The house is shown in a disheveled state probably because they wanted to show that Sid's family DIDN'T CARE. Remember when Buzz found out he really was a toy? There was a shot of the father lazed out in a recliner. If they were poor, what would that kid be doing with all of those explosives and tools? Orthodontic work is extremely expensive also... If you'll remember; Sid had a mouthful of braces. -TalkingEd ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message. Problems? Contact [log in to unmask]
