Andy, a young boy, is playing in his room with some of his toys, including a Mr. Potato Head; Rex the dinosaur; and, particularly, his favorite toy, Woody the cowboy (Tom Hanks). Once Andy leaves the room, Woody comes to life and calls together all of the other toys to listen to Andy's birthday party through a two-way radio. The toys are nervous about Andy replacing them. Andy's mother surprises him with a new, must-have Buzz Lightyear toy (Tim Allen), based on a sci-fi action TV hero.

Science fiction is a form of speculative fiction principally dealing with the impact of imagined science and technology, or both, upon society and persons as individuals. ...

In the bedroom, the toys all return to their places as Andy and his friends come running in to play, as toys are not allowed to reveal to humans that they are animated, intelligent beings. After the kids leave, the toys approach the Buzz Lightyear action figure, who announces that he has "come in peace". Buzz is unaware that he is a toy, and he perceives his spaceship-shaped packaging to be his actual, damaged ship. He believes himself to be an intergalactic space ranger on a mission to save the universe. Most of the other toys take to him immediately, impressed by his many features. Buzz even boasts that he can fly and, by bouncing off conveniently located furniture, appears to do so. Woody, jealous that Buzz is invading his territory, dismisses it as "falling with style".

Woody is jealous and resentful because Andy spends a lot of time with Buzz, seemingly forgetting about Woody. Buzz even gets to sleep beside Andy in Woody's former place on Andy's bed. The other toys also begin spending more time with Buzz. Woody, who has always prided himself on being Andy's favorite, confronts Buzz while he is repairing his "ship". During their conversation, Woody realizes that Buzz believes that he is an actual space ranger, and not merely an action figure.

Later that evening, Andy goes to his favorite restaurant: Pizza Planet. However, he can take only one toy with him. Knowing this, Woody assumes that Andy will take Buzz, so he tries to shove him behind Andy's dresser, but inadvertently knocks him out the window instead. Andy, unable to find Buzz, takes Woody on the trip, and Buzz, who fell into a bush, discreetly jumps on board the van with hopes of returning to "Star Command". At a gas station, he confronts Woody and starts a fight in which they both fall out of the minivan and are left behind. Woody and Buzz hitch a ride on a Pizza Planet delivery truck, where they quickly spot Andy, his mother and baby sister.

As Woody goes to return to Andy, Buzz sees a toy crane game and believes that it is a spaceship that will take him to his destination. Woody climbs in after him, and they are greeted by a crowd of three-eyed green alien squeak toys who worship the crane claw as their deity. Sid, Andy's toy-destroying neighbor, appears and plays the crane game, succeeding in capturing one of the aliens, as well as Buzz and Woody. See also: List of deities Look up deity in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

Sid returns home, where Woody and Buzz discover his mutant toys, the results of his sick experiments. They are quick to assume the toys are malevolent.

The following day, Buzz and Woody are tortured by Sid, after which Sid leaves for breakfast and the two try to escape. Their efforts are haulted when they are held up by Sid's dog Scud, who chases them across the second-story landing. Buzz takes refuge in a dark room, where he sees a commercial on television advertising the Buzz Lightyear action figure, which quickly demoralizes him. The disclaimer in the commercial states, "NOT A FLYING TOY." In denial, Buzz attempts to fly off of the second-story landing, only to fall to the floor, breaking his left arm out of its socket in the process. Sid's sister later finds him and takes him to her room, where she dresses him up as a guest in a tea party, calling him "Mrs. Nesbitt". A socket generally designates a cavity or region used for fitting and connecting some specific device. ... For other uses, see Tea party (disambiguation). ...

Woody finds him there in a deep depression,wearing a hat and apron, his severed arm holding the teapot, and his world shattered after realizing he is only a toy. Woody tries to take Buzz with him, but Buzz frees himself and yells at him, telling Woody that he is "Mrs. Nesbitt", then laughs madly. Annoyed, Woody snaps Buzz out of his depression by slapping him with the detached arm. Buzz comes to his senses, and apologizes for his behavior. Buzz then becomes depressed again, saying, "Oh, I'm a sham!" "Look at me, I can't even fly out of the window!" Having an idea, Woody drags Buzz to Sid's room. In Sid's room, Woody climbs to his bedroom window and contacts Andy's other toys in Andy's Room, asking them to rescue him and Buzz. Woody tells Buzz he has the other toys attention, but Buzz ignores him, by playing with his arm. They refuse to take Woody back, still suspicious of him for knocking Buzz out of the window earlier. They ask him to prove that Buzz is safe and sound. Woody asks Buzz to come to the window, but he only throws Woody his detached arm, being too depressed to come in person. Woody, in a desperate attempt to convince them that Buzz is still alive, uses Buzz's arm in a puppet-like fashion (concealing the broken end of the arm behind the side of Sid's window), and imitates Buzz's voice to try to prove that Buzz is safe, but Mr. Potato Head and Hamm become suspicious, which causes Woody to make a mistake. He appears to confirm their suspicion when he accidentally reveals that he is holding only Buzz's dismembered arm. Andy's toys instantly become disgusted at Woody, and accuse him of murdering Buzz. Woody tries to tell them it is not what they think, but the other toys are too angry and disturbed to listen. Woody cries out to Slinky, but, being too ashamed of him, Slinky pulls down the blinds on Andy's bedroom window, and walks away. Look up depression in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

