Sid Phillips is a character from Toy Story. Sid is Andy's troubled next door neighbor until he moved at the end of the film. Sid was introduced in the beginning of the film as a toy terrorizer when he exploded a Combat Carl with an M-80, with his toy-chewing dog, Scud, by his side. Andy's toys were surprised to see him back at his old habits so soon, assuming he got kicked out of summer camp early this year. Later that day, Sid went to Pizza Planet. After playing Whack-an-Alien, the Crane Game caught his eye. After grabbing a Squeeze Toy Alien, a Buzz Lightyear was put in view. He then went after him, getting not only Buzz, but a Woody hooked onto his foot (Woody tried to save Buzz, but the aliens wouldn't let him).
Once he skated home, with his new toys in his backpack, he was immediately greeted by Scud, who he gave the alien to. Then, seeing Hannah with her Janie Doll, snatched the toy and ran up to his room, slamming the door in Hannah's face. He then pulls out his Pterodactyl toy as he plays doctor for his "double-bypass brain transplant." After putting Pterodactyl's head on Janie Doll's body, he opens up the door and shows Hannah. Scares, she runs to tell her mom. Sid throws the mutant toy at the ground and runs after her. With Sid gone, Woody explores his room to find a way out. He discovers Sid takes toys apart and puts them back together in weird combinations.
The next morning, Sid takes Woody and throws him across the floor, pretending to interrogate him. Next, he opens up the window shade to let the sun in. He takes out a magnifying glass and focuses the hot beam of light on Woody's forehead, until Sid's mom informs him his Pop-Tarts are ready.
Sid returns to his room later, with a rocket he ordered in the mail, labeled "The Big One." He intended to blow apart one of his toys with it for his own amusement. He originally wants to blow up that "wimpy cowboy doll," but he can't find him (Woody is hiding under a milkcrate). He chose Buzz, after stepping on his laser button, saying he always wanted "to blow a spaceman into orbit". He was forced to delay the launch due to a rainstorm, however, giving Woody and Buzz time to reconcile.
At the end of the film, Woody and all of Sid's mutant toys planned a way to scare Sid and help Buzz before Sid destroyed him with the rocket. The toys all appeared out of nowhere and approached Sid, scaring him. Woody then told Sid to take care of his toys, because they would know if he did not. The toys succeeded and Woody and Buzz escaped, leaving Sid afraid of toys. Hannah took pleasure in scaring her brother with her dolls after she discovered how scared he was.
Sid was never seen again as Andy and his toys all moved away, but they never forgot Sid's wicked deeds. It is unknown if Sid ever recovered from the incident.
