Tour Guide Barbie is a supporting character in the 1999 Disney/Pixar animated film Toy Story 2. She briefly helps Andy's toys on their adventure to rescue Woody from Al McWhiggin.
Toy Story 2[]
While Mr. Potato Head, Slinky Dog, Rex, and Hamm are driving around Al's Toy Barn in a toy car looking for Al's office, where they plan to find Woody, they come down the Barbie aisle and Hamm asks them for help. Tour Guide Barbie, who knows the store very well, agrees to help them and slides down a slide before doing a midair stunt to land in their toy car. Taking the wheel of their car, she takes them down the Hot Wheels Aisle and then the Buzz Lightyear Aisle where they come across Utility Belt Buzz Lightyear, thinking it's Andy's Buzz Lightyear, and give him a lift.
In the bloopers, she says goodbye to the viewers, before complaining about her cheeks killing her, having to smile so much.
Trivia[]
- She has the ability to briefly switch her speaking language from English to Spanish, which Buzz would eventually do when he became Spanish Buzz in Toy Story 3. However, in the Spanish dub of the film, she repeats the statement in French.
- When the toys arrive at the Buzz Lightyear aisle, Tour Guide Barbie mentions 1995 retailers didn't order enough Buzz Lightyear toys to meet demand. 1995 is the year the first Toy Story movie was released.
- This is also based on a real event. Because of the success of the first Toy Story, Buzz Lightyear toys had a higher demand than retailers expected.
- When Rex jumps back in the car after trying to catch up, Tour Guide Barbie says: "Remain seated, please. Permanecen sentados, por favor". This is the famous safety spiel heard from the Matterhorn Bobsleds attraction at Disneyland in Anaheim, California.
