Monkey

The Monkey is a cymbal-banging monkey toy in Toy Story 3.

He started off as a minor antagonist, but in the end was reformed.

Toy Story 3
In Toy Story 3, he is a toy at Sunnyside Daycare Center. He has no voice but does make monkey noises and has two cymbals he can clap together.

He was first seen being played with by Bonnie when Andy's mother entered Sunnyside to donate the toys.

During the times when Sunnyside was under Lotso's control, the Monkey worked under Lotso as a nighttime guard watching all the security cameras in the office. Every time a toy tried to escape, he pushed a button that would turn on the PA and screeched into it, alerting Lotso and his other nighttime guard toys to capture that toy. The Chatter Telephone told information about the monkey to Woody when he came back to Sunnyside to rescue his friends. That night, the Monkey was busy focusing his eyes on one camera where Ken, Big Baby, and a reset Buzz Lightyear had cornered Mr. Potato Head that he didn't notice Slinky emerging out from his cell in the Caterpillar Room through another camera. Woody and Slinky ventured through the ventilation into the office. Woody attempted to put a bag over his face, but the monkey quickly turned around and screeched at Woody, making him and Slinky fall on the monkey due to getting startled. The monkey hissed at Woody and tried to alert the other guards, but before he could reach the door, Woody tripped him over, which triggered a brief scuffle in which the monkey overpowered Woody by repeatedly banging his cymbals on Woody's face. Woody told Slinky to grab a nearby scotch tape, and the monkey screeched in horror as he saw Slinky charging toward him. Woody and Slinky then tied him up with the tape and locked him in a filing cabinet.

In the film credits, he is seen having returned to his position of monitoring security cameras during the night again after Sunnyside is revolutionized into a cool and groovy toy paradise by Barbie and Ken, the new leaders. Enjoying a disco party taking place at the Butterfly Room through one of the security cameras, he puts on his star-shaped sunglasses and bangs his cymbals as if they were drums as he starts grooving to the music.
