Sheriff Woody or just Woody is a fictional toy 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 Roundup" which also includes the characters Bullseye the horse, Jessie the cowgirl, and Stinky Pete the prospector. It was canceled after the launch of the Soviet satelite Sputnik 1 in 1957, as space toys became the new craze.

Character

Woody is an old-fashioned pull-string cowboy doll. 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. Woody is also very sarcastic. In Toy Story 2 it is revealed that he is the main character of 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 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.
