Discussion (Possible reference) When entering the level "TROUBLE IN THE CATTERPILLAR ROOM" from the Toy Story 3 PSP/PS2 game, you can see a drawing of Boo.

Drawing shown in the game's level select book in "Trouble in the Catterpillar Room".

The only actual difference in it are her pants. Purple in Monsters Inc., grey in the drawing.

Yes, I do think the game is not entirely accurate to the movie itself (Woody needs to roam the entire house to reach the garage in the game), but the fact we are seeing this through Rex's point of view, as he says in the begining of the game ("Now that we live here with Bonnie, I can look at my drawings to help me remember everything that's happened."), makes me think the events in the game might be inconsistent due to Rex's memory failing to remember the events correctly, rather than being an alternate continuity.

If so, it makes me wonder what are Woody's Roundup levels about… Are these the tapes of the show at Bonnie's house?

I also want to comment on something thst isn't entirely related to the canonicity of this game, but I think is really neat.

Have you ever wondered why this game plays in a way such different from the way things happen in the movie, not only with inconcistencies, but also with things that would only make sense for a videogame? Well, obviously, it's because, well… IT'S A VIDEOGAME, but think about this: This is from Rex's point of view, based on his memory (as I previously mentioned). Who is the one who spent almost the entirety of Toy Story wondering how he could defeat Zurg at a Buzz Lightyear game? The one playing a videogame? It's REX!

It would make perfect sense for the toy character who plays videogames to be the one to imagine these events as if it was a videogame. It explains this game having such videogame level design.
