Toy Story Toons: Partysaurus Rex is a 2012 Pixar computer animated short film directed by Mark Walsh. It was first screened in theaters ahead of the 3-D theatrical re-release of Finding Nemo. Partysaurus Rex is the third short in the Toy Story Toons series, based on the characters from the Toy Story feature films. The other two films are Small Fry and Hawaiian Vacation. The short involves Rex getting left in the bathroom and making friends with bath toys. It is one of the final roles of Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head, before his passing in 2017, followed by Toy Story of Terror! and Toy Story That Time Forgot.
Rex disrupts the other toys blowing soap bubbles, worried they may ruin Bonnie's house. He is chastised by the other toys, with Mr. Potato Head calling him "Partypooper Rex". The other toys sense Bonnie approaching, and scatter, leaving Rex alone when she enters. She takes him to play with while she takes a bath. Rex enjoys being played with along with the other bath toys, but soon Bonnie's mother comes to turn off the bath and take her out. Once alone, the bath toys wish they could continue to have fun, but all of them lack arms and can only function if afloat in the water. Rex initially thinks drawing a new bath is a bad idea, but recalling Mr. Potato Head's insult, he asserts that he is "Partysaurus Rex", and helps the bath toys to start a new bath.
The toys quickly start to sing and dance in a rave-like fashion, aided by a carefree Rex throwing a bubble bath solution into the tub, and blocking the overflow drain with a sponge. However, he suddenly realizes that if the tub overflows, it will leak out into the hall; the bath toys care little if this happens and continue to party. He tries to turn off the water, but only causes the handle to fall off, and the drain stays plugged when he tries to pull it out. Finally, he spots the knob on the faucet that stops the flow from the faucet, but realizes too late that this only diverts the water to the shower head. The tub starts to overflow, and the other bath toys are unconcerned about the problem. Outside the bathroom, Woody, Buzz, and some of the other toys arrive to check on Rex when the bathroom door suddenly bursts open and a flood of water pours out.
