Main characters
Woody
Sheriff Woody Pride (voiced by Tom Hanks in the films and Jim Hanks in other media) is a 1950s-style pull-string cowboy doll. He is Andy's favorite toy and serves as the leader of the toy group. Woody is highly attached to his hat and becomes alarmed when it goes missing in Toy Story 2. His rivalry with Buzz Lightyear forms the basis of the first film's plot, as he resents Buzz for becoming Andy's new favorite toy.
In Toy Story 2, a toy collector named Al steals Woody from a yard sale, prompting the other toys to mount a rescue mission to Al's Toy Barn. It is revealed that Woody was the star of a fictional 1950s puppet television series titled Woody's Roundup.
In Toy Story 3, Woody and the other toys are donated to a daycare center, prompting him to lead a race to return home before Andy leaves for college. After navigating the dangers of the daycare, the toys are passed on to a four-year-old girl named Bonnie.

Why this record matters
“List of Toy Story characters” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, List, Story and characters provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2235021. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation.