Woody begins to feel hopeless, thinking nothing can save them now. Then, the mutant toys seize Buzz. Woody, thinking that they are trying to eat Buzz, tries to rescue him. After Woody takes the toys off of Buzz, he realizes they simply reattached his arm. Before Woody can say more than a few words of thanks to them, Sid returns in glee with a package under his arm: a firework rocket labeled "THE BIG ONE". He decides to strap Buzz to the rocket and launch it, blowing up Buzz, but a sudden rainstorm stops him from proceeding. So he sets his alarm to try again tomorrow morning. Overnight, Woody and Buzz make amends as Woody helps Buzz come to terms with being a toy. Woody admits that it is his selfish jealousy that got them into this situation, saying, "I'm the one that should be strapped to that rocket."

The following morning comes and a moving truck stops in front of Andy's house. In horror, Woody realizes that this is the day that Andy's family is moving. The two toys try to escape, but Sid wakes up and takes Buzz into the garden in to launch him with the rocket. Woody rallies Sid's toys to save Buzz. He formulates a rescue plan, and decides to break the "toy rules" in order to stop Sid's cruelty (meaning that he will reveal to a human that he is alive). The toys make their way to the backyard and frighten Sid as his mutant creations surround him. Sid picks up Woody and is terrified to hear Woody talk (with his built-in speaker instead of his mouth) as he explains that toys do not like being abused. Finally, Woody begins to move and speak normally, and quietly warns Sid, "So play... nice!" With this, Sid panics and runs screaming into the house. When Sid's sister, Hannah, sees Sid scared out of his wits, she tries showing her doll to him, scaring him even more. He is now terrified of toys.^[1] Panic is the primal urge to run and hide in the face of imminent danger. ...

Now freed from Sid, Woody and Buzz attempt to catch Andy's moving van just as it is pulling away from the house. They open the truck's trailer door and try to get on board, but Sid's dog appears, biting down on Woody's leg and pulling him off the truck. Buzz jumps on to Scud's nose and attacks the dog, forcing him to let go. Woody opens the truck door and pushes R/C, Andy's remote-controlled race car, out of the truck to retrieve Buzz. The other toys think Woody is getting rid of another potential rival, so they attack him. They push him out of the truck before they see he was trying to rescue Buzz.

Woody returns to Buzz, and the two pursue the truck aboard R/C. However, R/C's batteries run down and the three fall hopelessly behind. In desperation, Woody lights the rocket on Buzz's back. They blast launch into the air, hurling R/C into the trailer and continuing upward toward their demise. Buzz then opens his wings, breaking the tape joining him to the rocket seconds before the rocket explodes. The two glide over to their family minivan. Woody is amazed that Buzz is flying, and Buzz calls it "falling with style". They land in the open moonroof unseen, and Andy is delighted at finding them, having thought they were lost forever. A sunroof is a cutout in a cars (or trucks) roof that can be opened to provide fresh air and sun to the people inside. ...

The final scene takes place at Christmas, with Andy's toys again listening to the opening of presents over a walkie-talkie. Mr. Potato Head is pleased to learn that Andy's baby sister has been given a Mrs. Potato Head (who is a major supporting character in the sequel, Toy Story 2).-1...

While discussing the possibility of being replaced by a new toy, as Woody was almost replaced by Buzz, Woody asks Buzz, "What could Andy possibly get that is worse than you?" They suddenly hear that Andy has gotten a puppy.

Toy Story began its life as an extension of Pixar's short Tin Toy, which featured Tinny, a mechanical drummer who tries to find his way in a baby's play room. The original plot called for Tinny to butt heads with a ventriloquist's dummy. Ultimately, Tinny was found to be too immobile for the storyline and he was developed as a "space toy", first named Lunar Larry, but eventually becoming Buzz Lightyear. Meanwhile, the original ventriloquist's dummy was designed to be sneaky, mean and borderline evil. When tests proved that the character was too unsympathetic, his character was gradually modified until he became the Woody of the film.

