Wheezy is the broken squeaky penguin in Toy Story 2. He gets put on a shelf after his squeaker breaks, Woody finds him, and Woody tries to save him from being sold at a yard sale.

What happens to him

  • In Toy Story 2 , Wheezy is forgotten on a shelf because his squeaker is broken.
  • Woody rescues him from the yard sale, but Woody is then taken by Al, which kicks off the main rescue plot.
  • By the end of the film, Wheezy is repaired and sings again with the other toys.

Later appearances

  • Toy Story 3 suggests some toys like Wheezy were sold or donated over time, meaning he may not still be with Andy’s original collection.
  • He also appears in spin-off and game-related material, which keeps him part of the wider Toy Story universe.

Quick Scoop

Wheezy didn’t really “disappear” in the story so much as become one of Andy’s forgotten toys, then get rescued, fixed, and shown off as part of the emotional heart of Toy Story 2.
