What Happened to RC Car in Toy Story 4?

As one of the most beloved characters in the Toy Story franchise, RC the remote-controlled car has been a fan favorite for many years. With his signature catchphrase, “You’ve got a friend in me,” RC has become a symbol of friendship and loyalty for many fans. In Toy Story 4, however, audiences were left wondering what happened to this beloved character.

At the start of the film, Woody and Buzz embark on a mission to find Bo Peep. As they make their way across town, they encounter several other characters from previous films—including RC.

He is seen briefly in an alleyway with a few other toys that have been discarded by their owners. It appears as though he has been left behind and forgotten, as his signature phrase is absent from this scene.

RC eventually reunites with Woody and Buzz when they are reunited with Bo Peep at her antique shop. He is seen once again as one of Bo’s loyal followers, but his role in the film is significantly diminished from what it was in previous films. He does not participate in any of the major plot points or character arcs throughout the movie.

While it is unclear what ultimately happened to RC after Toy Story 4 ends, it is clear that he still retains his loyalty to Woody and Buzz. Even though he does not play an integral role in the story this time around, there is no doubt that he will always be remembered fondly by fans of the franchise.

Conclusion:

What happened to RC Car in Toy Story 4 remains somewhat of a mystery. Despite having a brief appearance in the movie, his role was significantly diminished compared to previous installments. Nevertheless, his loyalty and friendship towards Woody and Buzz remains strong even though he did not play an integral role in the story this time around.