Other changes that the film underwent during development include the following:

• Billy Crystal was originally offered the role of Buzz, but turned it down. However, he later accepted the offer of voicing Mike Wazowski in Monsters, Inc., another Pixar film.
• Bill Murray was considered for the role of Buzz but lost the producer's number. Murray states he would have accepted the role and he deeply regrets losing the number, believing that had he done the movie it would have been him inducted into the Disney Hall Of Fame and not Tim Allen.
• The part of Woody's girlfriend was originally intended to be filled by a Barbie doll, but Mattel refused to consent to her use. However, when Playskool's Mr. Potato Head sales went through the roof after the first film, Barbie dolls made an appearance in the sequel Toy Story 2.
• Jim Carrey and Paul Newman were originally supposed to voice Woody and Buzz Lightyear respectively, but the budget wasn't big enough to employ them and the offer was accepted by Tim Allen and Tom Hanks. Newman would eventually play Doc Hudson in Cars
• Disney required several re-workings of the film, even going so far as to threaten to shut the production down.
• A scene of Woody having a nightmare over losing his position as "favorite toy" was cut for time, but later incorporated into Toy Story 2 and briefly referenced in the video game adaptation.

Toy Story in popular culture

• This movie was referenced five times on Tim Allen's sitcom Home Improvement. The first time, two trick-or-treaters come to the door of Tim's house, one dressed as Simba from The Lion King, and the other dressed as Buzz Lightyear. Randy answers the door, and gives the Simba more candy than the Buzz. Note :Jonathan Taylor Thomas, who plays Randy, voiced young Simba in The Lion King. The second time, Tim's niece Gracie plays with a Buzz Lightyear action figure. Another reference occurs in one of the outtakes during the credits, where Tim repeats Buzz's built-in phrases. Another reference is in one episode when Tim says to his brother Marty I'll love you for infinity and beyond. The last reference is in an argument between Tim and his brother Marty when Tim says, "I'm not talking to you for 'infinity and beyond'".
• Conversely, Toy Story makes at least one reference to Tim Allen's sitcom. Sid's tool box, which Buzz and Woody struggle to remove from the milk crate which imprisoned Woody, was adorned with the Binford Tools logo on its side, alluding to the fictional tool manufacturer that sponsored the Tool Time program on Home Improvement.
• There are several Toy Story references in the 2006 Disney/Pixar film Cars.
  • In the film, Lightning McQueen seeks the sponsorship of Dinoco, which is the name of the gas station at which Woody and Buzz get lost.
  • Lightning uses "Lightyear Buzzard" tires, a reference to Buzz Lightyear and a parody of Goodyear Eagle tires.
  • Lightning's racing number is "95", a reference to the year Toy Story came out, which was 1995.
  • During the end credits, a scene from Toy Story is reenacted by toy car versions of Buzz, Woody and Hamm.
• The Pizza Planet truck, an old yellow Toyota pickup makes an appearance in every other Pixar film.
• Debian (a Linux distribution) releases are named after characters from this movie. (Sid, Buzz, Rex, Bo, Hamm, Slink, Potato, Woody, Sarge, Etch, Lenny).
• This movie has coined the (oxymoronical) phrase, "To Infinity and Beyond!" (though the term "Beyond the Infinite" was prominently used in 2001: A Space Odyssey of 1968). The phrase has been used in particular by set theoreticians, especially those who study large cardinals.
• The Star Command salute displayed by Buzz closely resembles the Vulcan salute introduced by Leonard Nimoy during his portrayal of Mr. Spock in the original Star Trek TV series.
• In the ReBoot episode "Firewall", the characters enter into a game that is a parody of Wacky Races, but the level resembles Andy's room.
• In Tim Allen's 2006 The Shaggy Dog film, when he's in dog form and he jumps onto the back of the truck in the movie, he speaks the line "To Infinity and Beyond!" while in mid-air.
• In The Santa Clause 2, when Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) attacks the Santa clone he says "You are a sad, strange little man", which is what Buzz says at the gas station to Woody.
• A 2008 advertisement for the Pixar film WALL-E that aired in the United States during the televised broadcast of Super Bowl XLII on FOX features Buzz and Woody talking about the film as they see an ad for it on TV.
• A Buzz Lightyear toy is on the floor in the waiting area of the doctor's office in Pixar's Finding Nemo.
