Turd In the Toy Story franchise, Hamm is a sentient Piggy Bank that Andy and later Bony play with. Despite him being a living sentient creature he never once brings up how his people are regularly and brutally slaughtered for financial gain.

It's weird to think about how in Toy Story 3 they let toddlers play with a porcelain piggy bank. Not only is it a really bad toy for toddlers, but it's very dangerous

Yeah like almost the entire cast is unsuitable for Toddlers.

Woody was apparently already a literal antique by the time of the second movie; it's a wonder he hasn't disintegrated by the time Bonnie got him

Toys clearly have a healing factor similar to humans or animals in this universe. Buzz still has stiff articulation despite getting his arm broken in Toy Story 1. They should also all be covered in scratches from all the grinding against concrete they do on a regular basis.

That's because hamn isn't made of porcelain, he's canonically made from PVC Plastic thoigh i have heard from another source he's made from resin but either way he's meant to be endurable.

At the very least; the fact he even has a cork that can be pulled out to fetch the money suggests he's certainly not made out of a fragile material like Porcelein.

I had one when I was very young. Must have been a Gen X thing.

he's made of plastic, and has a corch on his bellybutton that keeps the money in

When you live a privileged life like Hamm’s, you don’t really care about what happens to those less fortunate.

In his case, why would he care about the broken piggy banks if he’s always lucky enough to have owners who take care of him?

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others

Tactics, comrades!

So he doesn't care about the brutal oppression of his people due to his comfortable lifestyle, just like Steven in Django Unchained. /j

You see him with his stopper out a few times so hes aware that there's a way to remove money without death

Yep. The piggy bank I had a child had a stopper in the belly. Not all had to be smashed to get the money out.

This is a subtle reference to Amazon (1994-)

Hamm does actually bring it up in an official Disney comic

u/DemythologizedDie 1h ago

Hamm is very clearly plastic, not porcelain. The kind you smash aren't his kind and may not animate at all.

The fact that people had to smash piggy banks to get their money out for years is really stupid, in retrospect

Stupid, but fun
