Toy Story 2 Continuity Error: Books Beside Woody Vanish in Andy's Bedroom Scene

There is a movie mistake in Toy Story 2 that I noticed in the scene where Andy comes home from Cowboy Camp, and it involves a stack of books that appears and then completely disappears in the span of a few seconds.

This is the kind of small continuity slip that is easy to miss unless you are watching closely, which is exactly why I wanted to point it out for other fans of the film.

The Books Are Clearly Visible When Andy First Comes Home

In the moment when Andy returns from Cowboy Camp, there is a ton of books positioned to the left of Woody. As I put it, "there are a ton of books to the left of Woody if you pay attention right there." The detail is there on screen for anyone looking closely at that part of the frame.

The Books Disappear Just Seconds Later

The mistake shows up almost immediately after. A few seconds later, when Andy is heading upstairs, those same books next to Woody are simply gone. As I describe it, "all of the books have vanished." There is nothing left in that spot where the stack had just been sitting.

The Books Stay Missing When Andy Grabs Woody

The inconsistency carries through to the next beat of the scene as well. When Andy goes and grabs Woody, there are still no books or anything else to the left of him. So the stack does not just briefly vanish and reappear, it is gone for the rest of that sequence.

Did you ever spot this vanishing stack of books in Toy Story 2, or is this the first time you are noticing it?
