What is a toy’s
greatest fear? That a newer toy may become the object of a child’s affection,
thus condemning the one-time favorite to a lonely shelf or a darkened closet.
For a pull-string sheriff named Woody, that fear becomes reality when his boy,
Andy, receives a Buzz Lightyear space ranger doll, er, action figure, for his
birthday. Buzz proves to be tough competition for the low-tech Woody. Being the
boy’s favorite, Woody has always interacted with the other toys like a
benevolent boss. So when Buzz first arrives, Woody tries to make the interloper
feel welcome. But as Andy gravitates toward Buzz more and more, the sheriff
becomes consumed with jealousy.
To make matters worse,
Buzz doesn’t think he is a toy at all, but a galactic hero who must save the
universe from the evil Emperor Zurg. His unexpected detour to the curious world
of Andy’s bedroom has put the space hero off his assumed schedule. It’s all
pretty grating for a toy like Woody, whose whole universe is that bedroom. So Woody puts on a
metaphorical black hat and tries to push the unsuspecting spaceman off the
dresser—an attempt to get Buzz "lost," perhaps forever. But the plan
goes awry and Buzz is knocked out the window. The ensuing scandal makes
Watergate look like jaywalking: Not only is Andy’s new favorite toy MIA, but
Andy’s old favorite toy is the culprit, and a few of the other toys are so stirred up they
want to knock the stuffing out of him. The only way Woody can make things right
is by tracking down Buzz and bringing him back—alive.
Woody must learn to
cope with feelings of jealousy, rejection and the humiliation of being demoted
to second-best. Meanwhile, the arrogant Buzz is forced to sort through his own
identity crisis bred by delusions of grandeur. In a poignant scene, he is
devastated when a TV commercial blares forth the truth about his factory birth.
Then he bravely chooses to accept his identity and impact his universe as a
toy. Woody and Buzz square off early, but the two adversaries find themselves
relying on each another for survival when thrust into the cold, cruel
"real" world. It turns out the most dangerous place on earth is right
next door. A barbaric young neighbor named Sid tortures toys in ways that might
initially frighten very young children, but even these hideously mistreated
playthings reveal a soft side as they befriend Woody, and together they rally
to save Buzz and teach their malicious owner to treat his toys with a bit more
kindness.
