Encyclopedia
Sheriff Woody or just Woody (born on May 26, 1995) is a fictional character that first appeared in the CGI animated film Toy Story, its sequel Toy Story 2, and will appear in a second sequel, Toy Story 3, due to be released in 2010.
History
Before Woody became Andy's favorite toy, a puppet version of him starred in a TV show called "Woody's Round Up" which also included the characters Bullseye the horse, Jessie the cowgirl, and Stinky Pete the prospector. However, the series was cancelled after man went to space, meaning space toys became the new craze among children.
Character
Woody is an old-fashioned pull-string cowboy doll. As mentioned in Toy Story 2, his construction includes a "original hand-painted face, natural dyed-blanket stitched vest, and hand-stitched poly-vinyl hat". He is Andy's favorite toy since kindergarten, with a special spot on the bed, and is the leader of the toys in Andy's room. In Toy Story 2 it is revealed that he is based on the main character from a 1950s popular TV Show, "Woody's Roundup". When Al Is bargaining with Andy's mom in an attempt to take Woody, Andy's mom declines Al's bargain saying it to be "an old family toy", Stinky Pete also directly refers to him as a hand-me-down toy later in the movie. He is voiced by Tom Hanks in the two films and by his brother Jim Hanks on other occasions.
Although he has been deemed the boss in Andy's room, Woody is somewhat of a flawed character as seen in both movies, as he has random bouts of jealousy, anger, frustration, and feelings of inadequacy regarding his role many times. He was described by Buzz Lightyear as a "sad, strange little man" and did little to dispel this accusation.
Inspirations
Woody is inspired by executive producer John Lasseter's favorite childhood toy, a pull-string Casper the Friendly Ghost talking doll. PIXAR Animator/Director Bud Luckey designed the character and came up with the idea of making him a cowboy.
Toy Story Midway Mania
Woody also appears in the attraction Toy Story Midway Mania. The attraction is located in Disney's California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California and Disney's Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
