Al McWhiggin is the toy collector and owner of Al's Toy Barn who serves as one of the antagonists in Pixar's Toy Story 2, released in 1999. His exaggerated, panicked reactions made him a memorable comic villain, and short clips of his voice have since circulated on soundboards and in fan edits. Because the scream is so brief and instantly recognisable as a cartoon panic reaction, creators reuse it as a quick reaction sound for fails, scares, and unexpected twists, keeping a minor movie moment alive in short-form video.
