Toy Story

is a supporting character in. Hand-in-the-box is one of Sid Phillips ' mutant toys; the result of a cross between a green monster hand stuck on the spring of a jack-in-the-box. Hand-in-the-box resides on the floor of Sid's room, usually near his bed.

In Toy Story, Hand-in-the-box is first seen when Woody is exploring Sid's room, where he and Buzz Lightyear are seemingly trapped. They are shocked by the appearance of Sid's mutilated toys, with Hand-in-the-box first appearing as a simple jack-in-the-box, but startles Woody with its true presence.

After the mutant toys discover a broken Buzz Lightyear, Hand-in-the-box and Sid's other toys swarm him and fix him, as they had previously done with Janie and Pterodactyl.

When Woody is trapped in Sid's room by Scud, he formulates a plan to save Buzz from Sid, Hand-in-the-box is held by Rockmobile, who mounts Babyface. Hand-in-the-box then extends his hand out to a doorknob so that he is ready to open the door when the signal comes. After Ducky rings the doorbell, Hand-in-the-box twists the knob to open the door, allowing the Frog to speed out of Sid's room for Scud to chase after. Hand-in-the-box, held by Rockmobile riding RollerBob, serves as a connection to Jingle Joe for transportation as Woody and the mutant toys escape to Sid's backyard. As all the mutant toys surround Sid, Hand-in-the-box grabs on to Sid's ankle to scare him. After Woody finally scares Sid out of his senses, Hand-in-the-box is seen giving a thumbs-up sign as the mutant toys and Woody celebrate their victory.
