Sheriff-Woody
Sheriff-Woody Pride
Sheriff-Woody Pride is one of the main protagonists in Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and Toy Story 3 (the other being Buzz Lightyear).
He is voiced by Tom Hanks in the movies and by Jim Hanks (Tom's younger brother) in most other media.
Sheriff-Woody was originally intended to be a Howdy Doody-like ventriloquist's dummy and was named after Western actor Woody Strode.
John Lasseter always wanted Tom Hanks to play the character of Woody. Lasseter claimed Hanks "... has the ability to take emotions and make them appealing.
Even if the character, like the one in A League of Their Own, is down-and-out and despicable.
Early test footage, using Hanks' voice from Turner and Hooch, convinced Hanks to sign on to the film.
Toy Story was Hanks' first animated film role.
Disney. As the former de facto leader
In the beginning of Toy Story, Sheriff-Woody coordinates a reconnaissance mission around his owner Andy's birthday party in the days before Andy's family move to their new house in order to find out what Andy's new toys are and to make sure that none of them are good enough to replace him as Andy's favorite toy.
To his dismay, Andy receives a new action figure in the form of space ranger Buzz Lightyear, whose impressive features soon see Buzz replacing Woody as Andy's favorite toy.
As the former de facto leader of Andy's toys, Woody is disappointed and resentful at his replacement.
Out of jealousy, Woody tricks Buzz into rescuing a toy trapped behind Andy's desk and use RC the remote controlled car to push him behind the desk.
Disney Pizza Planet restaurant
Sheriff-Woody.
Unfortunately, the plan backfires and Buzz is knocked out of the window.
After RC rats him out about Buzz all the toys turn on him, but before he is punished, Woody is taken with Andy to the space-themed Pizza Planet restaurant.
While Andy's mother refuels the car at a gas station, Woody ponders how he can return to Andy's room alone. Suddenly, he is confronted by Buzz and the two end up fighting and accidentally land outside the car, which drives off and leaves the two stranded.
Woody spots a truck bound for Pizza Planet and plans to rendezvous with Andy there.
Realizing that he will face the wrath of the other toys if he returns alone, Woody convinces Buzz that the truck was a spaceship.
At Pizza Planet, Buzz stuffs himself into a rocket-shaped claw game machine, forcing Woody to clamber into the machine to try and rescue him.
Woody and Buzz are then captured by Andy's next-door neighbor, the toy-destroying Sid Phillips.
As Woody desperately attempts to escape from Sid's house before Andy's family's moving day, Buzz realizes that he is in fact a toy and becomes a depressed burden to Woody.
In the film's turning point, Woody admits that Buzz is a "cool toy", but despairs that he himself stands no chance of being Andy's favorite.
When Buzz is taken away by Sid to be destroyed with a firework rocket, Woody teams up with Sid's mutant toys and stages a rescue of Buzz, terrifying Sid into running away in fear of his own toys.
Sid's dog Scud.
Sheriff-Woody and Buzz climb into the moving van, attracting the attention of Sid's dog Scud.
When Buzz gives up himself to save Woody by tackling the dog, Woody attempts to rescue Buzz with RC.
However, he is then thrown from the van by the other toys, who mistakenly believed that Woody was trying to get rid of RC like they thought he did with Buzz.
Lenny the binoculars spot Woody and Buzz on RC and the other toys then come to their rescue by using Slinky Dog to grab onto RC. However, RC's batteries end up dying and Slinky, stretched to his limit is unable to hold on.
Woody realizes that he can ignite Buzz's rocket and manages to toss RC into the moving truck just as he and Buzz go soaring into the air.
They fly /"Falling with style" in the air until they land safely inside Andy's car. At the end of the film, Woody and Buzz stage another reconnaissance mission to prepare for new toy arrivals on Christmas morning.
As Woody wonders what gift may be worse than Buzz, Andy receives a puppy, much to his and Buzz's dread.
