toys, they're all "just one stitch away" from being played with and loved to being unceremoniously thrown out or sold, to the point he actually considers going to Japan and leaving Andy if it means lasting forever and never having to worry about being used and thrown away. So when it comes down to it, he's basically a plot device; nothing more, nothing less.
And no, simply being a minor character and not being given the chance to do anything is not an argument that works, especially since this is a series where even minor characters can and do perform actual acts of heroism; for example, it was the trio of squeeze toy aliens that Mr. Potato Head saved from being blown out a moving car in the same movie that saved Woody, Buzz and all of Andy's other favorite toys from being incinerated in the infamous incinerator scene in the third movie. So in short, he, too, completely flunks the admirable standard of the series.
Final Verdict[]
Once again, I think this is a very easy cut. If any newer users read this, please remember; the category does not apply to just any character you don't think has any corrupting factors; they actually need to do stuff, even if it's just doing good deeds or helping other people in small, but thoughtful, everyday ways in a work with a lower admirable standard.
