Mr. Phillips is the husband of Mrs. Phillips and Sid and Hannah's father, and is one of the minor characters in Toy Story.

Toy Story[]

Mr. Phillips is seen asleep snoring on a La-Z-Boy reclining chair when Buzz enters his TV room. He appears to be a hunting enthusiast, as the room he is seen sitting in is decorated with duck wallpaper and a mounted deer head, both popular animals in American hunting. Mr. Phillips also seems to find interest in bowling, as the television has on a Point Richmond ten-pin championship bowling event, and he also has a heavy red bowling ball that is in the closet Woody is hiding in. Mr. Phillips is seen sleeping during the middle of the day which hints he is either unemployed, has a night job or the scene takes place on a Saturday or Sunday, days in which typically adults in the working force have off to watch sports on television, such as ten-pin bowling.

It is also hinted that Mr. Phillips might be an alcoholic, which explains why there are empty cans surrounding his recliner (although they have labels such as "Cola" and "Dr. Catmull's Root Beer" so this is unlikely), and why Scud left the room the minute he saw him sleeping.
