What they have in common?

Easy: if you have the lucky to watch Toy Story 4 (in english), pay attention to “The Dummies” characters: their voice is Steve Purcell’s!

Is it the left character and are there multiple of those?

Generally I have heard good things about the Toy Story movies.  
Are they worth seeing? I have only seen the first one back then.

I haven’t seen the first, but the second and third, and I was positively surprised.

They aren’t horrible, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to see them.

I could easily believe your comment was a joke, but I’ll assume not. The first three Toy Story films are widely considered to be the most consistently good movie trilogy of all time. I feel if you were interested in films you probably would have already seen them! 🙂 (and if you’re not interested in films, you won’t appreciate them).

They’re all equally as good (except the fourth one, which is just a weird and unnecessary coda, but still very well made and _beautiful_ to look at).

Purcell being the voice of the ventriloquist dummies seems perfect. Aren’t there some in his comics? I feel like I’ve seen them.

I don’t watch a lot of movies and series because it takes so much time.  
The last series I have seen completely was _Breaking Bad_…

I don’t know but I remember this ventriloquist puppet in the Devil’s Playhouse:

There’s a scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom where Indy’s crossing a rope bridge above a river filled with alligators. People fall off the bridge, scream, and die. Master sound designer Ben Burtt asked for people to volunteer to scream. When it was my turn, I walked over to his small sound studio. It was darkened (so people wouldn’t feel as …

2 was better story wise, but had some annoying new characters.

3 was mediocre in comparison.
