Revealing to Sid...

Why don't the toys just reveal themselves to humans more often to solve their problems?

Toy Story 1 - came to life and scared an innocent kid to escape the house and save Buzz
Toy Story 2 - why not come to life for Al and threaten him for stealing from a child and doing something that's actually criminal? Then Woody could've escaped sooner
Toy Story 3 - Why not just run away from Bonnie initially when she finds him?
Toy Story of Terror - Why not come to life for the hotel manager? Again, he's a criminal so why not punish him to solve their problem?

There are some parts of a movie that need to be TO THE SCRIPT and then the grand finale, they can do whatever. It seems that the writers "broke character" in order to illustrate the point in the first movie of the series. For all the later movies, it was all ready a given AND at that point, they were just milking the franchise. Whenever I watch a franchise, I always just watch the first move. Today for instance, all three of these movies were on and I just watched the first one.

I have always wondered that myself. it remains a mystery.

I think it has more to do with the fact that Sid was blowing toys up and taking them apart so they wanted to teach him a lesson. Al was wanting to keep the toys the way they first looked and so was the manager in Toy Story of terror. I don't think it needs to be explained why Woody wouldn't want to come alive in front of a little girl who loves her toys.
