As Andy’s favourite toy, Woody has a great life. But this all changes when Andy is given a new toy for his birthday, Buzz Lightyear. Buzz becomes the favourite. And Buzz doesn’t believe he is a toy. Woody, consumed with jealousy tries to get rid of Buzz. Both get lost – and must find a way back to Andy before he moves house. Oh, and escape the clutches of ruthless toy filler, Sid Phillips.
