The Claw
Item from Toy Story by Pixar / Disney
The mechanical crane inside the Pizza Planet claw machine — worshipped as a deity by the aliens, and vindicated when a construction-site version of it saved the entire cast from the incinerator.
Also known as: The Claw, The Claaaw
What They Know
- Worshipped by the Pizza Planet aliens as a divine selector — 'The Claw chooses who will go and who will stay'
- An arcade crane game designed with a weak grip — the odds of winning are deliberately low
- The construction-site crane at the Tri-County Landfill functioned as the ultimate Claw, fulfilling the aliens' theology by saving the entire group from the incinerator
- The theological joke became the franchise's most emotionally satisfying payoff — four films of 'The Claw' jokes culminating in actual salvation
