Why doesn’t Gabby Gabby imitate her voice?
Recap: Gabby Gabby is the antagonist of Toy Story 4 (for at least the first 80% of the movie). She has a broken voice box and many insecurities from it. She tries to steal Woody’s working voicebox to replace hers, hoping to impress the antique store owner’s granddaughter.
My question is why she doesn't use her talking ability to override her broken voicebox? Humans can hear this talking. Sid did that in the original Toy Story, and there are many examples inside of Toy Story , like the dinosaur shouting directions to the dad driving and Buzz reminding Bonnie about her lost backpack.
So what stops her from talking whenever someone pulls her cord?
She would have to disable her voicebox, but removing the record seems like an easy way to do that.

Why couldn't Bing Bong be put in the Magic Bag of Memories?
If all the imaginary boyfriends fit in there without changing the weight, why couldn't Bing Bong jump in so the cart wouldn't get too heavy?

Dory gets to Destiny's tank in a bucket of dead fish... But Destiny does not eat fish.
Destiny is a whaleshark; she eats krill and small shrimps. Why would a bucket of dead fish have her name on it?

Tony and Violet set their date for Friday night, as both movies state.
Violet comes home after being stood up. This is the same night Dash does his math homework.
Bob wakes up in the middle of the night, learns the math, and teaches Dash in the morning before school.
Violet talks to Tony about the date at school that day, and Tony does not remember her.
But why were Violet and Dash at school on a Saturday?

Violet Parr should be a floating mask when invisible.
Edna Mode designed Violet's super suit from a special material that turns her invisible. However, her mom gives her the black eye mask in the cave. When Violet turns invisible, her eye mask should stay visible.
Even if Edna made a mask just for Violet, Helen pulls masks out of nowhere and gives them to her kids in random order. Why did she bring those masks if she planned to travel alone?

Several plot holes exist in Incredibles 2.Incredibles 2These holes bother me.
* Why did Elastigirl learn to fight again so fast? Mr. Incredible needed an intense montage to get back in shape. Is Elastigirl training hard in her free time? Is it just like riding a bike?
* Why did Rick Dicker not tell the Parrs about Jack-Jack's powers when he memory wiped Carrie, the babysitter, after she first saw them? We see this funny thing in the short.Jack-Jack Attack.
* Why did Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl say their kids' names in public? The first scene showed secret identities mattered in the beginning of Incredibles.Incredibles(the old footage part). They supposedly made sacrifices for their kids' future. What future awaits them if they use first names instead of superhero names? This bothered me. They fought in public. Every time they said "Take care of Jack-Jack," "Violet do this," or "Dash, can't talk right now," someone heard them.

Woody forgets his origin story. Buzz remembers his.
The first film introduces Buzz Lightyear. He believes his story; he is the Buzz Lightyear of video game/television/movie fame. He missions to stop his enemy Zurg from harming the universe—gas station scene from the first film is a reference. Part of the first film story shows Buzz learning he is actually just a toy. The comical Mrs. Nesbitt scene from the first film is a reference.
Woody meets the Round Up Gang in the second film. Woody does not recall any of them; he seems unaware of his own origin story. The toys from Woody's universe know him immediately, like Buzz who spots Zurg instantly. This plot hole lacks a good explanation. Thanks for reading.

If Gusteau’s restaurant closed due to rats, what excuses does Linguine have for his restaurant having rats?
People know about Remy and the other rats like before the closing scene. Anton Ego (and maybe other customers) can see Remy from the window in the door. What protection does Linguine have for the new restaurant to keep Remy and his crew, unlike Gusteau’s?

The dogs and the explorer have had no contact with civilization for many years. The dog herd on the island is at least the third generation and has never seen civilization. Still, they call Russell a "tiny mailman." They do not know what a mailman is!

Why is EVE's mission classified?
The movie exchange:
EVE: Directive?
Wall-e (demonstrating): Ta-daaa!
Wall-e: Directive?
EVE: Classified.
The logical exchange:
EVE: Directive?
Wall-e (demonstrating): Ta-daaa!
Wall-e: Directive?
EVE: I'm looking for a plant. You haven't seen a plant, have you?
Wall-e: Why yes, just the other day in fact. Come with me. I'll show you.

Forky is not a toy; he is trash. Why would he ignore the toy rules against moving when kids are around (unless he wants to) and instead throw himself away immediately whenever he wants.
