Gabby Gabby is the redeemed main antagonist of 2019 Pixar animated film, Toy Story 4. She was a vintage doll created in the 1950s who lived in the Second Chance Antiques shop with a broken voice box, desiring the attention of a little girl named Harmony.
What makes her sympathetic?[]
- She's a genuinely sweet and polite toy.
- She treats her minions, the Bensons, with genuine respect and kindness.
- Unlike Lots-o'-Huggin'-Bear, her actions were motivated by desperation rather than genuine malice or betrayal.
- Her voice box was defected by a poorly-manufacturing doll factory and has been forgotten in an antique shop for 60 years.
- She never abused or tortured Forky during her time with him and even fixed him up.
- She calmly reasoned with Woody to give her his voice box over her need for a child to play with her.
- While she did feel crushed and disappointed after being rejected by Harmony as an "uninteresting toy", she never showed any negative sentiment like Lotso'.
- She offered to return Woody's voice box due to thinking that she didn't need it anymore out of sadness.
- Gabby ultimately redeems herself by helping and comforting a lost girl who took her in.
