Storyline
Have you ever wondered what toys do when there are no humans around? Toy Story peers into the life of the toys of a little boy named Andy, who’s favorite Toy is Woody. This position of favorite gives Woody rank and prestige among the other toys. But Woody’s place is challenged by a newcomer to the scene in Andy’s room and Woody must learn to overcome his jealousy and accept the newcomer with open arms or risk becoming an outcast.
