Squeeze Toy Aliens



Squeeze Toy Aliens a.k.a. the LGMs (Little Green Men) are a bunch of three-eyed space aliens voiced by Jeff Pidgeon in the motion pictures Toy Story, and Toy Story 2. They appear to be promotional toys for Pizza Planet, as they wear uniforms with the restaurant's logo. In the original film, these identical toys are prizes in a game of skill at the Pizza Planet restaurant and each one believes that "The Claw" will somehow choose one of them to "go on to a better place." In the sequel, three of these toys are found in a Pizza Planet truck that the toys hijack to chase Al to the airport. During the pursuit, they almost get blown out of the open window, but are rescued by Mr. Potato Head and become attached to him. Their unison catchphase is "You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful." After the toys return to Andy's room, Mrs. Potato Head, hearing that her husband has saved the aliens, chooses to adopt them, much to his dismay and they are also one of Andy's new toys. These same three aliens also appear in Toy Story 3. Set for storage, they end up in Sunnyside Day Care, along with the other toys. After experiencing torment from the young children, they and the other toys escape, only to end up in the city dump. Just as they other toys were about to be incinerated, they use a crane to save them all, declaring "The Claw!"

They also appear in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins and the subsequent Buzz Lightyear of Star Command television program. In this series they are an actual alien race and are employed by Star Command as scientists and inventors. They are called "Little Green Men" or "L.G.M." for short. A Squeeze Toy Alien is a playable character in the Toy Story Racer video game under the name "Little Green Man". They also are seen at Disneyland's Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters.
