Toy Storys plot revolves around the little boy named Andy and his toys that magically come to life when hes not around. The leader of the toys, Woody, is an old cowboy doll with a pull-string in his back. He keeps all the other toys in line. This position of authority also places him in the position of leadership over all the other toys. Woodys position as Top Toy is threatened with the arrival of Andys birthday, which brings with it a bright, shiny newcomer: a flashy, hi-tech action figure named Buzz Lightyear, Space Ranger. Unlike the traditional toys, Buzz comes complete with a fully detailed back story and identity, carefully spelled out on the back of his box. With this evidence to back him up, Buzz refuses to believe that he is merely a toy – to him, hes the genuine article. Whats more, Buzzs forthright personality and action-packed features impress not only Andy, but the other toys as well. Its not long before Buzz has quite unintentionally usurped Woodys honored place up on Andys bed. In anguish, Woody struggles with his conscience – can he somehow get rid of his rival? As an indirect result of his schemes to regain Andys affections, both Woody and Buzz become lost at a gas station miles from home when Woody accidentally pushes Buzz out the window of AndyÐs room.. They make a wild trek back to the safety of Andys neighborhood, but just as they reach their goal, they get themselves captured by the evil next-door neighbor, Sid.
Sid is the terror of the toy world. Sid is a malicious torturer of all types of playthings. Hes distracted from melting Woody and Buzz, to escape their fate, Buzz and Woody must somehow work out their differences and act as a team.
