Computer Animation: A boy's favorite toy feels threatened when a new toy arrives in the house.
PLOT:
The plot revolves around the "what if" idea of toys coming to life after their human owners have left the room. In this case, it’s Andy’s room, and Woody the cowboy toy (voice of TOM HANKS) is Andy’s favorite. Unfortunately, Andy’s birthday comes along and with it, a new toy: spaceman Buzz Lightyear (voice of TIM ALLEN). Andy and all of the other toys suddenly like Buzz better than Woody. In a moment of jealousy, Woody accidentally knocks Buzz out the window and is then ostracized by the rest of the toys. From then on, it’s up to Woody to retrieve Buzz, avoid Syd, the toy torturing neighbor kid, and return to grace with the rest of the toys.
