Appearances
Toy Story 3
- “There is no way out!...Just kidding, door's right over there.”
- ―Buttercup
Buttercup is a white unicorn with a golden horn, mane, tail, hooves, and two pink hearts on his nostrils. Although his feminine appearance would suggest that he is female, Buttercup is actually a male unicorn.
Buttercup first appears in Bonnie's room when he meets Woody. He and Trixie welcome the cowboy nicely while Mr. Pricklepants shushes all of them while trying to stay in character. After their playtime with Bonnie, Buttercup, and the others see Woody trying to leave. Woody explains that he already belongs to someone named Andy. After Woody mentions that Bonnie found him at Sunnyside Daycare, Mr. Pricklepants and Buttercup inform Woody that Lotso runs Sunnyside like a prison. After hearing this, Woody returns to Sunnyside to rescue his friends.
After Andy donates his toys to Bonnie, Buttercup is seen giving Buzz a ride on his back. When Andy leaves, Buttercup is seen talking with Bullseye.
During the end credits, he is shown becoming close friends with Hamm, as the two are seen standing side-by-side when Woody reads his friends a message from Sunnyside written by Ken, when they watch an Alien and Mr. Pricklepants perform their rendition of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and when they enjoy watching Buzz and Jessie perform a pasodoble.
Toy Story Toons
Hawaiian Vacation
In the first episode, Buttercup can be notably seen playing poker with a few of the other toys, which he asks Mr. Potato Head if he wins, but he and Mrs. Potato Head say they are gonna have a fun week together, but Mr. Potato Head takes off one of his eyes and arms to play poker with them. Buttercup is also seen when Barbie and Ken go horseback riding. Ken jumps on Buttercup and tells him to go, but Buttercup replies by saying, "Okay, get off me." At the end, when Barbie and Ken went outside for their first kiss, Buttercup says the temperature in the snow has got to be a bazillion degrees below.
So far, this is the only Toy Story Toons episode to have Buttercup speaking.

Buttercup appears with the rest of the toys throughout the short, although in this short, he, along with some of the other toys, doesn't talk.
Partysaurus Rex
Buttercup is seen with the other toys when Mrs. Potato Head was making a large bubble, but Rex accidentally pops it.
Again, Buttercup, along with some of the other toys, doesn't speak in this short.
